What are the possible causes that might make the Samsung Stratasphere over heat?
Hey there DLady! The circumstances that bring about overheating are varied, but I would say the most common is poor signal availability. All Verizon Wireless phones are designed to search for the strongest possible signal so that it can be ready to handle your calls, messages, and data needs when you need it. Therefore, if you find the that phone is most often used in areas where signal is low to non-existent, the device will have to work harder and harder, and as a result grow warmer to the touch. Warmer phones can also be the result of using the device while it is charging.
It is also possible that the phone is heating up because of a malfunction. If the first two suggestions don't apply to your situation, and your phone is warm to the point that it is uncomfortable to handle, please refrain from any unnecessary use and send me a Direct Message through this forum with your name, mobile number, and an alternate phone number where you can be reached and I'll be happy to assist you in exploring your options. Thanks for bringing this concern to the VZW Community!
