An overheating phone can be uncomfortable and even risky if left unchecked. If your Galaxy S25 FE feels unusually hot while charging, there are simple fixes you can try to keep it cool and safe.
Why Your Galaxy S25 FE Might Overheat During Charging
- Using the phone heavily while charging, such as gaming or streaming.
- Faulty charging cable, adapter, or third-party accessories.
- Charging in hot environments or placing the phone on soft surfaces.
- Software glitches or outdated system updates.
- Background apps running excessively and consuming power.
Check Your Charging Accessories.
Your charging cable or adapter may be damaged or incompatible. Faulty accessories can deliver inconsistent power, which makes the phone heat up.
- Unplug the charging cable, and then inspect it for bends or frayed wires.
- Try using the original Samsung cable and adapter, and then see if the overheating continues.
Avoid Using the Phone While Charging.
Running apps while charging increases the load on the processor. The combined strain from charging and heavy use generates more heat.
- Close all running apps, and then lock the screen while charging.
- If possible, leave the phone idle, and then let it charge without interruptions.
Keep the Phone in a Cool Place.
Charging in a hot environment or on soft surfaces like a bed traps heat. This prevents proper heat dissipation and causes the device to get hotter.
- Place the Galaxy S25 FE on a hard, flat surface while charging.
- Move it to a cooler, well-ventilated area, and then avoid direct sunlight.
Update Your Software.
Outdated software may contain bugs that lead to inefficient charging and overheating. Updating ensures better system optimization.
- Open Settings, and then scroll down and tap Software update.
- Tap Download and install, and then follow the prompts to complete the update.
Disable Fast Charging Temporarily.
Fast charging pushes more power into the battery, which naturally produces extra heat. Turning it off can help if overheating is frequent.
- Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
- Tap Charging settings, and then toggle off Fast charging.
Reset All Settings.
If none of the above helps, misconfigured system settings may be the cause. Resetting all settings refreshes the system without deleting personal files.
- Open Settings, and then tap General management.
- Tap Reset, and then tap Reset all settings to confirm.
Overheating while charging usually comes down to accessories, environment, or usage habits. By following these steps, your Galaxy S25 FE can charge safely without excessive heat.
