Would like to know if anyone else is using their TBolt as a GPS in the car mount. I tried it the other day for a 1.5 hour drive, and i noticed it felt very hot. I checked battery status to see that it was 64C (147F) and my widget said it was overheating. I had screen brightness on 100%, GPS navigation running, no streaming audio or phone calls. Was charging via the car dock. I shut it off and let it cool down.
Does that sound right? I mean, I held off on replacing my old GPS unit thinking I would use my nice new smartphone to replace it, and it just overheats? It feels a little warm when charging it, but nothing that makes it say overheating. I've had zero issues using it when it is unplugged.
I think I was using a lot of juice by having the navi running and the screen very bright, and charging at the same time heated it up, but this won't work for an extended trip. I can't use this as a GPS if I can't charge it in the car. Any ideas/suggestions/solutions?
