Question Phone heating up?

My Sensation 4G heats up not to the point of burning, but if i had SetCPU it'd probably say ~100 degrees. This is after about 5 minutes of use....anyone having this problem, and if not, what does the date on your phones back door say? Just curious to if this is a defect or not because my friends G2x never gets hot...

Mine gets fairly warm if im holding it and playing games. Its pretty cool when charging though. Dont think thats too out of the norm with a small powerfull device.

i thought it was just me, mines heats up aswell i can be texting browsing or whatever it seams to overheat regardless, i cant pinpoint the issue, surprisingly while charging the temperature seems to lower versus heat up. but regardless it still has a little heat to it. But nowhere near as bad as both of the nexus S' i went through were. The screen on my S4G doesnt get hot its more of the bottom portion where as the SNS(nexus S)' both of them the screen would get unbearable sometimes during charging and using

DONATE TO ME
Default Heating up

40 mins of Angry birds gets mine up to 42 degrees, however my Advent Vega would get just as hot under similar use and thats with a bigger case and more area to dissipate heat.
