As soon as Samsung released the Nougat update for S7 and S7 Edge, I updated my Galaxy S7 Edge to it. The firmware seemed so great at first. All the new goodies were impressive and phone’s performance received a boost. With the Nougat update, the battery life of my S7 Edge also got a little better. It was running all well until I found my phone heating up while using a browser or any other application. In short, the phone got heated up while using it normally and keeping the display on for long.
It didn’t heat a lot at first. The issue persisted and in a few days, it heated up good enough to drop the phone off until it cooled down again. To me it seemed that either making Video or Voice calls over WhatsApp is an issue, but that never happened on the Marshmallow firmware so probably this is something else. I also tried to figure out other applications, but everything was fine with the apps. It was definitely something else. Now there is a number of remedies to this issue. I applied all one by one and one from all those worked out for me. If you have recently updated your S7/S7 Edge to Nougat, then you can go on and have a look at the solutions to fix Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge overheating after Nougat update.
