Anyone noticing the phone getting very hot after minimal usage?

I bought another Lumia 920 and like the old Lumia 920, it gets unbearably hot after maybe 10 minutes of usage till I have to put it down.

Overall, feels its a lousy phone:

Cons:
- Battery life is very, very weak. Continuous usage of the phone gets me 2 hours plus of usage before it dies. I had 3 Lumia 920s, all act the same way.
- The stupid thing about the phone is that when charging, using any application will negate any charging and use up more juice than what is being charged! I face this with all so called windows 8 optimized apps.
- The phone heats itself up very, very hot with maybe a continuous usage of 10 minutes or less till I have to put it down for a while.
- I feel most of the applications (WeChat, Skype, Whatsapp) launches rather slowly, especially Microsoft's own Skype which takes a very long time to launch or even resume!

Yes, I tried everything:
- Hard resetting each of the phones
- No background apps activated
- Everything off (Wifi, NFC, Location, Bluetooth, etc)
- Only Windows 8 phone apps downloaded
- 4 Live tiles active (I removed everything else)

Its impossible getting 1-2 days of usage unless you do not ever do anything on your phone.

I had 3 different separate Lumia 920s and I can attest to it that they do not last so long.

I uninstalled everything and just put on Whatsapp and it drains the battery like crazy. Microsoft's own Skype drains the battery like crazy on its own as well. Same goes to WeChat or any social application.

Social Applications -

I tested it again:
- Continuous usage of Whatsapp alone lasts me < 3 hours
- Continuous usage of WeChat alone lasts me < 2 hours
- Continuous usage of Skype alone lasts me < 3 hours

The stupid thing is that all these are supposed to be normal applications for a Smartphone yet the phone, well, can't use them well.

Playing Guns 4 Hire, Dredd vs Zombies or even Robotek and your drains like water. This is without any applications active.

I don't use the usb charger as it will charge very slowly. I use the normal AC powered charger.
