Sprint fanboy or not,the phone overheating during voice calls,discharging and shutting down,is NOT normal operation. While this only happens in a warm room,if you have wifi on,it happens even in a cool room. Ive been through several phones,and they all have the problem,and others report it too. Its called an implied warranty. If you buy a washing machine,you expect it to wash your clothes. If you buy a phone,you expect it to make phone calls. If I want to talk all day Saturday on it,it should do it,like any other phone does. If it overheats,discharges and shuts down,thats not what should happen. Not to mention that I should not be expected as an end user to even have figured this out. All I knew was that sometimes my phone stops charging. Fortunately many years of experience pointed me in the right direction and a can of compressed air verified it.

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.
