    Lately, when my phone has a lower signal, the phone gets extremely hot. I have a battery app that's telling me that my phone will get up to 116 degrees. Is this due to reception issues on the incredible? Is there anyway to keep it cooler? I try shutting off WiFi and gps when I don't use them, and ill even shut off phone reception totally to cool it down. Has anyone else experienced this?

    Yea that's pretty hot. It might be because of the reception and its constant fighting for a better signal.

    My Droid is running at 1.2Ghz (more than double stock speed), and I only hit those temperatures if I watch a long video. I'm in the 80s on average.

    Right now just sitting there, my phone is 93 degrees, or so it says, and I can't feel any heat. I'm not sure if BatteryLife is accurate with temperatures?

    EDIT: TempMonitor Lite says 86 degrees, while BatteryLife says 93...

    Not to worry, they engineer that to survive a dashboard in the summer. Remember when the iPhones were burning so hot they stunk? Yeah, you should be fine, it can get allot hotter, and still be "normal". 116 is warm, but feels like allot more through that thin plastic huh?

    Google "iphone burning smell" and "droid incredible burning smell" Guess what ONE phone wins the overheat wars? Yup=)
