Why does my Galaxy S4 overheat drastically when a charged battery is put in it?

[AC Question]

My Galaxy S4 overheats drastically when a charged battery is put in it. Help!

My phone has been working well, but yesterday it developed a serious problem. The phone overheats to the point where it is painful to hold, and will not start. I tried a different, fully charged battery, and when that didn't work, I put it in a container of rice, since my location is very humid and the humidity might have worked its way in. After 30 minutes, I took the phone out and it was extremely hot. I removed the battery and let it sit in rice overnight, but I still cannot get it to even power on.

It sounds like your using an aftermarket charger or one not rated for your phone

sent from my LG G4 vs986

Actually, everything I have has a Samsung logo. And the battery I used came directly from a Samsung charger, and works in another S4 very well

If there is moisture inside your phone, I think it would need much more than overnight to get it out using the rice method.
