Phone kept getting hotter and hotter after update - now won't turn on

Well, seems that my phone crapped out. The mandatory system update that seemed to take forever to load and then install. Afterward, the battery would get the life sucked out of it in minutes while getting hotter and hotter to the touch.  Now it won't even turn on.  Grrrrrrrrrrr
Has anyone else experienced this? Any suggestions on fix?

    @gaieegail,
Believe me when I say I feel your pain! I have the same phone and had the same issues after the update. But don't worry because I'm here to help!
What worked for me was performing a hard reset http://bit.ly/nExWmP after the update. I know it can be inconvenient but necessary after such a big update like the ICS.
I noitced a big difference after the hard reset and I'm confident you will too. Just make sure you back up your phone before the hard reset so you don't lose anything you need.
Keep me posted if you need further assistance.

    Okay. That's got the most common (current) possibility ruled out.
    There's a lot of stuff that might be on the table still, though.

    If your iMessage and FaceTime still hasn't activated by now, I would recommend you use this specific section of the following article as long as you verify you've done all the other troubleshooting from it for this issue:
    If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime 
    If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
