iPhone 3GS getting very warm under normal use, after 3.1.3 OS update

I updated my iPhone 3GS to 3.1.3 when it was released the other day. Since then battery life has been rubbish, sometimes losing 15% or more overnight, and the phone gets very warm whilst charging. It never got warm before the 3.1.3 update.

I've switched it off and back on again but no change.

Would a full restore to 3.1.3 help, or is this indicative of a wider problem with the update?

Mac Pro 8x2.8GHz, Mac OS X (10.6.2), 10GB RAM, 3TB, 8800GT, iPhone 3GS 32GB OS 3.1.3

For what it's worth, I'm seeing the same behavior.

No its nothing to do with the update IMO but if you search the forum you'll see a large and very uninformative thread about battery problems, a few lines from where both of you posted.

Opinion is divided on the subject - millions of happy users who don't bother posting that they are happy, and a small number who insist 3.1.3 is the cause of all ills.

Draw you own conclusions 😉
