I updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 (Sprint) from Android 4.1.2 to 4.3 the other day via USB cable and Samsung's KIES software, and it first everything seemed fine. The phone seemed to respond faster and so I was happy with the update. However, in the past 24 hours or so, I've noticed some major battery / charging issues.
First, last night, I charged the phone up fully while watching TV around 8ish, and by 10 or 11 it was almost dead again (and I hadn't really been doing anything on it during that timeframe). Then, overnight, I had it plugged in to charge, and when I woke this morning it was EXTREMELY hot (the battery I assume) and had a message stating "Charging paused - battery temperature too high" although it seemed to be almost fully charged. I turned it on to airplane mode, left it unplugged, and went back to sleep for a little while longer, and when I woke again it was much cooler and the battery had hardly drained. Now, I just turned it off airplane mode and it's getting slightly hot (although nothing near how hot it was earlier) and the battery seems to be dropping at a much more rapid rate - from 93% to 90% in the past few minutes.
Anyone have any ideas?? Do I maybe need a new battery? Just an FYI - I'm not using the USB charger that came with the phone - I've been using others - could that make a difference?
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
