<div dir="ltr">Hi,<br>My FR was getting <i>very </i>hot while trying to get a gps fix and also pretty warm just "on" in my shirt pocket.<br>While scanning for gps it got hot enough that I put it right back down when I picked it up. I'd left if flat on a table. I think the GSM and Bluetooth were on as well as the GPS. I didn't have access to anything to measure the temperature but it was hot enough I was concerned I'd shortened the life of the unit.<br>
The shirt pocket warmth was just warm. Warmer than room temperature. Wasn't charging, just waiting for calls.<br>It hasn't happened again lately. I don't know if the <span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">opkg upgrade</span> fixed something.<br>

</div>So let's think about it: we have ~3.8V of battery voltage, and 1.2Ah.<br>
Gives me a 4.5Wh of energy in battery. Let's assume we burn all of this in "a<br>
few hours" (maybe 4.5h), we get a continuous power of 1W. Hmmmm...<br>
Maybe just noticeable for a sensitive individual, but sure not enough<br>
for "toasty".<br>
Probably FR is hot stuff anyway, so that's what you're feeling? ;-)<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
