Overheating Issues

My droid will overheat easily in 10 minutes doing basic tasks such as searching the internet. It has been doing this for about 6 months, and as time progresses, the shorter amount of time is needed for my phone to overheat and turn off. I have both juice defender and a task killer in place as well as dim back light and no wifi/Bluetooth when necessary to help with the battery. I'm curious is there anything to fix this problem. Would it be an issue with the phone itself, or perhaps the battery?

Personally dump the task killer as all you create is a maddening circle of force closes and apps reopening, which are force closed, so the apps open back up....... and so on and so on and so on.

B33 I use System Panel also. It will show people how little if any resources are being used by open apps.

eal2974,

Good morning! Welcome to the community!

Overheating can be caused by many things and are such isolated concerns, it would be best to talk directly so I can help get it resolved for you. Please PM me your name and mobile number so I can be of assistance!

Thank you!

I had task killer and dumped it because it didn't improve anything for me. My dinc overheats only when I use Google navigation while charging it in the car during the daytime with the dinc on the windshield, with or without a case. All possible settings are off or on low light settings. Customer support couldn't help. The only way it won't overheat is for me to hold it in front of an a/c vent. I'm in NY city. Don't know what will happen under the same situation in the winter. It doesn't overheat at night with the same factors. Good luck. I'll be looking to see if anyone can post a tip/hint/help. Good luck.
