Note 4 too hot when charging

[dency45]

Is this normal due to the fast charging feature? Its like i am experiencing this now a days. It is always beside me when sleeping and i accidentally touch it while sleeping and i accidentally woke up cause it is very hot.

It might be due to that, cos I also face this problem. The output voltage is 5V/9V and 2A/1.67A respectively...

I had this problem the first time I charged it. I had it under my pillow and it woke me up when my arm touched it. It hasn't happened since that until charge so I think it was just an isolated incident.

If you are charging it over night, you really don't need fast charging on.

Disable the fast charge in the settings if you don't need it.
The heat will only shorten the battery life.

If you have it under a pillow, that's a fire just waiting to happen. I remember reading a story about a girl who woke up when she smelled smoke. Her phone's battery had over heated and luckily hadn't burst into flames. She was lucky.

Yes. As stated the phone should never be put under a pillow to charge. It needs air to breath. It is a mini computer after all. I leave fast charging on and my device doesn't get hot.

Beamed across the web from my Beastly Galaxy Note 4!!

Never ever have your phone under your pillow, especially while you sleep!

My Note 2 gets pretty warm when the battery discharges rapidly especially if it is downloading. Note 4 has been cool no heat problem so far.

Its not Only you most of the Note 4 devices is over heating for no reason. While transferring data, while updating is firmware, While charging , Its getting over heated unnecessary. I think its a buf with the latest OS. Hopfully they will rectify that soon in next update. Or else it will be a faliure.

It's not strange to overheat when you're updating the firmware.

If you're charging and trying to play a 3D game or a app that utilizes multi core, the phone will of course overheat.

However, I do agree that there are some situations the phone overheats for no reason.
