The only thing that can cool the cpu (or rather the SoC, since the gpu is a major heat source as well as the cpu) is running slower. Perhaps turning the power saver on (I assume Samsungs have something like this, since most others do), though that may also limit the screen brightness (but see below on that.

In fact the system will throttle the SoC down if it gets too hot. If the phone were rooted it's possible to produce mods which allow you to change the thermal thresholds so that it throttles sooner. Of course this also slows the system, so if you go in for heavy gaming sessions you wouldn't want this. But in the best case rooting and making such mods requires some learning and not caring about voiding your warranty - if you have a Snapdragon-based S10 rather than a Exynos-based one it's unlikely that you can root it in the first place (but in compensation the Snapdragon ones perform better, and generate less heat for the same performance). Without root you cannot change this. You will find apps in the Play Store that claim to make your phone run cooler, but this is bullshit (task killer apps make a lot of bullshit claims to con mugs into installing them).

In any event the display will still produce a lot of heat at boosted brightness, so if this is what's behind it the best you could hope for would be to extend the time before it happens. You might actually do better by turning the brightness down a bit: running longer, perhaps indefinitely, at a lower brightness rather than a shorter time at maximum brightness may work better for you. In any case you don't want to run the display for extended periods at boosted brightness: OLEDs degrade with use, and the brighter you run them the faster this happens. When I said that prolonged running like that would damage the display I wasn't just talking about heat.

Remember that I don't know for sure that this is what's causing this. It's merely a hypothesis that's consistent with what I know about these phones (I don't own one) plus what you describe. But genuinely, if I owned one and had a hack that would let it run at its boosted 800 nit brightness continuously I would be very wary of using it, since running like that for hours on end would be the quickest way to produce "burn in" on the screen.

allow access to tablet only from 9 to 5?

Are you trying to manage a tablet for a child or is this a business issue? If the former, look into implementing Google's Family Link:

If the latter, there are a number of MDM (Mobile Device Management) services:

Currently watching Better Call Saul Season 5 on Netflix, Jiimmy/Saul has really gone over to the dark side, Gus, Mike and Nacho are present and correct, as are the Cartel. I think this season may end with a slight overlap with Breaking Bad season 1.

Do you intentionally put the controls near the ad in hopes of more clicks?
Click to expand...
- Placing ad banners, as well as controls at the bottom of the screen, is a standard practice used in the vast majority of such (and not only) apps. Users will pay attention to such a banner much more than placing them at the top of the screen, for example. At the same time, I try to prevent accidental clicks - controls and the banner are separated by a non-clickable information line (TIMER ... MIXER ... TIME ...). In this matter, I follow Google’s recommendations, although in many popular apps, even those marked with the "Editor’s Choice" sign, you can see the banner placed immediately next to the controls.
https://support.google.com/admob/answer/6275345?hl=en
"Close proximity of banner ads to other elements within an app is one of the biggest causes of accidental clicks. To avoid accidental clicks, banner ads should not be placed immediately next to interactive elements and app content [...] This banner ad placement can put your app or your account at risk if too many accidental clicks occur, and we recommend against such an implementation."

My Motorola g6 has been hacked and they can control it and I can't figure out how to fix this and who hacked my phone

Make sure it's only you that has access to your Google account. Change your password, and enable two factor login. Far more likely it's your Google account that's been compromised, rather than someone hacking the phone itself. Unless someone else has unsupervised physical access to your phone?

how did you update the phone? were you getting 3g/4g before? have you talked to your carrier about it?
Click to expand...

I got it on the Phone through system updates option prior to that I was getting 4G option. Actually a friend on mine works for Vodafone and he himself came down at my place to check the device and everything was fine. Also, on my other devices it gives me 4G with the same SIM
