So let me start off by saying this could've been really dumb on my part to even try....
I received my Note8 a few days ago and wanted to transfer over everything from my S8+. I had a dual USB C cable from Anker (that is USB-IF certified, according to their Amazon listing) and I figured I'd try that instead of the normal OTG + Cable setup. Smart Switch transferred fine without a hiccup and everything seemed alright.
Next, I wanted to transfer over my media from my SD card on my S8+ to the SD card on my Note8. Seemed like the most efficient way was to just use the USB C cable and a file manager app and just literally copy them over. I ended up using the Downloads app for a few transfer without a problem.
The problem starts when I start my second round of transfers, a bunch of videos and a concurrent transfer of some backup files. It starts off fine, and then I notice the estimate starts to climb up. Finally, a few minutes later, my Note8 abruptly shuts off without warning. I go to pick it up and it's pretty warm (not too hot, my old S7E and Note7 have been a lot warmer). I turn it on, it boots up normally and everything seems fine. I never received a warning or dialog as to why my phone randomly shut off. I immediately download a battery stats app and my phone is at 38°C, which seems high but again I've seen worse. Ever since it's been operating fine but I'm paranoid that I may have caused some damage.
Is there a way to read why my phone abruptly shut off? Any idea why it did? I'm concerned about the USB C cable being faulty, I trust Anker, but even they had to recall a cable previously.
tl;dr - used a dual USB C cable to move data over to my Note8... Worked for a while until it abruptly shut off. Haven't noticed anything wrong with it since, but I'm paranoid that I may have messed something up.
