Dear All,

i have some problems though:

when i charge the phone or use some applications, it gets hot. also the battery does not last.

please let me know your comments in order to know if i shall return it or if its how it is.
thanx

Some threads about this on the forum.

1st step, try updating your firmware, this seems to be a problem on some firmwares
2nd, If that don't work and nobody else has helped I'd return the phone

Dear philippos ,

what about the replaced phone, you received?
Everything ok?
Smaller overheating and battery last longer?
Thanks

Dear Nomad,

he replacent is much better. the firmware is gingerbread.xwke7 and on previous was (if i remeber correctly ke4).

the batter is better (48 hours) and the overheating problems are almost gone.

i have turned off location services and 3g(open it whenever i want) and dont play games with high graphics.

How long do you wait with replacement?

Thanks
