About LinkBacksI was using my Droid turn-by-turn feature on a recent trip. The sun was shining on the dashboard, thus making the Droid hot at the touch. I also have the Droid plugged-in to my car charger. After a while, I noticed that the battery gage starts to decline as the charge is no longer happen. I then removed the Droid, unplug it from the charger and turn it off for a while. When the Droid is no longer hot to the touch, I turn it back on, connect with the charger and the charging is back to normal. From this experience, I am guessing when the Droid is overheating, it disables the charging of the phone. Anyone else experiences this problem?

05-22-2010 08:02 AMIf that is the case, then the Droid does not really replace a GPS unit. With my Garmin, I have it connected to my car charger for a long distance trip with no problem like this.

05-22-2010 09:02 AMYour Garmin should do the same if it gets too hot. Would you rather it blow up in your car while driving 70mph? Originally Posted by BikerTech

I had my phone on some socks overnite and when i woke up noticed it was at 51C with only 40% charged// guess that answers that question//
once i power cycled (and removed the socks) / the droid cooled down to 26C in about 20 minutes and charged in about 40 minutes...----------------------------------- + -------------------------------------Verizon Galaxy S4Some Mac users will never get or want an iPhone!
