My IPhone 4S is overheating and the battery is going down. Went to the apple store and they identified a springboard crash, Reloaded the phone and the same happens, Started to remove applications that were always on the phone but the same happens. Seems like this is new to the 6.1.2 software upgrade. Any ideas.
iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.2
Restore the phone as New; do not restore the backup. It sounds like data corruption that was saved to the backup.

Is there any way to identify where the corruption is. Or can I at least import my contacts back into the phone. I don't use that many applications anymore, so this is not an issue.
Sync your contacts with either iCloud or an address book app on your computer. Then you can sync them back afterwards.
Thanks for that help. I'll try that and see what happens
To answer your question about where the problem lies, its some app that is stuck in a loop sending data and failing. It could be a built in app, like Mail. To check Mail go into Settings and turn off all of the account features (contacts, calendar,mail, etc). Reboot the phone, then turn them back on if the problem goes away with them off. Just interrupting the app for a while will usually fix it.
Thanks LF for your advice. My iPhone 4S had started heated up with a battery drain requiring up to 3 charges a day instead of once. It all started after the recent software upgrade few days back. Did what you suggested, now my phone is not having a temperature any more 🙂
Thanks again.
