If you are using the stock battery, you shouldn't worry about over heating unless you have a faulty one. If you are using an after market battery, keep a watch on it, since it may not include the IC to control over charge or over heating.

If you have never had a problem charging the phone via it's standard charger, then the above shouldn't be an issue.

Ok, so i have a stock battery and im pretty sure my phone was "overheating." I had fallen asleep with my touch and my macbook plugged in and tethered. (which i dont normally do) So is 100+ degrees too hot?

oh and i know that it wasnt the most accurate way, but i just woke up and was freaking out at how hot my phone was. so what i did was take the battery cover off and held the probe of the thermometer up against the battery.
