Like its weird. When I'm not using the phone is perfectly fine. When I text or sometimes use WiFi its fine. And also when my battery is like under 30% its fine. But other times like when its full, it gets really hot. I'm using lean kernel ATM.

Like with my phone as I type im full battery right now, and its cool as freon. And im over clocked. If your still under warranty then why dont you swap it out if its that hot. Otherwise I wouldnt worry about it too much.

Im on Wicked v5 Rom / ktoonsez kernel
Pretty good batt, and no heating issues. Been using this combo for a while now. Which case are you considering?

Alright I'm back to report. I'm still on AOKP running Ktoonz Kernel and no undervolting or over clocking. Its at 1.3 and 540 MHz and its running fine without getting too hot.

BIT I have to add I took my SD card OUT. Yes I noticed that the phone was getting hot where the sd was located so I took it out. Idk if its just me but this helped a lot. Its not running as hot as it used to be.

Anyone want to test that out as well? Would be helpful. Thanks

that would kinda make sense because when i use the adapter on the micro sd and put that in the computer and put some roms and some videos on it id say maybe 10 min to do all that. and then when i retrieve and go to put in the phone its really hot. so it could have something to do with that
