what I would like to see is an elaborate liquid cooling add on that fits inside the 3000mah battery cover

I am going to make another. I am going to make it about 1/2" smaller from side to side and about 1/2" longer. I am also going to make it on a 30-45 degree incline.

why don't you guys design one so that you can have the keyboard open? that helps keep it cooler

You could take the fans off here and use them, this way you can use only 1 usb port for everything

nice one I was looking for some 5v fans for the project. I just have been procrastinating on the actual purchase of a dock to hack apart. Lack of funding with my current living situation. Live by myself pay all the bills

However if you use a material that can get hot, the device will not work as well. You place the phone into a box? Would make more sense to have an open top of which air would simply blow from the bottom and blow the hot are from the phone on top.

What about a battery door with holes to help airholes, like in the Sprint TouchPro2?

careful with your voltage and amperage. the device will suck i think 3.7v or so and roughly 300 mah. dont want to undervoltage your device. also if the fan is under voltage then the process willl be underefficient.

If I were you. get a cheap adapter and use a stronger fan(s) and you will have better efficiency. of course this will take away portability. but you can always use batteries if this is an issue.

or perhaps a second usb cable?

That's actually an excellent idea, wish i had a mill or at least a drill press handy!

anyone who has one of those at home could certainly make some $$$

Wow! Nice job. Hey, if thats what it takes...

-I'm gonna have to agree with the person who recommended upgrading your radio. Additionally I don't even bother tethering unless I have full signal bars.

-I warmed up those 2 adhesive circles with my finger (The little ones covering the antenna ports) and slid them into the middle.
WARNING: i decided to slide them indtead of peeling them off because the little patches of electrical tape, that they touch, seem to have wires in them. Possibly part of the antenna. I practically scraped them off of my first TouchPro and my gps stopped working. I must have severed one of those wires.

-Finally, taking the battery cover off and placing it on a cold metal surface (or the granite window ledge at *bucks) works well enough for me.
Matter of fact, this last one has been good enough when using WMWifiRouter's 3G->Wifi connection. Normally I would have gotten so warm and inneficient that, even when plugged in, the battery would drain in 20-30 minutes.

Hope this helps some people
