sony xperia z3 over heating problem

Hiya sony I have just started with my Sony xperia z3 over a couple of days I have noticed my Sony xperia z3 has got a over heating problem it has been fine to me in have used it as you would problem is getting worse every quickly and I getting a little bit worried as I am only charging my phone temperature is getting higher it started at 27 and it's now on 36 it's getting little quickly to the maximum temperature 60 I was wondering if you could give me some troubleshooting on what to do next if my phone gets hotter I love this phone but I can't use it as I want playing games are worse tho even texting or calling or even if I am looking through my phone it gets hotter very quickly I moved from Sony xperia z3 compact gets hot that's why I moved to sony xperia z3 and I don't like how hot it's getting could you get sony to quickly send an update or something as I don't think this phone can handle the heat anymore

That's normal if you are recording on 4K or playing games, the phone won't overheat, if it gets too hot then the phone will turn off

Are you auto backing up with google plus, or do you have wifi on while charging or playing games?

Charging your phone will heat up your phone, that's normal

You can try pressing the yellow botton next to the sim and plug it into charging for 2-3 hour's. Then turns it on and disable all functions.  You cannot also lower screen brightness as the screen needs the most power. Leave it for few hours and then start using it and check. Alsou don't turn on the script brightness to maximum

Reset your phone using PC companion.I had the same problem on a Nexus 4.Making a phone call nearly burnt my ear off.It was a software problem.Once I had performed a factory data reset on it,the phone was perfect. Never got hot again
