Is it a bad idea to use Google Navigation, hotspot tethering, and charge the Verizon Galaxy Nexus all at the same time?
(while in the car)
I've had to do that on several occasions and the GN just overheats like crazy. Not burning hot, but hot enough
that I couldn't hold it in my hand. The GN is standing in a cupholder, not under the sun. The outside temps are
only in the 60s to 70s. There was one time that the phone just shut itself off completely.
Strangely, the other Galaxy Nexus(GSM, running T-Mobile prepaid at 3G speed) in my family doesn't get
as hot as my Verizon Galaxy Nexus when performing all three functions I mentioned above.... Is it because my
Verizon Galaxy Nexus runs on 4G LTE and consumes even more power?(which means more heat?)
Thanks!
