[Q] Note 4 overheating problem. - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello there,
So I recently bought a new Note 4 and I'm suffering from issues like overheating. I don't know why it overheats. I don't play any games in it, just a formal use. Any solutions to resolve it?
Regards,
Preet.

do a complete wipe. or delete all folders inside 'android' folder in your sd card and external sd.

Cool buy is right.
Get a backup using kies and reset ur phone completely and return back yr backup.

Do you have an Ext SD Card installed?
I had similar problem after I transferred some apps to Ext SD.
If you have Ext SD installed try to remove it and see if it works fine.
Of course apps from Ext SD will not be functioning.
looks like i joined this club 2 days ago
will try the apps removing option if it recurrs.
Switching Off even there is no SD Card
I've same problem with my Galaxy Note too. It was happening on the device before and O2 replaced with a new one and still I have same problem. (2-3 times a week) So it may not be device specific. It's unrooted and there is no SD card. Is it better rooted? On stock UK O2 Rom (updated).

help or advice needed!! my s4 "touch is not responding"

i have an s4, and after lots of days with suffering with me!! one night the touch stopped responding and everything i click on the screen wasnt recorded or captures!... i took it to a repair shop he said the "touch" in my s4 is damaged and needs to be replaced and costs 250$ !!
PS: the VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN, BACK and option and HOME and TURN OFF/ON keys are still working
connecting the S4 to PC will not allow me to see anything in the phone because there is my pattern lock which i cannot remove due to touch damage
now my question
before replacing the s4 with a touch part, is there anyway i can transfer everything i have in the internet SDcard to my PC??
i am sure i have around 10GB full in that SDcard and i need them (images, videos, songs, contacts, some apps)
i need the experts to give me a workaround to make me recover my data without having to pay for a touch part!
i am able to access recovery mode! and i can see several stuffs like root ur phone, backup and recover and mount etc...
i tried using my 2GB external sd to backup to an external sdcard but after a while it says error copying /system, i go to the external sd and i see it full but the data are like System APK files and not my images videos or data in it!!
if there is an easy solution plz tell me, or give me an idea about methods to workaround with it!
thank u
its a galaxy S4 i9500 rooted
I think you can use kies to get your media off your device. Helium can also do complete backups with or without rooting.

kies says the phone is locked with a pattern lock and it should be unlocked before it can show my data!! and i guess helium too since i am not able to control my phone
nothing to worried about. just replace that part. internal storage will remain as its.
Try work with mouse on your phone

if you are able to access recovery, just make a backup of your rom on your sd card, and take out the sd card before sending it for repairs, when it comes back you can restore from the backup u made earlier.

Custom System Status with no Root?

How is it possible to have a custom system status if I did not root my phone? I tried to do a check for a software update, and it says "your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." I have not rooted my phone, so I'm not sure how the system could be "custom". I checked the Knox kernel and warranty void, both are 0x0. Any ideas?
UPDATE: I unmounted and removed my sd card, restarted the phone and it's fine. This is the same sd card that I used in my rooted Note2. I wonder if there's something left over that's making the Note 3 think it's rooted....

It works until you reinsert the sd card and reboot. I'm not sure what on the sd card is making it think it's rooted. I think I will try wiping my sd card. Will report back.
UPDATE: Ok, wiping the sd card works.
its because you have a 64GB SD card...note sure why, but i had this issue since my S4 and still have it today on my note 3. It sucks but it will come back whenever you start putting stuff back on your SD, there is no way around this, i've been working on a thread in the S4 section and have over 300 replies but no one was able to fix this

You wont be able. I have tried so many times with help from dozens and it seems to be a 64gd specific problem

yes it looks like to be specific to a 64GB card...
but I've done a few tests one year ago on my S3 that also had the same problem...
it was working fine with a newly formatted card.
it was also working fine with a small amount of music file... but as soon as I filled my card (with at 5GB space left), it started to show custom status.
Today I found out that I had the same problem with my Note 3 when trying to detect/install the latest update. Sad to see that Samsung did not fix this problem.
it looks like that that process that scans the SD card at boot is causing some type of false identification...
I'm sure it would be an easy fix for Samsung... but you have to find someone to first understand this problem and work on it.
I've contacted Samsung support in the past and the only thing they told me was to use a 32GB card max.
I found something interesting today...
I synched around 50GB of music files today... And after a reboot, I got the custom device status. My sync folder had a few hundreds of files and subfolders.
I moved all the files in one unique folder and rebooted my device.
Boot was faster... Media scanner finished a lot faster... And device status was back to normal.
It's not a fix... But at least it's a work around that might help someone.

You're lucky because my music folder was always one folder on the SD and i always got custom status

SM-N900 issues with SD card and heating

Hi there, I've noticed that recently my Note3 (SM-N900) suddenly heats up. I also noticed there are issues with the SD Card don't know for sure that these issues are related but seems that could be, when the card gets disconnected until I reboot the phone.
My current SD Card is a Samsung 64GB (Class 10). Android Version: 4.3*

Their own cards?? ?

I've never had an issue with class 10 Sandisk 32 and 64GB cards, not in the S3, S4, Note3 or TF700t.... (except once, it got corrupted, I had to format it because I was too lazy to unmount it before ejecting every time... Learned my lesson!)
As for the heating, sounds like media server getting stuck on a corrupt file or a huge folder.
-Hook the card up to a pc, let windows explorer do a search for 0kb files. Under search settings>size, or type 'size:empty' (without the quotes) in the search bar. Delete any 0kb media files. (leave the nomedia, playlists and appfiles alone). Repeat process for the phone storage.
-Put a .nomedia file in every folder not containing music, video or pictures you need. You can copy an existing one from another folder.
-If you have a folder with over 1000 files, split them up or if it's not media, hide it with a nomedia file. (I have one folder with over 18.000 files, Mediaserver turned my phone into a grill trying to process it...)

Does this also happen if you remove the SD from the phone and hook it up to the pc with a cardreader?
Yes it's the same

From what I digested it looks like u had a failed card product. U may want to try with many other card's brands.
Hmm okay any suggestions of brands???? I mean which brand?

Are you using a custom recovery? If so, which one?
A factory reset will definitely resolve the problem, if nothing else works.
