Lumia_930_lede_holding2.jpg

As the Lumia 930 becomes more widely available, we are picking up on reports of the Windows Phone getting warm. Windows Phone Central Forums member Snapples has started a discussion on this and it appears Snapples is not alone.
We've also heard some grumblings about the Lumia 930 having a purple hue but the overheating seems to be taking center stage. The warmth (described as very, very hot) was first noticed by Snapples during the initial set-up and installation of apps. Thinking this was just a passing fad, the heat returned while browsing the web or sending a text.

My 930 gets very hot using gps-software and charging at the same time. Only charging no problem so it seems to be the display that is constant on causing the problem. Also it does not managed to keep the battery fully charged when using navigation, slowly the battery drains out even if connected to a charger. Have tried several different chargers including Nokia CR-201 and some chargers that should deliver up to 2,1 amps..
Was in Spain at vacation last week and did some driving and Here + started act strangely and after a while the phone shut down itself because overheating. After some time cooled from AC it started up again. So the phone is useless for long navigation-sessions. To bad, love Windows Phone but will go back to Android for next phone.. My Wife has a Nokia Lumia 735 and it has the same problems..
