Since the new update in August, my phone has been using battery power & overheating like crazy. I would venture a guess that the random restarts are from it overheating, to help save the battery, etc. I've powered it off & on to restart it. I've cleaned and scanned the files (I can't remember hiw to clear the cache). & I've looked to disable all-time running apps, but know I'm missing the cause of this.
Last time this happened, there was a quickish fix for it, but I don't remember what it was. Any help or advise would ve appreciated.

If your phone is getting too warm to touch, repairs would be recommended in order to have the technicians evaluate the device.
