Help..Battery discharging rapidly and hot

TP2 started rebooting on its own several times, hot, and draining battery and dead within 3hrs.

Tried to clear storage with cooked rom....no help, still hot and draining fast.
Flashed to sprint stock 6.5 rom....no help, still hot and draining fast.

I have tried multiple batteries it just kills them.

Anybody have any idea?

If you have flashed the shipped rom and with normal use your device gets hot and the battery dies very quickly then I would say you either have a bad battery or you have some other hardware problem with your device.

Yes, that is sad. If it is rebooting several times and getting hot, it sounds like there is a hardware issue. :'(

That's what I suspected too. Sprint tech agreed to replace under warranty. Should be a new phone this time, this will be the third phone to break(usually the digitizer) in 1.5 yrs. Thanks.
