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!
