Ok, you have to realize what your pointing out is normal device operation. Not to mention how is that an advertised feature or spec which didnt materialize at deployment?

Take a look at any radio device and you will see physical heat buildup.

the device will have heat buildup just from the CDMA radio which is only .6 watts. The WiFi uses significantly more power and therefor is subject to higher heat dissipation.

Go touch your WiFi router and you will see it is warm/hot as well.

I feel like Mythbusters, sorry myth busted.

BTW, why would i " Dont even try to tell me I shouldnt be running alot of trafic over wifi" ? what you do with your phone is clearly your business.
