Nokia Lumia 920 gets hot, drains battery extremely quick.

[Tmaxx]

As with the title, I have a nokia lumia 920 and recently it started getting hot and draining battery for no reason. Even after shutting it down and letting it sit overnight, it instantly starts to heat up when I turn it on. When it does this, the battery drain goes from ~3%/hour, which is normal, to about 15-20%/hour, which is not normal. It does this while charging as well, which causes it to take bloody forever to charge. even sitting charging all night from dead flat, it still isn't charged fully when i wake up ~9-10 hours later.

Help?

Have you tried replacing your battery? :v:

It sounds kinda dangerous, your phone getting hot AND the battery draining massively sounds like a huge problem. Lithium Ion batteries get pretty, uh, explosive, when they become damaged, suffer from a defect or become too old.

I've actually done some research since posting this, and found that [I]it's a common problem.[/I]
It's the result of a hung program causing the phone to shit the bed. This is terrible because microsoft, being the casualized pole shiners they are, don't give you a task manager to see and kill background tasks.

This happens with Android phones too, there must be a task manager out there that can help.

I'm guessing it's just natural with lithium, could that be it? the symptoms to an exploding battery?

be very very careful and watchful

A common thing for LiIon batteries is that they tend to get very hot when in use. They can also get very hot if theyre in use and also being charged. I have sen my cellphones reach over 110degrees (brand new) when they where under heavy load and charging at the same time. I havent seen one pop, but i hope they dont
