Making a phone call kills the battery? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Ok so I got a replacement for TyTN but now if I call anyone or anyone calls me and I talk for even a couple minutes the phone battery will get really hot and will die in under 3 hours being at 100% before the call...
The only fix is a hard reset and taking the battery out for a few minutes and then the phone will run cool as usual but the second a call is made bam! does the same thing again...
Is there a fix for this?
Or does anyone know what would cause it?? I have had it happen on different radios so the blame can't be there.
Or is it a hardware issue that I need another replacement for??

hermes's get hot. Thats a fact. they just shouldn't get too hot (4-5 hours of use, while charging, wifi on and so on...) because the heat could be transfered to the digitzer near the processor and if that happens the digitizer could become unresponsive (touchscreen->lookscreen^^)...
MY hermes is getting hot all day, if it gets too hot, I take an old cooler from a cpu, open the battery door and lie it on it ;-)

Make sure you are using a 1A charger. This was a huge headache for me when I had my Wizard, the dude sold me it with a RAZR 750mAh charger and it caused me to buy 5 new batteries until I figured this small fact out!

Dock and the whole time charging..

hey folks,
it's that never ending question i guess
i buyed that nice KIDIGI Dock for my dhd..it looks so pretty in it..and with the "Desk Clock" it adds a nice look to my desk.
so my question is, if its really that bad to keep it in there all the time. what about trickle charging? does usb support this?
i dont wanna damage my battery..
btw: when i get home, my battery is normally about 60% charged..if i put it in the dock whenever its on 60% it shouldnt damage it right? the memory effect can't happen on li-ion batterys compared to ni-cd ones i guess...
any tips?
how do you handle it?

ah btw: if you wanna have some pictures of the dhd in the dock, it's a pleasure to share them with you!
Li-ion battery does not have memory. They have a limited life time. Normally around 2 years. Whether you charge it or not, does not make a difference.
You can go read the boring details on Wikipedia.
ok thanks...so i think i'm gonna have that great look all the time
btw: this is it

Even crazier battery usage graphs

I'm on the pre-rooted EH06 leak still, and I bought a wall battery charger and 3 cheap aftermarket batteries, a small part came off the bottom on the stock battery so I have been on nothing but the cheap batteries and since this has started recently I've only noticed it happening with 2 of the 3 batteries. But it's every time with the 2 that do this, every day I have one of those in it does it. What I'm wondering is should I just buy a few samsung brand stock batteries or just odin EH17? (or in other words, is it cheap chinese battery related or rom related?)
This one is what it's been doing lately, sometimes it's at 60% (approx) and when I boot it back up it still says 60%, but then a couple minutes later it beeps low battery then gives me the shutdown sounds at which point my blood pressure skyrockets.

And this is the part that came off my stock battery, I had stopped using it out of paranoia but as a test I've started using it again to see if it does it with the stocker:
Yup, I've seen the same on many iterations for the various GB rom's. Pretty annoying. Went back to EC05 last night because of it.
never had the problem on any build... i always use the stock battery that came with my phone.

What am I doing wrong?

Hey guys, I posted here yesterday because my nexus 4 is stuck charging in USB mode which is really really slow, but I finally got it fully charged overnight. Since I have no way to quickly charge it I decided to see how much I could squeeze out of a charge. This is only the second time that the battery has been fully charged and I did everything I could think of to conserve battery: mobile data off, 2g network only, wifi off, sync off, lowest screen brightness, all GPS and location settings off, Google+ disabled, and using the phone very minimally. Other than sending less than 100 texts the phone was just hanging out in my pocket and this is how long the battery lasted.

Pretty atrocious. Anybody have any tips? I am thinking that since the phone is stuck in USB charging that could have something to do with it and maybe I just have a faulty device. I already contacted Google about an rma for the USB issue and I have a new phone on its way, but god knows when it will arrive. Thanks for any help!

Sounds like getting a new one was a good idea. In the meantime it will make a great paperweight.

[Q] Nexus froze during long call - would not boot again

Loving the Nexus 4 (stock JOP40D + root) although I'm having some issues with the phone sometimes rebooting randomly (1-2 times a day)
and today it turned itself off during a long call (after about 45 mins) and would not boot again.
I pressed all combinations of buttons, plugged into the charger and it would not turn on.
Left it aside for a few mins, pressed power+vol and it booted normally as if nothing happened.
I then went to check the battery settings, and noticed a strange gap (screenshot) like the ones I was getting on my S2 after this kind of reboot.
Any ideas of what could have caused this?

Thanks. Could that really be the case though? It didn't feel hot in my hand
I'd RMA it. I'm getting an RMA device for a "faulty battery". Many Nexi have shipped with dud batteries. Not sure if that's your particular issue, but call Google.

Really bad battery life? Help

So I've been experiencing some very bad battery life ever since i got this phone. I get between 5-7 hours of battery life with an average of 3 hours of on screen time. I do use a lot of Spotify, Bluetooth and Instagram. Instagram makes my phone feel hot quickly. Like its using a lot of CPU. I've also noticed i got a few wakelocks. Any help? Anyone got any tips? I don't feel like deleting Instagram neither lol

I also have Instagram Greenified. If i didn't manually close Instagram before shutting the screen off, it would keep running in the background and keep my phone hot.
This might sound stupid, but it worked for me before, but have you tried just restarting the phone? One time I was getting terrible battery life over several battery cycles and doesn't know how to get rid of the wakelock so I restarted my phone and next cycles were a lot better. It might just be a "band-aid" for the real problem, but it might help some.
