Phone feels hot all the time..

Mine was not preinstalled.

Same issue here too. All of my app's are closed and my screen it warm...almost hot. My battery drained down to 56% after 3 hours of not using it.

I have Sprint only network selected and I have full bars. Not sure what is going on.

I hope they figure out a solution soon, otherwise it's going back and I switch over to AT&T.

mine was not pre installed either. I had to check for updates. I just tried to remove my hotmail acct and am going to use my gmail. Someone said in a different thread having a push email vs. a pull email might be an issue. I'm not sure what the difference is but I remember reading that the hotmail was one that used more battery. Anybody remember reading that????

I am having this issue as well. I noticed it yesterday. I had been in a shopping mall and a call came in. When I answered it, I noticed that the phone was extremely warm and that the battery was almost dead (and I had terrible reception, 0 bars and the call dropped a few seconds in). The phone was completely charged when I left the house a couple of hours earlier.

I let the battery go completely dead and charged it overnight (using the plug-in charger). This morning it seems to be doing ok. The phone is not warm and the battery does not seem to be rapidly draining.

I had the same issues with battery life and heat. Changed email checking for gmail, att and netzero to the following: g=30 min, att=1 hr, net=6 hours.

battery life improved and heat issue disappears unless I charge using USB. Remains fairly cool using touchstone

Mine only gets really hot when its charging and im using it. Other than that its fine.

But all my phone have gotten hot while charging and using, so I thought that this is normal.

You may have location services on? and what about wifi? Bluetooth? how many email accounts are installed? there is a thread floating around that talks about how to reduce demand on battery...

I have OS updated and Wifi, BT and GPS turned off, no application is running. at standby, my phone burns around 1% of the charge per minute. There has to be something wrong.

Talked to my friend and compared the configuration of our phones. I only thing different is that I have HOTMAIL setup and he doesn't. I removed hotmail account last night, so far, I haven't had a draining like I experienced yesterday. (I am not saying this is the solution, but worth to try it out) That being said, I am still not happy with the overall battery life.

You folks should try to remove your Hotmail account and see if that helps.

^ that's what I was saying earlier about the hotmail. I'm in the process of removing mine now.
