Re: Update: TP heats up, then battery drains, even while on charger.
I just switched from the Mogul to TP. Having noticed same issues and experienced the stop chrge prblm due to heat. Have also noticed that the heat is concentrated on the upper half of the phone and not the battery itself. Could it be the design of the circuitry that all the heat producing components are packed so tightly together to form a "smaller" package. The Mogul is a brick...but a bigger one. Probably the reason the heat was never a "major" issue...even for power users. Also, I have my phone tethered to my laptop thru out yesterday and today, and have noticed increased heat to the laptop as well. Could this be a battery issue...drawing more current that the circuits can handle? There may be a safety shutdown to the charging due to heat...but can the heat be a by product of a "little over current" problem. Has anyone checked if their in wall charger was "HOT" while charging and during heavy use? Sorry if this was a lot for 2 cents...but something to think about.
PS: Am thinking of modding a thin aluminum pieces to fit to the inside cover of the batt compartment and see if that would help dissipate the heat.
