So I've had a problem with my battery life and over heating for about 2-3 months now. Not sure what exactly caused it, but I do know that the fixes I've tried were these: Bought a new battery, and it didn't fix anything. Then I did a factory reset, and the new battery still drains as fast as the old one. After the factory reset I left the phone with only Facebook and Instagram on it + the defaults and the battery was draining just as fast. The over heating issue is the worst when the phone is connected to a charger, if I use it while charging it, it's impossible to hold it for more than 10min. Normally it's holdable but I still doubt it's supposed to heat the way it does. All I know is that when I got the phone back in September, I could leave LTE turned on and when I put the phone away and it went into stand by mode, if I left it at 70% battery, it stayed on 70% for an hour. If I do the same now, it'll drain 15-20% within that hour. Are there any other possible fixes for this or is it time for a new phone? The battery as of right now make it useless.
