Well, sure if your 80 and only want something for text or email, by all means the 4 is just fine.

Dear god no. I came from a note 4, still have it and tried using it for games as my note 8 has a defective CPU, even with thermal issues I'm having I would never go back to the note 4 unless absolutely desperate

So an update and some more questions. I ran a few factory resets and the phone shut down during initial OS setup, had to put it in the freezer. I have done a firmware flash yet as I was finally able to reproduce the issue multiple times. I ran a cpu stress test and as soon as it gets in the mid...

Not yet, I downloaded the same firmware version I have and was gonna try as a last resort, currently on N950USQS6DSI3. Had no issues until I believe I updated to pie, lol

I'm around 55 to 60c with normal use, but when the cores ram up it can get high 70s, but no overheating message, I dont run many apps, mostly games but I ran a factory reset and uninstalled a bunch of stuff still no go. I just happened again, I ran the dump and saved the log, I'll try and look...

That's the thing, neither the battery or the cpu get overly hot, phone gets slightly warm to the touch but around 70c doesn't seem like overheating to me. I have no idea what app,.if it is an app causing it. Thanks to android 9 there's no way to tell what's eating cpu. My monitoring apps only...

Its not so much something I'm running that's causing the CPU usage, it happens even if only chrome or YouTube is open. I can go days without it happening , or somedays it's worse, 3 times today and the last time was the worst, it took 20 minutes to get it back. Sometimes turning off halfway...

Can anyone clarify if my device will brick if it shuts down while flashing firmware? Im getting desperate enough to want to try but I can't afford to replace the phone right now if it bricks.

You said when you removed it from the box, is it brand new or a refurb? It sounds like a faulty replacement display/ digitizer.

I havent tried this, kind of terrifies me. I have touched firmware since my S3. lol kind of afraid it might shut down while doing this and brick it

I am out of things to try on this thing, I bought it used in February and ever since upgrading to Pie the phone will beginning shutting down during use, even while only watching youtube. Something is causing the cores to ramp up to 100%, it begins to warm up but not overheat and then shuts down...

Disregard, im all set. flashed to stock and ota worked to upgrade to kit kat, yay
