S7 Hot while normal use

darkdhanil · Apr 28, 2016

I just got my Galaxy S7 4 days ago and i notice that is getting hot when i am using it normally for lot of time like 1 hour strait.. If i use games it's gets warm almost cool so no problem there but in normal use like i start web browsing, looking on youtube, making calls or reading on Google Now it gets hot. I am not talking hot like unable to touch it but almost there. Like, a little bit hotter and i need to stop touching it. And while it does not burn my skin is really uncomfortable to use it like that. So are the S7 you guys have do the same? I come from iPhone and that does not get hot on normal use so i don't know if this is normal or not but since i saw the new S7 cooling system i supposed that should not be happening.

Web browsing can use a lot resource so the phone might get hot. Also cooling system in s7 work by transfer the heat away from chipset to outside that make phone hot to touch but make chipset cooler.

It seems that qualcomm didn't fix anything related to overheating.. Samsung should get ride of those.. and find a solution for cdma networks. The exynos variant it's overall better

My SD820 has never made my phone hot to the touch threw my symmetry case though I can't deny the SD810 was a failure. I thoroughly enjoyed my s6e+ with exynos and wouldn't mind having it in my s7e but I don't feel in any way hindered by having the sd over the exynos.

The 820 gets hot. Really hot. I was shocked at the amount of heat produced by this phone.

Unfortunately neither the exynos variant does run cool. It goes preety warm if you're just browsing with chrome... Yes, it depends how heavy the pages are (eg javascript etc).. But in general i find the phone to get pretty warm.

A screenshot (from aida64 thermal section) after about 1h of using the phone, mostly browning, some music, a little youtube, whatsapp, twitter.

@A0425A can you post a screenshot after few minutes of browsing with chrome? Thanks!

I'm also facing a similar heating issue. My phone heats up to 57°C just by opening the camera app and taking a few pics. In fact I turned off Wifi/BT/GPS just to make sure. Is this normal? What is the temperature range

yes Last night i use chrome for the first time,only a few webseits then phone get hot,but never get this happen when i use stock browser.

Well same problem here. Didn't se this thread so i created a new one..

My battery temp goes up to 40c just using Chrome sometimes. Is this really normal ? I have exynos in my phone.

Can you please tell all apps you deleted?

I'm not sure how to export a full list of what I disabled. it was over a 100 packages though. I'll play with it tomorrow to see if I can get the list because typing all that out is gonna take a long time. also, 40c is not that hot. I had my phone get over 90c before many times. sometimes it still gets pretty hot but not nearly as often anymore. like I can have Google apps running with location on for over half hour with my display on in my car and it would be ok, where before it would get pretty damn hot.

Damn! That's pretty hot.. Well, maby there is no fault in or phones. I'll guess 40c is pretty normal when using apps like Chrome.

I got a SD820(Verizon) variant and I have the same problem.
I've done some analysis about the heating, like watching CPU temperature.
What annoys me is that I think it is acceptable when you playing a heavy game, but when you're just configuring or browsing the web it keep warms.
When I lock it or charge, there is no problem at all. Samsung may have f*ck*d up in a software level, because the overheating isn't always related to heavy tasks.
There are times that I'm playing and It keeps cool, so I really think It's not about the hardware itself.

In attach i'm showing it right after unlock screen. I'm in a 24 degrees Celsius ambient.
I hope Samsung solve it in Android Oreo version
