iPhone 3G overheating?
I'm not sure if the overheating issue is related to the 2.2 update or my new power adapter replacement but my phone has started to overheat on (3) numerous occasions recently. (I've had the original 2G phone and the 3G since launch so I've experienced my fair share of warm iPhones but these past few auto "shutdowns" is making me very uneasy.)
On all 3 occasions, the iPhone got very warm (almost borderline hot). Then, it would automatically turn off (with a black screen as if it went to sleep). A hard-reset (Wake+Home button extended hold) would be the only way to bring it back to normal use or else the phone would not be able to hold a charge. 2 of the 3 shutdowns occurred when my phone was being recharged with the replacement power adapter. In all three situations, I was on the phone talking to someone and my battery life was at 20% red.
What didn't make any sense during these occurrences was that I couldn't charge my phone afterward. The phone would get really hot (during use) and the recharge but my battery life would remain at 10% red even after 20 minutes. When it first happened, I figured it was a freak isolated incident but two more very similar shutdowns made me think otherwise.
Any help or similar experience would be great. At least on the bright side, mobile Safari isn't crashing after 2.2. 😀
Additional info:
No external case on the iPhone. Replacement power adapter worked fine before. 2.2 firmware.
BTW, why did apple make it so hard to find the discussion board?
