Probably a defective battery - I had one like that one time, and that was the problem.

yeah...take it in and demand a new battery.

Just to add in, the battery is covered by warranty.

Has only been getting hot ever since I got the Froyo update.

If you go to MENU>SETTINGS>ABOUT PHONE>BATTERY, is your, 'Up Time' and, 'Awake' time the same or very close?

If so, there is a power hungry app running that maybe should not be.

Nope, my uptime is always higher than my active time.

Well, that killed my theory! I do know if I have my phone charging on my laptop and I am using the phone, the battery tends to get hot. 44C HOT (111F)

The same thing happened to me after the update. Took it to the store and they immediately ordered a new one for me - no charges at all including shipping.
