So i spent the day today at disneyland with my shiny amazing iPhone 4, and of course i used it pleanty to take videos/pictures, text my friends, play games when in line and browse the internet.

turns out, i was using it a bit TOO much during my day because while i was screwing around, all of a sudden my phone LOCKED BACK TO SLIDE TO EMERGENCY and said on the screen: iPHONE OVERHEATED, MUST COOL DOWN BEFORE USE, and the screen dimmed and would not go back to normal. I had to manually do a hard reset to get the phone out of locked, and after the boot it was back to normal

ive had an iphone 2G/3G/3GS in the past and have NEVER seen this screen before so just be careful that this may happen to you so dont let it catch you off guard like it did me, i cant believe the phone actually locked itself back to the slide for emergency screen just because i kind of overheated the phone from excessive use.

wish i took pictures though

A4 chip baby!

LMAO!! Put it in the freezer to cool it off LOLZ

It does that for a reason, so you don't do any damage. Reboot shouldn't be needed as it should let you back in when its cooled down sufficiently

Im wondering if doing that can crack the glass, you know when you transition cold to hot or vice versa it tends to break. Thats been on my mind ever since i found out about the 2 glass parts.
