Hii im new to this forum... Just joined as i wanted to see if this has happened to anyone elses sensation.
The other day i had my phone in my pocket at work and i felt it was getting really hot on my leg! Opened up the task killer thinking i must of left something running... But nope, everything was normal! My battery had gone from full to 66% in under a hour and i hadnt even used it!! So knowing that i still had 13hrs left on my shift and no charger with me, i turned it off and put it in my locker.
Couple of hours later i go back to get my phone and im shocked to feel that it was red hot even though it was turned off. My battery was now at 13%.... Whats that about?!
This hasent happened since and hopefully wont again. Anyone else has this problem?
Im also abit worried about the heat my screen gives off when im doing simple things like browsing the web for over half an hour.
Anyway... Essay over
Turn "fasboot" off. Your phone wasn't off...just in "sleep mode". I assume.
This same exact thing happened with my G2X when I downloaded the NFL app during draft day. I closed the app and put the phone in my pocket. Ten minutes later I felt my leg getting hot and my phone was burning up. I deleted the NFL app and everything went back to normal. Most of the time it's a poorly written app that causes this issue so I suggest you delete any recently installed apps and see if it happens again.
have a look at this.. maybe it helps

this new t-mo update has messed up my phone. my phone now wakes up out of sleep mode, runs on 100% screen brightness (i keep it on 75%) and it runs hot. I have no clue when its cutting on so my phone has been super hot a few times. Anyone else have this problem? i am not pleased. Any fixes out there? thanks in advance.
Me too! It started yesterday, it gets damn hot. Not when it you first get your sensation, but properly hot! I couldn't honestly hold it, and also the battery just drops insanely in a few minutes. Also I am not sure if it is only me, but the speaker don't work sometimes. A completely new problem :/
I got my phone last Saturday from Orange. The first thing I did when I got home was completely de-brand the device and install the latest OTA from HTC. I have to admit myself, that it caused the phone's Sense to become insanely unstable (going to the green HTC logo after about 15 minutes of usage every time you exit an app) and it got quite hot too. Hot to the point that I didn't even have to be using my phone for it to be hot. I was actually able to put my hand in my pocket during cold weather and keep my hand warm because of the heat of my phone! Since installing Android Revoloution it has solved my problem & all problems with the slowness of the phone.
Anyone have their GS6 Overheat and the Camera LED diable?
Had this happen the other day. It was in my pocket and didn't really feel that hot hot either just the buttons felt hot.
I've only had my S6 for 2 days now. Today it was just sitting next to me, screen off, hadn't touched it in a while. I picked it up and it was BURNING hot. I turned it on, and it said it was overheating and in "Cool Down" mode. There weren't any apps I left running (ie. iHeartRadio, Video player, etc). It was literally just sitting there not being used, but for some reason became EXTREMELY hot for no reason. If anyone else is having this issue I'd love to heart about it before I pass my 14 day return period or this thing blows up in my face.
My phone gets extremely hot if I have the screen brightness over about 30%.... even in my pocket sometimes. I've found keeping wifi off helps a lot and disabling all the spam helped too. What really heats my phone up is any kind of camera activity. Any more than 5-10 pictures or 2+ minutes of video makes my phone so hot I wont put it in my pocket. If I could choose again I would of kept my LG G2 for a few extra months and kept away from the pocket oven.
My wife and I got the S6 on release date and haven't had any overheating issues like you said.
Ours do get warm while in use but not on idle.
I would take it back to Verizon and see about getting a replacement. The one you have may be faulty.
Hi,
I think I'm having an issue with my new Z3, it seems to overheat very easily. We have high temperatures here in Czech Republic currently, however this happens indoors also (not more than 26 °C).
Phone often gets over 60°C even if its not under heavy stress, i.e. just chatting over messenger and browsing web. When I try to start camera, it shuts itself off, beacuse the phone is too warm. I even got like 68°C when trying to take a picture!
Is this normal or should I have the phone replaced?
Thanks
I would say not normal, our temperatures in Toronto Canada range between 30/40 in summer and I've never had a over heating issue.
Have you tried factory reset?
Currently i'm in holiday and i'm always near the beach, under the sun my Z3 gets near 60-65 but when is like 8 pm and there's no sun anymore my phone is near 35
Same here.

Jo, tady to samy, hruza. Zkus 4K video - ja muzu natacet asi tak... 20 vterin? Kdyz mam stesti. A neni moc horko....
Same here. Temperature gets to 60+ degrees while on 3G plus facebook/whatsapp. I will try resetting to stock and check if it fixes the problem.
I used to have this after upgrading to Lollipop.
Factory reset and wipe fixed all problems; overheating, battery issues, etc.
Over heating is always a problem for xperia Zx especially if you live in high temp country like mine
i have and use the original z, z1, z2, and now z3 and it all the same
even on standby the xperia will get hot if im outside under the sun
and using the camera will make it worse, the device will show over heating need to shutdown
using iphone 6 plus in the same condition is better but after dozen pic taken, it show the same error
the only cure for me is to power off the phone until the device no longer feel hot in your hand
but for now i usually use two phone if im planning to take many photo, one usually powered off and use the other one for camera, if its started to get hot then turn off phone and powered on the other phone lol
btw i heard z3+ and z4 overheat is worse so not planning to upgrade to z4, gonna wait until sony wake up and do major update to their line up
this just happened a few hours ago.
I've visited my grandma today in some places in Metro Jakarta Area, and boy Jakarta is as hot as the hell of the hell, when i go there, to her house, it actually looks green and cold, despite that afternoon it's sunny. but boy when i got out, it just burns my brain, head, and body inside and out.
So I kind of played some music in my car, but i turned off the music, and i got out of the car and go to the house, when i came in, wow, just wow, it's like i've just came in to hell, you know. Well in that time, i didn't feel that hot inside me, but my phone didn't feel the same as me...
you know, when i got out, i had my phone on aeroplane mode, and i don't do anything with my phone, after i came in, i just did light things with my z3, and after that, i played some games, and the phone started to became warm, well not that warm, but just a tad warm. and when i finished playing the game, i closed the game, and then lock my phone, and my phone seemed like it didn't like the environment and the air quality inside the house, so it became really really warm after that, i checked the temperature at cpuz and i saw the battery temperature, that is at 36 or so celsius, and i saw the thermal, most of them are like 40-50, and it is raising. and it just slowly getting hot until it is super super hot, i got panicked that i don't check the temperature and just turn off my phone to let it cool down.
Well my phone is new, and here, people are just ambitious when some person got a new phone, especially when it is a good one, like s6,z3+,iphone 6, or something else, especially z3 like mine, because sony users here are a lot but i rarely seen the users. so when i turn my phone off, my uncle was looking at my phone and started to tell me that he want to borrow it for a minute, so i gave it to him, i forgot to tell him that i turned off the phone because it experienced overheating that time, so i think he turned on the phone, i saw that fancy startup screen with that purple flow thingy, so i told him late, and asked some questions about the phone, and then i took the phone. I got panicked again because it's getting even hotter.
well that room is super super hot you know, but i'm one of the people who hate hot or warm environments, but i don't feel that hot, although it is warm, but some people thought that, that room is as hot as hell. so when i checked the phone, i saw that the startup screen is still running, it's unusual because it should display the lockscreen that time, so soon after that, the phone got lagged startup, and a few seconds later it got freezed, and then, like 5-8 seconds after that, the screen is pitch black, i thought the phone died, but it was restarting again, so i wait a couple of seconds, and it just did the same thing as before, so i'm worried, after like 5 times of doing the same thing, i asked my sister if i need a pin for force reset the phone with the button inside the microsd/sim slot. And then the screen turned off with 3 times vibrate, that was my first overheating and my first time of reseting a phone like that on my z3,
Oh yes i just remember, the phone is at 13% that time before the first turn off. And continuing on, when it already cooled down, i pressed the power button to turn on the phone, and again, that thing happened again, and it overheats again, i got really worried, so i let it cool down again, and then i tried to turn it on again, but did the same thing, so i turned off the phone again with the same method, and take my charger inside my car, and charge my phone, after that, it charges at 9% mark, i let it charge for some minutes and then, i turn on the phone again and just pray , then finally, the phone turned on without an issue, when i tested everything inside and outside it, everything seems normal.
that is creepy you all know? hahaha
btw, i'm not really in jakarta, i'm in sawangan, depok, it's like jakarta's sub city/ inside Jakarta metro area. but both are as hot as hell.
edit : oh yes, it's not just me, my mom's gnote 8, my sister's iphone 5s, and even my blackberry curve 8520 did the same. but my z3 is like, far severe one
but other than that, my phone didn't feel and seem as bad as you are, i just got like warm but not that much heat on mine when trying the same thing with the same condition as you are.
Early last month, the phone went to the familiar black screen and wouldn't start. Based on past experiences, I let it run over night until the battery finished and then went to recovery and wiped cache. But the operation lasted close to one hour without any progress, so I restarted it. Still it wouldn't start, and I tried again to get to recovery mode, but this time there was no recovery mode. So it needed to be re-flashed, I thus thought, just as it did twice during the past year.
I was/am a long-term world traveller, and luckily I was in a city then. So I spent some efforts and found a repair shop and had the guy flash it. He seemed to have completed the flash but before I could fully login I got the black screen again on the spot. There was nothing we could do to get out of the black screen but to let the battery drain. So I paid him for the flash and went back to my apartment, and again let it run over night to drain the battery. The next morning when the battery was finished and I charged it up to about 30%, then I tried to start. But it only went to the Samsung logo without going forward. The recovery mode was back though, so I could switch it off. I was going to another city that day so I didn't have any chance to go back to the repair shop.
So about 10 days later when I reached another big city, I found another repair shop to get it flashed again. When I got there he did a couple normal starts, but when he was trying to go to recovery, the screen went to black again. So I had to take it back to my apartment waiting for the next morning.
The next morning I found an official Samsung repair centre in the city. So I went and left the phone there to get checked/fixed. The day after, I called and was told that it had problems in the main board. To replace it would cost about the same as buying a new phone.
Well that was very upsetting. I was/am not in the country where I bought the phone, so no warranty could I rely on.
The only thing I could try was to see if someone would buy it. So I went to a couple shops with the phone under black screen. One place offered me about $200 just for the screen. Well the phone costed me $600 just one year ago and it had been given excellent care throughout. Now just $200? But for a dead phone that sounded fine for me.
I bought it new. I never tempered it, nor had I given it heavy tasks. It was just to aide my travel: photos, maps, hotel booking, browsing the internet, and so on.
Had it been a good phone for me? I would say that the only thing I liked was the camera. Very good under low light.
But the GPS had been very slow. At times I had to wait for a minute to get my location under open sky.
The compass on the map was also very indecisive. Often times I got the opposite direction. So often I had to do the famous swing dance on the street to get it correctly.
The first big problem I had was the dark bands on the screen in about three months I got it. Samsung said the screen had to be replaced. But I was travelling in another country so no warranty would cover the replacement. I had to live with it. But luckily, after about a week, the screen came back normal.
Then after I got the long-awaited firmware upgrade it refused to start twice. I had to get it flashed. Imagine how much trouble that was for a world traveler. I couldn't flash it myself because I don't have a Windows computer!
Did I like the edge, or rather the no-edge? I probably would if I were an asura. But you see I need to hold a phone by hands. It just gave endless mistouches, and worries that it would slip off. A joke indeed for me.
Then the finger prints! All over the screen and the back. It just looked so dirty! Just as you would believe the phone is good at finger prints, the sensor was simply not very effective. Many times, enough failures required me to wait for a minute before retry.
The battery life was just so-so. It hardly lasted a day without me having to refrain from ordinary usage. So some would argue that it's got fast charging. But what can you do when you are outing for the whole day and relying on the GPS to go back? Ye, battery banks?
The WiFi reception was very poor. Often times when other phones worked well with WiFi, this phone complained about it. What was going on?
And the speed? Well it was not too slow, but for a top-of-the-line phone, it was just crawling. I never used it to play any games, but the response of launching and handling any app was simply not fast enough. Blame it on the multitudes of bloatware? I don't know.
And the random freeze and reboots? Although it did not happen as often as on a crappy phone, it happened quite a few times in the year.
And the renowned black screen of death, with or without the blue light on. Very scary. It happened also quite a few times. Initially it was worry and sleepless research. But then it made me an expert on how to deal with it.
And the long time or never for system or security updates?
So all in all, for my need of a reliable phone for serious use, I am happy it passed away.
Ok.
You were unlucky and got a defective one. I had to go to Sammy for having the same Black screen and constant freezes. They replaced the board with a New one that was made in march this year. The phone has been perfect ever since. I get usually almost 2 days of battery from it and flawless speed.
What i learned is that a low percentage of People that bought the phone in the day one had defective boards were the soc had problems.
But i get your frustration about the problems you had. I had the same toughts but decided to take a chance in trying to get it repaired.
Really bad luck on defective phone and/or most likely from the first batch... all the phones got a lot of those at first.
On the side note, why the phone is not under warranty if you didn't root it? Isn't the warranty 2 years and shouldn't they repair it charge free?
I don't mean to sound rude. But someone paid 200 dollars for a phone which you say was defective. He did this not for the screen but because 100% this was a software issue and not hardware. If you spent all the effort going to 2 repair shops you could have spent half the time flashing your carriers firmware from Sam mobile or even a custom rom on your own.
Im not trying to be rude but the S7E is an extremely powerful tool. There aren't any moving parts. The phone was fixable.
