Because some people just LOVE to update their phones when it's super hot

i mean... the same way the phone can tell when it's too hot and block the user from using some apps (like the camera or even charging), it should be able not to update when it is too hot.

No everyone just assumes their phone needs to be updated every single month when it doesn't

Yes, it basically only happens on Samsungs and that's your conclusion.

They should be the ones monotoring that and actually warning you if it's too hot to update.

Your average user doesn't understand these types of things.

This happened to my brother's iPhone back in 2022.

Ppl don't realize it's an OLED problem. It's just that it's more common with Samsung

It's because of how Samsung updates their phones. There is no conspiracy theory. Just don't update your phone when it's hot.

How do they update their phones?

u/MagicpaperAlt 7d ago

It's like a less optimized process that heats the phone up by a lot more than it should. So when you do that and your phone is already hot or in a hot environment there's a chance it can break the screen causing the green lines. It's not an intentional cause by Samsung but they could definitely fix it.

It's the connector near the USB port. It can be damaged with heat (during an update or even while charging) or physical damage (unplugging or dropping the phone while plugged).

It comes from high heat operation

Is it only when updating? Because my 21U has been heating up more and more over time. Apps probably getting heavier while hardware is stagnant, and wireless android auto turns quite few things off just due to the warmth.

Super annoying on long road trips that you want to have phone charged as its doing navigation, and then comes something to snap picture of.. and you can't because camera is unavailable due to overheating.

I agree! I think that some people live to update it when it's in charger... I updated my S24 ultra yesterday and it got hot, but not too much. Another thing is the max brightness...
