Heat issues?

Has anyone experienced hot spots on their edge? there is a huge amount of heat coming off the upper right potion of my edge.

All Notes that I have had (1-3 and the Edge) would only get warm when running hard (nav + music) while charging at the same time. The Edge seems to do the same thing, but mine doesn't get warm at all under typical use.

I've had mine since Monday and it's barely gets warm whereas my GS3 would get hot. I haven't played many graphic intensive games yet, but have watched hrs of video continuously and the i think the only heat really is coming from me holding it. Other than that, it's been exploring the phone, surfing and other everyday use.

hows your battery life? mine is terrible and even though it's on a charger (not the fast charger) and shows that it is charging but, the %s keep dropping

My Note 3 got warm when I was online a lot of playing games. The note edge hasn't done this. Also I haven't play the game I normally b do.

How many days have it been?
I got mines on launch day the 14th. And it took a few days of draining it low and charing it back up before it started to last.
I remember when I first got it was it dripping to 50% really fast then start to go a bit slower from there.
But like today. I check a few emails and got on the Web and it went from 99% to 98% in 10 to 15mins vs day one where it would drop from 99% to 90 in 15mins.

Its actually pretty good. With moderate to heavy use, i get about 11 hrs but if i just let it sit with light use (checking email, light browsing etc) it drops slowly. It's at 4:45 mins now and I'm still art 91%. I wonder if your other charger is bad or an app is draining it. My nexus 7 (2013) drains on the charger if my daughter played her my little pony game. That app keeps draining in the background.

I got mine wed and it runs extremely hot doing bare minimum and completly dies in 4 hrs

Could you check your battery usage to see which app takes the most battery?

Sounds like something is using bluetooth, WiFi or 4G all the time.

I did, it said mostly my screen. The Google auto restore installed an app I had on my heart called open mic + I never ran it but I think that might have been it. I also let it fully deplete last night and today it seems normal. I hope it's not defective I got mine through the website and really am not on the mood to run around...

Have you enabled "Night clock" for you edge screen? There could be potential conflict. Just my 2 cents.

mine seems hot too

Specifically around the camera area on the back. This happens whenever I am downloading or updating software and similar activities which suggests to me it is a wifi issue (I dont have bluetooth enabled most of the time) Not sure if I should worry about this or not - the phone seems otherwise OK but does get hotter than my Note 3. In normal use, even while charging it is cool to the touch

S6 heating!!!! help

Hello guys.
So i bought the s6 non edge 32 gig model 3 days back. The phone is awesome no doubt but i had heating issues from the very first day. First i thought it might be the battery drain. did factory reset and i was getting 4hrs+ SOT with 5.0.1.
Now i am on 5.1.1 and the battery seems to have improved giving 5hrs SOT. But the phone heating issue remains the same. The phone gets warm about 92F above after 5 minutes to 10minutes normal usage.
Using the phone for 30 min the temperature is near 100F . is it normal? Cpu spy shows normal activity.The phone only heats while using it is cool with screen off. The heat is felt on the left side of camera and spreads around after more usage. Due you think its because of the climate. i live in a place where summers are always above 93F . But even in AC phone gets pretty warm.
Do you think my battery timings and phone heating is normal. Please comment i am quite worried about it i spent a lot of money on it.

i think if you're worried about it you can bring it to Samsung Service Center to get it fixed.

i donot have samsung centre in my area. infact i have to ship it to dubai to get it fixed. can you tell me does your device gets warm after using it?

wow that's pretty bad, sometimes, when using too long for battery consuming applications like gaming or such, but when i put it into my pocket when it's warm, it gets hotter.

but my phone gets warm on normal usage

okay so i downloaded both apps... the cpu spy shows no sign of abnomal cpu usage... it is in deep sleep for most of the time. better battery stats show no app draining battery... i only use fb/messenger and gmail app. today i got 5 hrs SOT with 22hrs usage time. i think the battery us fine but why the phone warms up so much. My question is how oftenly do you feel that yous phone is getting warm?

Maybe brightness is too high causing the phone to heat. Cases also make phones overheat.

he could be using auto brightness, which also causes the phone to spike the brightness and heats up faster

Hey, I had a similar problem with my Galaxy S6 32gb and I would only get roughly 10 hours battery life out of it with 2 hours screen on time and as soon as I turned the screen on, it would be so hot on the right side, you couldn't actually hold it. I just ended up selling it and didn't think to contact Samsung or anything because it did it every time I turned the screen on so I just thought it might've been normal. I always had everything turned off with just wifi and auto screen brightness on and just 1 Google account synced too. :silly:

that's a sad story you shouldn't contacted Samsung to get it sorted out

Figured out it was a hardware issue... there are two ways to check if you s6 heating issue is software or hardware related. install gsam battery monitor and see if kernel or android OS (apart from any third party app draining) is draining most battery than its a software issue.
otherwise its a hardware one. i got mine replaced and the new one works fine.

Samsung Galaxy s7 keeps overheating

Hi, I got a new galaxy s7 from metro pcs today and it keeps overheating. It gets pretty hot even when I'm not using it. I downloaded the cooler master app to see the temperature and it is constantly over 36 degrees celcius. Is my phone defective or is this normal?

Mine will sometimes get a little warm to the touch, but it's not so hot that I ever worry about it, and it may just be because my hands are warm and I'm the one heating it up. I just downloaded the Cooler Master app and I'm fluctuating between 27.3-29 C. So I would say your phone is possibly be defective.

Normally the phone stays cool when not in use. You however wrote you just got it new, so the heat may come from downloading all the apps and data used on your previous device in the background. I'd just give it some time to settle. Otherwise, heat needs a lot of battery charge.
Checking settings->battery->battery useage should reveal what's causing the heat.

And dont forget after every charge make a reboot just in case
(Android services "bug")

Today it actually got passed 37 degrees Celsius while playing a game. It gets really hot to the touch and uncomfortable too hold. It only cools down when I'm not using it. I tried closing apps in the background but it doesn't cool it down when I'm using it. scratch that it's at 39.5 degrees

Devices are built to withstand the heat and they are specifically designed to run any kind of supported application but if the user application is hogging up a lot of resources in the background example: Facebook (They could have built a power station to supply for the entire world if they had stored all the juice they squeezed out from our devices). So its all up to the user to control it, S7 already has Battery optimization feature which I assume cuts out a app from accessing data or performing any high resource consuming activity in the background if enabled.

Lol you say 40 degrees i remember some of my former phones like oneplus or even my tablet samsung galaxy note 10.1 even lg gflex 2 that reach temp over 60 degrees celsious.
I wouldnt be concerned. But if you want to be sure run some stress tests to check your phone.

Your phone will let you know if it gets too hot. If I go straight from charging to running VR or other intensive games my phone will overheat and give me a message.

S7 flat/Exynos Heating and extreme battery drain

hello guys, i hope you all are having a great day. so my problem is this : as soon as i got the phone, i rooted it ( obviously knox tripped but that doesn't matter to me) i flashed some customs roms, but i didn't like them because the phone was lagging and freezing randomly from time to time with the phone starting to heat in just 5 min or less and the battery life got crappy. Then i decided to flash a stock rom odin, but that didn't change a thing, since the phone still having having heating issues and extreme battery drain. oh yeah, and fast charging doesn't seem to be fast even though the fast charge activated. Help you guys

Try a factory reset, and do a clean setup (don't restore any apps).. Then just give it like 2 days (the battery usually drains faster the first couple of days).. This same thing happened to me when I got the phone out of the box, rooted it as well after a week because I don't care about knox or warranty, phone was heating and battery draining so fast, I did a factory reset and a clean setup, after 2 days of discharging the phone and charging it to 100%, the battery life got better and stabilized, the heat went away. Now I easily get about 6 hours of SOT with heavy usage (gaming and stuff), and the phone barely gets hot (it only gets hot when I play pokémon Go on 4G because it uses your GPS constantly). I have the exynos version as well.
Edit: Also try Package Disabler Pro (it's paid but it's worth it), it disables all samsung bloatware and some useless services that keep running in the background, it sure helped my phone feel a lot smoother and get even better battery life.

I heard somewhere that when you root S7 it changes the CPU's governor and it starts to lag overheat etc.(only in snapdragon model)

He is using the Exynos version, which does not have this problem. Only the Qualcomm root method results in the cpu governor being changed to performance, causing battery drain and heat.

Overheating due to the old battery is possible?

Hi to all users, hoping you're having a nice day i ask you a question I bought two days ago a second hand Galaxy S7 Flat (G930F) gold platinum 32GB including original box and accessories and bla bla bla for 230€. The phone is working well is updated to Oreo with the latest security patch of July 2018 it's in the same condition as a new one really everything is fine except for one thing or two . Start talking about the battery that is really bad i can reach only 3h30min maybe 4h00min (only under WiFi usage) with screen resolution in FHD a lot of stuff deactivated etc everything setted for a low battery consumption (exeception for power saving mode that i hate) now the thing is i relate the battery to the second problem that i mentioned before and the problem is that the phone overheat a lot and i think this overheating is caused by the old bad battery is that possibile? An example im using only Whatsapp to text messages and the phone it's not hot but if alongside i open common application like Facebook or Instagram or anyway even if i open another two application that they are not Facebook or Instagram the phone overheat! I downloaded CPU-Z to see the temperature of the battery and it goes always from 30.4C to a max of 35.8C or sometimes 36.2C but never higher but the fact is that with this battery temperature when the phone is in my hand its really hot.. the thermal temperatures are always beetwen 36C when the phone is "cold" and max 46/47C when the phone is hot, almost forget to say not always but often the phone overheat a lot even when he is on charge.. now dont tell me that the battery its normal i know well that a S7 or S7 edge can do 6h or 7h of screen on usage (only over wi fi usage) or 4h on screen in 4G all day, mine with this battery reach only 1h33min or 2h in 4G i know this battery is bad and i will replace it in this days i hope until this friday but my question at the end is simple can an old battery cause so much overheating on this S7 or anyway in general on a phone? Thanks in advance to everyone that who spent time to read this and help me!

try installing Phone INFO apps from playstore and look the battery charging cycle. and i can confirm that with the Oreo my phone is hotter than Nougat. i'm using Snapdragon variant btw.

in addition, it does not exceed the 2:30 of screen on time and gets hot
