M1 barely touchable, very hot.
Dear All I'm using my M1 without battery, with Wi-Fi on (2.4+5.0GHz) and six mobile devices connected, and it is always overheating. So high that is barely touchable, especially on the back side ...
To add some information, the location is a shipping port in southern Italy where the LTE signal is not very good. Unfortunately, there is no other internet connectivity available. It is possible that the 4G module is under pressure and working too hard to capture the signal. This could be causing the temperature raise. I apologize for any technical inaccuracies in my explanation. I am not an expert in this field.
mobile provider : KLIK (www.klik.network), SIM with a capacity of 500 GB per month

Forgot to mention once it get hot remove the battery and let it run either with power adapter or external battery through the charging port. It is best just let it open without the battery cover and put the fan underneath to cool it down. All my MR1100 aka M1 they all run without battery and cover and has the fan underneath,
BTW its the same thing your phone can get hot when it struggle for signal or the cpu/processor running intensively
