Overheating ! - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Is someone facing overheating issues with one UI 2.1 ?
Like really my phone is overheating so much in the last couple of days in a way that I can't hold it without a case. The aluminium sides become untouchable !
Now I'm just using the phone with LTE on, location and bluetooth are off, and I'm only using whatsapp, all other apps are closed, and the phone is really hot. It's really frustrating.
I didn't receive july update yet, but I just want to know if I'm the only one facing this issue.

Yes, me!
I upgraded from the S8 yesterday and my S9 was so hot during the initial setup that I could not hold it.
Is there a rom / kernel that could help this? I'm also happy to go back to Pie, if it helps.

The thing is that I don't want to go pack to pie. The overheating is happening less often after installing July update, but it's still here. I hope samsung fixes it completely in the next update.
I'm sorry but I don't know anything about kernels or ROMs for the S9.

[Q] new update to 3.2.1

Yesterday got new system update now all my browsers are forcing close all the time anyone else had this problem
I'm not having force close issues but I've had to reboot like three or four times for various reasons. Once every time I would open the browser I would only get an all black screen. And earlier my status bar(or whatever you call that black bar that runs across the whole bottom of the screen) got stuck at half size and unusable after an alert tried to come up. There were a few more issues.
Wonder If Acer Removed Update?
Acer often screws up their updates - has anyone in US received update lately?
Seems like some issues

Just an update on this. This hasn't happened again.
I got the update maybe a few days ago, haven't had any problems with it so far except once when the browser wouldn't open any new tabs, then force closed, but that only happened once, after that it was fine.
no update yet fl
I am still waiting to get the update. I hope it is out soon. I hate the headphone issue i cant use at night while my wife is sleeping and this is y i bought a tab

I wish i could remember how i got around that issue. Did you check around?
The way around it is to play the music/movie without the headphones plugged in. Then, plug them in and the sound will stop playing from the speakers and just the headphones. If you plug them in first, they still play through the speakers.

Happened to me while on a cruise.
There I was grooving to the Best of the Monkeys while reading on the Kindle app bebooping my head.
Yeah I'm that kool
Sounds interesting! Sure hope that I'll get it soon! Does the 3.2.1 update do anything to make the UI more smooth and fluid? After getting an iPad last week, Ive really noticed how choppy the UI in Honeycomb is, and all of the occasional slowdowns a lot more...
I m in canada and hasnt get update yet. Still 3.2 hopefully Acer will put Acer's circle to this update. I m very interesting when using Acer circle in Acer W500 ( touch 5 fingers to screen and it will display ^^)

Acer support told me that Canada should get the update for 3.21 late dec early january.And that update packages are rolled out by region,and schedule is set by Taiwan.
Nor very encouraging as to ICS update then,which they would not comment on

We like to dream
Honestly it makes me so angry. There's so much work that goes into the development of these devices. Can you imagine what it must feel like to pour your heart and soul into engineering & development work, only to have the support folks fail it so hard?
ICS should have been released a week after the sources became available.
The headphone problem should never have made it out of QA. But it also should have been fixed within days of it being reported, and pushed out, worldwide, the moment it passed QA. Instead, this Canadian still has not received it (though I'm applying it manually, right now). It's been months since this problem was reported.
I know no manufacturer is perfect, and there are a lot of products to manage, but this is just irresponsible. Come on, Acer. You're not a charity. We paid good money. Now support your devices.

[Q] Galaxy Nexus self typing

Hi there,
first of all i apologize for my poor english. Got my Galaxy Nexus for a week and i'm not very excited about ICS. I expected great battery life and a few bugs but i've seen a lot. There's an annoying one : sometime my phone seem to live without my touch. If i'm with keyboard on it starts to type messages like "dajhfhakjerehk" then it go on the home and start open apps randomly without my touch. Seems like the volume bug but different; anyone experiencing this issue ?
I hope that's only software, otherwise i had to bring the phone back to the seller very soon.. I wish that 4.0.3 will be released soon so i can decide if it's software or hardware problem.
Thank you all in advance.
I have the same problem with mine, it doesn't happen often though and I can't reproduce it on queue but I have had my phone for 3 weeks now and it has happened happened several times so it's not just a one time thing.

If you're running stock software and this happens frequently I think you should return your device for a new one - sounds like a faulty digitiser to me...

If it was the digitiser i think that it would stop always, not randomly every 2 o 3 day.. That's my opinion

It only happens every other day or even more rarely and it just for a short period so I'm not sure what is doing it.
I also have the more common multi-touch bug after using some 3D games like Heavy Gunner so I'm more inclined to believe that it is something that triggers it similar to that than for the digitizer to be faulty, but that might just be me trying to convince myself that it will be fixed since I don't want to go through the hassle to replace the phone.
Hopefully google will release the next update again soon, be it 4.0.2 again or .3 or whatever, I'm still on ad yakjuxw with 4.0.1 so I was going to wait untill I get the update before I take any action.

downgrading to kitkat

hi guys. I wanted to downgrade back to kitkat because of the constant rebooting problem and I stumbled upon this warning message. is this true? please peruse the attachment.
You can downgrade back. Ive done it before. But why downgrade when MM is coming? Have you tried disconnecting and reconnecting battery? Or even resoldiering it?
Downgrading to KitKat works just fine. I've done it many times. I wouldn't worry too much about MM coming out soon. I mean, we've only had ONE article saying it's coming soon, but it still technically isn't an official source. A reliable one, but not official. KitKat is easier to deal with than Lollipop though in regards to Xposed and viper4android. The UI looks, and IS, better for the OLED display.
thank you friends. what was the deal with that screenshot of that warning anyway? is it outdated info?

I think it's more of a warning that something could go wrong if you don't know what you're doing. That's the first I've seen any kind of message like that though.

I'm on Lollipop right now waiting for Marshmallow. If MM isn't released by the end of August, I'll be going back to KitKat. KitKat is very stable in all ways! For me, viper4android works without issue, Xposed doesn't require you to be deodexed, and it just looks better.

Only when my battery drops below 50% and it becomes more and more frequent the lower it gets. It becomes unbearable around 30%. Flickers with a green light, random reboots, and false power offs. The false power offs are when the screen goes black but the device is still on and reacts to volume buttons and home button. Pushing the power button would seem to do nothing but it's actually locking the device but you wouldn't know that because the device seems to be off. Pushing the power button again unlocks the device and the screen comes back on but will turn off again randomly within a few minutes.
I'm on my second Tab S right now. The display on my first got a hairline fracture in the digitizer so the screen had this temporary, at first, green/yellow tint which could be temporarily "fixed" by holding the corners and bending inward. Not the best fix as you can imagine. Everything else on it worked just fine but it was going to cost the same price as a new one just to fix the screen so I gave it to a friend and bought myself a new one. I had for just over a year.

yes same symptoms! i can't use a tablet which goes crazy when below 50%. I tried an AOSP rom once which limited the CPU to about 400mhz and the flickering and shutdowns are minimized. but. what can you do with such a slowpokey device these days haha. when I was still on stock lollipop, enabling power saving mode helped a bit as well.
people keep saying it is a battery connector issue or something but I've replaced the battery and it still does the same thing. doesn't seem to happen on kitkat so far. so I hope the rumored marshmallow update will get that issue fixed. and I'm surprised samsung didn't develop a patch for this widely reported shutting down issue.
does your second tab S work like a charm on lollipop though? perhaps it's a different batch with a different motherboard or something.
I never believed it to be the battery connector. I'll admit I'm not electrical engineer or anything like that, but I've been playing around with devices since I was 5 by taking them apart and a battery connector just doesn't make sense to me. I think it's a OS and device (a certain batch or something) issue. None of these issues were on KitKat. My first Tab S had NONE of these issues whatsoever! Only this current Tab has shown these issues. It "works like a charm"....as long as I stay above 50%.

Touch screen issues

I've had Honor 7x for about a week now and I love the phone. I experience no lags or any other issues except one. Touch screen sometimes acts up and is not responsive and sometimes I have to touch the same spot like two or three times to get it to work and it's so frustrating.
The only way that I'm able to make it work well as it should again is by restarting the phone, and then it's all good until next day or so.
Have you guys noticed the same symptom?
May I Ask....

Short Answer For Me.. No.
Are you still within your return period ? Swap it out for a new one.. and see if it's any better.
If Not... Sell It.
Didnt have any issue as such..
Get it checked..
I am having the same issue now I believe. Phone worked great for about two weeks then started having screen issues. I have to push a little harder and slower than normal or touches don't want to register. The buttons along the bottom and the pull down menu at the top of the screen seem especially bad. A reboot clears it right up for a time. I'm past the return period so I have to send it in for a warranty repair. Were you able to get the issue resolved with your phone? I'm a little worried with it being a sort of intermittent issue they won't be able to reproduce the issue and won't fix it.
Yes it is buggy !

Hi,
Yes, I'm also facing the same issue and thinking that removing the tempered glass may help.
Also, there are lags and lack of responsiveness in this device time to time and I don't feel it as a Hardware issue. Its just that if you are not used to clearing out apps from recents, unlike 90 percent of the other users and if you ever felt the phone's hardware/software competent enough to handle those by itself and at the same time, maintaining the performance, then you are wrong.
Now after a good 2 months of usage, I can say that we will have to wait for a slim pure AOSP rom for this device to please us. Its not at all a balanced device and indeed its a total flop. I feel no joy( and sometimes want to throw it on the wall also) in using it now because of these 3 issues :
1. Time to time lag/hanging - due to not clearing recents frequently - Since I do not believe it is really required for a phone with 4GB ram and Kirin, equal to SD 652 processor. My OP2/ Mi Max and all others used to be much much better than this piece of sh**.
2. Touch not snappy and feels like less responsive for a fast user. May be perfectly fine for the one's using it in a relaxed way.
3. Notification quick reply screen timeout because of not recognising it as an active function.
- From a quite unhappy first time honor user !
I got in touch with customer service and they advised me to factory reset it.
After that phone actually felt better with no issues.
However, I was still within the 15 day return window and I didn't want to take the chance, I sent it back and bought another one.
With the new phone all I can say is that I love the phone. No touch screen issues, no lag what so ever, it is extremely fast and even after I cranked it up with apps it didn't get any slower. I can say that it's faster than my broken Nexus 6p.
Love it
Glad you got a new one sadly I missed my return window. I tried a factory reset and only installed a podcast app different from the one I normally use and actually Uninstaller a few factory apps like Facebook, Instagram and couple Google apps docs and sheets. Still had the issue after some use. Always seems to happen after 20-30 minutes of phone calls. I have contacted support and will most likely be sending it in. I'm getting the b140 update as I type this and the change log says "Performance optimization changes has been included in the current software" so maybe that will fix it. What are the odds. Is it hardware is it software I don't know but I would think if it were hardware a reboot wouldn't make the issue go away for a while but that's probably flawed logic. Also I'm using the US variant (L24) 32gb/3gb.

Well it's been a couple of days since I received the b140 update and so far my screen hasn't acted up. I'm not 100% sure it's fixed but so far so good.

This seems to have resolved my issue also. Thanks for the tip!
Since it seems software related, and I imagine this 'feature' is to detect whether you 'meant' to touch the screen or not, it would make sense that this is potentially the problem. In my case especially, I would describe the issue as it seems like my screen falls asleep if I take too long between interactions.
Edit: this actually didn't resolve the issue

Unfortunately after further testing the issue persists. Most noticeable in clash of clans, Facebook, Snapchat, other slightly higher resource usage apps.

Still digging in on this, I enabled Show Taps from the developer options and the malfunctioning taps actually do show up when they occur. I sent an email to support 2 days ago with no response yet. Will probably have to call I guess. womp.

got my phone more than 15 days ago, issue started becoming more prevalent this past week. notably when i'm playing rhythm games (lol). thought ir was the tempered glass screen protector but its now happening with a film/wet application protector. i can't replicate it consistently either. would be interested in updates, this is really frustrating.

I still haven't received an email response, however if you go to the site via mobile you are presented with a live chat option during their business hours (listed on the site https://www.hihonor.com/us/support/index.html). I used that to arrange the repair return for the phone. They don't simply replace it which is kind of frustrating, so I guess it's back to my trusty nexus 5 for a week or two. ?
-tg
i've done some looking around -- i know this thread is much older than the recent UI update, but it looks like the most recent update has messed up the touch sensitivity completely. loads of people are complaining on the hihonor forum. hoping this'll be something they can fix with a patch.
really hoping that i won't have to send it in, this is a replacement for my old phone since the charge port was completely shot. so i'd have to buy a new phone anyway...
thanks for the update, hope this all gets fixed soon!
This appears to be related to the most recent update. That is when it started becoming more of an obvious issue.
Oreo will fix this surely... I had same but now its fixed ?
Touch sensitivity
I'm having the same issue, my screen touch is not sensitive I used to have moto g4 it's been a couple of yrs since I bought it even that screen touch sensitivity is better than this. But overall features camera screen everything is good except the touch sensitivity, I need to click everything a couple of times to respond and even while texting I'm missing out some letters. BTW I won't use any screen guard or tampered glass and it's been a week since I'm using honor 7x.Apart from the screen sensitivity issue I'm damn satisfied with the product.
Thanks,
Aditya

I can also confirm that this is a software issue and is resolved by the Oreo update (currently beta, link below), at least for my case of ghost taps registering on different parts of the screen than what I am actually touching. I've been running Oreo for a week now and this is definitely the phone I was hoping for when I bought it :good: I've been emailing details regarding this issue with a member of their beta support team and it has been relayed to development. Hopefully they can/will release a hotfix for nougat in the meantime.
Oreo is currently in beta. The forum post regarding beta enrollment :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-7x/how-to/how-to-beta-test-emui-8-0-oreo-based-t3757323
I used to have similar problems, particularly when I try to scroll by sliding it would actually open the link if there is one where I first touched. Also writing was difficult on SwiftKey, it would jump over and behaved as if I hit enter.
I joined oreo beta and upgraded yesterday, all these problems seem to have disappeared. Fingers crossed, will wait and see a few more days.

Touchscreen issue (PLEASE VOTE)

Please vote, lets see how many user has this problem. (I know the Q/A topic contains similar topic but w/o voting)
My problem is similar. Yes when I pinch or zoom with two fingers it gets a little wonky but nit too terrible. My issue is with the setting "accidental touch" not working. My screen keeps turning on when in my pocket. Tired of companies putting out buggy defective JUNK!
As much I'd like to get this phone seeing so many people have this issue is stopping me from buying it. Guess I'll have to wait for samsung to address that they're putting out a fix for this.
After I put a tempered glass screen protector on it I've had no issues. They have pushed an update to the FE in Germany to address the issue but it's not pushed in the US yet.

I am glad you don't have the issue, because not everyone has it. Actually, I have put the latest DBT (Germany) latest firmware version on the phone a few hours after it was available, but unfortunately, it has NOT solved the issue, as I described it in this video.

Just tried that test. I guess I do have it but have never noticed it.
Unbelievable i also have issue with my Australian s20 fe, did not noticed this until I run the touch screen test. Unfortunately I have not received any updates firmware yet to see if Samsung fix them or not.
I had this issue too but with 1ATJ5 update which i received 2 days ago the problem solved
I'm surprised what take Samsung so long to release the updates to the rest of the world when its clear the problem happen to a lot of regions.
I have had too Multitouch issues. I have it returned. I have Pixel 5 now.
Was S20 Fe 5G red DE region.
I just bought US t-mobile model and I do have the crossing lines in that blue screen test app. However I haven't experienced any issues in my day-to-day use.
I have the Exynos version with november patch here in Brazil, the issue is present.
Fast catch in PoGo is a nightmare since we need to use 2 fingers to do it.
Exynos with latest patch, no issues on normal usage, only a few crossing lines on the test app.
Just ordered the FE 5G (Snapdragon).
Will update it and run some tests. Should be here in a week.
Hopefully they fixed it or will fix it with Android 11/OneUI 3.0
Is it really a software issue that can be fixed or Samsung just trying to cover it up?

I saw some posts on reddit that claimed it was fixed with the latest software but I don't know how true that is as I haven't tried it myself yet.
Hopefully it's something that can be fixed via software. I've gone through PLENTY of Samsung devices and the hardware is always of good quality, even on their lower end devices.
I very recently got the Exynos version, CSC is SEB, ran touchscreen tests, no problems at all.
I don't know if it's touchscreen related or maybe screenprotector that i applied, but after using this phone for a bit more I notice that sometimes it doesn't register my touches. For example in pogo when I spin a ball suddenly it stops tracking as if i lifted my finger and yeets the ball somewhere to the side. Similar with HP:WU, sometimes it doesn't track my casts. :/

Did you you enable increased sensitivity?
My Note 10+ be a mess if I wasn't using that and accidental touch protection. If you're running Pie you can also download the app Double Tap which works great with almost zero battery usage.
The case also makes a big difference as naked I hate this phone; in the Bolt case it's great and it helps to prevent accidental screen touches while making it easy to hold.
Don't be too hasty to ditch Pie for Q... Pie is a fast, stable and a relatively secure OS.
With Q comes the cursed scoped storage.
Make sure to cure isn't worse than the disease.

Yes, I tried both in all combinations.

This phone never shipped with Android 9 so irrelevant.
And the problem is not accidental touches. The problem is it stops tracking.
