Hey guys,

I was wondering if any has the same issue as me. My battery gets really hot when using 3G, H+, H (Whatsoever they want to call this 4G), but when I do the exactly same tasks and same things on WIFi, the temperature drops considerable, it even does not get warm at all. H+ signal displaying is of 4 bars, so it is not a problem of lacking signal strength.

If someone can help me I would really appreciate it.

Mobile data (3g) uses more power because the signal needs to travel way farther. More power = more heat, especially when you're constantly transmitting like a long download or something.

Yes, I know there is more enegery consumption while using 3G, but this happens also when i do not transfer any kind of data.
