This happened 4 days ago. My 3 yr old 3GS was plugged into the car charger and was playing Pandora streaming music and I was also using GPS on Google Maps. All this activity heated up the phone and I received a Temperature Warning. I turned off the phone and let it cool off. Now whenever I turn it on, it shows the same temperature warning.
Changing the battery did not help. Resetting the phone (by pressing the home and power button) did not help. Keeping it off for 8-10 hours did not help. Connecting it to the laptop to see if I can access the hard drive did not help.
Has anyone experienced this and revived the phone ? I guess I toasted the hardware and there is no way out but I just wanna check here and see if there is any help. Google search showed some similar cases but most of them got the home screen back after cooldown and other forums didnt have any resolution.
Thanks in advance !
i should have backed up the phone more often. I will probably loose about 3-4 months of photos. I really hope that i can save the photos by some magic....
