Help HTC battery dies during web browsing

[simbowls]

Hi, my HTC desire (c.12 months old) has started playing up.

The battery works fine and the phone functions well - unless I am browsing / using maps / etc, basically anything that involves data. When doing this, the phone starts to heat up and the battery dies within 5 minutes every time. If I turn mobile browing off, then the battery lasts for 12+ hours as normal.

A few weeks ago it was stuck in a boot-loop, and I did a hard restart. Not sure if this is relevant / linked.

Any thoughts hugely appreciated....I've got another 12 months to run on the contract !!

Cheers

Here's what you can do:
* Try with a different battery to see if the problem comes from the battery or from the phone (i.e. from the hard rest)
* Install some battery apps/widgets: Best battery widgets for Android phones and tablets

Note:
I believe it's normal that the phone heats up when there is data transmission over the network (phone, internet, bluetooth, GPS...)
