S7 Edge overheating with Gear VR (Pre-order Bundle)

I have made sure all other programs are closed out before using the VR but I am still receiving a notification after about 25 minutes of play/viewing. Are there any software updates or anything else to help with this.

I got the s7 edge as well, and it is overheating usually while i am in the AltSpaceVR app, like after 25 mins max. I have no idea  how to fix this issue. i guess its just the app to hard on the graphics.

Hey i see im not the only one with overheating issues. This is really peaving me off and is ruining my VR experience. Im using the s7 edge and after about 25-30mins my gaming is interrupted with a message telling me to remove my phone from headset to cool it down. I use wired earphones and wireless controller. I turn on airplane mode and hibernate/kill all running apps. I should not have to do this on a flagship phone that cost me £720. I would expect that from a budget phone but not the supposed best phone on the market.
