S7 getting very very hot - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi Friends,
My S7 is used most of the day as a tethering device to share internet with my pc. The phone gets very very hot on the sides and around the back where the camera lens is. The volume and power off buttons are super hot. On the lower side, the sides of the home button are hot but not as much as the sides of the top. As soon as I touch my phone Note 7 comes to my mind. I have already disabled fast charging. If I am playing games and it gets hot I immediately stop the same. Is there any need to be scared of? What should I do?
Thanks

try resetting it

Galaxy S4 Makes Siren Like Noise and Screen Won't Turn On

Hello,
Unfortunately I have dropped my Galaxy S4, however the screen did not shatter. It only has small scratches on it, however the screen does not work and it won't turn on. The phone turns on and the home, menu and back buttons work however the screen does not display anything and it seems to be unresponsive. Everyonce and a while, the phone also makes a really loud, siren like noise and vibrates. I am guesing that this might be because of the low battery. I would really apprecaite it if anyone could tell me what to do and if a screen replacement would work.

Xperia Z3 screen flickering, help

I gave my Z3 a little bath in tap water in the sink. It was not submerged so this is more like a shower. I double checked and secure the ports. I don't even use the ports anyway because I have magnetic charging. I dried it and started using it. It was all fine until 5 mins later it just randomly turned off. Battery was good, tried using the power button and it wouldn't work. So I did the power button and volume + method and it fixed it. But the touch screen didn't work sometimes (randomly), there was a blinking red light before I booted it on, and there is rattling near the camera area when i shake it. I ran diagnostics and noticed that my screen was also flickering. Some of the tests used vibration as feedback and this made the flickering worse. Now the screen is struggling to stay lit. It turns on for 3 seconds and then it dies. You can only see parts of it too. I need help. This phone is unusable. I bought this phone (Sony Xperia Z3 D6603 black) from Worldwide Distributors on Amazon.com 3 months ago. I only took it into the water a few times. I don't think its water damage because I had the flaps secured unless Sony gave me a defective phone. I paid $700 for this and I'm not rich either. I was saving up. The phone has the standard 2 year warranty. Somebody please help. what should I do? Will Sony fix it or give me a new one?
UPDATE: Screen is dead. It still turns on and touch screen still works but cant see anything. It's like it lost signal . Kinda like how a tv loses signal. The tv still works but are no shows on.
IMPORTANT: I just found a little hole that shows part of the screen backlight. Its on the side but its more like a crack. I haven't drop this or anything. So this is possibly how the water got in. This is also Sony's fault. Will I get a new replacement or refund or repair or something?
Thanks for all your help.

Happened to me too! The screen is black but is showing the brightness and the touch works. It's totally weird!. i'm going to send the phone to SAT
Seems the lcd backlight is still working where the lcd screen is not;
not sure whether the warranty covers water damage or not...
Got around the same problem. happend in the water screen went black phone was still working. After a lot of reboots and resets it started to work for around 3 seconds then evantually the screen was staying, but is flashing now, looks like the flickering happens when the screen gets too much power. In light conditions it either flickers or is real dark.
What can I do to fix this? Or do I just contact Sony? I've also tried the pressure test and it is water resistant so it has to be something different.
If the screen is cracked they will charge you for the replacement for sure

Hi. I've noticed that my screen flickers when I put the brightness on maximum. Watching the behavior it makes me think that it happens all the time, but it's only noticeable the screen brightness is high. Tried to get it on film, but my camera does not seem to pick up the flickering.
I noticed this after a pool bath with my phone, but i don't know if it is related to that. I did not a chance to use maximum brightness before
I do not have any other issues though, just the flickering. Should i send it to repair? My phone is an 6633 Dual Sim Z3 (Brazilian, unbranded) with less then 3 months of usage.

[Q] Screen goes partially blank

Hey, so I have this weird problem with my G Flex 2.
I got it around 40 days ago from U.S. Cellular.
I have run into this problem about three times now, and from what I can remember it always happens when I have music playing. I tap the screen on to the lock screen then let it go to sleep or turn it off myself. When I wake it back up the screen is all black except for a few millimeters on the top, where I can see some display.(*note, this doesn't happen every time)
I am able to scroll through the display but no pop up menus. Since the battery is sealed off in the back of the phone I can't use that fix, holding the power button only brings up the menu option to turn off the screen which doesn't do me much good since I can't use the screen.
If I wait for 5 minutes or so the phone will right itself, but I don't want this to be a persisting problem. I'm not sure if this problem is tied to the music playing, it hasn't happened when it isn't playing, but I play music on my phone quite often. (note* I am playing the music from my phone, not streaming)
If you need more info I'll do my best to provide it. This is all I can think of right now.
Honestly, I don't expect anyone to have a fix yet since the phone is fairly recent and not as popular. I tried looking under G3 forums since the UI is pretty much identical, but I didn't find anything.
Sorry, my post is a little wordy.
I'd appreciate any help anyone can provide. Thanks
Yes, this has happened to me twice recently too. Once the screen was completely black except for a bright white line at the very bottom, but the phone was still responsive behind the dead screen. The other time there was a distorted/ghosty notification bar showing at the top but nothing else (like what you reported). Then the problem would resolve completely and spontaneously after resuming from sleep a few times. I have the Korean model (F510S) which was a gift so I'm stuck with it - no returns or warranty available.
bonebeatz1234 also posted about a similar problem. Seems like a hardware fault?
The replacement phone screen was fine i had a different issue of over heating and had to return it . I opted to get another device the note 4. Didn't wanna go that route bit had no choice i loved the design and ui of the flex 2. I wished lg would of just ditched the 810

Hi, I encountered same problem here.
Is anyone able to send me a screen shot or a video of this problem.
As I need to use this to prove the situation and claim warranty from the seller, however I didn't take a photo or something when the problem happened to me.
please sent to [email protected] if you have the photo or video and many thanks~
Just had this problem also had a g flex 2 for about 21 days now and it happened to me after a restart in the car with a pinkish line at the top and the phone was completely responsive even though the screen was blank
I think it might have to do with heat cause I held it by the ac vent while I was reading this board on my nexus and when I looked back at the phone it was working perfectly
But I swear during my time with the phone it heated up way more than this time and this time the phone wasn't even hot
I reset the phone like 3 times before I held it to the vent and it didn't help at all
Using the att variant with android 5.1.1
Have the same problem every now and then, found a recommendation on another website and in the instruction manual to reset the phone by holding down the power button and volume down button for about 10 seconds or to turn it off by holding down the same buttons for 20 seconds. I find what works better though is to just leave the phone alone and it corrects itself within about 5 minutes.
Having this same problem. Happens once every couple of weeks. Any updates on this?
I think that this is a heat problem....everytime i left my phone in the sun, it show me this strange error.
I'm not convinced its a heat issue. I looked at my battery chart the last time it happened and it was barely over 90 deg. It seems it happens to me when it is charging PLUS doing something like streaming music or GPS is on. I need to start taking notes. I should have done that before.
this have happened to twice too. weird anomaly.

Having the same random issue. Today it happened and reboot would not fix (it usually does) finally after about 30 minutes the screen came back to normal. I now disabled lock screen in case I need to get data off the phone from pc ? in the case that the issue becomes permanent.

although it's an old post, but worth to mention, that It can happen to all the LG Flex 2 models.
It is caused by a heat or inaccurate voltage. let me explain how it can happen:
heat - when you put the phone on the car's cradle under the car's front windows during a sunny day - it will happen.
voltage/heat - when you charge your phone and not using your original charger (eg chinese car chargers) - it will happen.
so what to do? I've noticed that putting the device over the cat's air conditioning , can reduce this to few minutes. also, if you can, mount your cradle over one of the air condition outlets and it will freeze your phone all the time

[Q] Overheating and LED Camera Flash = Off

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.
