Re: Nokia Lumia 920 Heats up a lot on 3G

 

I would assume you mean to say it gets warm, if it heats up you would be saying it gets hot enough to not be able to hold it IMO..

 

The top of the phone (above he camera to the left) is where the phone storage is. This does get warm when in use. Remember you are basically holding a powerful computer in your hand and it will get warmer when you use it more intensely. Some apps (like WhatsApp tbh) appear to be more memory intense and create more heat because of it..

 

If the phone actually gets to hot to hold you should have it checked. But getting warm is normal.

You may check if there are any applications running at the background. Please make sure to close the application after using it.
