Phone overheating

[Reese8]

I am unable to get far away to bring phone to nearest place to check battery. I do NOT game on this phone yet it gets hot. I have tried to hold the "volume down " & "power" but the phone will NOT bring up the options to clear cache. I regret being roped into buying this phone at this price as T-Mobile deceived me in their business dealings. I have been a long time Samsung user but never had problems until this Galaxy s25. Can anyone tell me why the menu to clear cache won't even come up?

I live in Florida. I don't normally use my phone outdoors, because I can't see the screen in the sun, and can't see it with sunglasses either. I've also said before, just because your phone is hot doesn't mean it's overheating. Phones generate heat in use. Just because it's cool also doesn't mean it's NOT overheating. I have, however, used my phone in a steam room (in a pouch, of course) without it getting hot or overheating.

But when you drive around, using maps for example that could make the phone hot

It could, but it still does not mean it's overheating.

So than what about taking pictures, videos and such

What about it?  Even if the phone heats up when in use, that's what phones do.  The CPU and battery generate heat.  It's not normally a problem (unless it's hot enough to cause burns), unless your phone starts lagging and freezing.  As I said, just because the phone's surface is hot, does not mean it's in an overheat condition.  In most cases, when a phone actually starts to overheat, the internal sensors catch it and slows down or stops processes (hence, the lag and freeze), dims the screen or shuts down the phone completely until the phone is cooled off. If none of that is happening, the phone is not overheating.  The phone will always protect itself.   The overheat condition is generally detected at the motherboard level, because if the motherboard fries, your phone is fried.
