Battery drain during any kind of chatting...

[thaman04]

Hey all... I've noticed that whenever I'm chatting with someone with ANYTHING on WP8 (i.e. SMS, Messenger/Skype, Whatsapp, Lync, etc.), my phone gets really hot and the battery drains rapidly within minutes. Whereas when I don't chat with anyone, the battery lasts more than a day.

Does anyone else experienced this? I think this is a WP8 issue not a Nokia issue, I really hope they fix this. I love this phone, but it sucks when I can barely get a full chat convo on this.

(Lumia 920 here)

I've got a 920, and I don't think it get's hotter while texting than while doing any other task. I haven't noticed any significant battery drain while texting either. (Texting = Sending messages over any messaging/IM-network)

With my 8X it tends to get really hot with prolonged use with WiFi on or games. Other than that, pretty good. AND sometimes I'll be running music for a very long time. This doesn't tend to happen to much when the screen is shut off though, but eh that's wtvr.
