[deleted post]2 hours battery and heat at the back… what are you doing with it? Playing 3D games?
In that case heat and short (although not really THAT short) battery life would be expected.
But if you're doing something, that's not normal.

You said you did Factory reset. How did you do that?
It is possible to downgrade… posted today in the morning I think, with fastboot.
