Galaxy S7 Overheating issue with GearVR

TheModeVR

Does anyone else have the overheating issue after 10-15mins of use? I get this message a lot and it is pretty annoying.

I have a temp solution that I'm not sure I should continue doing since it might cause issues with the phone. I use a hot/code night mask with my GearVR to cool the phone. I'm hoping this doesn't cause any sweating inside the phone since the S7 is water resistant. Any other solutions out there??

Here is pic of my temp solution: https://twitter.com/ModeVr/status/867387079378034690

Here I'm playing Suicide Squad for about 30mins with this temp solution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na9e_z-LywY

Ideally I'd like to have a cooling system like this: http://amzn.to/2qdVvb3

But this version only works with previous versions of the GearVR. Hoping something comes along for 2017 GearVR and Galaxy S7 devices.

Have you noticed improvement with the new update? That's helped with mine. 🙂

@FrozenPea I just got my update today (w/Chromecast feature). I'll try it without my hack to see if it overheats again.

@Phaserlight Didn't think about using rubber bands... that would help me out a bit. Version 3.0 coming soon

I wish it would cook. lol  I usually have an extra hot pocket (frozen) in the freezer in case the one I am using gets too warm.  Easy to replace too.

Get the s9 and bo overheating issues. The processor in the s7 is not good enough.
