Epic gets very hot when I use 3G or 4G

---

My epic gets very hot when I use 3G or 4G, It is hot to the touch and situated at the top of the phone near the camera.I have 4 bars and no signal problems whatsoever. Does anyone else have this.
Thanks

Yeah. It'll do that. Especially if you use the connection for extended periods of time. It's nothing to worry about.

Mine doesnt get hot like at all.

The only time is gets hot is if im charging while playing a game or charging while it on like leather furniture or cloth. Other wise those are the only incidents i have to see where it gets hot.

Anyone else have anything to share?
Thanks

Download an app like battery indicator or spare parts and tell us how hot it gets. These apps have a temperature indicator on them. See exactly how hot it gets. Mine only gets hot when it's charging and I'm running high CPU things on it but I've never felt it get hot like you described off the charger.

I just checked today it was 42 Degrees Celsius. What are you getting?

I just bought one of these phone. I have also had the issue with the phone getting hot while on 3g. Streaming audio it gets pretty hot on the top half of the phone. The battery doesnt get hot at all. If i use netflix, it get very hot on 3g but doesnt while on wifi. Could this just be an issue with the radio on the phone getting hot?

The processor is working harder to pull the data while on 3g and that is why its getting hot.. imo if its not getting above 115 degrees really nothing to worry about... just don't use it for hours on end while its that hot. Also flipping the phone onto the screen while its streaming seems to help with the temperature also...
