I should be getting an iPhone 6 within the next week or so, but in the meantime I'm gonna need to do something about my 5S cause it's my main phone till I get the new one. Basically since yesterday, once it's done charging and I unplug it, it's hot. Not very hot, but it's hot enough to make my pockets warm. And less than 5 minutes coming off the charger, it drops to 99. Now it's at 91% and it hasn't been 10 minutes yet. Anyone know what could be causing it? It's jailbroken on 8.1.2 but has been since 8.1..

Sounds like the typical stuck process that is running your cpu usage high in an endless cycle. Download appswitch from the AppStore and click on activity and see what your cpu is doing. If it's high try a reboot or hard reset. If that doesn't fix your problem it's probably a poorly coded jailbreak tweak causing it. Remove each tweak one by one till you find the culprit. Have a good day! :)
