I installed the September 2024 security update on my Z Flip 6 and almost immediately the screen overheated and the phone's display became dim and gray. Trying to change the brightness did nothing. The upper half of the phone remained very hot until I shut it down. I'm not the only person with a similar issue, but the mods are closing the threads very quickly.
Each new flip phone gets a little worse. Support also continues to deteriorate. Blaming the customer is apparently Samsung's go to move these days. Moto is looking better all the time.
Hello, We understand how frustrating it is when your phone is overheating.
Whether you're using a phone, tablet, smartwatch, or earbuds, all Galaxy devices have a set temperature range, where they operate at their best. While they may feel warm under certain conditions, like charging, this does not affect the device's lifespan or performance. However, if your devices get too warm, it could cause some issues.

Turn off the device.
Press and hold the Volume Up key, then press and hold the Side key.
When the green Android logo displays, release all keys ('Installing system update' will show for about 30 - 60 seconds before showing the Android system recovery menu options).
Press the Volume down key several times to highlight wipe cache partition.
Press Side key to select.
Press the Volume down key to highlight yes, them and press the Side key to select.
When the wipe cache partition is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted.
If your phone is getting too warm to touch, repairs would be recommended in order to have the technicians evaluate the device.
