Does the MR1100 Nighthawk log errors that record that it has overheated at some time?

While it's good that the mr1100 now tells you why it is not charging -- due to battery/device over temp. Both in words and with a spiffy new icon (see attached).
But, it doesn't change the fact that the unit is way too temperature sensitive. The otherday I went to charge my device after only an hour or so normal usage. The mr1100 was slighlty warm in my hand from usage on a mild summers day (in the shade). And it refused to charge.
I had to turn the unit off, remove the back cover, and let it sit open for 30min or so to get it to accept a charge. Of course then, when I plugged in the power to charge the unit annoyingly turns on. So then I had to wait for it to boot, then shut it down, all because the safety temp thresholds are way to low (or sensors are not properly calibrated).

One of the failings of the MR1100 is that it provides no user-accessible logging at all.
