My Solution to Overheating While Tethered

[extensive]

lol i like it!

[strra]

when i'm tethered via cord, it takes a little while to overheat and stop charging, but if i'm tethered via bluetooth or wmwifirouter, it overheats in a matter of minutes.... with this, it hasn't overheated yet... so far so good

I grab a bag and a couple ice cubes. Fixed.

I have an aluminum heatsink from a coprocessor it is about 2.5 x 3.5 x.25 thick, I just lay the phone on it and it works fine, uses no power, and easy to leave in the laptop bag in a pocket. An old vid card heatsink could do the trick too!

Where did you get that from? I've seen the little single can fridge shaped ones, I've also seen the flat ones that you set the drink on (might be the best for this application, just set the phone on it) but I've never seen a two can with a shelf model. Does having it inside reduce your signal any?

it's actually a 6 can any which way. I got it from MtDew points or something.. it's got the logo on the door.

the signal is fine, at least since it stay's cool it doesn't get into the self destruct overheat mode.. lol
you can kinda see at the top where there's a seam, the whole back half is metal, and the front area is plastic. I've only notieced an issue with wifi if my laptop gets 'behind' the metal.

I've been debating to take it apart, but I like having cold dew handy.

I was almost tempted last night to just make some holes in the plastic cover over the chipset, where the microsd card is, it will pop up a litte on the battery side and a simple breaze keeps the phone cool,, lol it's kinda fun to watch the temp go up and down every time you blow on it.

I usually just put water in 2 zip lock bags and double bag it to avoid accidents and sit the phone on top lol... yea I know not the best idea but it works.
