Hi, it could be that when you turn the data on the phone is looking to sync your phone, which is causing it to over heat? does this happen when you connect the phone to WiFi?

Is this a newly developed problem? How long have you had the device?

How often do you keep it off? Like mentioned above, it could just be backing up data to google servers or several other things backing up...

How is your service? Poor service can result in heavy battery life and a warm phone having to struggle to find and keep service.
