Hey there peeps,

I just bought two units of the Lumia 925 on Friday (2nd August) at RM1435 at directd for me and my dad.


It is definitely a great phone, I do not deny that.

However, I have a really big issue with it. The phone overheats a lot. Both the units overheats when using messaging, browsing internet, whatsapp, LINE etc and because its aluminium by the sides, it can sometimes be unbearable to hold due to the extreme heat. I am not sure if these two are faulty units (can't be both at the same time right?) or is it suppose to be that way. I have tried googling around but the only thing I found close to this issue is this : http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-Lumi...25/td-p/1999686

.... which is no help at all. . Oh and because overheating is associated with great battery discharge, I am only getting half day worth of battery. Release charger in the morning (9am) and die around (6pm) [light usage in my case - less than 30 min phone calls, whatsapp, and browsing for a minute or two(overheats like mad when I do this)]. This also occurs to my dad's unit and he is a heavy user which causes the phone to die even faster.. Any users out there that would be able to help with this?

Just a side note : I just successfully convinced my dad to switch to Lumia from Galaxy Note 2 and would want to keep it that way but he is incredibly unhappy with this. :S

I understand that bro, but perhaps you did not read my post. I was only using it lightly (browsing [less than 2mins, whatsapp and call] and it overheats like crazy. I know the usual overheat from other phones (my family members uses S3, Note 2, iPhone) and it is definitely nothing new but if you were to hold this phone when it overheats, it is really really hot. like seriously. Ok fine, I can live with the heat but don't tell me I should be restricted in using my phone even for just a little bit since I did spent RM1435 on it.
