They will all do it. If somebody here is saying their's works fine, they probably have the device in an area where heat dissipation causes the phone to stay charging.

All 5 of my moguls overheated during data usage and phone usage.
I heavily use data.
The touch pro is even worse then the mogul at overheating.
I take the back plate off and set the device on a heat sync, it works very well. It's crude and effective. Though my heat sync was modified to fit the mogul battery.
I notice the heat build up on the TP is just above the battery.

Heat damages batteries, so heat protection is good.
I've ruined 2 mogul batteries due to over heating them so often.

This is just something I think we are going to have to face in the next few years with this technology.

Better roms and radio's should help with battery life and overheating though.

That's a good idea actually. Perhaps a diamond-like backing / battery door with aluminum triangles in the diamond pieces which would utilize the surface area. It would be a good way to dissipate heat, but then it would be prone to folding and bending.
