does anyone have same issue iphone 4 like i ?

Answering the thread title, your iPhone showed the message since it heated up and needed to cool down for safety.
 
And because it was probably warm in your car... Or even if not did you have your phone somewhere near the front windshield? If the sun was shining on the phone it gets hot really fast as the iPhone is black.
If you have a white iPhone nothin comes to my mind except that skype uses a lot of processing power so the phone gets really hot.
 
It happens. Doing things that are processor heavy if you're in a warm environment tend to make this happen. It happens to me when I try to use my iPhone for Navigon with a windshield mount in the summer.
 
all is correct

i put my phone holding around windshield because i dont have a dashboard holder i just put by my design standing it

so , if i purchase dashboard holder for iphone hanging during drive will it starting hot like that ?

thanks
 
When I use my iPhone as a sat nav I have a vent blowing on the back just to try and keep the phone cool, sat nav app, charging and sunlight really heat things up!

Even if you were the first person to make fun of iphonetoday, it still wouldn't be funny. If you look at their 208 posts you'll see that most of them are international topics. I noticed that two of your five posts are to make fun of people. So... I'm making a huge assumption about iphonetoday but I ask you to submit samples of your second or third written language and we'll get a grammar score from a national. And I'm willing to concede that being in the UK you may have good multiple language skills that you haven't demonstrated, but if you do then you understand the effort to master a written language.
 
While outside in the winter in NH, I've had my iPhone 4 tell me it was "too hot and needed to cool down" when it was -20 F outside.

The iPhone senses temperatures and displays a "too hot" message when it exceeds set temperatures.

This is one of the downfalls of using metal and glass. But nobody here will tell you that as they all praise the build of the iphone. So many negatives to using glass and metal, when it comes to small portable devices that are getting used more and more intensively. Then you add the external elements and your asking for trouble. Metal is overkill for devices that people don't keep for more than 3-5 yrs max.
 
My iPhone 4 has become burning hot, especially outside in the sun but I've actually never seen the message pop up!
