Does it actually feel hot? If not your temp sensor might be faulty.

I'm wondering if it is more of a battery or battery charging problem or both?

@jayeff the reason I'm suspecting the temp sensor is because I had similar issues with a Motorola Turbo. Turns out when I replaced the battery, I accidentally damaged the ribbon cable to the temp sensor. I replaced it and it worked and charged fine after that.

@brandon_k

Fair enough but the OP never mentioned a battery replacement but did mention that it wasn't charging

Cheers

@jayeff that is very true. The symptoms are just familiar. Maybe the temp sensor is malfunctioning? Just something for OP to consider since it's acting like that. Would love for them to reply and tell us more, like if it is feeling warm or not.
