In my particular case, the phone was not in any type of heat. During the 2 days that I had it, it was in air conditioning. I hard reset it and the problem didn't reoccur. Thing that bothered me is when the apple store said the phone registered it hit 130 degrees. Just picked up the replacement phone 2 hours ago. Will keep my fingers crossed on this one.
Got a tip for us?

iPhone 4 Over Heating!
Got a phone call on my iPhone 4 today.
It was discounted immediately with this image:

Over Heating message along with a network lost?
Is this due to the fact the iPhone 4 is over working to keep the signal?

Left mine in car as well and it was hot as hell.... I held it to the AC of the car then it cooled down hope i didnt mess annything up internally
Seems to more of a hardware failure than overheating.
BTW, did you leave your iPhone in a hot or near a hot place?

No just on my desk on the iPhone 4 dock. Not even plugged in.
A call came in and then it froze up and displayed that error!
The room is ac cooled so it's pretty chilly.
And ideas?
Has to be hardware failure. In this case, heat sensor. Talk to Apple over the phone and see what they recommend.
I have booked it in for 2pm tomorrow.
I think I'm going to get a refund and wait till apple decides to pull there act together and sort out the signal loss that just keeps popping up!
It was fine at first but dropped call after dropped call is really starting to annoy me! I have never got a dropped call endless i was driving.
Apple are not the company they used to be so should we get used to it? Or fight back

I had to wait for about 5-10 mins to use it again
Yes.
If you had done a search, you would see that it's something that has happened since the original iPhone. Better that than to do irreparable damage to the components.

iPhone 4 Temperature Message- Yes, another thread
So I searched various threads about this on the forum, but every one seemed to have legitimate reasons as to why there iPhone showed the "Temperature" message. Such as they left it in there car or put it under a lamp, whatever.
However, mine has no reason.
I took a trip today to a park but about a half hour away from my house. The AC was blasting and it was very cool in the car. My iPhone stayed in my pocket the entire time.
After awhile I checked my phone and I saw that the temperature message popped up on my screen saying it needed to cool down. My phone was not hot at all. It was never sitting in the sun, and it was in a air conditioned car. I started checking different parts of the phone to see if I could feel any heat but there was none; the phone was completely cool. The message would not go away until I restarted my phone.
Anyways, has anyone else experienced this? Is this just a glitch with the phone or maybe iOS 4?

Maybe it got hot at some point in time when it was in your pocket. Perhaps when it was still hot in your car before the ac started to cool it down? And when you pulled it out and noticed the message it was already cooled down. But as you said it won't go away until you restart
A few mins is all it takes to get the temp up high enough for it to warn you, and it being in your pocket where it can't cool down just adds to it.

If it did, it must have happened in mere seconds because I was on the phone right before I got in my car and no message showed up. And it was a call that lasted about 2 minutes, plus I was coming out of a air conditioned house...
So I really don't know.
Steve Jobs addressed this issue earlier stating " Just carry it around in an ice pack .... simple." Apple is a joke with all these issues. FTL
You're still here?
Not only do you use the lame, old FTL, you don't even know what you're talking about. There are ALWAYS reports of problems after new products are introduced. Without valid statistics, no one can say either way whether they're widespread or not. All that matters is what your phone is like, and mine is perfect.
My wife get's her 3g to say that all the time by leaving it in the car all day on her dashboard in the sun (temps getting to 96 some days)
IP4 Overheating Issue !!!! (Screenshot Error Msg)
Well I'm about twenty-four hours in to owning an IP4 and LOVE IT. I'm just a little concerned because I received an error message today regarding the IP4s internal temp. I received the message while the phone was idle with a few apps running in the background, nothing RAM intensive, no music or GPS apps. The phone was in an air conditioned room in a BB rubber sleeve and had been in use most of the day with about 50% battery life left.
I've read this has been an issue with previous generation hardware and can be a random one time event or can occur chronically.
Thoughts?
