Nexus 4 Getting Hot

[I Can Be Your Hero]

Mine heats up a lot only on specific apps. Navigation (as others have mentioned) heat it up a lot, and I notice the battery getting hammered by it. Also some games like Where's My Water seem to heat it up a lot too.

Not sure if it's normal for the Nexus 4. Though no other phone I've had heats up that much with navigation.

I've requested a replacement now; didn't realise they hold another ?288 from your credit card until it's despatched and they have the faulty one back. I've requested at least a refund of my shipping charge - double cheek as it took 5 weeks to get the phone anyhow.
It behaved ok over the weekend, but today in sleep mode, the CPU went to 51 C and the CPU activity monitor went mental. Battery life drained from 45% to 4% in 2 hours, when phone wasn't even in use.
The jinx continues. I'm wondering if I should even bother to wait another 4 weeks for a replacement or should just get a different phone. I really like the nexus, but this is nuts

Just did a search for this topic, and found this thread and will add my story. I got my N4 when the first batches started going out, so hope it's not too late. Last week, as I was riding the train home (NYC) just listening to music via "Play Music" app, and with nothing else running in the background except for mail and the messaging app, I went to change a song, so reached in my jacket pocket and felt the phone was burning hot.. not just normal warm. To be honest, at all other times, the phone is usually very cool to the touch, regardless of how many things are open in the background.

I shut it down before checking resources or anything, out of fear I guess. Reboot after it cooled down, and it was fine. That was about 5 days ago or so. Move to today, and it is 12:52pm. I picked up my phone for the first time today about half an hour ago, brought it to my desk and set it down. It was not hot. Got an alert that battery life was low and to plug it it. Went and got the charger, picked it up and bam.. burning hot again?! WiFi was on, but nothing else was running in the background.

Aside from the burning, navigation was sluggish, gestures were unresponsive etc.. Not cool. Battery usage didn't show anything unusual from what I could see.. Dolphin Browser was responsible for 23% of usage, then the screen about 20%. This was not happening before the update to 4.2.2 ,and so I wonder if that's what is causing this? For my phone, anyway?

Edit: By the way, running stock all the way.
