my LG3 battery is draining and phone is hot

My LG3 phone has recently started draining too fast, even when not being used.  It has also been heating up, while sitting and with use.  All updates  have been installed and have deleted an app that was recently downloaded (a baseball app) to see if that would help.  It did not help.  I charged the phone to 100%, did not use, picked it up at least 3-4 hours and the phone was dead.  Any help is appreciated.  The phone is only about a year and a half years old and is very well cared for.

Let's get to the bottom of this battery mystery. Did you do any recent software updates?

YYes, at the beginning of April.  I have reset settings, cleared out browser cookies, cache, etc.  Removed battery and reinserted.  Still continues to run hot.

I know how concerning having a battery issue is. We want your phone to run smoothly. When did this issue begin? Any recent app download or software update?

BethyB123,


Thanks for sharing those additional details. Updates are meant to improve a devices performance and we definitely want to make sure it does just that. What steps did you take to reset the device? Was it reset to factory settings seen here http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-112585/? If so, then there may be an underlying hardware issue and the device may need to be replaced if still within warranty. To replace the device through warranty you can reach out to our Technical Support by dialing 800-922-0204.

MCMILLCLAN,


Oh no! We want nothing more for you to be able to have a reliable battery. Let’s work together to get to the bottom of the battery drainage & also the phone getting hot. We don’t want for you to injure yourself. How long ago did you do the software update? Do you notice the phone getting hot when you do something in particular on the phone? Do you get a heat warning message at all?

Mine has the same problem. I had to install a battery saver app and phone cooler. It really does help.
