any advice since my phone is currently in Indianapolis at HTC and I only have 9 days left to respond before they charge the $35 and send it back

_________________________

ok so HTC originally told me that the screen wasn't flat because it had a pressure point.. well either they did that themselves or, DUH, heat causes things to warp, and I know this whole problem was because the phone was constantly overheating!

Now I just need to know what to say over the phone to have them own up to their damn overheating issue and fix the thing for free!

and yes mine gets too hot to hold or touch for that matter when its charging and 1. the screen is on. 2. the screen is on and i'm using gps. 3. the screen is on during a call. 4. the screen is on during a speakerphone call.

so how the heck am I supposed to use the phone while its charging during a call? It gets too hot! The back where the battery resides reaches almost to the point of a burning temperature it feels only a hairline away from burning my hand!


the proof of the Touch Pro's overheating:

"My HTC Pro on Sprint easily got to 127F all the time. More than 30 people complained about it too. I guess HTC just doesn't give a damn... It got too hot to hold on regular phone calls. After an hour-long phone call, the battery would be nearly drained, even while plugged into the charger. Radio portion of phone would register 116-127F. I swear I thought the plastic would warp after time. I also thought maybe my phone was defective, so I went through 6 of them until I gave up and went back to my original Touch.My HTC Pro on Sprint easily got to 127F all the time.

"I had this issue last week and though the phone was messed up. When I saw this, I laughed so hard my coworkers thought I was crazy. LOL

I went into a Sprint repair store on the weekend and the representative there informed me that while I'm surfing the internet I shouldn't have the charger plugged in. I noticed that while I'm using the phone as a GPS or just talking on the phone while it's on the charger it heats up. WTF... you can't use and charge your phone at the same time? What a Crock... LOL"

REALLY? WE CAN'T CHARGE AND USE THE PHONE AT THE SAME TIME? IS THAT SO? HMMM..MY POINT EXACTLY.

Re: UPDATE:Rainbow looking circle
 

Dont put your phone near a magnet. That should avoid the oil spot in most cases. Leaving your phone on a CRT(tube tv) will cause the oily spot. Or a home theatre speaker.

I had mine replaced for free when it had the oily spot.

Re: UPDATE:Rainbow looking circle
 

Umm....how about dont talk about something you have no clue about. The oil spot has nothing to do with magnets, or CRTs

Re: UPDATE:Rainbow looking circle
 

Have you tried it?

Re: UPDATE:Rainbow looking circle
 

all screens get funky colors when put near magnets. have you ever had a computer speaker come close to a crt monitor? it makes waves in the screen, but if you move the speaker away, they disappear or they disappear after turning the screen off and an a few times.

those funky colors are not the same as the oil spot on these phones, it DOES NOT ever dissapate, in some cases it grows larger.

Re: UPDATE:Rainbow looking circle
 

I ask again, have you tried it? I stated most cases. Maybe I should say some cases? I had the oil spot by placing it on my tv. The oil spot would slowly get less noticeable, but it would get larger and more noticeable if I put it on the tv again.

Re: UPDATE:Rainbow looking circle
 

well that's not the brightest idea to begin with anyway is it? why would I try something that would potentially damage my phone? I don't have my phone anyway, HTC has it.

and if it looks like this what you are seeing:

then you're f-ed too! :D

Re: UPDATE:Rainbow looking circle
 

That's exactly what I had, but the sprint store replaced my phone. I also read on XDA awhile back that ppl were having the problem by placing the phone on speakers to rest the phone(same concept I did when I rested phone on my tv in my room).

I still think a lot of the problems are caused by magnetic interference of some sort.

Re: UPDATE:Rainbow looking circle
 

well I never put anything near speakers because I know they are a huge magnet, and I don't have any crt monitors or tvs, all lcd so it happened because of my phone overheating, which you can read about in the bold part of this thread
