Try using BT PAN (personal area network) to connect. It's really easy to set up, and usually lets you choose a personalized 4 pin code for security. The BT chip will (typically) not heat the phone up as much because it draws a LOT less power from the battery. When lithium-ion batterys get hot, they tend to stop charging....or slow down significantly with charging. This can cause your phone to be outputting more energy than it can take it. It won't happen at first, but as your battery goes through more recharge cycles, it will start becoming an issue. If you could do me a favor and try out BT PAN tethering and let me know if it is significantly cooler or not I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks country!
