[Bug]: Phone/battery gets really hot

[mdeeter]

What was the Problem?

I've been listening to a book while the phone is locked sitting on the couch. After about an hour, I went to check something on my phone and when I picked it up, my phone was extremely hot (like hotter than a typical magsafe-charging temperature).

I had noticed it occurred this morning as well, but assumed it was a fluke, I woke up with 95% battery... chilling on the couch listening to a book while working on the computer... after a couple of hours, I picked up my phone and it was super-hot... and the battery was down to less than 70%.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

Play book while phone locked.

What was Expected?

Not to make the phone hot or drain battery.

In both occurrences, I was at home on 5Ghz wifi. Iirc, I was listening to a book that was downloaded... but not disconnected from the server.
