I reached over to check my phone a bit ago and quickly recoiled my hand as my device was crazy hot. Anyone else had anything like this right off the bat?

That's almost 120 degrees... Device has been at 100% for approximately 5 hrs.

I charged mine overnight and it was not warm/hot.
I didn't use the included charger. In my bedroom I have an old charger that is not a quick charger, so maybe that was the difference.

That doesn't seem normal.

I leave mine plugged in all night with a case on (which traps heat) and mine was cool this morning.

That was just the battery temp. The outer shell was barely able to be handled. It was like touching a pot shortly after cooking. It quickly cooled down after unplugging it.

It probably wasn't the battery but the phone was on and an app was cranking up the CPU constantly making the device hot (which would have also raised the battery temperature), and as it was plugged in to mains the phone never went to sleep and the app just keep the CPU ramped all night long. It doesn't take much constant polling of the CPU to cause the temperature to raise when that goes on for hours.

Have you got the app list of what was running while it was on charge ? Had mine in my quick charger 3.0 unit and no heat and it was in a silicone case, have you tried another charger ?
