Hello,

 

It's usually normal for your device to feel a little warm while in use.

 

Here are a few facts to know:

 

If the phone only feels warm/slightly hot in these situations, this is normal.

  • Apps running in the background
  • When charging
  • Downloading apps, data, etc.
  • Games
  • GPS in use
  • Phone cases trap heat
  • Screen staying on
  • Streaming video or audio
  • Video chat

Tips to reduce heat:

  1. Remove device case/cover and see if this cools it down.
  2. Unplug the charger if the phone is fully charged.
  3. Close apps running in the background.
  4. Close app and browser tabs you are not using
  5. Uninstall any apps you downloaded before the problem started.
  6. Turn off network connections you are not using
  7. Reduce the screen timeout.
  8. Remove the battery (if removable), inspect for any damage, dust, etc., and reinsert it.

You also have an option to put unused apps to sleep. Follow the link below:

I hope this helps!

it's most likely a bad battery or you could be using a charger that doesn't agree with your device
