Welcome to Android Central! That's often a sign of a failing battery. Try a new battery. You can confirm problems with your current battery by removing it, placing it flat on a table, and trying to spin it. If it spins freely, it's bulging in the middle, which confirms failure. But it's still worth trying a new battery even if it doesn't spin.

That's never a good sign. Either your charger is deffective or your battery is no bueno. First try using a different charger, and if it doesn't work, take the phone back to either get a warranty replacement or have it fixed. HOT BATTERIES ARE DANGEROUS! Fire hazard.

It can also mean that something in the charging circuit of your phone is wrong and is causing a short inside. This, of course, is a fire hazard as well.

Paranoid much? a phone wont kill you at the worst it leaks and breaks the phone.

Someone has been killed while charging a phone. Granted they were using a third party charger.

Yea probably but that wasn,t a charger but some paper clip put in the socket and cable attached to it as the person lost the usb to wall thing to she used paper clips.

Never said it would kill you ;) But it is still a fire hazard, and the resulting fire if something else fuels it CAN. Let's play "Final Destination" here, shall we? You leave your faulty-phone charging on your night stand. It starts to heat up. You don't notice because you're asleep. Then it starts to shoot sparks because of the molten soldering iron causing shorts all over the place. The sparks ignite your bed sheets and the curtains on your window. By the time the phone finally explodes with that loud bang, you wake up with a fire all around you. Plus, the glass shattering from the battery bursting caused flying debris to cut into your skin. A second burst just as you wake up sends a flying shard right into your eye.

Gruesome enough? It's not paranoia, it's plain, common sense.

I disagree they cant :) the s3 was burned or something.

This can trigger what is known as a “thermal runaway” in which the battery overheats and can burst into flame. From : http://www.economist.com/blogs/economist-explains/2014/01/economist-explains-19

lithium ion battery fires not only burn extremely hot (up to 1000 degrees fahrenheit), but can explode, sending chunks of burning metal across the room. From: http://www.techlicious.com/blog/the-risk-of-exploding-lithium-ion-batteries/

There's a difference between being paranoid and being careful. Various laptops have also had issues with batteries overheating and melting or catching fire. If the phone's battery is severely overheating on a persistent basis, why take the risk? The battery is probably failing anyway. Get a new battery.
