is the heat issue actually bad for your phone

[violent31601]

I keep hearing people talking bad things about this issue but is it actually bad for the phone?

I am still within my 30 days and still think I like my diamond better then what will be the Pro but if this is a potential phone damaging issue i might think otherwise

No it keeps your hands warm during the upcoming winter months. It's a good thing

Hate to break it to you, but the pro is going to have the same problem. The problems lies in the Radio, and although the Pro's is a *Little* better, prepare to keep your hands warm...at least winter is coming up.

I only know this because I am using the ROM for the radio from the Pro in my Diamond as we speak.

the pro has the heat plate in it so the problem should be gone

its the fact that the diamond has no heat plate thats the problem. and your correct the pro does have the heat plate. the problem is fixed on the pro.

no one has proved the heat is outside of the devices normal operating temps or is unsafe to the components. Jut a lot of people huffing and puffing making assumptions without any facts (kills the phone, kills the battery, etc etc) Its the usual forum blow-hard attitude, accuse now and threaten to exchange or return to Sprint, fact find later.

Well, my own observations over several weeks and several uses is that once the battery heats up because I spend 10+ minutes on the phone or using data is that the battery starts to drain very quickly after that happens. If data and phone sessions stay short throughout the day, even if there are several connections, it doesn't heat up and the battery has a much longer life.
