Causes of phone overheating[br][br]There are several, totally normal (and harmless) reasons why your phone may need to use more power than usual, causing it to warm up a bit. These include:[br][br]1. Gaming for long periods of time[br][br]If you haven’t found yourself hours deep into a Candy Crush or Snake vs. Block marathon, then you’re either lying or you’ve somehow never had to take public transit. The sheer breadth of available mobile app games is arguably one of the top reasons for buying a smartphone. However, high-intensity gaming apps use your phone’s central processing cores in addition to the graphics processing unit, which can make your phone warm up.[br][br]2. Streaming content[br][br]Similar to the gaming scenario, watching YouTube or Netflix for hours via your Android or iPhone is another surefire (get it?) way to overwork your phone’s processor, as it has to load the video data and keep the display active for a prolonged period of time.[br][br]3. Your settings aren’t optimal[br][br]Your phone’s settings also impact how much energy it’s using. Screen brightness on full blast? Animated wallpaper, Consider turning off (or down, in the case of screen brightness) unnecessary settings to lighten the load on your phone’s CPU.[br][br]Other reasons may not be related to your phone’s normal processes, but are still relatively easy to fix:[br][br]4. Environmental factors[br][br]Prepare to have your mind blown, but leaving your phone sitting outside in the sun or in your car on a hot day can cause it to overheat (*GASP*). This will also prevent the touch screen from working properly and cause the battery to drain faster. In addition to sun and heat exposure, water damage can also be a possible cause of phone overheating.[br][br]5. App updates[br][br]If an app has a bug or other problem, it may cause your phone to overheat by overusing your device’s processor. Keeping your apps updated is important because updates often include bug fixes.[br][br]6. Software updates[br][br]Rarely, a phone may overheat either after an update, or because there was a bug in the OS that required fixing through the update.[br][br]When there’s a bigger problem[br][br]While there are many plausible explanations for why your phone is getting hot in here, it’s better not to assume the problem is an easy fix. An overheating phone can also be a sign that your phone is hot. Malware often consumes a ton of your phone’s ram and CPU power, which causes the phone to overheat. Some types of malware are even capable of physically damaging your phone.[br]How to cool your phone down[br][br]For a quick fix, first try removing your phone’s case. While the case itself should not be causing your phone to overheat, it might be trapping heat. Removing it can help lower your phone’s temperature more quickly. Next, turn on airplane mode to quickly deactivate battery draining features like wireless radio, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi or cellular signal search. This isn’t the most practical option, but it can be a quick way to help cool your phone down if it’s overheating.[br][br]Also, NEVER put your phone in the fridge or freezer. While this may sound like the logical counter response to leaving your phone in a hot environment, exposing your phone to extreme temperatures or moisture can cause irreparable damage. A better option (though admittedly limited in effectiveness) is to blow on or fan it. Both iPhone and Androids are designed to function between 0-35 degrees Celsius (32-95 Fahrenheit), but exposure to temperatures outside of that range can have a negative impact on your phone’s performance or hardware. If your phone is overheating because of direct sunlight or heat, you can move it to a shadier place.[br][br]In addition to the tips mentioned above, here are some other things you can do to help your phone cool off:[br][br][img src="https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/2683519/hubfs/signal_images/articles/article-5757486381/additional-image-phone-with-thermometer.jpg?width=620&name=additional-image-phone-with-thermometer.jpg" aid="width=620&name=additional-image-phone-with-thermometer.jpg"][br][br]Use less power. power saving and ultra power saving modes helps to limit the amount of power your phone is using, and can also help preserve your phone’s battery life.[br][br]Install junk cleaning software — Another useful way to minimize drain on your phone’s battery and processor power. Cleaner apps make it easy to clean out junk files, identify apps that are slowing down your phone’s performance, and remove useless pre installed apps to help improve your phone’s performance and extend its battery life.[br][br]Dim your screen brightness — Keeping the screen at a reasonable brightness (not full blast) will take some strain off your phone’s battery (and your eyes).[br][br]Turn off Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth — Disabling battery draining features such as these gives your phone a break, allowing it to cool down.[br][br]Restart your phone — Occasionally restarting your phone can help prevent overheating due to minor software problems.[br][br]How to prevent your phone from overheating[br][br]Prevention is often better than a cure, even when it comes to an overheating phone. Developing some phone care habits can really make a difference when it comes to prolonging your phone’s life, or having to completely replace it.[br][br]Charge your phone correctly[br][br]We already mentioned using a reputable charger, but where you place your phone while it’s charging is also important. Put it on a hard surface that won’t conduct heat; not your couch or bed, both of which will retain the heat produced by charging.[br]Update your apps[br][br]If you notice your phone has started heating up for no apparent reason, try looking at some of the apps you’ve recently installed. It’s possible that one or more of them may have a bug that’s causing your phone to overheat. Updating apps usually fixes this kind of problem; if not, try uninstalling the app to determine if it’s the reason your phone is overheating.[br][br]Avoid direct sunlight[br][br]This seems like a “duh” piece of advice, but it can be quite easy to forget about your phone when you’re outside soaking up the sun. Cover your phone.[br][br]infinix....... the future is now[br][br]
