I just got this today. Very nice phone. One problem, it runs HOT. Does the battery normally get hot or is it defective? Couldn't keep it in my pocket

Mine only seemed to run "hot" if I were on a phone call for an hour+, but definitely not when idle. I've used it to take pics throughout a 45+ minute event and didn't notice it getting hot then.... Is yours running hot all the time, or are you only noticing this as you're using it (i.e. while talking / texting)? Also make sure you close apps you aren't using at the moment (flick up to close) as open apps require battery life to drain, which could be causing a heat issue....

I've had a Palm Pre Plus for years, now. It gets pretty hot while being charged. It does get pretty warm while talking for some time, too. But, while not in use, it doesn't get hot. I've found that if I prop it up, while charging, it runs cooler.

I had this phone and I hated it. I think it screwed up the battery running so hot. Good luck.

Does run hot sometimes. Make sure you dont have too many programs running simulataneously. Throw away the cards by flicking the, upwards. Webos can run multiple apps at the same time but will drain battery faster. When things are a bit wonky, reset the phone. (Under device ino) for questions go to webosnation.com under forums. Lots of experts there.

Bad battery clearly. Mine has been running for months. You don't shut it down. Are you sure the battery was installed correctly? Might have shifted away from contact or something.

I have never had the phone overheat. I have had it on for quite some time. That only issue I have is the charging port and how some chargers do not fit in there properly. In that case, you may have to remove the case.

I had the same problem and I changed the 2 AA batteries in the handset and problem solved. I had assumed because the LED display said it was fully charged it was, but the batteries didn't hold the charge. I was just about to buy a new phone when I figured that out!

I originally got the incorrect battery. The company took the serial number from the inside of my phone and sent the correct battery. I was very happy with it. since the original battery never stay charged. I travel a lot and loved having three batteries available. If unsure of the battery is correct for your phone. Give the company a call. They were very helpful

Very strange. I have the same exact phone and the battery is fine. Return it and get another one...There must be an oddity.

I actually sent the phone back for a full refund, which was granted. the phone got extremely hot after a 2-3 minutes of talking and both batteries were defective after less than 30 days of usage.....but I could have had a lemon...

Hi, the phone is very good. But it has software issues...like rebooting....wifi not working....camera not opening....no software update possible....If it works without software bug,, then it's very good phone. Mine has the above mentioned problem.....

Good evening friend, your question regarding the phone is very good I recommend you buy it, so far I have not had any problems with the equipment.

I returned mine due to a broken back cover so no idea if the battery runs hot. Sorry I couldn't help.

My phone would occasionally get too hot that I had to shut it down. It wasn't only with this battery though. I experience it with the regular battery as well. I think it's just a flaw with the phone.

i used mine for a year. my only complaint was data and using the super slow browser. but the phone was ok. i got this phone because a "Boost" rep told me that "WHY YES you can use your phone as a hot spot.(didnt see the need to add that it cost extra)but as a phone i had no trouble out here away from any major city. but i am on a major hiway.I-44. good luck and i hope you enjoy your phone

I'm seeing this same issue. After having Sprint test the original battery and confirming that it failed their test and buying a replacement battery on Amazon, the issue persists with using the latter. I'm assuming that it isn't an issue with the battery, but the phone itself draining the battery's life.

Hi, I do not recommend buying these phones, at least not to the same seller, I bought two and both were damaged in less than a month, come with a battery problem or something.

I got the replacement battery from Amazon, works alright, but have found that the batteries on this phone don't last much more than a day. Not sure if is a battery issue or phone issue.
