My phone no longer gets hot (I did nothing)

It's been several weeks now and my phone no longer gets hot on long calls.

It will get slightly warm. But it used to get very very warm.

I wonder if the recent OTA PRL update fixed it.

I had stopped running TF3D and the HTC Phone Skin but that had not really fixed the issue.

Battery on standby has been good but I probably get about 1 hr of talk time.

Whats the PRL number for the one that got updated OTA? I'm using 60614 that someone posted and I updated manually.

How do I find out what PRL update I am running?

Start/settings/system/device information/prl version

Unless you live in the same relative area as the person who posted the PRL for you to manually update, i don't see it doing much good.

If you all are neighbors, then by all means, go for it!

PRL though refers to "Preferred Roaming List" It is usually only needed to be updated in the event you move to another city, state, etc although that also requires Sprint to do a CSA change (used to be a pain) to get the right state tax and etc etc working.

In Summary, you might need to update your PRL when you buy the phone at activation and probably once more in the two years or so you'll be rocking it.

or if you move.
Edit: If you want a PRL update pushed to you, call *2, ask for a PRL update. Hang up
Dial *2 again to get the update (if there is one, which is rarely) pushed to your phone.

The phone has scorched the nerve endings in your finger tips. To prove my theory, strike a match, then put it out with your finger tips. I bet you don't feel anything.
