Just wanted to bring this up here, so that others can search overheating issues and that they are not alone. The phone worked great for the past year of having it, then with this new update Android version 12 my phone service was spotty and dropping calls or just searching for internet and just last week phone started overheating. When I am using it for a call or browsing the internet or social media, it gets really hot I mean up to 120 degrees Fahrenheit. The screen dims down to 40-50 percent automatically and the longer I use it the faster the battery discharges and dimmer it gets. When it first started I called tech support and while running through procedures for resetting the network and so on the battery went from 40- 20 percent in a matter of minutes. I chatted with tech and they said it wasn't covered, but then I got a follow-up call to send it in but I was traveling and he said I can call in the week after to mail it in. Called up tech support today and got told I was out of luck and take it to local service and it's not covered under warranty. You would think they take the battery overheating issue more seriously after their note 7 recall debacle, but I guess not.
