[QUOTE="rsm54, post: 1632732, member: 341182"] Yes, I had this problem yesterday while trying to use my iPhone during a winter weather-related emergency, when stranded in -2 degree temps in my car for about 1-1/2 hours. I was able to use the phone long enough to call for assistance, but shortly after that, I heard the phone beep, and noticed it displaying the temperature warning with the red thermometer icon, "iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it." Very ironic, given the circumstances. The phone was useless at that point, although it didn't appear to fully shutdown, since the wallpaper with the date and time were still visible. Later on, once I was able to warm it up, it started working again. The phone hadn't lost any of its charge. It doesn't give me much comfort to know my iPhone could fail at a time I might need it most. I'll be bringing it in to my service provider this weekend for an evaluation. [/QUOTE]
