Hello everyone, 
 My name is AADHAV, and I've been using a Galaxy S21 FE 5G (EXYNOS) for about a year and a half now. Recently, I've been experiencing some concerning issues with my device. It's been overheating, especially when using apps like Instagram for just a few minutes. 

Additionally, the back plastic panel seems to be detaching due to the glue melting from the heat. I've noticed the glue also melting onto the side aluminum frame, when it gets extremely hot. In fact, my silicon case has been damaged due to the heat.

Some key points:

- I always remove the back case while charging.

- I exclusively use Samsung's adapter and cable for charging. - The battery health seems normal with no signs of bulging.

- The area near the camera tends to heat up first. 

I'm reaching out to the community for advice and possible solutions to this problem. Any insights or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you

You need to download from apkmirror and install it manually along with good guardian app and set thermal threshold to lowest.

It underclocks some cores to make it run cooler.

They replace that glue tape with new one and charges you between 300 to 400

Yes 5G uses battery too much and cause heating also, you can't do anything in this case. So use 5G when you want to watch videos or download large files.

For back panel, note that factory seal is factory seal, in ASC thay will glue back panel but don't rely on IP rating after that, it can't be perfect accurately, it depends on your kismat.

I always use my phone in my room , never went out using my phone in direct sunlight.

But I noticed one thing it only heats so bad only when it's in 5g , I tried switching to 4g and the heat is much lesser than it was while using with 5g network

Now the back panel is off completely !
After I fix it in Samsung service centre will the IP68 things work?

But will it still be water resistant (ip68) ????

Will it survive splashes after this is done ?
