Re-exchanging your phone for something like a heat problem will not solve the heat problem. It's pretty apparent in all phones. A few people report they don't have heat problems. If they are so well enthused about it, let me have it, I'll show you how to heat them up. You actually have to use the phone pretty hard.

Running on 1x network like I does causes more heat, I don't have EVDO available. I found this out from traveling. EVDO Connection uses less battery and creates less heat. If others have experienced different. We should discuss it.

There is only one problem with the mogul though, It doesn't have enough ram. The 6700 is the same way. And every phone before it.
And each firmware release they make for the phone sucks up more and more ram. My 6800 is about useless with the latest 6.1. I cannot wait to flash a rom from here or xda to make it run better.

It's not always the people designing the phones who make these decisions. I'm sure they would do things the way we do. Make a champ device for everyone! but boards and managers say they have to put the garbage on there, or make it look more "sleek" to catch certain peoples eyes.
I'd rather have an ugly tablet phone with lots of functionality. Function over form for me. and the Mogul has that. The TP is more of a pretty phone with a lot of functionality.
People get down on companies like HTC, who is building lots of phones, for things like poor buttons and such.
Yea, the buttons are not the greatest. But does anyone here actually know how hard it is to set things up to make parts in a CNC machine? Or do injection molding? Build a circuit board with a robot?
The only thing that companies can fix is having a User, or somebody who doesn't have an engineering degree come to help design and test these things. Somebody who is critical and doesn't have a corporate eye.
Untill that happens. We will have issues like overheating, or poor screens in some of the products. The quality controll isn't in the mind of the corporate movement. Look at our cars now days. =)

If you have a bad screen in your phone, return the sucker!
if its over heating. Then your doing something right. =)

The issue is not overheating as much as the fact that the phone shuts off even when it is connected to the battery and refuses to charge (my phone hardly gets hot, warm at best but the battery refuses to charge since it's built in mechanism makes it shut off for some apparent reason). That's what this thread is all about, and that's something that HTC should have QC-ed before they put this in the open market.
