since when the dead mobo have anything relation of n8 warm up during use ah??

Yes if it's in active use but lying idle then it should not heat up.

wat functions u use? games, online and gps sure will heat up de.

constant connected to 3G network and browsing or ideal will warm up the phone because it needs more power to stay connected.

if left idle also heat up means you have something draining the battery in the background or a short circuit maybe..
Like my 5610 after a repair, came back and idling also hot...immediately I send back

leather flip case??

overheat can make mobo burn rite? then become dead mobo. my work always face this problem

Then perforated case is ur best choice. After using this i didn't feel like using Others anymore. Not even my silicon case. The perforated one has holes at the right places and is definitely pleasant to the eye. Another thing is because of the holes on the case, the phone kinda cools down more easily. And even if it heats up, u won't feel warm in ur hands.

highly suspected some apps hang at the background... try reboot and left it alone for a while then check again...

You are computer shop boss? PC overheat also because of failed heatsink installation or OC...
N8 no OC also heatsink? also don't have right?

I used to have EpikCase...so hard material and it covers the camera button...hard to press!
Keep getting blurry shaken photos, so I thought 5MP also useless la like this...then I took it out of the case...wa seh...

I have 2 of those perforated case and another leather case. All of it interferes with the camera button. Wish I can find one that is perforated but is designed like the spine case to allow easy camera use.

perforated case for N8 interferes with the camera button?

No lol .... i felt the warm from my pocket even when i'm not using it ... & my n8 was cover with perforated case ....
This was never happen before, dont know why sometimes i will become warm until i also can felt it from my lap ......

restart the phone. Most probably you have some apps running in the background...maybe you answered a call and forgot about NFS in the background still running

If you compare the spine case and those perforated cases, you will find that the perforated case has an extra edge covering the camera button making it hard to press onto the button. Try it out and you will see what I mean.

not phone. but laptop

yeah. haha. you can get what i means.

out lunch

spine case really open on the camera button
So much dust can go in

ur leather case have these similiar cutting on the hard holder??

D.I.Y cut the camera button out la
