Trickle charge was not the issue here. It would have been phone duty. What elevates your temperature IS the process of charging and discharging. If you are running a processor intense program like Navagator, you have a choice.
1. Run it without charging and have your battery deplete rapidly
2. Charge while running the app and place your phone in a process of discharge and charge.
The heat comes from two sources. I-squared-R losses and hysterises. Both are natural phenomena of battery chemistry.
Trickle charge comes into effect while your phone is largely sitting idle. If I remember correctly, it is kicked off once the battery potential hits a certain milli-volt setting which I am quite sure yours did at 100F. All trickle charge does is raise the lo-water mark for when the phone begins charging again. This is particularly valuable for LiPo batteries that are better off when staying at the high voltage mark.
