does it happen instantly or just in general while running? TPs will shut off when they get hot to save the battery physically from damage.

it's cause the TP is a piece of crap

my old mogul could tether and use gps and still charge and stay charging without even getting hot as the TP

it happensafter about 10 mins of gps or tethering. i like the phone this is the only prob i have with it

This is the most annoying issue with these phones..
Since GPS, WIFI, and DATA usage sucks the battery the most you need to have the phone on charge but then the phone doesn't charge because these activities heat the phone. ARRGGH.
I believe it was one of the cooks here, maybe calculin that has a registry hack the disables this "Safety feature" so that you can continue to charge the phone. When I find it I will post it.

Ucpro has the right idea,put that bicht in front of ac: prob solved. I do that and also keep a small fan handy at home when I need to tether,

yea i just gotta get a little stand or somethin so i can keep it in front of the ac. that would b slick if culikan has a fix for it though as long as i dont have to reinstall my rom

the safety feature is obviously there for a reason, ya it sux, but id rather have that than heat causing damage to the phone, just turn off the GPS for a while and charge the phone, no biggie
