My fully charged MyTouch 3G Slide died after 8 hours of not touching it!

There's a 1 year warranty on all HTC phones. Calling support will usually let you swap -- if they can't swap they'll repair it for free.
 
no such luck on either account. i was told there is a known overheating problem, but it is covered under warranty. also they said they would repair it for $100, which is $30 cheaper than asurion. but i got the phone for free from tmobile, after having 6 tmo dash'es in a 5 month period. so im sol. but it still works ok, so what the hell?!
 
If you approach from the point of view that it has a DANGEROUS fault that causes the phone to heat up to the point that it MELTS AND BURNS PLASTIC and discolours the screen, and it's still under warranty, I'm sure they'll replace it for free, before you sue the bollocks off them for their equipment, through no fault of your own, injuring you.

Just say to the operator... "Look, it was in my POCKET and SMOKE started coming out of the damn thing... I assume this was poisonous given the warning labels on the battery and phone about safe disposal and not disposing of them in fire and the Lithium content in the battery... I had to pull my pants off in the middle of the street."
 
might have to pull my pants off after reading that cuz i jus crapped em. ill try again cant hurt and i havent had it a year yet so.....we will see. i wanna root so bad but im scared to root as it is, and then with probs i have with it. ah well ill be calling them again come monday
 
allright. called them, and they said it is a known issue with battery overheating. some of them apparently have even exploded or caught fire! so they said i can either get a new g1 OR they will send me a $100 voucher good for a discount on ANY new HTC handset. so i think u know what i opted for. glad i listened to u guys!
