Default How hot is to hot?

The other day I had my phone on my car charger I picked it up and the back was very hot.The phone was only on charge for like 20 mins and it was only like 40% battery. I looked at my temperature and it said 44celsius and I then installed battery indicator to see what it is in farenheit and it said like 110. (can't remember exactly) I've never felt it get this hot before and I was wondering what temperature is to hot for the phone? Thank you for your help. Also what could cause this? A short maybe in the phone?

Were you running a cpu intensive app at that time? When I have my phone charging and I'm streaming videos in 4g, it gets pretty hot sometimes.

Personally I can handle quite a bit of hot but Mila Kalunis on Natalie Portman in Black Swan was just too hot.

Well come to think of it I ran smart bench 2010 and speed pi on it and the set it down and when I picked it back up it was very hot. I guess it's normal for running intensive CPU things. I just never felt it that hot before

Yeah it gets hot when your charging it and in a bad signal area.
If you don't want to worry about charging your phone all the time, You could buy those 2 Epic batteries off ebay, There was a huge thread in the other section. Well worth it because it comes with a additional wall charger.

These phones are pretty heat resistant. This past september just after I gotmy epic I left it charging overnight on the window sill next to my bed. I live in phoenix, when I woke up I checked my phone and immediately dropped it because the glass on the front was so hot. The setcpu widget (was on di08 overclocked to 1.2) read 168 degrees F. Phone was still 100% functional at that temp and I've never suspected that it was damaged in any way.
