Samsung s6 starts to heat up when using mobile data
Possibly a third party app might cause your Galaxy S6 getting overheated.
To check this you can start your phone in Safe Mode.
Safe Mode = its most basic state,
i.e. the time you purchased it and with no apps installed by you.
In general:
Keep the device updated with the latest software.
Deactivate the Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth features when not using them.
Close apps that increase battery consumption or that run in the background when not in use.
Delete unnecessary files or unused apps.
Found your solution, then please let me know !

I love my Captivate but 2 things bother me.
1) Why does the music player start every time I unplug the wired headset? I've tested and it's not running BEFORE I plug the headset in.
2) Why do so many apps automatically start in the background? I will use Process Killer to bring it down to 1 or 2 apps running and next thing I know, there are 7 or 8 and I haven't started any of them! This especially bothers me with the AT&t bloatware apps that cost extra to use.
Any info/fixes would be appreciated!

1) I have never heard of this happening to anyone before
2) there are allot of applications and processes that have dependencies on other applications and processes - they will need to be running for your phone to operate properly.
Don't fall into the idea that you need to manage the memory on your android phone the same way you would a windows machine. unless you have installed a bad acting or poorly coded application your android phone will shut down what ever processes need shut when they need shut down all on its own.
The only reason you should use or need any kind of task manager or task killer is to check every now and then to see if you do have a bad acting memory/cpu hog causing problems. too many people use task killers have them running in auto without knowing what they are doing and a dependent needed processes get killed and they can't figure out why their phone acts so buggy.
Thanks for the reply

Well then, Youtube running for no apparent reason at all would be a dependancy of exactly what?
Maybe the only reason YOU would need a task killer is what you stated above, I am using it to see what's going on on my phone and if I am in danger of ending up with charges I'm not willing to pay for. But thanks for the reply.

Using it to watch what your phone is doing learn what's going on is a good idea - but I would avoid shutting anything down until you do know why or what process started it - if you shut them down without knowing why they are running then you will continue to see them restarted for apparently no reason.
As for youtube, if you had been recently browsing the web one of the pages you visited may of contained a link to a file your phone has associated with youtube. Also you may have installed some app that triggers youtube, but just killing it without knowing why it is running may keep you from finding out what is going on and cause some other unexplained strange bug.
I have seen more than one person have their phone go from being buggy to running well when they stopped killing processes and turned off any auto killing functions of their task killer/manager and just watched their phone run for a couple days while letting the phone handle shutting processes down.
But as far as watching your phone closely and learning what it is doing, I am all for this - at the same time I don't want to be promoting paranoid behavior - but being informed and having a good idea what's going on with your phone wil definitely make you more capable of trouble shooting if and when the need arises.
And just be sure to check you bill every month and see what your being billed.
I found that removing the AT&T bloat to be almost mandatory to have a great running phone.
Couple that with the custom ROM's found here - and the device is awesome. I have no need to kill any processes. I do open up System Monitor to see what is going on with the device - but that is the beauty of Android - you can actually see EVERYTHING that is running on it.. and based on any errant process - you can kill it.
But.. there are a million articles on if Task Killers are a benefit or a hindrance to your phone's battery life and performance.
Bottom Line - be smart with your phone like your computer... don't download a bunch of crap, watch where you browse, and keep an eye on your sys monitor to see how your phone is behaving.

Joe, where is the System Monitor?
I've not come up with the nads yet to root the phone and remove the bloat. I'm not in any hurry, the phone runs great. As I tried to explain before, I'm curious as to why these applications end up running at random, without my even touching the phone. I will clear all apps from running and lay the phone down and not touch it. On my last look, 2 messaging apps were running, Youtube, AT&T Navigator, Where's my Droid and Gallery. Bear in mind, I had not touched the phone. I just cleared it again and will look after bit to see what has started.
I am also looking for any theories as to why my music player starts when I pull the headset out from being on a phone call.
Although appreciated, I am not looking for opinions on what I should and shouldn't be doing with my phone.
Lol. I just to trying a piece of advice - I know it is your phone and you can do with it what you please.
But go ahead and keep killing processes without knowing what your doing and see if you have more or less strange buggy behavior.
FYI - messaging apps are generally coded to almost continually sync in the background - to see if you have any new messages and will restart every time you stop them - if you want to know instantly of any new messages they will have to run
Att navigator - att is trying to shove this app on you so they have it set to start any time your phone starts any locating process - and your phone will almost continually be trying to figure out its location
Wheres my droid - is either trying to figure out where it is or preparing to figure out where is to be ready to let you know when you ask - if this program did not have something triggering it to keep it running all the time it would be a pretty useless piece of software don't you think
Gallery - pretty much any media syncing process wil start gallery - and allot of media processes have some type of background media sync process
As for youtube - I'm not sure yet
I hav rooted and even removed some bloatware to make my note fast enough... i just wanted to whether you guys did something to speed up your galaxy note boot time.. any app suggestions??
Do you always reboot your note?

Iol.. i dont... but i am in love with my device.. its fast and zippy... just wanted to make it close to perfect... and i do work long shift hours as i m a med interns..so i switch off my phone when not needed to save battery when its low and switch it on in between to check if i got any calls or messages.. so it will be convenient if there are some app which people use to prevent some apps from starting on boot.. i know there are apps like autostart.. but its too complicated for me.. so just wanted to know if there are more apps simpler or how to use it
Well guys a phone with so much of features, if demands a lil more time to start up to give up ultimate power, so let not worry for the same and keep on enjoying the true power of the same
like what i did with my PC, i always manage the start-ups... you can do it via ES task manager with root permission... aside from deleting bloatware, there are still some unnecessary apps resting @ your start-up... just disable some of those, you can experiment on what to disable; you can easily enable it again if something goes wrong...
How long is your boot time?
I think the galaxy note boots up incredibly fast. 30 seconds.
It's linux, for crying out loud.
My Mytouch 4g takes 4 MINUTES. Now that was an eternity.

It's the fastest booting phone I've had and I've had many. Only time I've had a phone boot faster is running aosp roms. I am rooted and o'clocked though too
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
What all have u disabled ?\
can we have a list of the same
My phone boots up pretty fast though I have never tried timing it. I use Gemini App Manager to prevent some apps from opening in the background. I also regularly clean my rooted phone by either using 1Tap Cleaner or going into Recovery mode to clear the cache and dalvik cache.
There is a really nifty pair of programs called live logcat and live dmesg
that show you the logcat and dmesg files during bootup.
If you are booting really slowly for some reason, you can see what is slowing you down. On my mytouch 4g it did some sort of memory allocation for each program I installed, and there would be a slight pause each time it did this. This really really added up after a while.

I have been using the note 3 4G since 3 weeks now and everything works smoothly apart from the lag that present in different situations and I can conclude those situations right now to share it with you guys so we can have the best experience out of this device.
The apps that has been lagging for me yet are:
1- Facebook Messenger: the lag is in the pop up animation when the app notifies you on the screen and sometimes it doesn't lag.
2- Google Play: its always lagging but this is due to the caching process while you load the list of items it takes a while to show up the related icons and stuff so this is the cause of lagging.
3- While you are working with downloads and installations its always lagging in any situation. Transitions, using other apps and so on.
4- When you browse the internet sometimes it lags.
I think the lag is not due to the hardware quality and those stuff that people are considering. I think its a matter of 1 or a combination of the following:
1- The CPU.
2- RAM Management
3- GPU.
and this is because if you restarted the device you will be able to use it lag free for a while.
My best practice with the battery is that I use it always down to 2%, shutdown the phone totally and leave it in the charger, never overcharge it I don't trust the way Samsung handles that and then use it all day long with everything working like a charm.
Some solutions are about the developer options and turning on animations but I think its just to hide the lag not to remove it so I don't do it. I always clean up the cache, Removing all unwanted applications, games and useless background services and using the task manager to end unwanted running applications from time to time. If you do so I guarantee you the best user experience with you Note 3
I will be reporting all issues for you and hope that the next 4.4.2 update handles all this sh*t

Hello, I smashed the screen on my SM-T815 so have replaced it with a SM T819. Have just finished setting it up and notice that when I try to optimize it using Device Maintenance, the best I can get is 90% as opposed to 100% on my previous Tab. After showing 90% it tries to get me to launch Virus scanning by McAfee. I hate McAfee and already have Bitdefender installed. I don't remember agreeing to this on my last Tab, but might have done? Do you think it is this McAfee virus scanning that is stopping the optimization at 90%?
Yes it does, you don't need this optimization btw.If you want bit of optimization you need custom kernel not this junk no action button, but there are of course no kernels for these rare models.
It's been almost 4 months since I bought my Samsung S20 FE (4G Snapdragon Version). Since then I've had some issues with the phone heating up while doing light stuff on it. I've asked for help before here on the forum and you guys helped me reduce this issue, but while talking with other people who own the same device as me, and that don't have this issue, it was suggested to me that I should try to factory reset the phone.
I've done this before, but since then I've heard that both the Smart Switch and Google Backup can cause overheating and battery issues, while others say that I should use the Smart Switch because only Google Backup can cause this kind of issue.
In your guys opinion and experience, what is the best way to factory reset and restore the phone while avoiding those issues? Smart Switch, Google Backup, or simply backing up the apks using something like Alpha Backup (or any other backup app that you guys find more useful) and starting from scratch?
Thanks in advance.
Try clearing the system cache.
Toggle off any power management settings you enabled in Device Care, only fast charging should be enabled.
Do not use any power management; deal with power hogs directly on a case by case basis.
The reason you're doing a factory reset is to purge bad settings, apps or malware.
If you used SmartSwitch for apps it may be the cause. Don't.
You can use ApkExport to make installable copies of all your apps less data. No Playstore is then needed.
It's usually better to find the root cause rather than do a factory reset. If was a bad load, a boot loop or malware, factory reset*... and don't repeat the mistake. Correct the mistake without a factory reset if possible; you want to ID the cause of the issue if at all possible to prevent doing it again... and again.
*if you did a major firmware upgrade ie 11 to 12, factory reset.

Well, I tried just about everything with this phone.
Using with both power management settings on and off, with or without Good Lock modules, with the refresh rate set on 60/120hz, with Power Saving mode on and off, with Game Optimizing Service enabled and disabled, etc.
But I can't find the root cause of this issue.
I only play light games like Clash of Clans, only occasionally playing Honkai Impact. But the device heats up nonetheless.
I know that it's summer right now and that the weather her gets really, really hot. But I don't think it's normal to feel the heat of the phone while watching a video on YouTube while people on other cities that are also really hot during summer play games like Genshin Impact or Asphalt and feel it heating up just a little bit.
I will try to wipe the cache and wait until Android 12 gets released to change my CSC (I'm on a carrier ROM and would like to change to the default Brazilian CSC) so I don't have to wipe and restore everything twice. Meanwhile I'll keep an eye out for anything that could be causing this issue.
Thank you very much.
Set Power Saving to optimized, not an issue.
Good lock is normally no issue.
Cloud apps are. FB, WhatsApp, Twitter, etc are trashware... take out the trash.
Try temporarily disabling Google play Services and see how it does. Disable find my device first as a System Administrator.
Use Accubattery to track battery SOT with its history log. Use a damp microfiber cloth to cool in hot weather or when charging in hot weather.
Find what's draining it.
It's not uncommon.
My N10+ was a hot running battery super hog... not any more. It gets 7-13%@hr SOT, >.5%@hr at night with tap on AOD active.
If your SOT at idle or using the browser (excluding vids) is greater than 10%@hr, you got some witch hunting to do.
