I just bought this phone 2 days ago. I noticed that once when I left the phone on idle on the sofa and came back an hour later it was warm to touch on the back. Not hot, just warm. That should not happen since nothing was running in the background, I had no missed calls. Nothing. The phone warming up like that without cause is concerning for me.

Next thing, I got my phone charged to full later that night and took it off the charger at around 11pm. I went sleep. At 6:10AM oddly my battery has drained away down to 4%!!! and the back of the phone has warmed up again. Again no apps running, nothing happening in the background.

I am using custom apps like Nova launcher, Poweramp, Cameringo, I have no battery management apps, cleaner apps, or anything really that tries to fiddle with the phones performance. Should I call in a replacement? and do these phones heat up hot when you set them down to charge through the provided wall charger?

I also just checked the battery app stats and its graph too clearly showed that it was 100% at 11pm and down to nearly 0% right in the middle between 3am and 9am, meaning 6am as I was speaking off. The two big battery hogs it says are twitter and a app I dont recall- "Media server". What is that media server? also my phone was not connected to wifi during the whole time of this issue.
