Phone(s) Get Hot and Loose Charge?

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

K.E.N.
Probably you weren't near a tower. When you're not near a tower, the phone
and battery have to work harder to find signal, the battery's charge
dissipates more rapidly. This may cause the phone to get hot, also; if that
particular problem persists, bring the phone to a VZW store, the battery
might be defective.

P.S. you're the first person I've become aware of that has the same first
name, and initials; I'm Kenneth Edward Newton, making my initials my first
name, same as you!

Ken,

You're not alone, this same thing happened to me at a college football game
yesterday--I had a full 4-5 bar signal (digital 1X, not analog), but the
phone wouldn't connect. I presume that the servers/towers may have been
overloaded in that area due to 92,000 people in the stadium, many of whom
probably had Verizon service. Tried to make a call just before the game
started---nothing. No response, but full digital signal. At halftime, the
phone was dead, battery completely discharged. I also know that I hit the
"END" button and closed the flip when I attempted the before game call---

Scratching my head about it too, and concerned about it also---what could
cause this, and, more importantly, what's the fix---

BTW, phone is an 8900----

Are all of your phones, tri-mode?
