Using the phone while tethered to my laptop.. i got a message stating the above.. Is there anyway around this ridiculousness? I remember the Touch Pro had this issue at first as well.

First of all this is wrong section..
Second of all this is not ridiculous..this is how physics works...It is not the limitation of the phone, it is limitation of Lithium-Batteries...when charging and consuming a lot of energy like say with WIFI it causes Lithium batteries to heat up...at a certain point your phone stops charging to prevent the battery from exploding...this has been the same with ALL phones as long as they use Lithium batteries.
Solution: Put your phone on a metal platform..the metal platform will act as a heat sink and should alleviate the issue.
I remember there was a phone that was blowing up in peoples pockets when the battery came in contact with metal. Or was it the ipod touch?
But anyways you better give your phone a break too. Pull the battery for a minute and put it back in and Plug your evo in and let it charge off for like 15/20 minutes and then it should be ok to turn on. But if you wanna be safe just charge it while its off until its done

So I just got my new 3500 battery and I gotta say the phone doesn't look that bad the back fits like a glove I was a little worried because the one I got for my Blackberry curve did not and this was made for the optimus 2x the battery was a little tight but it works. So I charged it to 100% and unplugged it at 6am yesterday and I went all the way to 1am so that was 19 hours and it was at 2% and that was at light to heavy use at times I stream Sirius xm and Pandora and at times I did not use it at all while I was working. Today I put my live wallpaper on and see what happens. When I get a few cycles in I am going to start taking the extended bat out and using one of the stock battery's so I can put the thing in the cradle hooked up to the computer and charge the extended with the desktop charger.
The only thing is I noticed that is my phone had the first reboot since the update and only the 3rd one since I bought it and it was lagging a little. Could the battery have something to do with it? Could all these reboot issues be caused by ****ty batteries? Is that why people are reporting doing the update and still having the reboots? I don't think so but my phone really never had any issues and all of a sudden I put a new battery and it just seems weird. I also had a bit of a problem getting a GPS lock. Again I never had any gps problems at all. Anyone who knows what they are talking about want to weigh in?

OK first if you read the whole thing there is a question there I just combined two different things bit is that really a big deal? I admit the first part is an assessment but I figured it wouldn't be a problem so I am sorry it wont happen again

Does any one else's Charge seem to get abnormally hot while charging? Like hot to the point where it's uncomfortable to put in my pocket after charging. Wondering if I should try and get the phone replaced before it fries itself or if it's just normal. Thanks!

Mine does it a lot, and its actually getting to the point where it wont charge my battery completely. Charged all last night, battery says 100%, but when I take it off the charger, its on 49%. And it died on 12%. Im taking it to VZW tomorrow to see if they can switch out the battery.

Verizon should replace the overheating phones. Mine overheated so badly that an error message popped up and said the phone could not charge because it was too hot.....something like that. I brought it to Verizon and they swapped it out no problem.

I wonder how many times they can swap out. Because mine overheats when it charges, and sometimes when itaint charging at all.

definitely not normal. Mine charges off of a 2amp charger in under an hour from 10 to 100 percent without getting very hot. Make sure you change out the charger too, the phone might not be the only problem. If there is a partial short it could be causing it.
If it's doing it with the factory charger, yes, it's a problem. If you have an aftermarket charger (or battery), it's most likely that. These phones are a bit touchier than they ought to be about where they accept their power from.
Mine seems to get pretty hot as well. Lets hope that we can pull a fascinate and use the warranty to get the sgs2.
indeed
my charge is overheating as well. there are 2 instances when it overheats. while Charging and downloading a huge file from internet or the app that uses internet/data.
I have tried diff battery did not help. I assume everyones phone is like that. Charge has a overheating problems.
IF you are not agree with me try to torrent on the phone for 20min. Just for testing sake and prove me wrong.(I dont torrent but it is a perfect example)

I had the same thing on my original Charge when it shipped to me. Along with the heat issue, my phone was dying way faster than it should considering my setup.
I went to a VZW corp store and they switched me out with a new battery as part of the manufacturer's warranty program.
The new battery didn't overheat anymore and my battery lasted twice as long.
Either way, you have nothing to lose.
big red is shipping me a replacement today...hopefully its a good one!
As always, if you are having heat problems I recommend underclocking/volting to 800mhz. Last time I did that it solved ALL my heat problems completely! It would only get ever so slightly warm when watching Netflix(the most data and system intensive app I know of). Never hot though.
Recently I have had my phone turn off and not turn on, even when plugged into the charger, it blinks red for a while then it will stop blinking, after that I can turn it back on. It gets really hot, which is why I guess it is overheating. It only does this on long calls, these calls are important which is why I need to figure out how to stop this from happening.

Are you overclocking? Also how good is your battery? Batteries tend to get warm when the current draw is more than what the battery is capable of. I purchased a third party battery by Anker. Seems to run cooler for me and lasts longer than the stock battery ever did.
I have the same problem

I noticed this more with sense roms than i did with aosp or cm based ones. One thing you can try doing that may help as a temp relief, is turn off 3g and use 2g mode only. It will consume far less power during a phone call, ive personally almost doubled my call length by doing this. I only enable 3g(3.5g) when i need data.

How long have you had you Inspire? It has been well documented that there was a string of bad batteries. Many people got free replacements from AT&T or HTC, or just buy an Anker like goat tamer said. I have one also.

Yeah I forgot about the batch of oem bad batteries. Every once in awhile especially playing some intense games my phone would warm up. With the anker battery my phone NEVER gets warm now.

I haven't done any overclocking, I am using the freshly squeezed version of MIUI. The battery seems fine. I got this one as an insurance replacement for my Inspire last month, it is an obvious refurb, so no telling how old it really is. I will look into the Anker battery.

I woke up in the middle of the night (4am.) because my phone pretty much burned me and scared the hell out of me while it was charging. The phone was there with a black screen and heated a little over 120 degrees f (measured by a meat thermometer ).
When I pressed the lock button to unlock it, it turned on (I left it charging on) and had less than 50% of battery left. As i pressed the lock button again, the phone rebooted two more times until it let me turn it off.
Anyone know what's wrong and should I contact htc or costco from which I bought it from?
Do you use the charger / usb cable given by HTC ?
Because one time, I tried to charge my phone with another usb cable and my phone was also hot ! (But I don't think like you wow !)

Oh, I'm not the only one then, nice
Mine has gotten hot as well, but that is usually while I use it, not when it's just laying in my bed
My wife always gives me a hard time for sleeping with my phone, lol, it's on our lamp table next to our bed, but since I don't like leaving the phone on a hard surface, it's usually next to me on our bed, LOL.
Mines was overheating a bit when charging with an extended second party charger, but once I started using the HTC charger that came with the phone, it was fine. Also seemed to charge faster with the stock charger, maybe it's a figment of my imagination, who knows.
My phone heated up crazy mad when I watched a movie through the mhl adapter and since the phone is some kind of metal, therefore a perfect conductor, the whole phone was painfully hot to touch. Scared me ****less I've had a lot of android phones and this is the first time . I didn't want to chance it and exchanged it in store still within my 15 day exchange period whew. Anybody know what woulda caused it to overheat like an oven?

mines heats up too. is this every or just some units?
it heats up when playing games or surfing the web.
Mine heats up as well it's all phones.
I had this problem with my Amaze/etc.
Replacement will be the same so don't bother.
Proven to be wrong
The amperage of the adapter doesn't matter, as the phone will only draw as much current as it needs, and no more.
I use the charger for my HP Touchpad with all kinds of phones, and it's rated for 5V 2.0amps.
Mine stays at 105 degrees when I'm doing any gpc or 4g stuff on it when its not charging or anything is that normal ?

I think of it this way... I have a dual core 1.5ghz processor running inside a super thin aluminum case. I expect it to get hot, and even hotter when charging or under load. As long as I'm in warranty and the phone still works fine, I'm not going to worry about it.
Now, if it's causing SOD problems, that's different.
Just some units have a faulty battery or loose cable ever since I exchanged my faulty heating up one no heating at all

I'd be careful where you leave your phone charging. The daughter of family friends left her phone unattended charging on the bed and unfortunately set the bed on fire. This went on to pretty much destroy the house. NOT an urban myth either. Laptops and anything that charges need a little caution.
For those sleeping with their phones - stop it! The phone is big enough to sleep on its own
My overheating is gone I believe. It was there the first 24 hours. I guess because it was the first time it was being used.
After I fully charged it off, it doesnt get as hot anymore.
same here--
That was a one time thing hasn't happen agian.

I have through time noticed my phone being quite hot to the touch while it's being charged. Be it while in it's (condom) case or lying inadvertently underdeath my pillow while I sleep. My battery life was never great, but was sufficient, but I'm afraid now that it's at about %50-60 of what it once was.
I haven't treated this phone any differentyl than I have the other phones I've previously owned, but the durability of this battery is suspect! I'd love to get a battery replacement for it, but I don't think that's an option at this point.
Anyone else notice this? I've read another post where someone else noticed similar results with their battery life while charging their phone and playing games.
First of all, all smartphones gets hot while playing games and charging at the same time.
And charging the phone do generate small amount of heat, so do not put it underneath your pillow while charging. (shouldn't be hot to touch though)
If you are not doing anything mention above and the battery is still getting dangerously hot while charging, contact Google customer service (if its from play store) or your carrier.
*Do not use third party charger if possible.

Did you ever think about that this phone has a quad core processor that throttles at 70 degrees Celsius. That's 158F. Where's the heat going to go? Surely the heat will go somewhere but it will heat up the plastic somewhat.
FYI: shouldn't sleep with your phone under your pillow.
