went for a walk this morning, it was about 95 out (Phoenix metro), I was out for about 40 minutes with music playing and the smartrunner app running on my new iphone. Reason I mention the app is that it doesn't let the phone screen turn off in order to use the GPS to track my distance. Phone was in my shorts pocket most of the time.
Turned off the music basically as I got home, left the phone in my pocket. Within perhaps 2-3 minutes of walking in the door, my wife called me on the landline and told me my cellphone wasn't answering - she said it rang once and then went to a fast busy signal. I pulled it out and it was showing a yellow warning triangle and a message about overheating. The phone did not feel particularly warm at all, much cooler than my Pre typically feels.
After a few minutes the warning went away and things are working normally again.
So, any thoughts? Any idea how warm the phone can get before it "overheats" and shuts down? I'll need to try it again another day to see if I can repeat the problem.
On a side note - is there a better pedometer type app out there? I was only using this one because it's the same app I had on my Pre but I really don't like the fact that it completely resets if I accidentally close and reopen the app when trying to switch songs - ie. if I single-tap instead of double-tapping by accident.

) and I will use a tempgun on the back to see what the exterior of the case reports.
