You could physical approaches, such as setting a fan blowing across the phone or other airflow maximization (e.g., if you can stand it up, then both the back and front are exposed to air). Lastly, if it doesn't interfere with the radios, you could try resting it on an upside-down heavy-duty aluminum jellyroll pan ("cookie sheet") which will function as a ...

[I also have a HTC Desire] Your device overheats because its hardware is strained a lot during heavy use such as turn-by-turn navigation. This is compounded by the fact you probably have plugged it in the car charger as well, which is also known to generate some amount of heat (you probably have noticed this yourself when charging your phone normally). ...

I suppose your best bet is to return the phone, since you have just bought it! It is normal for all phones to heat up when using hardware resources like Camera or GPS, it is not normal to crash recurrently after a simple 10 minutes usage. You can check some information about battery conditions using the dial code ##4636## One last thought: Does it happen ...

Most modern smartphones produce a lot of heat when playing CPU/GPU intensive games, there's not much you can do about it. If you reduce GPU frequency, two things can happen: stuttering of gameplay (depending on your game), and the CPU/GPU run at maximum frequency for longer amounts of time to complete the same work (that a higher frequency GPU would have ...

Depending on the phone, my biggest worry would be screen burn. I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant and I have screen burn at the top of my screen from the time and the notification bar. A screen like a Super AMOLED is actually a lot easier to get screen burn then I thought it would be. It is actually pretty annoying now, I have to limit the background images ...

If the Desire is on T-Mobile, there was a very long support thread with folks reporting unusually high battery drain around the time this question was asked. The workaround seems to force usage 2G networks (EDGE or GPRS) as the problem seems to be with all phones on T-Mobile that talk 3G, not just Android phones. (This doesn't affect me, as I'm on AT&T; I ...

I have an htc desire rooted. My phone overheats and then reboots. The solution was solved by moving some of my apps from Phone to SD. The phone is commonly good but the battery runs out very quick. I advise nobody to get a task killer application from the market as i have experienced that it kills the phone battery more. I tend to use 3g internet and that ...

I also have the same problem i bought my HTC desire 3 weeks ago and if i stay on the internet for around 5 minutes, the phone starts to become extremely hot and if i continue ton use it it will cut of and reboot. my solution was take of the back cover and expose the battery. Taking this measure it kept my phone a little cooler and did not have to reboot.
