Hello ladies and gentlemen. I have one question with one problem for you. I have samsung phone Galaxy Note4 with model number (SM-N910F) and with update 6.0.1. But this update is killing me, I belittle you, change this update. My phone was working very well before this update. As I updated to 6.0.1, It stopped working normally. It hangs very badly, turns off when you sit on the phone and turns on. And sometimes you have to wait 10 minutes if not more for it to turn on. I belittle you to change this update or fix the bug.. I swear I wanted to throw away this phone and buy myself an IPhon. Please help me solve the problem, thank you all very much for your understanding..

What to do when your Samsung phone gets hot and discharges quickly? What is the reason for the abnormal heating of the Android phone?

If your Samsung Galaxy phone gets warm after a few hours of use or while charging, this is normal. However, if it gets so hot that it becomes impossible to hold, then it is no longer normal. Something needs to be done about this. It is necessary to find out whether the problem is operating system or technical, then a specialist should take a look at the device.

In this post, I will tell you a couple of things that you should do if you notice that your phone is getting abnormally warm or even overheating.

This issue should not be underestimated as you may have heard how the Galaxy Note 7 rocked the community Android lovers and kept them on edge for months after reports of fires caused by the device's faulty battery. So, for the safety of readers, I offer some practical troubleshooting steps if your phone starts to heat up.

The purpose of this troubleshooting guide is to understand if there really is a problem with your phone and to make sure that you as the owner are safe. Again, this problem should not be taken lightly because overheating is most often caused by a battery that may not be working properly.

Batteries mobile phone can explode, and I personally encountered such a case. That being said, here's what you need to do...

Step 1: Unplug the charger and unplug it from the phone

If you are charging your device and notice that it is getting hotter than ever before, stop the charging process. We don't yet know if the problem is with the phone, the battery or the charger, but for your safety please stop charging your phone.

After unplugging your phone from the charger, continue to monitor the phone's temperature to know if it continues to get warm even though it's not charging anymore.

Step 2: Turn off your phone

If the temperature does not decrease after disconnecting the charger, turn off the phone to see if the temperature decreases. If it's still hot after a few minutes, then don't do anything to it and just take it back to the store and have a technician look at it.

Step 3: Charge your phone while power off

On the other hand, if the temperature drops after disconnecting the charger, then it is possible that the charger is only warming up when turned on while charging. Now you can try charging it while it's off to see if it's capable of replenishing the battery without getting too hot.

If many applications are running in background, the phone may become warm and charging it in this state will also contribute slightly to the heating. So, having found out that the phone charges normally when turned off, move on to the next step.

Step 4: Launch the phone app in safe mode and put it on charge

Now let's try to check if the Samsung can still charge without heating up when all third-party apps are temporarily disabled. Start your phone in Safe Mode this time and then connect the charger.

Charge your phone for 5 minutes and try to see if it is overheating. If the heating is within limits, then the problem could be caused by some applications that are running in the background. Try to see if you can do something with these apps. You may already have an idea of ​​which of your applications are causing the problem.

How to boot your phone in safe mode:

1. Turn off your device.
2. Press and hold the Power button.
3. When SAMSUNG appears on the screen, release the Power button.
4. Immediately after you release the Power key, press and hold the Volume Down key.
5. Continue holding the Volume Down key until the device finishes rebooting.
6. Safe Mode will be displayed in the lower left corner of the screen.
7. Release the Volume Down key when you see that it is on safe mode.
8. Remove apps that are causing problems.

Step 5: Reset your phone

Considering that the phone may still get warm even in Safe Mode, or if your phone still gets hot even if it is not charging, reboot it immediately to see if the problem is caused by system conflicts or certain features.

However, if possible, back up your files and data and then do a factory reset to avoid bricking your device after a reset.

Why does my Samsung Galaxy battery drain quickly?

1. Close all unused applications. This can be done using the Recent Apps button located to the left of the Home button. Additional available functions optimize automatic brightness your device.

2. You can also use additional function battery optimization located in settings. Switch to additional option and select “Optimize battery usage.” Here you can choose to optimize selected or all applications. Please note features that disable background and data synchronization when using this mode.

3. Turn off unwanted features such as Bluetooth or location mode. Check and disable location tracking - in case it is proprietary and the map app uses it, the battery will drain faster, in addition, your phone will constantly search for a GPS signal, which will cause heating.

It's better to keep it turned off when you're not using cards. Many other apps also tend to use location tracking, so it's best to turn it off to ensure higher energy savings and reduce the smartphone's heat.

4. Using 4G and 3G data for a longer period - when 3G or 4G data is continuously used by the smartphone, the processor and GPU work continuously, which causes heat.

5. Too many apps running at the same time – Sometimes too many apps are open on the smartphone, which can lead to heating due to unnecessary processes running in the background.

6. Check regularly for application updates and software. To do this, go to Play store, find “My Apps” and select update all. To check for operating system updates, go to settings and find the “Phone” tab, and then “System update”.

If all of the above methods failed to fix Samsung overheating, then the problem is not operating system, but in smartphone components. It is necessary to contact a service center to inspect the device malfunctions.

Overheating of gadgets is, unfortunately, not uncommon these days. Most flagship devices are guilty of this, and it doesn’t matter what tier the device is, and it’s clear why this happens: very powerful hardware is often hidden inside the case, but there is no cooling system as such, hence high temperatures. Now we will talk about solving this problem for Xiaomi smartphones.

If Xiaomi Redmi The Note 3 Pro gets very hot - the solution would be a banal firmware update, but everything is so simple because the company itself published data on complaints about heating, which is why we had to figure it out. According to the manager of the Indian office, the new software code will help the device correctly regulate processor frequencies, depending on the temperature of the chipset and battery. The update number, by the way, is V6.5.4.0 LXIMICD, and it weighs 804 megabytes, and is found not only for the smartphones mentioned above.

The second option is relevant if Xiaomi Mi4 is heated with installed MIUI 8 versions. To implement it, open the “battery” section, the “advanced” sub-item and disable application management, which will reduce the load on the processor, as a result, the same will happen with the temperature. Usually, this action solves the problem instantly, but it is worth remembering that after a reboot the function can be turned on again, which is why you will end up with a “piece of hell” in your hands, and this is true for any device running MIUI 8 version, not even from Xiaomi.

The following method can be used on any Android device, since it is associated with too much memory usage Google services. This “infection” loves to update itself “in the background”, using the network, processor and memory of the smartphone. It’s very easy to deal with it - in the settings Google account turns off automatic update applications, all unnecessary services, such as Play-movies, are stopped, after which the device will heat up much less.

General methods

To determine ways to solve problems, you need to determine the source of their occurrence. So, heating can be caused by the active use of networks, the use of heavy 3D applications, a long conversation on mobile communications, watching long videos high resolution, data exchange using various network technologies, long-term operation of the screen at full brightness, connecting a charger with a high power rating, and so on.

Such problems can be solved very simply: turn off for a few minutes everything that causes extreme temperatures in the case or front panel of the smartphone. Of course, if we talk about charging, you should simply put it on a flat surface that will not retain heat near the device, and it is best to choose something solid. A sofa or bed is a poor choice for this process as it will cause the temperature to rise, possibly causing the latter to fail.

Don't forget to use only original components for charging a gadget: Chinese analogues for 50 rubles from the transition can pose a hidden threat, in the form of mixed up contacts or poor-quality wire insulation, and the consequences of a short circuit during charging can be fatal for the phone. Of course, you need to remember about cheap cases: if you use non-thermally conductive cases, such as those made from leather, thick silicone, fur, then it is better to get rid of them, at least while charging or stress-using the device, which is why using branded accessories is so important .

Another reason, by the way, may be the use of large quantities background applications. The “curing” of such a problem couldn’t be easier: simply closing processes through the multitasking menu. Of course, only in 50-60 percent of cases a simple swipe can completely “remove” a certain process from the background. This situation requires only one action: stopping the task through the application menu, opened from the settings. You can also “cut out” this application using root rights, but this is a topic for another article.

conclusions

After all the operations performed, the heating of a working smartphone should decrease by 30-50 percent. If everything is the same - the device’s hardware is clearly “unhealthy”, it urgently needs to go to a service center, where it will be disassembled, tested, and then repaired if necessary.

Remember also about the features of some gadgets and their hardware: the 810 Snapdragon from Qualcomm, for example, will almost always heat up to 50-60 degrees, but no more, however, some manufacturers manage to make even the “real devil” of the industry “cold”.

UPD. Massive problem with overheating and discharging Xiaomi smartphones starting from 16.10.2018. We express our gratitude to the Xiaomi community and our readers who help and share solutions to problems.

Increased charge consumption and heating occurred due to the next update Google programs Duo. You need to remove updates from this program and disable automatic updates of Google services for a while (until the problem is corrected).

1. Go to settings;
2. Open "All applications";
3. We find “Duo” among them and move on;

1. At the bottom, click “Uninstall updates”;
2. We confirm;
3. Opening Google Play, go to the left menu;

1. Go to "Settings";
2. Open the item "Auto-update applications";
3. Select “Never” and confirm;

After this, it is advisable to restart the phone, the problem should be fixed. Most likely, Google will soon release a new update that fixes this glitch, and it will be possible to turn on auto-update again.

As we know, owners of Galaxy Note 4 phablets in the United States have not yet received Android update 5.0 Lollipop, but there are rumors that this should happen in the coming weeks.

In anticipation of this event, we would like to consider some common problems, found in version 4 KitKat on Galaxy Note 4 and offer you possible solutions.

At the end of last year, Samsung presented its new flagship phablet Galaxy Note 4 in Berlin. Initially, this device was being prepared to replace the previous flagship phablet from Samsung – Galaxy Note 3, and, I must say, it fully met the manufacturer’s expectations: already from the first weeks of sales of Note 4 quickly gained a leading position in the smartphone segment of the mobile market.

It is worth noting that when the Galaxy Note 4 first appeared on store shelves, it was the only Samsung gadget running under Android control 4.4.4 KitKat. Weeks later, this phablet remained in its previous status. Not much time will pass, and Note 4 will become one of the few devices from the Korean manufacturer to receive latest version Android 5.0 Lollipop with updated TouchWiz interface. However, some users will receive this version Android with a slight delay.

Interestingly, many Galaxy Note 4 users report stable Android work 4.4 KitKat, but there are also those who have encountered problems using this old version OS on this phablet. Samsung and its mobile operator partners have released several fixes for bugs in 4.4 KitKat, although there are still reports of problems with 4 KitKat running on the Note 4 on their forums.

The Android 5.0 Lollipop update is expected to help fix these shortcomings, although many users either don't want to wait or simply can't wait for the release last update from Google. Luckily for these people, there are a few temporary (and maybe even potentially permanent) bug fixes for the Note 4 that these users should be aware of ahead of its release. big update for their device.

So today we will be looking at some KitKat OS problems on Note 4 and will suggest a number of possible solutions such problems. Let’s say right away that such solutions are designed for Galaxy Note 4 with version 4 KitKat, but there may be situations where they can help for owners of Note 4 with OS 5.0 Lollipop.

Solving problems related to the performance of the Galaxy Note 4 battery

Note 4 users have been experiencing performance issues for many months after the release of this phablet. battery. In principle, there is nothing surprising here, since many smartphones have batteries that cause their owners one or another problem. So this problem is typical not only for the device in question. Unfortunately, solutions related to problems with Note 4 batteries cannot be called 100 percent ideal, but users could still apply them in the event that the batteries stop working normally.

In our experience, it was often third-party applications that were the source of battery problems on smartphones and Galaxy tablets. By the way, such troubles have been going on for years, and now they have reached some Galaxy Note 4 users. One of our first pieces of advice is to disable third-party applications, after which it will not be difficult to identify problematic applications and isolate them. Typically, the application isolation process takes a long time, during which users will need to certain deletions, but, as they say, the game is worth the candle if your phablet’s battery begins to drain quickly.

1. Turn off your phablet. Then press and hold the "On" buttons. and “Volume down.”
2. Once the Safe Mode boot process begins, you can release the Power button but continue to hold the Volume Down button.
3. Once you have successfully activated Safe Mode, “Safe Mode” will appear in the lower left corner of the display.

If this does not help, there are additional steps to resolve battery performance issues. First, we recommend that you reboot your phablet and see if this action helps. This reboot will clear the cache and remove services that may be draining additional battery power. We would like to add that this simple trick has previously helped us and other users.

In addition, disabling NFC, Bluetooth, GPS, Air View and other unnecessary functions can have a positive impact on battery performance.
