phone heats up = battery drains faster. The problems are one and the same. It'll heat up while not charging, too. It's just because the chips aren't being put in low power mode like they should. They run more, they run hotter, they drain the battery.

I did notice heating like that when in WinMo, personally, if I was using the phone aggressively (heavy internet usage or even a long conversation would make it unpleasantly hot).

As for launcher pro, go download a new version from the market. That should quell those messages.
