Making a phone call kills the battery?

Ok so I got a replacement for TyTN but now if I call anyone or anyone calls me and I talk for even a couple minutes the phone battery will get really hot and will die in under 3 hours being at 100% before the call...
The only fix is a hard reset and taking the battery out for a few minutes and then the phone will run cool as usual but the second a call is made bam! does the same thing again...
Is there a fix for this?
Or does anyone know what would cause it?? I have had it happen on different radios so the blame can't be there.
Or is it a hardware issue that I need another replacement for??

hermes's get hot. Thats a fact. they just shouldn't get too hot (4-5 hours of use, while charging, wifi on and so on...) because the heat could be transfered to the digitzer near the processor and if that happens the digitizer could become unresponsive (touchscreen->lookscreen^^)...
MY hermes is getting hot all day, if it gets too hot, I take an old cooler from a cpu, open the battery door and lie it on it ;-)

Make sure you are using a 1A charger. This was a huge headache for me when I had my Wizard, the dude sold me it with a RAZR 750mAh charger and it caused me to buy 5 new batteries until I figured this small fact out!

don't ever continue using your phone that way, if you don't want to take a risk of having an expensive paperweight. Remove the battery cover and battery and put your phone in a jar completely full of rice. (phone should be completely submerged and you should also seal the jar) keep it that way until all the moisture is gone. (it can take a long time)

would that work? ive got it on the window seal at the moment in the sun. how long would you say it would take, days?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I would be careful leaving your phone in the sun, you don't want to cook it - literally!

Damn, mind posting pics? just more reason not to bring my Leo to partys!

Best way to keep your battery cool

Just use an old heatsink from an xbox 1

I wonder if they could implemenet a battery cover with very thing heatsink fins in the cover small enough to not as bulk...

Yeah, should make it just about as comfortable to use as one of the old mobile phones my girlfriends dad lugged around with him back in the stone ages. LOL!

Even placing the phone with the back cover still on, onto a heatsink, cools it off when charging.

I keep mine on my desk which is nice and cool, and the battery never gets over 38º.

i dunk mine in antifreeze... works all the time!!

Just use some liquid nitrogen http(www)youtube.com/watch?v=G5PJ1bhF8TE

charge it in the refrigerator

Use it in the freezer!

Dock and the whole time charging..

hey folks,
it's that never ending question i guess
i buyed that nice KIDIGI Dock for my dhd..it looks so pretty in it..and with the "Desk Clock" it adds a nice look to my desk.
so my question is, if its really that bad to keep it in there all the time. what about trickle charging? does usb support this?
i dont wanna damage my battery..
btw: when i get home, my battery is normally about 60% charged..if i put it in the dock whenever its on 60% it shouldnt damage it right? the memory effect can't happen on li-ion batterys compared to ni-cd ones i guess...
any tips?
how do you handle it?

ah btw: if you wanna have some pictures of the dhd in the dock, it's a pleasure to share them with you!

Li-ion battery does not have memory. They have a limited life time. Normally around 2 years. Whether you charge it or not, does not make a difference.
You can go read the boring details on Wikipedia.

ok thanks...so i think i'm gonna have that great look all the time
btw: this is it
