Fuze became very hot (warm); turned it off; what do I do?

Colleagues,
I noticed today that my Fuze was very hot when I pulled it out of the pouch. It was functional, but I immediately shut it off. I have had it for a month and this is the first time it has happened.
What should I do?
Best regards.

do u have wifi on? that would always heat up my kaiser.

have you flashed it recently?

reaverclan,
No, I only have Phone on and Data Connection on.
overhaulengines,
No, stock ROM. I have not wanted to put in another ROM until I had the phone for a little while longer precisely in case anything went wrong with it and wouldn't loose the warranty.
I turned it back on and it is staying under normal temperature but I don't know if it will happen again. Any other ideas as to why this happened or what else can I check?

If you dare to measure the battery drain it would get us closer to the answers

The fuze tends to do that. Especially with data connection on. If you were doing anything data intensive it should warm up. I actually had a phone call while the device was charging this morning and the phone became really warm. But thats normal. Dont worry about it too much.

I guess I'll have to keep an eye on it to see if does it again.

yeah if it is using data it will definitely heat up. the gps should make it heat up too.

how hot is hot?
The phone does get warm when you're using it...this is by design. It is even mentioned in the manual.

Battery or phone?

Hi i tried searching this entire forum for a thread on this but couldn't seem to find one. My problem is that my phone has been getting really hot lately towards the chin area (I know you guys are probably thinking, oh no not another hot chin area problem, but it's different, I think). The strange part is that it has been getting hot while I'm talking on the phone and the battery has been dying EXTREMELY fast, this is happening not only while charging but when on a full battery, because this morning I had a full charge and talked on the phone for about 15-20 minutes and I was already at 75%, which is really odd. So my question is if this is a battery problem or a hardware problem, which I hope is a battery problem because I'm sick and tired of getting a phone replacement, the one I have is my fourth replacement and I'm not looking forward to a fifth. Thank you
EDIT: okay for some reason I uninstalled that Lock 2.0 app, and it seems as though my battery life has gotten better, but not sure if it solved that call issue, will update again when I do.
EDIT EDIT: Alright I tested it through a phone call and it hasn't changed at all. I literally watched my battery level go from 32 to 21 in 6 minutes of a call and the battery temp went from 30 degrees Celsius to 35 degrees.

the only thing i can suggest is to get a new battery and see if that's whats causing it. if that doesn't help then, i'm afraid, it seems your phone's ****ed

ya i just called HTC and they are sending me a replacement battery as we speak, very good service. I ALSO called tmobile (surprisingly great service this time, after a billion others) and they have a g1 replacement for me as well but I will wait till i get the replacement battery first to see if its just the battery, if not then I guess I'm forced to get ANOTHER G1!

I was having very similar issues. I uninstalled Lock 2.0 and it since has stopped. Apparently that app running in the background sucks down the battery life.

semes to be happening on g1's ... mine died, then came back then died, then came back... now it cant stay on for more than 20 min...
and it started by it getting really really hot when talking... and i thought to my self.. hmm this is "normal" since this phone is known to get slightly hot... and i never had lock 2.0 installed.
i havent called htc , and tmobile would jsut laugh at me since im not even in the usa....
we could be looking at a "hardware issue" since i did an ebay search and found about 3 g1's that are dead due to the same heat/ powering off issue

[Q] Another G2x noob, is my phone going to be a lemon?

I'm kinda hesitant to post this, because I know you guys go through great lengths to emphasize searching first. I watched the video when I registered, nice touch. More forums could use vids like that!
oh well, here we go:
I have owned an Iphone every since they where introduced to the market. I have been wanting to make a switch for a while now. I was very close to purchasing a G2x back in April when they came out, but I held off. Well recently, a coworker let me check out his HTC G2 and I was amazed at the functionality, features, and other misc items compared to my old Iphone 3GS. I was never a fan of the slide out keyboard, so I knew the G2 was not for me.
Last week, I just missed the free promo on T-MO's web site, so Instead I purchased a G2X locally. I was totally unaware of all the problems you guys where having, as the typical review sites never mention these issues.
I have owned the phone for 8 days, So far here is whats been a going on:
7-29-11 Purchased the phone from Best Buy, decided to buy from them since they where the cheapest out the door with out rebate. I hate rebates! lol
Right before I am going to bed, I plug in to charge, and the phone shuts off, I cannot get it to power back up. I did not know about pulling the battery, I thought it had just died. I was going to wake up the next morning and take it back.
7-30-11 When I woke up, I looked around online, and found out about removing the battery and putting it back in. Now phone is working again.
I was able to get the OTA update to 2.3.3, right after the update, I did a master reset.
8-2-11 I downloaded a "radio scanner" app, and the first time I executed it, the phone froze, requiring another battery pull. Afterwards, the app ran fine.
Those are the only 2 major issues I have had.
Here are a few other things I noticed:
Screen: No separation, very slight light blur around top corners with lit black screen. Does not bother me, and I can't really notice it 99% of the time.
GPS: I know some have been having issues with this, for me, The time to get an accurate fix can sometimes take anywhere from 5-30 seconds. Even with the stock toggle always turned on, I do not always have the GPS Icon in the top bar, I don't know if I am supposed to. Can someone please confirm this?
WI FI: Seems to be working like intended, no complaints there.
BT: I have nothing to pair with the phone, so I will probably never know.
Making calls: this is kinda annoying, I will look through my call log and select a person, I see the dialer initiating so I put the phone to my ear, but a few seconds go by and nothing.... I look at the phone and find myself looking at the call log again, like the dialer crashed? Also, during the conversation the screen will turn off. I think this is normal, but when the phone detects motion shouldn't the screen turn back on?
Other than that, I love this phone so far. However, I do not want to swap handset after handset, refurb after refurb with T-MO or LG.
Is it possible that the phone will NOT continue to get worse as time goes on? Or should I take the first shut down as a sign of whats to come in the future? I have a 6 days left to take this thing back, but I am having a major conflict with myself about keeping it. What makes it even harder, Is I have already ordered a 32g micro SD, Trident case, and 3 extra data cables.
My plans are to root it, and run some sort of rom with it once I read up and half ass know what I am doing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
TLDR:
Have owned phone for a week. Shut down instantly the first time I charged it requiring a battery pull. Froze/crashed due to an app maybe Second battery pull.
Question a few functions but otherwise works like a champ.
Purchased case, micro sd, extra data cables.
thinking of taking it back and cancelling contract to avoid future headaches, but not sure if I should or want to at this point. need avdice please!

Doesn't sound like a lemon. The stock software is buggy. If you're gonna root it and flash another rom then you're gonna love this phone.
The GPS indicator is normal. It only shows when an app is using GPS for your location. Otherwise it doesn't show.
G2X CM7

It doesn't sound like a lemon to me either. I bought mine in April and my phone had a few reboots while charging overnight and two freezes in the first month. It has been OK since then, although I did not do anything about it (and I'm still on Froyo). The only thing I do is that I reboot my phone manually once in 7-10 days because the phone starts to lag. I believe this is normal for all smartphones including iPhone...or am I wrong?

Oh, forgot to mention when I hit the power button to wake the phone and go to the lock screen, I briefly see the last screen I was in before the phone went into sleep mode. Total lack of QA in my opinion... Will a rom fix this?
And yes Man of La Mancha, the iphone would get somewhat glitchy, but a reboot always took care of it. I didn't really have to reboot it too often, maybe once every 2 weeks or so.

The lockscreen issue is a known bug. CM7, or any ROM with 2.3.4+ doesn't have that problem.

[Q] Phone gets really hot in pocket...

So several weeks ago I was sitting in a restaurant eating and started to notice my phone in my pocket was getting really hot against my leg. Since it was in my pocket, obviously not in use, I thought it was odd but figured maybe it was a one time deal.
Then it happened again a week later but this time my phone was in my car mount and was being used, not necessarily heavy use, but it was being used - still it was REALLY hot (not the usual warmth you get from playing a game or heavy use). This time I restarted it and it seemed to go back to normal.
But the getting really hot in my pocket while not in use has happened a couple more times in the last couple of weeks. Then last night I was at dinner with a group of friends and one of them who has the same phone says to me "Something weird happened to me last night - I was eating dinner with a buddy of mine and all of the sudden I felt my phone getting really hot in my pocket."
So obviously this isn't just an issue with my phone or with a random app on my phone gone wild. When it happens I check the battery usage stats to see if there's an app going crazy, but there doesn't appear to be one. I can't figure out what if anything specific is causing it, but I know a phone should not get so hot in your pocket that it is noticeable and you have to take it out of your pocket - that's crazy.
Anyone have any clues???
Thanks,
Eric

[Q] Mytouch 4G Slide bricked while using

I installed a stable version of cyanogenmod 9 on my phone and the system was working perfectly, but I spent some time without using it because it didn't have any signal(I think its aerial is broken). After some time I decided to try to fix it, so I turned it on. It booted normally, but shortly it turned off by itself. Then I tried to turned it on again successfully, but again it turned off. I thought it was the battery so I plugged the phone, but it wasn't showing any sign of being charged. So I tried to charge the battery out of the phone and I checked its voltage, but when I put it back in the phone, it didn't work. The only thing I see, when I try to turn it on is a dim red light in the trackpad.
Any ideas of what happened? Is this reversible?
Thanks in advance.

I'm no expert, but it unfortunately sounds bricked to me.
Similar thing happened on my 1st MT4GS after like a week of owning it. We were on vacation and I was playing fruit ninja, slashing happily away as the phone was plugged in for bedtime. All of a sudden it turns off. I'm like WTF, it was charging! But it apparently wasn't, and similar symptoms to you. No other lights/charge/indication of anything working. Just the dim red light in the track pad I could get to go on and off. Since it was just over a month old after I got back from vacation, I wound up having to ship to HTC rather than walk out with a new one from t-mobile, but they sent me a replacement I've been using since.
So sorry I don't have better news, but it sounds like what happened to me, and it was dead and had to be replaced.

Hi,
This has happened to me two or three times but thankfully I have a few other devices so I needn't worry much.
When this happens I take out sim, SD and battery for a week or so. Upon reinserting battery all was good each time.
If you have a spare try it, I can't say for sure if we are on the same boat but its worth a shot before throwing it away.

Edit
Here is a link that I and a few other discussed our issues, none the same but all similar.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2257451
Also there are plenty of other threads I seen on this as well, search around a bit and hopefully you'll find an answer
Best of luck!

So there's some threads I just shouldn't read ...
After coming across this today my phone has started turning off by itself (doing routine things, like pressing the "Read" button on an SMS). There's gotta be a weird coincidence there (I had an underclock issue where the screen wouldn't come on a couple months ago while earlier that day I was reading the post on how to replace a bad LCD panel - so I get to overreact like that).
I think my issue is more about battery as I have been tracking it the past several hours (three shutdowns in a row at 60% battery, and then one ten minutes ago at 20%) but it continues to work itself out (with some weird stuff like notification panel crashing on me on one of the last reboots).
I have what I presume is a cheap 1900mAh battery (EZOPower) that is starting to show it's wrinkles. I have dropped the max processor speed a notch according to a recommendation in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2753720
...hopefully that was the issue. I nandroid'd my device just in case something goes wrong. If it continues, I'll swap batteries and see.
I'm hesitant to shell out for a couple Ankers because I currently have my eye on the LG Optimus F3Q (although getting one would be three months away, I gotta have priorities).
