What is true of this model and changes how you fix it
- The Device Care routeSamsung's forum replies start with Settings, Device Care, Optimize, which clears background apps and cached data in one pass. It is the cheapest step and worth doing before a cache-partition wipe.
- Testing for a rogue appRestart in Safe mode, which switches off every downloaded app. If drain or heat stops there, an app you installed is the cause, and uninstalling the newest ones usually finds it.
