My phone has been turning hot recently for no reason. It's not being exposed to hot weather or anything. This started happening 2 updates ago I think. I have a phone thermostat app that is typically correct but lately it almost always says it's 80 degrees Fahrenheit. So I'm guessing that's how hot my phone is. It's very warm to the touch, even when I hadn't don't more on it than just text someone.
How do I fix this? I don't want to buy a new phone.
Hello, We understand how frustrating it is when the 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.
