How to stop the Samsung Galaxy S5 from getting too hot

s5 gets hot and discharges fast

Do you have the problem that the Samsung S5 heats up and drains fast? You are one of the users of the Samsung Galaxy S5, flagship of the South Korean firm Samsung. And in your first days of use you have experienced a fairly common problem, such as the excessive heating when using the mobile phone.

Being one of today's most powerful phones, it's frustrating when it gets hot. But due to the constant complaints from users, it is one of the most common problems of this terminal.

So next we will present the way to try to prevent it from overheating excessively.

The charging of the Samsung Galaxy S5 Why does it heat up and discharge quickly?

Undoubtedly, the most effective method to prevent the Samsung Galaxy S5 is overheating , is to load it with your original charger. Not with other chargers that have been lent to us or that we have from other phone models, since each mobile uses a certain amount of watts for charging. Therefore, use the original charger, which we received together with the mobile in its box.

Another recommendation is to charge it in places where the temperature is not too high. Among the most recommended options is a room with a cool temperature and good air circulation. Also avoid charging it near other appliances or electronic devices.

It is also normal that during charging, the battery may heat up a bit. But if it starts to get too high, it is best to remove the charger to prevent the battery from permanently deteriorating or, in the worst case, causing a short circuit.

Also not recommended use your device when it is plugged into the charger. Since it is common for Android users to use it to play games or send messages while charging. This practice decreases the useful life of the battery and increases the use of terminal resources, therefore the Samsung S5 heats up quickly. why does my samsung s5 phone get hot

Adjust screen brightness

Adjust the brightness of the Samsung Galaxy S5 screen to the maximum can cause the discharge of the Samsung Galaxy s5 to occur faster and also to heat up. So keeping the brightness of it at a medium level or "auto" is the right solution, regularly it can be 50-70 percent.

It is also recommended activate power/battery saving mode, this so that all the applications that are running do not use and do not consume too many system resources.

Another tip to avoid about hot the Galaxy S5 is that of not having all the antennas turned on at the same time, that is, the WIFI, the GPS and the location service, since they have the peculiar characteristic of consuming a large part of the processing and therefore the processor, which is the one that most temperature takes on having to perform more processes.

Last but not least is avoid installing apps that offer battery saving exaggerated, since what they do is just the opposite, draining the battery dealing with core system interference.

S5 battery failure

If, even after following all these tips, the phone overheats, the problem may be physical with the battery itself, so it will require a visit to the technical service or store, where they can calibrate and see the possible failure with greater precision. If excessive heating is common, it is time to visit the technical service so that they can give you a definitive solution.

    I have my samsung galaxy a 5 2015, but it's already very bad, the whole battery is charged and that's how it turns off and gets very hot, I don't know what happens if it's the battery or what, I DON'T LIKE IT ANYMORE because its battery is closed and you can't removing it is a very complicated problem because I have to take the technician if I want to change the battery, I THINK IT IS A DISPOSABLE PHONE SO SAD

    New update
    Since the new update, the cell phone overheats and the applications freeze and close, for example snapchat and whatsapp. In addition, the photo gallery does not allow me to see the images and the camera is stuck and does not allow me to take photos. My phone keeps turning off 🙁

    screen does not turn on and very hot
    [quote name=”Carlos Eli”]Good evening I have a Samsung Galaxy s5 What happens is that in the morning or afternoon my cell works fine but when night falls it starts to flash with green stripes the brightness of the screen I use it in automatic but when night falls it blinks green and when I remove the automatic brightness and put the normal one on it, the blinking goes away but sometimes I block it from turning off the screen and unlocking it the screen does not give me it does not turn on someone could tell me what It will be or if someone already happened to him or what can I do[/quote]
    The same thing happens to me and it doesn't work without heat, that is, the screen doesn't turn on without first having preheated it to a certain temperature, it's super weird because you see that the keys turn on but the screen doesn't, until it has the right temperature. It also gets quite hot and the battery doesn't last at all... for me it's Samsung's fault that it has implemented with updates because it's getting worse and they want me to buy a new one

    It gets hot and it's more an iron than a cell phone
    [Answered for my mom]
    She has a gold colored Samsung galaxy s5 mini and when she uses it for only 30 minutes her fingers get burned (like 60 degrees it gets hot)
    Any solution so that it does not burn, I try to have it with kitchen gloves, but it did not work

    Screen overheats
    Hello, I have a samsung s5 and the problem is that when I receive a call and I can't answer, it goes to voicemail, then the screen stays on and if I don't realize when I turn it off, the cell phone heats up. I wanted to know if anyone has a solution for this. Thanks.

    battery a5
    According to the android cleaner, the battery heats up because there are many applications that consume battery, the solution that the program gives is that it hibernates them, it could be to uninstall them or stop using the internet

    Overheating on load
    I was charging my s5 with original charger and without using it and when I went to unplug it it didn't work and it was hot. Now neither the battery nor the mobile work. The phone is 5 months old. Does the warranty cover it? What I can do?

    galaxy 5
    5 months ago I bought a mobile galaxy 5, and the battery discharges very quickly, it does not last even 1 hour, sometimes it is at 75% and when making a call it discharges completely and the phone turns off, when you connect it to charge it again the signal rises quickly to 75% and recharges normally, but the same thing happens again When it is used, what can I do, it will be the battery. Help me please.

    It downloads without using S5
    good and I had 3 S5 and two of them had this problem with only 7 months of use and they discharge super fast so much so that I leave it at 10 pm with a 40 battery data pack deactivated and at 4 am it turns off already discharged

    S5 overheating
    Well, the truth is that since I didn't know what was the reason why the mobile was overheating, I've done everything, put a little piece of ice under it, take it out the window, I've even put it in the fridge to cool it down, because there has been moments that I thought was going to melt completely from the temperature that it reached.
    I have tried almost everything, uninstall applications, not play, wait for the battery to completely discharge... but nothing, when it seems fine, whether I am using it or not, whether I am charging it or not... there goes, overheating!!!
    I will try to do everything you have said here to see if there is any luck.
    Thank you very much

    be disappointed
    I have several problems with my samsung galaxy s5 one of them is that the device's cpu overheats a lot, the temperature has reached 65 degrees and it is also that sometimes the cell phone does not work with its normal speed the device is not slow but not very it goes as it has to go

    complain
    hello good day I have a galaxy s5 the truth is I have had many problems because it gets very hot and discharges super fast as soon as it starts to get hot I have already taken it 3 times to the service center with a technician and they report that they do not notice anything and stop It has been a disappointment for me because all my telephone equipment has been a Samsung brand and I decided to buy something much better and nothing good has come of it in terms of this pure aspect that downloads very quickly and they have not solved it for me.

    Cooler Master
    Hello, I have a Galaxy S5 and if there are times when it gets hot and I wonder why but what I do is leave it alone for a while, I take it out of its cover, close all the applications and use Cooler Master, I don't know what it does but it works.

    Over heating S5
    My cell phone in a year of use has already started to overheat and reduced the battery life by 50%. When before it lasted me one day one afternoon... now it barely reaches noon... it would be good if Samsung focused more on battery efficiency than on other things... I have a Samsung s5

    I don't know if it will work once it's wet and turned on. Turn off and put the phone in rice one day, having removed the battery and dried, do not put it in the sun... put it all in rice. You may be lucky and it will fix it.

    It has gotten hot for me twice since I bought it on Oct 4, 2014.
    I REMOVE THE BATTERY and let it cool down has worked for me, but I think it is not usual or normal.

    It seems that the battery may be defective, it would be good to take the mobile to a technical service or the store.

    There are apps and functions that consume resources such as the micro and raise the temperature. All those that use gps and especially games that have a lot of high resolution graphics and fast movements. If it gets too hot, I would take it to the store or service center.
