Phone over heating. Battery not holding charge.

This is the second time I have had this issue with this phone. It has began to get hot when I charge it, and as quickly as the charge is completed it is drained. The battery life is lasting literally 5-10 minutes.  I am on my second of this phone in not even a year. I am becoming real frustrated with this phone. I am not due for an upgrade until January and I know if I take it in I will more than likely have to replace it and pay for it. Which I am not willing to do.  Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

barbim,

This is crazy. Is there any kind of physical or liquid damage on the phone? Are you using the charger that came with the phone? Have you tried a different charger? Would love to get to the bottom of this for you ASAP.

I know how to reboot the phone tried that, also I have gone into settings and made sure to mount and unmount SD card from the SD card and phone storage setting Nothing is working I also tried using my husbands Working card from his phone just to test it and still Nothing when I go to camera it says please insert sd card UGGGGGGG So frustrated at this point I went to file a claim to replace my phone ( Yeah 99.00 for a deductible) NO THANK YOU I know all about the moisture question did it get dropped in water or has it gotten wet in any way No it hasnt, But I knew enough to look at the little sticker you put in back to tell if it has and when I got the phone New the sticker was covered in little xxxxxxxx's but i chose to keep the phone anyways cause it used to work just perfect and had no problems with it but now I have 6 months left in my contract and my phone is turned on me I have no idea what to do at this point the screen keeps going black and says No Data Storage on Phone so I have to keep turning it off and back on again I am So sick of this phone I wouldnt recommend it to anyone ~
