Why are you still rocking it 😂

Phone keeps showing overheating even when it's not hot. I've formatted it twice and changed power IC yet, nothing. I don't know what seems to be the problem

And even so, you have to either give up on the microSD card slot, or the 3.5 mm jack, crucial features for myself and more importantly, many others :[
