is it the original car charger ?
maybe the problem is with the charger itself not the phone ?
never seen a problem like that...gets about the same temp as my garminfone while charging and using gps...and about the same temp as my netbook....doesn't seem to affect anything...
Have you tried another car charger? those are really cheap, i don't think it's a reason to switch to another phone without trying that.
I bought a Spectrum because I like the hardware; it's a huge improvement over my old CM7 AMOLED DROID Incredible. Sure, the developers aren't here. But it's still a great phone. And I can change launchers, which eliminates its biggest weakness.
I buy phones based on what they ARE, not on what they "should" become. If the Spectrum never gets CM9, I'll still be satisfied with the phone I DO have, not disappointed in the phone it should have become.

it doesnt matter how hot it is compare to garminfone.
it pops up this message "heat detected, phone stop charging"
you know you will run out of battery cus it refuses to charge!
Yeah, I know these phones are made for ICS. I'll be fine if all I get is LG's version of ICS. If I could eventually put CM9 on it, great. If not, I won't she'd a tear.
Now I'm just wondering if I should root and de-bloat before ICS comes out...

yeah. i bought that motorola car charger for 5$ on amazon but it never overheat my other phones except lg nitro.
going to try another car charger to see what happen.
Hi,
Under any given state of charge a battery can only accept a certain charge current, for which a certain voltage is required. So.. for a battery to overheat during charging then the charger is attempting to drive the battery with a higher voltage/current combination than the device can accept.. and the balance is converted to heat.
So, in summary, unless the battery is defective, overheating is the fault of the charger.
hope this helps...

so shouldnt it be the fault of lg also? i had other phones (samsung infuse, sony x10, galaxy s2 international <-all sold on on ebay now) and they never overheat like that. if other devices can accept the higher voltage and lg cant. who's the garbage here?
