Overheating on my Galaxy S4.
I have a Galaxy S4 for about a year, I have this problem almost since I bought it, but it appears and reappears, so I let it go.
My Galaxy S4, using WhatsApp Music and the CPU temperature rises to just using these programs 45-50ºC
Using only the poweramp the instrument reaches 65c for no reason.
Using browser is hopeless, the device rises to 50-70 degrees and finally restarts or shuts down.
When I bought the unit in the first week I realized that he was heating a lot, but did not reach this temperature (50-70) normally.
I read in various forums that the normal temperature of the Galaxy S4 units were 35-56c
Recently, I downloaded a few albums of music and some pictures on my phone that day he shot and started this strange behavior, and following the same steps bellow, the problem still persists.
I already own a Galaxy Note and I have witnessed the bug "AndroidMediaScanner".
I did all the steps (exept formatting the MicroSD, I recently formatted to exFAT SD) Until I checked the status of the reading process of media using the Android ADB, there was nothing abnormal ..
Even without the memory card, few files in SD (just applications) the problem still appears.
What do you think? It may be a hardware problem that requires replacement?
It may be the battery?
It may be the ROM • (when the OmegaROM use a series of modules Xposed)
Recently reinstalled the ROM and the problem still persists.
I read in a blog that the DS Battery Saver could be giving conflict with the manager's native battery used in the Galaxy S4, I uninstalled the program, yet the problem persists warming.
Connected to the USB temperature suddenly increases to 65c without any reason or use.
What recommend?
Sorry for the English. I used Google translator.
Maybe i attach prints.

I think something's gone wrong with my player, but I'm not sure because I'm new to these types of devices. In any event, here goes: three days ago I got a brand new Samsung Galaxy player. Because it was new, I basically used it to death on the first day exploring all the features, setting up accounts, downloading a few apps, etc. With that amount of heavy usage, I got 5 hours worth of battery life-- YouTube, Angry Birds, GPS, wifi, typing, browsing the net, radio station, downloading apps, snapping pictures, transferring/playing media files, etc.
Then the battery went low, so I recharged. Having gotten everything out of my system, I started using the player casually. I thought, "If I used the player insanely the first day and got 5 hours of it, I'm bound to get at least 8-10 hours now."
Nope. Battery drain became massive-- at the most I got 2 1/2 hours before the battery went low. Charged it again. Not only was the massive drain still there, but now something new developed-- the unit started becoming hot to the touch after a few minutes. I hoped it was just a temporary problem, but nope, the problem remained, getting worse when I would type.
I also had some weird stuff happen the second day I used the player. I got a "bootup screen" when powering the unit back on. Later that same day I got the "Downloading... please do not turn off target!" screen with the yellow Android robot sign.
On my third day, things seemed to go from bad to worse, to the point where at times I would lose 1% of battery power every 1-2 minutes just playing one mp3 song or switching on radio. In fact, in one instance just 3 minutes after powering up the device I would go from 100%-97%.
I Googled myself silly about this and tried everything to no avail--uninstalled all 3rd party apps, factory reset, turned syncing off and avoided wifi like the plague (stats for battery usage never went above 5%). I double and tripled checked my stats. Battery stats would only show a handful of about 6 basic apps running at any given time, each having between 1-10% of usage at the most, with the display always using the battery the most (between 55-89%).
I don't know if this means that the display is the culprit, but if it is, something's wrong because it's set to "automatic brightness" and I also have "power save mode" on.
In any event, no matter what I do now, I'm lucky to get 2 hours on this player. Remember, it's only a few days old. I'm wondering if there's something I missed in troubleshooting this issue or maybe there's something faulty and I need to return it?
Thanks.
Download easy battery saver from google play i had the same problem and my battery increased alot my settings are
Advance mode: lock & unlock is checked WiFi is checked brightness and battery saving brightness is checked and sleep schedule is also checked
You should also install easy task manager and use the widget both combined work great

I suppose you haven't rooted your device or installing any custom ROM, right? If that's correct, seeing download mode when rebooting sound odd to me.
When your device is heating up, that means some apps are running wild and using lots of cpu. What I can suggest is to boot into recovery (power+vol up+home) and perform a factory reset there.
If that still doesn't work, you may need to return it.
Thanks for your response, guys...
j21098, I'll try what you suggested and come back later with the results. But I can't download any apps right now because the battery has once again gone low... it only lasted around 2.15 hours this time. *sigh*
WT Ho... No, I did not root the player and I did the factory reset both ways-- in the player itself and the Vol+Power Button thing. That's why I was unnerved by the Downloading Target thing... I hadn't downloaded or done anything.
Incidentally, after making my post, I tried using the player with head phones in the entire time and that seemed to have resolved some of the heating issues. That's weird, because it's not like I've been using the speakers to play hours and hours of music at 100 decibels. I had them on just to navigate through the screens/ surf the web, play Angry Birds (now uninstalled), and type.
And the entire first day I had the player I used speakers to play an hour or so of YouTube with no heating issues. But now just five minutes of merely clickity clacking on the keyboard and the thing turns into a toaster. Is it normal for speakers to cause that much overheating?
In any event, I'm currently waiting for the player to charge up so I can download the apps that j21098 and let you know what happened. Thanks for your responses once again. I'll be back.
Thanks!
Hi, guys! I'm back!
I wound up figuring out the problem. A lot of the overheating seemed to have come from the little vibration the player makes when you tap the screen or use the keyboard. Using the speakers too much seems to contribute to battery drain but not as badly as the vibration. I turned off that setting and now everything seems to be okay.
P.S. Thanks for the great advice about managing energy levels/ factory resetting, anyway. I definitely will be using the app to manage CPU usage and now know how to "factory reset" using the buttons (as opposed to using the menu).

Hi, a week ago i bought new phone. Huawei Ascend G300. Everything was fine for a week but yesterday suddenly the phone freeze and i had to pull out the battery. After switching the phone on a screen for factory reset appears. Four lines of errors come up and the phone self formated itself. (error reading data, reading cache etc..). So i set it up again but it happens again today...First it was while i play modern combat 2. Second time when i was just scrolling thorough screens. Anyone know what can do this or how to solve it? (already formated SD card and phone manualy - will see what happens).
Anyway heres hprof error file which was generates after the crash and self format. Please someone who can read it and analyze, can you tell me whats causing it?
Thnx
Anyone?
I can't help, but I've had the same issue (twice yesterday!) myself.
In my case, the common factors to both hard resets seemed to be:
1. I was using Google Navigation (actively in one case, and in the background in the other)
2. The phone was connected to a BT hands free device in the car
3. The phone was charging (via car charger)
Those factors may or may not be relevant, of course. I have had the phone for just under a week, and all my data is on a 16GB SanDisc MicroSD card.
My phone is unlocked, and I was using a Three UK SIM.
In the first case, the Navigation screen went blank and the phone was unresponsive and required a battery pull, after which it simply behaved like a new phone or one which had been deliberately wiped using the Factory data reset option. (I didn't see any errors when I started it up - I *think* I was watching it all the tone, but I can't be sure).
The second time (having just about recovered all my widgets, phone settings, etc.), I was listening to a podcast. The progress bar on the screen reset to zero (so presumably it had time to react to whatever the underlying issue was) and then became unresponsive and required a battery pull. This time when I restarted it, I got something like 6-8 lines of yellow errors on the boot screen (which I wasn't in a position to make a note of) and we were back to the initial startup screen.
I shall be returning it to Vodafone as unfit for (my) purpose / faulty.

I send it to service and today I'll get it back. This problem is caused by faulty motherboard. Huawei stated that if you have this issue, immediately go and change your phone for a new one.

Hey there,
Recently, my SGS2 Motherboard(+Battery Socket) got replaced by Samsung due to several issues (very quick battery drain when low battery and crappy home button behaviour etc.) Next day, I started to experience a strange issue, significant stutter, choppiness.
The stuttering begins mostly after enabling Mobile Data, or WiFi and when below 15% battery, but launching an app can also trigger it, even when WiFi and Mobile Data are disabled. Nothing but Lock&Unlock ends the stutter. But it sometimes starts again after a while. The stutter doesn't get triggered when the phone is charging, even with very low battery.
Tried Wipe Data/Factory Reset several times, used another Battery/Adapter, updated the version and then downgraded to a version I've been using before the replacement.(JB)
Didn't try rooting/installing any ROM so far since I might send the phone back although I have a jig.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bump.
get back to Samsung and ask for a new phone.Obviously a motherboard replacement wasn't enough.

Please don't take this the wrong way but, thank God someone else has this problem!
I've done numerous Google searches and I've not found the problem mentioned by anyone else!
It didn't do it when I bought it but I'm not sure at what point it did start. It can go for a week or so with no problem and then it will do it randomly - sometimes twice a day (never had it more than 3 times in one day).
It happened twice yesterday but not at all today - today I've used my phone for internet, map navigation, playing music & multiple everyday apps.
I've not done anything with the phone since I got it, it was SIM-free bought in the UK.
Where do you keep it? I kept mine in my inside coat pocket and it happened. I now keep it in my bag and it's not done it since. I think there could be an over heating problem...

Yes, same here - everywhere! Locker at work, bedside table, trouser pocket....
Interestingly, I've also found that it's only when it is on stand-by, i.e I am not using it.
it could be that when off. the cpu drops to too low a speed and crashes. or u could be running out of memory. also check your storage space.

I have 25GB free storage space.
How can i check the cpu? and what i can do to fix it?

Total device space available: 1.4GB
SD Card: 29GB
1.4GB should still be sufficient surely!
However, interestingly, I thought everything except my Apps went to the SD card as per my set up but there's 776MB of pics/vids & even 5.21MB of audio.
Now, I can't for the life of me find how I can change my storage settings - anyone?!
Cheers.
try resetting it to factory settings (backup your files first) then observe..maybe there is a program or apps that causes the random shut off. if the problem still persist bring it to service if it still has warranty.
quick question.. do you have power saving mode enabled ? if so.. u could switch it on or off, to see if that does anything.
Also to get things of my internal sd. i use. folder mount, and link2sd. p.s. is your phone rooted ?
Hi guys, it happened to me at the very beguinning. What i did? i just rooted the phone, very easy 2 seconds. Then i downloaded Aptoide and download root uninstaller. I've removed all samsung bloatware and also several non useful google apps.. Then phone never turned off back again.
I hope to help you with my feedback. :good::good:
regards.

Not confident rooting the phone and not at the stage of willing to try a factory reset!
I'm not convinced that it's everytime but a significant factor I've noted is that it's common when there are app updates.
When I turn the phone back on, there is usually an icon at the top of the screen alerting me to an update.
shahaf-l, is this something you recognise?
Mine turned off and it hasnt turned on again, apparently its not charging the battery. I took it to a repair shop and they said is death, warranty was invalidated due to a drop I had that happened long before the fail ocurred.
Hope someone finds a solution. I will try charging the battery on a battery charger and try turning it on again, hopefully the phone is just not charging and thats why I can no longer turn it on.
Decided to leave the issue until a new firmware update came along as I had a feeling there could be one - there hasn't been!
However, my phone hasn't turned itself off for over a month now......

Hi guys,
My beloved 64GB Green S6 Edge that i bought on August started today to randomly reboot several times a day. Sometimes in an interval of less than 5 minutes between reboots. My S6 Edge is on stock android 5.1.1 G925F and it has never been dropped or experienced this problem before. I don't recall installing any new apps for this to happen, but almost on a daily basis i get apps updates by the Play Store.
I have lots of lots of applications installed of all sorts. From Amiga Commodore Emulators to Nintendo Gamecube, and everything you can think of. Out of the 64GB i have 12GB remaining and they are most of them on apps.
The problem started today in the morning, i wasn't doing anything... just taking a photo on one of my classes. The problem was experienced several times when taking photos really quick out of the photo shortcut in the lockscreen. Though now today in the night it ... something new happened.... It shut down completely and instead of rebooting it didn't want to restart but was dead. I couldn't turn it on. Until randomly it turned some minutes later. I have not yet done a soft or hard reset and i am backing up my phone as we speak.
Is this a common issue with the S6 Edge??? What could be happening??? My phone had these applications and emulators installed since a month ago and i never had any issues. I bought it out from Amazon.
What should i try? I think it can be conflicting apps.
Thanks.

I forgot to mention that the phone gets extremely hot at the upper right hand corner. I just noticed this.
it restarted in safe mode, i'm going to try it again.... tomorrow and see if it restarts in safe mode.
I'm afraid you have waaaay too many apps on it which never close, causing the phone to overheat as it's never really resting.
I just re erased the partition cache and its been working fine for a day. Ill wait 3 days and see if its cured !
No, my phone kept on dying... Samsung told me it was defective, amazon issued a full refund for $800.
