After the August 17 software update, my Galaxy S6 64gb has been overheating constantly, draining the battery and slow to no performance. I have disabled location, Bluetooth, Android Pay & Samsung Pay, lowered the brightness and avoided any roaming. It's been shut down and restarted multiple times. I've gone into safe mode, disabled photo backups and everything I can find. In the 18 months prior to this update I had the cooling down warning once. Since the update, I have it cooling down every time I stream music, YouTube or Netflix and when I charge, even from the Samsung charger.
Just writing this on my phone drained my battery from 86% to 71% and its too hot to hold.
When is this software going to be rolled back or replaced? This is unacceptable.
