@michaelngona first we need to know if your phone is really overheating or if it just displays a message that it is overheating. We also need to know if anything happened prior to this. Let us know if there was a chance of water immersion, if it got dropped etc. If it is overheating, the most common issues are with the battery or the charging port/charging board.

If it is not, but it tells you that it is, the issue is most often generated by a failed thermal sensor on either the battery, charging board and worst case scenario, on the main board.
