Help Phone Overheats While Charging (Even Off)

My Samsung Galaxy Proclaim overheats whenever I try to charge it. I have the Wi-fi, 3G, and all of my apps turned off but it still gets very hot and stops charging. It only ever charges for about 20 minutes before shutting down again, even if the phone is turned off. It also only holds a small charge and I find that I often need to charge it more than once a day, if I have to use it. Has anyone else had this problem? The phone is about 2 years old, but the battery is only a month or so old.
 
You have a hardware problem if the phone overheats when you charge it with the phone turned off, but you'll have to bring it to a repair shop to find out where the problem is.
