Google maps gps slow to update

I have an iBlue 737 successfully paired to the HTC and have it playing nice with google maps, but the gps doesn't update, and if it does, it's over the span of 5-10 minutes. I could be blocks away, by then. Is that normal?
Other then the fact it usually shows me in a totally opposite place then I really am, it updates very fast for me. So far I am 50/50 on actually being in the circle around the needle. lol
Mine will update for a couple of seconds, then stop. Sometimes it reacquires, sometimes it doesn't. Usually, when it does, reacquire, it's 5-10 minutes down the road. If I turn the gps on and off, it updates immediately, then continues to track for about 30 seconds. After that, it stops and the dot stays at it's last location.

how hot has your battery ever gotten?

i've got the AC in my room on at 23*C and.. my phone got to 39*C haha..
tethering + charging + making a skype call on fring makes for a really hot battery.
Not sure about Celsius but Fahrenheit 109 degrees
109 = 42c, quite hot, the point is that the battery need to stay as cold as possible, there's a very good thread about battery somewhere but for some reason it doesn't seem to have been made sticky

Yea I was using the hell out of it on 3g and downloading while charging...
I'm trying to get it up to 150... blow the thing out my hands....
I don't know actual numbers, but I was in the car on a hot day... it was plugged into a charger, giving Navigation directions, and I was using the 3.5mm jack to play it through my car stereo... and for some reason (heat or cause of the 3.5mm jack) it started playing music and skipping all over. Was really annoying because I was nearing my destination and really needed to pay attention to all the turns it was giving me, and the damn thing was skipping every 3 seconds from one song to another, pausing to give a direction, skipping to another song, skip, skip, directions, skip, skip, skip, skip... directions.
I got where I was going, had to circle the block because of a missed turn. Picked up the phone and the screen did not respond, the phone was almost too hot to hold (wasn't in the sun any of this time but I also don't have AC). The screen seemed to respond but the whole system was very slow. Took over 10 seconds for a response. I had to remove the power cord and pull the battery. I left the battery out for 10 mins while I went inside my destination. Had the phone in my pocket and my pants were on fire. But I put it back in and it booted fine.
TL;DR Too hot to handle!
Mine got hot enough in the car for the screen to stop responding as well.
I believe I got it to 119*F at one point. But now it tops out at 113*F after driving with nav and music for about 30 mins.
I have no clue how hot it was but driving down to Baltimore and using my N1 on the windshield for GPS in a 95 degree day. The phone got hot enough that holding it hurt.
53.3C/128F with GPS on, on a 100F day
nexous one
my phone got 151 degrees F
and it was on the car doc charging in the sun and its fine
Ive got you all beat...
I was running eVils ROM OCd and forgot to scale it down for charging...
Running Google Nav and charging under the sun and...whammo!! phone shut itself down and would not reboot until it cooled off. I couldnt even hold the phone in my hand it was so friggin hot.
All is good now....

Thats intense. Surprised it didn't say "phone too hot" or something.
Mine has reached 45c. I have that at my threshold and setcpu throttles it down to 600~mhz.

heat dissipating coating?

i was using my phone for google maps yesterday and it was pretty hot.
the phone of course got even hotter since the screen was on and gps on and loading maps constantly
not burning hot but it could definitely use a fan.
i tried to locate some kind of heat dissipating tape or something similar to our silicone covers to put on the back of the phone
the only 2 things i can think of is copper tape, some kind of textured or wrinkle finish film as well.

Is there a windows mobile application that tells you the battery temperature?
I have a Nexus One as well and there is an Android App called battery indicator that will show you the temperature of the battery so that you don't overheat it and degrade your battery life.
Dunno if you can do this on Windows Mobile turn by turn directions yet, but when I am using the GPS on my Android Nexus One I usually turn off the screen since it still says the directions even while the screen is off. If I have to have the screen on (in case I'm on compact city streets with quick turns) I always make sure to hold the phone close to the air conditioning vent every 7-10 minutes or so to make sure the phone doesn't overheat. GPS + Screen on is a hot, Hot, HOT combination

WMWifiRouter shows the temperature of the battery, not sure about any others though.
Install BattClock form Zuinige Rijder, configure and You can monitor batt temp nicely.
Now in summer at temps over 30°C the HD2 gets really hot when on the car dashboard navigating.
At approx. 43°C it stops loading when in a loading cradle in the car (LED flashing orange) and very often freezes then.
Last time - after freeze - I took out batt and it was damn hot, reinserted, started HD2, temp showing 63 °C (!!!!!!!!!!), after some minutes froze again at temp 65°C
Contacted HTC-support on this issue, just sent me an advice for repair service, no explanation why this was not taken into account during development since it´s not a faulty device but a general misconstruction.
Works nicely when ambient temp below 20°C or cloudy sky.
don't all computers shut down at a certain temp???
Why would our smartphones be any different?
I dont have any issue's with my battery getting hot at all, running android though the processor gets pretty warm...

Moto X Burning Hot on couch

I had my phone laying screen down on the couch partly under a pillow. I heard it vibrate so I went to pick it up and was shocked because it was extremely hot. So hot that the air around the phone and the whole couch around it was warm like a heating pad. I was able to pick up the phone but it was not comfortable to hold. Probably 120-150F externally and the battery was nearly dead.
So why was it hot? The voice activation seemed it picked up the catch phrase and was stuck at the "Ok Google" voice search screen constantly trying to process voice input. This isn't the first time the voice was accidentally activated and stuck either, so I will be turning off that feature or change the phrase so it doesn't activate accidentally.
I am quite concerned with the phone now because no phone should get this hot without shutting down or throttling to stop heat. I know many people have said this phone gets warm, but even just using GPS gets the phone alarmingly hot. It doesn't seem good for the phone. I only have a few days on my return period remaining, do you guys think this is a serious issue?
Note: I am running stock with frankenclark kernel.

Possible reasons the phone gets hot:
-An app(s) is running all the time... Solution: In developer settings there is a setting that shows which apps run in the backround, find it and delete it(the app not the setting)
-Problematic chipset... Solution: Get it serviced
-Kernel... Solution: Check what settings you have for your kernel, maybe you have disabled the throttling system
Hope I helped
