I'm curious about your "runs cool" comment. Have you tested while charging on 35w and watching a movie?

Have you tried it in direct sunlight while charging? Does it overheat while using Bluetooth and WiFi with the screen off and charging?

Does the phone auto shut down due to heat for any reason?

Edith- truly not trying to be nasty. I want to believe... just have my doubts and this P6P needs to be gone like yesterday.

I'm coming from a P6 Pro and it's definitely a lot better, but not gone. I was browsing the web on Firefox for like an hour on a drive, and running kinestop to prevent car sickness. I also had poor cell signal (mountains). My P8 Pro did end up thermal throttling and I wasn't even charging. Had to take the case off to cool it.

I can, however, charge while running Android Auto which is not something I could do with the P6 Pro

Thanks, still sounds like a shit show. Think I'll keep my eye out for other phones that don't have these issues.
