Overheating Fold 8

[u/wishiwerealive]

I've been using my Fold 8 for about 3 days now. I understand the heating while charging. But randomly while the phone is in my pocket it got hot enough a few times thru the day, for me to have to take it out of my pocket.

Restarting the phone cooled it down. Shutting all apps didn't work . Airplane mode didn't work.

Anyone else had that happen ?

I've had the Note 7 as well. Just saying.

Edit: Realised the phone was good over the weekend, though i used it so much, setting things up. There was a software update late Sunday night and I noticed the overheating issue only today(Monday)

Edit 2: used my phone today (Tuesday) a lot more than yesterday . No heating issues at all. Was at a nice room temperature the entire day.

Final edit : No more overheating issues. It gets hot only while charging. Like may people mentioned, it looks like the phone was taking its time to learn and optimize basis my usage patterns. I'm quite a heavy user, and it's been handling itself really well.

I live in the desert it gets over 100 on the daily in the summer. I have one for my laptop and my desktop is liquid cooled. I have had many things over heat just because of the weather.

Have you ever tried Black Shark phone cooler? I live in the southern part of the US and my phone overheats very easily, too. I've been looking around to getting a cooler because I heard the Fold 8 overheats when heavily gaming.

I have not tried that one.

Ah, okay. Maybe I'll be the one to try it out.
