Battery life: Maybe really a hardware issue?

However, when it is plugged into the charger and charged to 95 - 100% even in deep sleep, the modem can be quite warm.

((That is the upper portion of the phone,  NOT the battery (lower

I made similar observations. Randomly my PP discharges abnormally overnight, even when powered off, and I did notice the warmness on the upper side. For note my front camera is always switch off.

So far I attributed naively abnormal discharges when on to softwares upgrades (and potential regressions, time to time) as it seems to be very random and I update quite regularly (PP PMOS with mobian bookworm here). This thread is very interesting. I have not been very meticulous and did not keep any precise record of the battery status / context so far, but I'll investigate it.

I am not especially blaming the design, though I did not had any accident and have been very careful with my PP. Could it be anything, I am just curious of the reason (and how to fix it).

I'll try to do some more formal tests over the weekend (I die without music, I need my PP fully charged in the morning)

@Zebulon Walton : do you have any gist or so for the test script you wrote ?
