And the guy who Gs3 that melted never gave a full back story to how it happened, the car holster he was using, and if it was outside on a very hot day.

Yeah, the lack of details about his car holster is suspicious, imo.

Would not the cold operating system of Ice Cream Sandwich help with the overheating aspect of the phone.
