Title pretty much says it all. Slapped on my Dbrand today so I really notice it more. My phone is always hot. I don't game or do anything CPU intensive. Anyone know a way to identify the issue? Is it an app or is it the phone. Anyone else find their phone unusually warm?

Are you using or while it's charging? Also how covered is your phone while using it? Using it outside in direct sunlight?
Mine doesn't even get warm while using it. In direct sunlight it does get a little warm.

Negative on the using while charging. Sometimes I jump in and out of apps and it gets super hot out of the blue. But after I posted the question I did a power cycle and it been ok ever since. That's why I was asking if there was an app I cod use to find what's causing the issue.

I do. Just popped my SD card in. How do you think it's related. Should I format it and start fresh?
i have the same problem in my Exynos Note 9 , and i have SD Card too . i need a solution
I don't have any heating issues, the most heat I felt during playing Fortnite but that wasn't hot just kind of warm. Usually the phone does not even get lukewarm at all even during most games. I have the Exynos variant. Maybe a factory reset could solve the warming issue, but before try the Accubattery app, that might tell you what causing the issue because probably one app is draining the battery.

I found my previous note series devices always got hot when SD card was inserted or removed initially. This time around I inmounted it using the option in settings and then put it inside my new note. Also I heard faulty or fake sd cards can cause issues like this .

Pressing on a certain spot of the screen (about 1/3 of the way from the top) makes an audible click and I can kind of feel it under my thumb too. I've had the phone for less than a week and it seems to work fine otherwise. I'll bring it into the Sony store on Monday to see what they say.
What could it be? Does this happen to anyone else? Do you think it's worth getting fixed?

How did you find out about this problem? Did you read about it somewhere and decided to try pressing your screen as well?
I'm pretty sure you'd never have found out about it during normal usage. Or did you randomly think to yourself "hey, I should really press my new phone's screen unusually hard and see if it make any noises" ?

I posted a thread about it a couple of days ago but should have mentionned it here as well that my phone wouldn't turn on after sleeping with it. I was checking for damage and I noticed this and assumed it was related. Though looking back, I'm pretty sure it was an unrelated software malfunction (kernel panic?), mainly because the battery kept draining during that time. It was at 60% when it was seemingly bricked (wouldn't even react to being plugged into multiple chargers and computers). then 24 hours later it magically let itself get charged, but for some reason was completely discharged at 0%. Everything worked normally from then on.

I'm a little worried about screen rigidity. After reading the other post about pressing the screen and seeing a rainbow and then seeing a YouTube video about a popping sound when you press on the screen. Hope Sony didn't go cheap here.

I've ordered a nillkin tempered glass + back screen protector as well. I'm waiting for it to be delivered in two weeks at most.
Anyways thanks for your answer. This problem, do you know if it happens to all device or just some? I have already tried putting it in water and it worked out just fine. Thanks again.
Seems like they all do this sound
I purchased my Z3 yesterday and I also noticed this weird sound while I was putting the case on. So today I went back to the store to see if it was just mine.
I tested 4 different Z3 with the dude a the sony store and they all seem to be doing the same sound at the same spot. However i still got mine replaced for one that seemed a little better than the others.
So yeah it looks like it's normal...
Guess what? I found the same issue somehow couple of weeks back and thought it was weird. I wasnt trying to test anything specifically and just clicking on phone for something at that time and heard the noise. So I did some more checks and saw it happening on the top half of the screen only.
Mind does the same thing. I bought it yesterday and noticed it this morning...hopefully it isn't something that I need to return it for.

They all do it, z3 and z3 compact. I tested 4 different z3 and 2 z3 compact at the sony store when I went to get an exchange for mine.
I took one which seemed a little less worst, but still do it.
I'm probably gonna buy a tempered glass, it might help lessen the default.

I have also had this issue. Thought it was my imagination as it has been very hot lately, then realized my phone gets very warm in pockets for some reason.
its happens in my front pocket no mater if its shorts or slack it start to get hot with in 4 to 5 minutes. Then I just carry it in my hand. I'm not rooted so its all stock. I have not gotten the notification for the update yet but I hope it fixes this problem. I think it has something to do with the excessive movement of the gyroscope triggering some action or process. still happening.

I have disabled many apps that I didn't need and one of these apps is LG Health - could it be that this app as you mentioned uses sensors to update the app's info when phone moves?

I don't have root. Go to phone settings>apps>swipe left until you get to "All" category, then scroll to LG Health Agent and you should be able to disable it.

This happens to me, just noticed it today wearing gymshorts at work. But it only happened when the screen was toward my body, if I faced it away from me it was fine... Weird.
Probably friction. I just got 2 G4 phones Friday night and no issues so far. Been on mine constantly and the only time it got warm was when i was using navigation in Denver yesterday. This thing stays cooler than my note4.

That's was happening to me to. Disable the LG health app as few post before and it should stop it. This worked for me and you don't need to be rooted to disable apps. One note is that there are 2 LG Heath apps running 1 you can force stop and the other you can disable.
Was at a block party all day yesterday and I noticed my phone never got hot after disabling the LG health app.
Hope this helps

Rooted lg health app completely deleted :/ as for the mods I had it did it before and after I rooted so no mods still had issues. The weird part is it's instant. Like I can take the battery out for a half hour put it in turn the phone on and put it in my pocket screen facing in and it's hot till it completely boots. But the phone itself doesn't feel hot when I pull it out. It's the weirdest thing.

I know you completely deleted the LG health app. But from what I remember there are 2 LG health apps running I force stopped one and the other I disabled, don't remember the exact app names but both apps were next to each other. so just double check and make sure both LG Health are gone from your "ALL" apps view.
You can check under Settings > General > Apps >swipe 3 times to the left till you reach ALL and go down and make sure none of the 2 LG health apps is running.

I think you should try and get it replaced for a new one. I picked two brand new ones from T-Mobile on Friday night and have not had any issues with them. My wife is constantly on hers but not such a "heavy" user like me. I tried replicating the issue you're experiencing but it just doesn't get hot. Even from my usage it just feels warm like most phones so. Surprisingly this thing stays cooler than my Note 4. Way cooler! Makes me wonder how come so many people that own the G4 have issues with heat. I guess the Note 4 is hotter? I do know we used to have to figure out ways to keep the Note 4 cool on first boot because it would get so hot. Few folks actually had to put theirs in the fridge just so it could boot.
Since doing a full 10N update, with wifi on in my pocket it gets warm. I also use LG health and Google Fit. But not until I turned off wifi did it start cooling down.
In the last few days I've noticed that when turning on my screen that I'm forced to put in my PIN, which it says it always does after a reboot/startup. But I didn't reboot the phone myself.
Has anyone else noticed this? I wonder if this has anything to do with the Contacts app issue for int'l XP phones using a T-Mobile SIM card, or something else? It may just be that an app I have was malfunctioning (I did have issues with Chrome earlier right before this new auto reboot occurred), and that's what may have caused it.
Please let me know what you think. Also, PLEASE mention in your post which carrier you have, and also which region you got your phone from. For example, my int'l XP is from Hong Kong, so on the box there's a "ZH", which I guess is the Hong Kong version. You may also have an "HK" too. The Taiwan one says "TW" I believe.
Thanks!
Haven't experienced this issue. I'm using an x performance f8132 hk version.
I just experienced this for the first time yesterday. I updated Playstation Video, which now has the ability to download purchased content. I was downloading my movies to my SD card (35 of them) and the phone rebooted several times. It hasn't happened since. I'm on AT&T with a HK sourced device. I'm thinking this app update may have been causing my problem. I'll follow up in the next few days if I experience any other reboots.

Ok cool. Yeah you have the same one I do. It's marked "ZH & EN", but I believe ZH is still the Hong Kong version.

Hey Augie,
Hmm ok. You might be right!
I thought it was because I was using one of those apps that lets you enable "Night Vision" for easier nighttime reading. Some kind of issue with the "screen overlay". So I disabled "screen overlay" for that app and SO FAR it's been fine. You wouldn't happen to have an app like that would you (i.e. Blue Light Filter For Eye Care, Lux, etc)??
I didn't use Playstation app. Just disabled it actually, so I don't know if your problem and mine was the same? Mine would just reboot randomly, never repeatedly over and over at the same time.
Yeah mine is from Hong Kong too. Says ZH on the side, but I believe someone on here said that's still China.
Yes please do. I will too on Monday.
Thanks!!
No screen overlays here. I've used the phone for all kinds of things today without replicating the problem. I'm guessing a certain amount of non-response time from something running triggers a reset. I'll report if it reoccurs.

Augie,
Ok. That's good. I had also cleared not all the caches for all my apps but the "preferences", which is a setting in Apps menu in Settings. Then I rebooted. Not sure if that helped but I think for me it was the Screen Overlay issue. But it COULD'VE also been Playstation for all I know? Then again, this had been happening for last 3-5 days, so if Playstation app update just came in yesterday, then I doubt it was that.
Thanks! Please do. I will too on Monday.
I have not experienced random reboots yet. They could happen from battery saving apps like 360 though

I uninstalled 360 from my phone several days ago as even though it worked on the Z5 and Z3 (and initially it SEEMED to work on my 1st XP), I can see it no longer is working on the XP, so it's not that.
Since clearing all the preferences on all the apps and also disabling the screen overlay on my one "night vision" app, the problem has so far not reoccurred any more (knock on wood!). I am trying out a different app very similar to 360 though on my phone called Hibernation Manager. I'm going to test it tonight/overnight to see how it does, and will report here tomorrow. I'm not holding my breath, but can't hurt to try it. Earlier today I gave it a good 2 hours and the percentage stayed the same during that time (100%), so there's potential I guess.
Update: Forget what I said above. See this updated post instead.

Yeah Hibernation Master didn't work either. Greenify says it will only work automatically if I remove my fingerprint security and use "pull-up gesture" to unlock the phone. No thanks. lol Not sure what other good apps are out there that would work?
It's now been 2 days since I cleared the preferences of all my apps and turned off that Screen Overlay on that "night vision" app I had, and SO FAR (again knock on wood lol) it's been working fine. If by Monday it's still fine, I will consider this case (and thread) closed. lol

Great.......so it restarted again about 20 minutes ago. I go to unlock screen and it says PIN required after startup. I had NOT restarted it since this morning.
What do you guys think? I was thinking about e-mailing the Amazon seller (NGP) and seeing if they have any Taiwanese models (TW) available. Was thinking maybe this had something to do with the stupid T-Mobile SIM stock Contacts app issue.

Hey guys. I'm on the unbranded, unlocked Snapdragon Note 9 on Metro. I am constantly having high amounts of battery drain from the PHONE app. Has anyone else experienced this? Any solution?
What's under additional info on that screenshot? Is it built in samsung phone app?
Wait... these things have a PHONE in them?! You mean like actually TALKING to another human being?

I have not had a problem with the phone app using a large amount of battery. Is is the native phone app that comes with the phone or an alternate? I personally turn off the stock app with package disabler and use a modded pixel phone app which I like a lot more. Have you tried the standards of wiping the cache, etc.?

By the looks of it, no. I'm also in NYC, although on Tmobile (which runs Metro PCS). You didn't mention a couple things. You said you are unbranded, is that how the phone came or did you manually install the unbranded firmware. Did you buy the phone new, in box? Is your phone app perhaps spending its time looking for something that your phone does not have installed (if you manually flashed a different firmware)? What sort of location features do you have enabled in the phone app itself? Have you had this issue since the beginning, if not, how long. Can you relate it to anything that happened or anything you may have done? I am honestly just guessing here and trying to maybe steer the conversation to a culprit, I've never had this issue.

Samsung + notified me of this behavior on two occasions and it hasn't happened again since I created this thread. I use the stock Samsung phone app. I honestly don't know what caused it but I'm happy it's not still going on
I am using my phone not for gaming, just web searching Brightness set to auto, not currently charging and Its 82f here in Chicago while I am in my car and the phone is reading 43C. Is that normal I can feel the screen and back of phone warm.
I've been watching ESPN and YouTube videos for about an hour or so and I can't feel it warmed up at all. Ex kernel manager shows CPU at 34°C. I was outside and it's 78° here right now.
Just sitting here looking through forums.

Battery usage. I stopped using YouTube about an hour ago.
Look how much current it's drawing with screen just on.
This phone stinks
I took the train today so I didn't use maps. I'll be driving tomorrow so I'll get a chance to see what using maps will do to my temps. This thing is liquid cooled so this shouldn't be getting hot like that unless they have the warning threshold set to low.
I have a screen issue that's not aligned correctly and now this thing is getting hot. It's going back. I don't know wether to buy a new one or go through RMA hell. Had to do that with my 6T and OnePlus is giving a bad taste in my mouth.
This is abnormal, meaning this isn't the case with every device. I haven't had a single heating issue - it could also be cause by a 3rd party app. You'll have to do a root cause through process of elimination to determine if it's the actual device.

I am not going to bother. It has a screen issue so I don't need to try and figure this issue too. So dissatisfied.
Yikes some really high temps ITT. Maybe a sensor issue?
For those getting 40C+ temps with light usage, does it feel warm?

I saw your post about the asymmetry of the bezels. Not surprised that you are the only person with these issues. RMA would be my suggestion, but just return if you want/need a faster solution.

There RMA is the worst. I have the 12gb version so it's on back order.

Could be one of your apps causing it. If you're rooted you could run top in a terminal and see what's going on. Did you recently transfer a ton of media to it, possibly it could be the media scanner. But I would definitely figure out what's going on because those temps aren't normal and will affect your battery health long term.
I haven't had mine get hot yet.
Temps on mine. My Pixel 2 XL got much warmer.
Sounds like yours is just hot blooded. Bummer.

Not rooted. Did not transfer anything. Already boxed it up and ready to ship back. Back to my 6T. I don't have any luck with OnePlus.

For those who can purchase outright, this is probably the only benefit of getting from T-Mobile.
But...you have the 12GB version. Not an option for you, I guess.

Taxes too are a benefit when buying online.

I know. But how much is peace of mind worth? At least you have a face to hold responsible (figuratively and literally...although, I don't suggest the literal).
