You mean it's turning itself on or it's rebooting on its own?

If I keep using it for like 30 minutes (hard use) it reboot... How can I do a factory reset? Maybe that fix it...
PS: I notice when reboot it get really hot! I don't know if that is part of the problem..

You said your phone shuts off after hard use, and you said it is really hot when it shuts down. This sounds like a hardware problem. When the processor gets too hot, the device kills power to protect it from frying. Almost every computer has a similar last-resort power-off feature to protect its hardware.
Now the real question: What is making the device overheat? Most likely this is a hardware problem, but there is a remote possibility that the problem could be a rouge app.
A factory reset will remove the apps you installed. If there is an app running an infinite loop in the background, a factory reset might fix the problem. (I remember you said you are running stock without root, so there are no firmware issues. The only possible software issues are with your apps.)
I am sorry to say that you might have a defective board.

But why start doing that after a month of using it? The only new I did was using the maps app for more than 4hours... A friend toll me to clear cache on map apps...

If the problem really is hardware, it was a defect that made it past quality control. It's the same reason why a new hard drive might fail after a week of usage--infant mortality. Infant mortality is quite rare, but it does happen nevertheless.
Fortunately, Google's replacement procedure is quite nice compared to most other companies. If Google sends you a replacement, you can keep your existing phone until the replacement arrives. This way, you are not left without a phone temporarily.

Update! Did a factory reset and root it and it's good now! Looks like an app was causing the rebooting... Thanks for the help!

[Q] Some questions to the Nexus 4

I want to buy a Nexus 4 but before I do this I have some questions to the phone
When you have a bootloop after you flash a ROM what must you do ? Cause the phone has an internal battery.
How long will it take if I order the phone by Google ?
Has it any bugs ?

1. Hold power button for 10 seconds
2. It's sold out in the U.S. Assuming it's in stock in your country, 4 days if you're lucky, 2 months if you're really unlucky.
3. Yes it does. Every code does. But you can assume better user experience that most other smartphones.

I have said it in other threads, I have no heating issues here. When I play CPU/GPU intensive games it certainly gets warmer but nothing outrageous or worse than other phones I have had and it doesn't get uncomfortable to touch. I certainly don't need to power it off for it to cool down, that sounds worrying to me.

Then I think I have to contact the service centre...
And should go fr a replacement. ...

If I were u I would certainly get a replacement which I did and my second s4 is fine even wheni play intensive games it does not get hot like my previous s4 use 2 do

Mine gets warm when playing games or GPS but never hot hot hot
If you are at home screen and its hot makes sure GPS is off and go into task manager to make sure nothing is running in background!!!

Rootchecker and returning to stock

Hey guys I'm on an AT&T D800... since Monday afternoon my phone had been unusable... it got extremely hot both front and back near the mid to top of the phone... and was just chewing through battery 31% in 15 minutes... so I powered down and left it numerous times on different stock based rooms and still no luck it would just overheat till it shutdown or battery died if I didn't turn it off... I managed to get it charged enough to restore my stock backup, unroot, and put the stock recovery back on and then did 2 factory resets with still no change... so I called at&t and they sent out a warranty replacement which will be here tomorrow.. so my question is do any of these return to stock methods actually clear rootchecker? That's my only worry that they'll see that and nail me the retail price of the phone... I didn't use a custom kernel just the roms...
I see conflicting stories from people saying yes it does it clear rootchecker and others saying no.. I would just try but I don't have WiFi so I don't burn up my months data just to find out it didn't work.
The phone seems to be working fine since I powered it up 2 hours ago but I'm worried about any residual/repeat issues or decreased lifespan of phone from the overheating issues
Thanks in advance!

Flashing a Stock .kdz works completely. Perhaps you should read this sticky: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476

Thanks I've read that one before but I've also read other threads that say it still shows rooted when booted into download mode even after doing this reflashing

Not a problem here...

Did you check to see why the battery was being depleted so fast? I am willing to bet the phone itself was fine, but some app was utilizing the entire CPU, which would heat the phone up and kill the battery quickly.
Which means it's entirely possible you'll have that issue with the new one as well.

Yeah but after 2 factory reset there were only unused factory installed apps

The rom restores I can see that holding true but after 2 complete resets and not adding any apps... not even setting up any Google services I don't know what it would be

Try to change your battery and see whether it's still overheats.

I wanted to do that really, but i wanted someone else to tell me so i would not be a wierdo, you really think that would work?

I have 2 batteries. One gave me overheats, even though the battery itself is not bulged.
One totally no issues at all.
Same phone, same ROM, same setup, same etc.
You can give it a try. But then again, I might be wrong.
Technical issues can arises from a lot of factors anyway.

I will try, thank you so much for your reply

Try the old modem, the one you didn't have any issues. Otherwise it's samsung's crappy update.

Can i go back to that modem?? No risk?? I changed the csc, changed the sim, changed the carrier, changed 3 batteries... still blowing fire, 80c om the cpu... many times when i use my data plan
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app

The only risk is signal issues.

So because of the modem i have the heating problems??

It may also the update.

What?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app

I may also be related to the lollipop update. Since you did mention that it didn't happen on kitkat. It only started happening since moving to lollipop. So it may also be the update. Go back to kitkat or change to a custom rom and see if it helps.

I tried all, just all custom roms with lolli
