Question

Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900F Overheating?

May 3, 2015 7:19PM PDT

The phone purchased in April, 2015 overheats, especially when using the camera in photo or movie mode or when watching movies.

The area which is overheating is on the back of the phone on the bottom left-hand side of the phone when you are looking at the back.

The back cover of the phone cannot seal properly and it appears that perhaps the components in the phone have either bulged or, the cover has buckled due to the overheating.

Has anybody experienced this with their S5 and if so, what are the remedies if any, please?
