Mine got so hot a message popped up and said it was dimming screen to prevent burn in. I put in sandwich baggie and put in freezer for 10 minutes and that cooled it down

Whoo.! keeping your phone in the baggy must have insulated it just enough that for the 10 min cool down spared the glass from cracking.. kind of scary cool but if it works well least you got the Temps Down.!  b33Smiley Happy

Let's restore your device silver163!  Is your device dropping signal completely or is it 4G?  Are you doing anything when the device heats up?  I suggest completing a factory reset to assist.  Please backup and follow the visuals here http://bit.ly/Ob4OzX to do so.  Please let me know if you need any additional assistance.  Thank you!

Here's how to Put your Phone into Safe Mode: Silver163

Back to Previous Page

What is safe mode and how do I use it with the DROID RAZR?

Safe mode is a method that allows the device to run without non-essential applications. This is beneficial for troubleshooting 3rd party applications.

Enable Safe mode

    Note Press and hold the Power button then select Power off.
    Power button
  2. Power the device on.
    Note Press and momentarily hold the Power button.
  3. When the Motorola Dual Core screen appears, simultaneously press and hold Volume Up / Down keys.
    Safe mode
  4. Continue to hold the Volume Up / Down keys until Safe mode appears in the lower left.
    Safe mode

Disable Safe mode

  1. Power the device off.
    Note Press and hold the Power button then select Power off.
  2. Power the device on.
    Note Press the Power button.
