[Q] S4 I9505 faulty battery sensor?

Hi,



I keep getting a "your device is overheating" and can't run any applications.

Also, I can't charge the phone ("Charging paused. Your battery temperature is too high")

The device isn't hot at all. I installed "Battery temperature guard" and it said the battery is at 90 degrees ..which doesn't make any sense.



I tried a cache reset with factory reset but to no avail.

I didn't try replacing the battery but I doubt it'll help since the battery sensor is located in the device itself.

Is there a way to override the battery sensor? Did anyone run into a similar problem?



The problem started when I was at the beach but I'm 99.5% convinced that not a single drop of water touched my phone.



i9505 stock rom non rooted.



Thanks.
