I have to add myself to this list....waiting for bestbuy to get some in so I can exchange it. Mine got hot in my pocket as well and was enough for me to feel it on my leg. I called HTC and they said I would need to send it in....I am sure Best Buy will get them sooner.

Also my wife has one and has not seen this issue.

The funny part about when I called HTC was when the guy asked me to goto a Sprint store and have them try another battery......I started laughing so hard at the guy.....I asked him if he really works for HTC. Then reminded him that this phone does not have a removable battery.....

I have noticed some heat from prolonged use as well. Not quite hot enough that I am concerned, but it is noticeable. I use the battery indicator app and haven't seen the phone go over 100 degrees F, which did happen on the OG EVO while charging with the screen on (GPS, etc). Curious to see if this is widespread.

I noticed this also. While using the car app with the screen on my phone got extremely hot. Once I turned the screen off it cooled down. This kind of defeats the purpose of have a car/navigation app... Right?

have you seen the teardown of the one s? you can replace the battery. the term "removable battery" is for consumers to know they have easy access to remove or swap out the battery themselves because its placed on the outer casing. a "nonremovable battery" is inside the casing of the phone but is still easily removed and swapped just like any other part of the phone if you have experience taking apart phones, but the only place you would find a spare "nonremovable battery" is at a Sprint repair center. what you did was pretty rude, bro.

Today my phone got hot while in my pocket. I had other phones do that so I'm not that concern over it and I will most definitely not be bringing it back to Best Buy. People need to be checked out by doctors for OCD.

I hope he was being sarcastic when he said you were being rude. I doing think you were rude. But then again, I don't think a lot of things are rude when others think they are.

LOL its cool.....not my problem if he thinks its rude...that is his issue. I guess you really needed to be on the call....the tech was being funny too....we were talking about using the phone as an on the go iron.....using it to brand other people....all kinds of stuff. I mean my phone was so hot enough to feel the burn through a case and my pants!!!!! talk about scary! lol
