Hi all, just wondering if anyone else has had this problem...

Last week, on a very hot day in Australia (36*C), I received an SMS message whilst the phone was charging....
Anyway, this turned the Diamond on, and it connected to Wifi, and stayed powered up (for some reason) for a couple of hours....

Anyway, the phone was very very hot when I unplugged it, and since then it has been playing up very badly...

The problem has been getting worse and worse, and Now I am at the stage where the phone is almost bricked !

When I switch on the phone, I am presented with a white screen. (It doesnt boot up)
If I power up holding down the Volume Down, Rest, Power Button, I can get into the bootloader screen.
I can even reflash the phone with a new Rom....

If I reflash, the phone may run for a minute or so, then crash, and refuse to power on..... (Same problem as above)

Im reluctant to send the phone off for warranty, as they cannot give me an estimate of if it can be fixed, when it will be fixed, or what day of the week it is.....

Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, how did they fix it ??????
(Im hoping I just got a dud version... I love this phone, but I am hoping this is not a common problem !?!?!?!)

Cheers for any help anyone provides !!!!!

try removing battery for 10-15 and make sure your running a 1.93 rom because 1.37 and older are known for heat issues.

you may have already done this, but its not in your first post and there are order of operations to follow.

Guys, send your phones back to repaired or replaced. Just explain to your provider what is going on and I'm sure they'll try to help.
