Mobile phone overheating is one of the most common concerns of smartphone users, which sometimes worries them. Almost most smartphone users have experienced overheating at least once. Several factors play a role in the heating of the smartphone, which we have prepared a list of below. Stay with AndroidTechniques to know what are the reasons that android phones overheat.
Nowadays, the use of Internet users has increased significantly. Surfing the web, playing online games, etc., and using various social networks such as WhatsApp and Instagram require your phone to be connected to the Internet. Your continued use of the Internet increases the temperature of your smartphone. It is also necessary to know that you should expect more heat when you share your phone’s Internet with others through Hotspot.
Apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook and Twitter, which are constantly running in the background to keep their content up to date, have a significant impact on CPU and RAM processing, which also causes the phone to heat up.
You may have experienced slowness and speed drop as the temperature of your phone rises. This process may be due to the processor being locked to cool down your phone as a security precaution. Malware running in the background may be the reason for this lock; Therefore, we recommend you check your phone for malware.
Smartphone users often use screen protectors and frames to protect their devices from impact, but they ignore the fact that they prevent the heat of their phone from dissipating. Like other electronic devices, a mobile phone needs energy, and the use of this energy produces heat. Most smartphones dissipate the heat produced by the body and the holes they have, so using a frame and protective layers can make heat dissipation a little more complicated.
Most of the mobile battery charge is consumed by the display. The higher the display brightness, the higher the battery drain. Discharging the battery, on the one hand, and high screen consumption, on the other hand, cause the temperature of your phone to increase significantly.
100% charging of the mobile phone, in addition to shortening the battery life, also increases its temperature; Therefore, our advice to you is to avoid charging your phone 100% and charge it between 20 and 80%.
Using a fake and non-original cable and adapter is another reason that increases the temperature of your smartphone, in addition to reducing battery life and charging.
You should also remember that some chargers are designed for more powerful devices, which can damage the battery and cause it to overheat. We recommend you use the charger and cable suitable for your phone. You can read the guide to buying chargers and charging cables for more information.
Our smartphones are now full of information, from family photos and videos to work projects and chats. So, none of us like our smartphones to get damaged, and we must delete the data on them. In addition, the price of a smartphone is not such that we can replace our phone with a newer model in case of failure, which makes us take more care of our phone. One of the things that can cause severe damage to different parts of the phone, in the long run, is the issue of Android overheating. When the phone gets hot, in addition to reducing the hardware performance, the battery and other parts are damaged, and we should prevent the phone from getting hot as much as possible. What should we do now, so the Android phone does not heat up?
Generally, it is normal for Android and iPhone phones to heat up. We cannot expect that the phone will not heat up when it is connected to charging or playing heavy games but to improve this issue, we can take various measures, which we will discuss below why the phone gets hot while charging.
- Do not expose the phone to direct sunlight. This causes the phone to heat up.
- Turn off fast charging mode if you are not in a hurry to charge your phone. In Samsung phones, you can easily disable fast charging by turning off an option and charging your Galaxy normally. Fast charging causes a high temperature and hurts battery charging in the long run. To turn off fast charging, go to Settings>battery and device care>battery>more battery settings and turn off Fast charging. Whenever you need to charge the phone quickly, you can enable this option again (it is impossible to turn this option off/on while connecting the charger to the phone.
- When charging the phone or playing games, remove the case from the phone so that the heat can be easily transferred from the inside to the outside. The presence of the frame plays the role of insulation and prevents heat from escaping.
- Do not operate the phone while charging. In addition to heating the battery, this causes additional pressure on the chip and battery when charging. If you have to do something with the phone, take it out of charge and work with it. In general, smartphone batteries are currently in such a way that there is no need to charge them fully, and you can charge your phone with a 30% charge when needed. Therefore, if you are working with the phone while it is charging, disconnect it first.
- This overheating may be due to the constant opening of applications in the background. To solve this problem, you should put your apps in the following categories to save battery power and prevent all apps from accessing the background. Go to Settings>battery and device care>battery>more battery settings. In this section, be sure to activate the Adaptive battery option. By turning on this option, the phone will automatically limit access to less-used programs and optimize the battery charge in the best possible way, according to your use of the phone.
- Follow the path above and go to Background usage limits in the settings of the battery section. In this section, activate the Put unused apps to sleep option so that less used apps go to sleep mode and then put your apps in one of the three categories below. The first category is Sleeping apps. Go into this section and add apps to this section (via + on the top right) that you use less often but still want to receive notifications from. These programs run in the background, but only partially. The next category is Deep sleeping apps. You should put your unused apps in this section. We all have apps on our phones that we don’t use much, and we want to use them once in a while, and it doesn’t matter if we don’t get notifications from them. By adding programs to this section, their access to the background will be limited, significantly affecting the optimal use of charging. The last category is Never sleeping apps, in which we do not recommend placing any program in this section; Because these programs will always work in the background. Only put applications in this section that are of double importance to you.
- If you play a lot with your phone or do heavy work, after every 30 minutes, put your phone aside for 5 minutes so that the phone can remove the generated heat and its performance will not suffer. If you continue to play with the phone while it is very hot, it may cause severe damage to the screen or chip or even the battery, so be sure to take the issue of overheating seriously when doing heavy work with the phone.
