Can you charge the battery while using TV/Video Out Cable?

[rihavens]

Is there some kind of How to for the video out cable? I bought one and I have never used it.

It seems that a LOT of the charging and heat issues come up when you use the charger that came with the Touch Pro.. although I can't comment (and don't want to - seems like a huge overheating risk right now) on that because I haven't even taken that charger out of the plastic

Unfortunately I have disproved your theory, I too have never used the OEM charger, I have loads of mini usb chargers all over the house and office nad have tried different ones. I have not kept note of WHICH one I was using when ti overheated, perhaps I will keep an eye on that

Nope, I'm using the nuerom (sp?). I'm not impressed tho, I have wanted to try another. The nuerom (I'm out of my league here so this may be silly) didn't even do things as simple as changing the data profile to "1". I don't know if thats the intent of a "ROM" but I was advised to ry one because my TP was so damned slow. I did all the work but really have not noticed a difference.

Is there any bugs with the JuggaloX rom or should I give it a shot? I mainly use my TP for streaming data in various ways. Is there a ROM that optimizes it for data?

Also from another comment in here, I realized I have never tried the stock "adaptor dongle" to see if it would charge thru THAT port while using video out. I may give that a try next....

Experiment with different mini-USB chargers and see if the same problem comes up. Granted mine's an Alltel TP, but I don't think that should make any difference...

It's not related to the charger, I have had it on all my chargers and USB charging.

Thanks for the replies guys.

It doesn't need to get that hot to the touch, it's about *where* it gets hot. I suspect the sensor is very near the cellular radio. A workaround is to open the keyboard and shut the screen off if possible.

The best way to combat the over heating is to place the phone in a place where it will stay cool or has air flow on it...
