Re: My third Sprint Touch Diamond runs a lot cooler
I went into a store last night for them to check out my phone after having the same kinds of issues; heat, battery problems, etc. They just gave me a new battery, despite the battery passing tests. It's only been a day, but my phone's been running cooler and the battery seems to be lasting longer.

Re: My third Sprint Touch Diamond runs a lot cooler
Well it's not the battery (middle back of the unit). It's the Processor/Radio that gets hot (the bottom back of the unit).

Re: My third Sprint Touch Diamond runs a lot cooler
I realize that, I was just reporting changes with a new battery. I'm not insinuating its directly the battery, however you never know if a bad battery could have a negative affect on a processor just like a bad power supply unit could do the same thing to a CPU. Again, doubtful but not impossible...

Re: My third Sprint Touch Diamond runs a lot cooler
I was going to say I heard about all these issues but haven't experienced any of them with my week old Sprint Diamond.
Maybe they figured out the problem??? |

Re: My third Sprint Touch Diamond runs a lot cooler
there's a heatsink right under the battery that throws the heat down so it still could be the battery causing the heat.

A heatsink, being a passive device, can never get hotter than the device it's cooling. As for the "runs cooler," I notice that mine is running cooler. But that's because I'm just using it a bit less intensely as time goes on. Is it possible that's all you're noticing? Go fire up Slingbox for 10 minutes and see how hot it gets. What we really need here is some standardization. |

Re: My third Sprint Touch Diamond runs a lot cooler
I use both Slingbox and WMWifirouter,on my previous 2 Diamonds,it got hot like hell,I had to remove the battery cover to dispatch the heat while is use,but my 3rd Diamond with the same usage it only gets warm and i don't need to remove the batt cover during Sling or WMWifirouter.I would guest either HTC or Sprint had modified the hardware slightly for the heat problem,the manufacture date of my 3rd Diamond was 9/15/08,my previous 2 diamonds were both made 8/13/08.
