Really HOT kickstand

I searched, nothing so far found... Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Has anyone noticed (yes before I get the 1000 responses that point out that the kickstand is also a heatsink) that the kickstand in normal use gets REALLY REALLY REALLY hot. So hot it's amost difficult to hold the phone properly?

Just wondering if it's just my device or if anyone else is experiencing this as well?

Re: Really HOT kickstand

I doubt the kickstand is actually used as a heatsink, but with HTC, anything is possible. If it's getting that hot, I would proceed to the nearest sprint dealer or a hose, which ever appears first. But no, my kickstand is always cold. Like my wife.

Yeah, it's all good! We have a 9 month old and he is a pistol and we bicker back and forth. When she leaves for work, I text her telling her that I'm so miserable, It's almost as if she was here....

Ah.... young love. God I miss those days. NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

After you're in it for 20 years, you'll be able to telepathically tell her that you hate her up to 5 miles away.

If you're miserable at 9 months, wait until the baby is 2. Complete pain the rear until 18, even then still.

What you guys need is a date night. Find somebody to sit with the little monster. Just you and your woman. Go out to eat, movie, few drinks, then get a room and (viagra if needed) and go at it like newleyweds. Then come home 5 or 6AM and you'll both feel a lot better.

Or you can get a hooker. Cheaper and easier.

Hooker. Go with the hooker. You'll feel better. AND! If you use a condom, you're not really bangin her.

Heat sinks. Wow! THe mind of HTC huh,.

Re: Really HOT kickstand

Why would I return a device that is NOT malfunctioning in any way except for a hot kickstand? Seems there are enough "refurbished" hell stories out there already without my also adding to the mix.

Beyond the kickstand being hot, which is dissipated once I use it as a kickstand, there's nothing else wrong with the device.

Re: Really HOT kickstand

My kickstand has never felt hot. Is the temp of your device unusually hot as well?

1, The device in general does not overheat
2. When did this thread get hijacked to discuss relationship issues?
