If I leave it plugged in for a time the phone gets really hot the the red notification light blinks. Is it telling me it's overheating or what?

Well I've installed battery guru from snapdragon. It seems to stay charged a bit longer if I auto dim the screen. But it only lasts 5-6 hours with moderate use before I have to charge. I'll look for an app that checks the battery.

I had this exact issue and was scratching head trying to figure out what my phone was trying to tell me.
I was on a road trip with my phone charging while using Google Maps for navigation. I noticed the battery was actually draining instead of charging. I reseated the cable on both ends. The notification light would light up red (as per usual when it's charging) but would turn off a minute later. Eventually, it started blinking red.
Once I touched the back of my phone, I figured it out: the phone is mounted on a phone holder attached to the windshield. It was a pretty sunny day and I had air blowing out the face level vents. The phone was overheating and was essentially begging for reprieve. I point the ventilation to the windshield instead. Problem solved!
