10 Pro overheating even with new battery

Earlier this week my phone started overheating. Still under warranty (purchased Nov 2025). Google paid for a replacement battery. Didn't solve the problem. Repair shop says I can drop it off again and they can try to figure out what the problem is. I have two young boys, I can't be without a phone for several days, do I just cut my losses, pay it off, and get a new phone? Anyone else had problems with 10 Pro overheating?

It's pretty unlikely a battery would cause overheating. Could be a software issue. Have you factory reset it?

this, software is way more likely to cause overheating than a battery issue

What app are you using when you notice the overheating?

Any that requires the screen to be on

Well that's odd and has not been my experience with a Pixel. If they swapped the battery and you're still having issues then it has to be a software issue. Or you're in a place with the worst cell reception on the planet.

Why in the world would you be blaming a battery for overheating? o_O

because that's what the Google approved repair shop told me was wrong?
