My Fairphone 6 overheated without using it. I had it in my pocket while I was at the cinema and felt it. Had to switch it off.
I wasn’t using it and didn’t have anything running as far as I know.
Any idea what could have caused that?
If it might happen again when you’re at home, you could connect it to a PC open an adb shell (with adb debugging enabled) and check with top which process is running crazy.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I got the batterystats using adb shell dumpsys batterystats --history .
Looks like the overheating was caused by repeated cellular_high_tx_power events triggered by low signal, amplified by background Google/location services keeping the CPU and radios awake while the screen was off.
