Problem: Hi droid guy, I’m having problems with my S7. It constantly gets too hot when I am using it; E.g browsing the Internet or texting people. It gets so hot that the screen freezes entirely and it tries to restart but gets stuck loading the Samsung logo. Then I have to wait for the battery to die so I can charge it and the screen will change. It’s becoming a real nuisance. I hope you can help

Solution: It’s normal for the phone to get warm when you are using heavy apps such as games however not to the point that it gets too hot.

S7 Weird Beep Coming From Phone

Problem: Dear Team, I have a Samsung S7 almost new (I have bought it in June) and I got a small issue. Since a couple of weeks, almost every day, I hear a weird single sound coming from my mobile. It is like a beep, but it does not sound as any of the notification music I have got in the phone. It happens once a day at different times and in my screen is not showing anything special, so the sound is not linked to anything. Can you please help me to understand where this kind of beep is coming from? Thank you for your help!

Solution:  This is most likely caused by an app you installed. Try starting your phone in Safe Mode then check if the beeping sound still occurs. If it doesn’t then it is most likely caused by an app. Find out what app this is and uninstall it.
