Wife and my self both have att s7 phones and over the last two days they both have said charging stopped because internal temp to high and will resume after cooling down. First time I noticed mine I was using a charger in my truck, hers was on a wireless charger. But I took mine out of my lifeproof and it was so hot I couldn't hold it but a second or two at a time.
Is their anyone else having these issues? I have had a s7 since release date and up until this week I've never seen this. I always worked outside in extreme heat and phones always on belt clip or pocket. Wife's just has a simple thin case and nothing like my lifeproof.
Help still overheating

Started to use the orb. Noticed two issues.
1. phone doesn't charge full when on the orb. i had my old nexus 4 exchanged because of gps issue, but the new one charge even less than the old one overnight, which sucks.
2. phone get's really hot when on the wireless orb. i did not notice the old phone getting this hot on the orb.
does anyone else have these issues? Thanks
by nature, all wireless charging creates heat, mine gets pretty warm, but nowhere near what would cause damage. are you making sure the orb is centered on the bottom half of the phone? mine seems to work better doing that vs having it in the exact middle of the phone
Mine only gets warm when charging from a low battery AND having the screen on at the same time. Otherwise its not noticeably warm.
My phone has serious temperature problems... If I surf in the internet and Facebook then my S4 is almost always at 40°C . When playing games then it can reach over 60°C (where the CPU is under the screen, measured with optical IR thermometer) It randomly starts heating up in my pocket till it is so hot that I cant hold it in there anymore.
Battery life is around 8 hours with LIGHT use!
I bought my S4 on first may and that problem appeared after summer holiday.
In November I sent it to warranty, It took them like 20 days and they did basically nothing to it. I haven't had any time to send it back there because I need my phone.
Yesterday I put it in a warm glove mining Dogecoins using AndroMine (android CPU/GPUminer) with charger connected
After 15 minutes it was at 67°C and battery was down to 30% form 97%. About 5 minutes later I heard a vibration, it had turned off and it didn't boot anymore. I was very happy, because I thought I manged to burn it down. Unfortunately it booted after cooling down . Now the battery life is even worse...
I'm thinking of putting it mining in oven... oven at 50°C I know that S4 has temperature protections but sill it might work. And the battery inside definitely doesn't like heat, so it might pop .
If I mange to burn it then I will get warranty replacement!
All crazy ideas to burn it down are welcome !!!
Sounds like a defective battery. See this thread

The thing is that my battery serial is YS1D420JS/2-B
And how can defective battery make phone become hotter?
A few weeks ago I noticed my phone wasn't charging at night. At first I assumed it was either my charger or charging cable as their both cheap ones from Amazon. But using my Anker battery pack or the stock charger setup didn't help. Then I noticed on nights it wasn't too cold, it would charge just fine. At night I like to sleep with my room being as cold as possible and here in north Texas it's been getting into the low teens. The phone not charging at night isn't a huge deal as I can just charge in the morning after the phone has been in my pocket for a while. I'm just wondering if anybody else has experienced something like this. I can't find any info on the S7 or S7 Edge, only the S6. And I'm not getting any notifications that say the battery temp is too low or anything like that, it just doesn't charge.
I'm pretty sure there isnt a battery temp too low warning lol. I only know these batteries likes to be charged when its warm cause it allows it to charge faster. Anyone want to put their phone in the freezer and try it?
galaxy S8 too cold won't charge
I am a 3rd party phone repair technician, I had two Galaxy S8+'s come in today with the same issue you described.
They won't turn on with the charger plugged in and if they are on they display a message about the battery being too cold and won't charge.
We have had the same issue on s6 and s7's that have been water damaged however cleaning the board with distilled water and ultrasound to blast minerals off fixes it.
The part that stumps me with the s8+ is both phones are not water damaged and have never been exposed to moisture...
A new battery does not fix the issue and the charge port and other components are immaculately clean.
If anyone has a solution for this issue that seems to effect the S6,7, and 8's I would be very interested.
Making this out of curiosity sake. YMMV obviously individually, but was reading LG's Facebook (it came up as a sponsored link) and there's some people mentioning the phone getting so hot it burns. There is also mentions of glass cracking (presumably from heat?) and there's a picture of charger cable nuked on Imgur...
I almost never read FB but I need it for business. I only saw the comments when reading the LG sponsored links. I really only read XDA/reddit but seeing the amount of comments spread across several posts. I was more surprised to have not seen it here with the complaints of the camera lens cracking...
Anyway, here is the imgur post if you're curious:

The only thing I've noticed is when charging my phone gets massively hot. I thought my S5 was hot... but this one has been noticeable to the point it's almost a bit concerning. So it was weird I'd been noticing this lately and then to read the posts, I'm like... well, there might be something to that. But more curious if others had noticed anything peculiar than concerned atm... My laptop charger gets stupid hot too, but it hasn't melted yet so I guess it just depends on different variables.
It's only when charging though. It is too hot to hold when it's at it's worst so I have to "fan" it out. Anyway, they make these things so temperamental (literally) now...
Edit: Restructured my post
Multi-year lurker, first time posting.
I saw this photo yesterday and it's certainly a concern. I mean, it was so hot the plastic melted onto his skin However, the imgur's OP doesn't show what charger was being used.
I've only had the phone for a couple of days, but so far I've charged two of these LG G6 phones with a variety of chargers and cables. I've used the original charger, computers, car chargers, multi-port chargers, and a wireless charging pad (with both the original cable and 3rd party cables) and not once it's gotten anywhere near hot.
Just one thought - the only thing I can think of that would contribute to the crazy heat is the fast charging capabilities. That is one thing I have not done - use the included charger to charge the phone directly. The one thing I use it for is to power the wireless charging pad. So that might account for the fact that I haven't experienced this crazy heat you're experiencing. Charged my phone with the fast charger and it remained cool as a cucumber, even inside a full cover case. YMMV
I have left the fast charger supplied with the phone plugged in for hours. Never got hot. Software controls it. It will get warm as any processor does during use so any software using the processor can heat up the phone. I have not experienced any abnormal heat issues. I known the old Samsung wojkd darn near give me 3rd degree burns it would get so hot, but the G6 is the coolest running phone I've had in a long time. YMMV

The only time I notice it get warm on the back side of the phone while charging is while I'm using it at the same time. Not burn your hands warm, but toasty. I do leave it plugged in and turned on as a bedside clock but I haven't noticed it get hot just from that. It's only when I'm multitasking or watching YouTube or Netflix. But these fast chargers do concern me a bit. My Nexus 6 had micro usb fast charging and I noticed the battery life degraded horribly just after about 2 years of using the phone. That was the one thing I liked about the S7 I traded in for the G6 was that you were able to go into the system settings and turn off fast charge. That should be an option on all phones equipped with fast charge capabilities.
Hi, I usually leave my phone under my pillow overnight, I know it's not the best idea, but I have being doing this since I have a smartphone.
The problem is that when I wake up my phone is very very hot.
Just to clarify I don't charge my phone overnight, I know that generates heat.
A phone doing nothing should not generate heat, I am very dissatisfied with that
So you think my phone is faulty? Do this happens to you?
Inappropriate post removed
Well, mine does heat up too when I play games or charge it. If you bought it new, expect it to get slightly more hot during charging for first few days.. atleast thats what happens to me. After few days, software updates etc your phone should not heat so much that you cant hold it in your hand. Also, the phone is made up of glass and metal so it does feels more warm than lower end devices like A50, A7 etc
