Device over heating while charging

[najam malik]

I am using SG Note 4 for some months, from the past few days I am feeling my phone getting too hot while charging. Is it a faulty data cable/ charging cable or it is some other issue? I also have a game which also heats my mobile while i play. Is it that game? Help please

Excessive heat while charging is likely to be a fault in the phone. It could be the battery, or something else. I'm assuming that you are not using the phone while charging.
Games may cause the processor to get hot, but only while you are using them. Just having the game installed on the phone will not cause the heat problem while charging, if that's what you mean.
