I'm a new forum user, and I do hope that there will be someone out there who's either had the same experience, or knows what's going on.
I've had my HTC M8 for 7 months, and I've loved every minute of it. Yesterday, however, I took a picture using the flash (I usually have flash turned off). After that, the screen brightness wouldn't turn off, and the phone grew excessively hot. DU SpeedBooster clocked the temp at 121 degrees before I turned the phone off to let it cool down. It got to that temp in a matter of minutes.
Since then, I've tried going into recovery mode and wiping cache partition, I've deleted the last updated apps, and I've done everything I could think of except factory reset. That's the final step, but I don't want to lose the data cache on some of my apps.
Does anyone know what could be the problem, and what, if any, is the solution. I don't want to scrap my phone, I love this phone. It's the best one I've ever had until this problem came up.
Thanks in advance for any help!!
