Phone is Hot to touch

[mhett11]

I have had my HTC Thunderbolt since it came out in March. I picked it up tonight and even through the hard cover it is hot to the touch on the back side and it has not been in use. (it was trying to load a video which I cancelled). Has anyone else had this issue, and if so do you know what the problem is?? Thanks

Mine gets very hot too.

This actually happens to my Droid as well (Original Motorola Droid). This happens only when I use alot of 3G connection and/or use it for a long time. Im guessing its because of the CPU being so much, and that the cover amplitfies the heat (traps it in). Try taking off the protective case you have for it. And try switching to WiFi. It might help.
