Xperia XZ running hot

[100rabh]

During All these Security Patch updates the XZ is always running hot 

I am on Latest August Build and Have Reset my Phone after that ...

I noticed even after not using the phone it is running 3-4 C higher than my Moto Z play  ... i tried it on safe mode ... same result 

Room Temp = 20 C , XZ temp = 30 C , Z Play Temp 27 C 

I would like to Know any1 else facing this problem ? coz as soon as i start using my phone it shoots up to 36-40C ....

I can confirm that the heating is real and sony should work on it next patch

I am usually unable to even use my camera as the temperature is too high. I really wish I knew all the problems I'd be having with this phone before I got it.

I hope more users report coz almost everyone is facing this

Yes I am also having problems with my phone. It's always overheating and more recently I cannot seem to text as it keeps crashing and I get a sorry messaging is not responding

Whilst videoing on my XZ, it comes up that due to an increase in device temperature, certain things will get turned off, or won't work and the back of the phone gets almost too hot to touch. Is this normal!? Doesn't seem right to me...

That's normal, certain apps will heat up the phone faster, watching a lot of videos, playing games, etc will speed this up.

But I'm not watching videos, I'm taking videos. But finding it hard when the phone gets almost too hot to hold!

@Mrswacker

Yeah that's normal, there might be other apps in the background and also network coverage will speed this up

Hi @Mrswacker,

Do you experience the same thing when the phone is in safe mode?
