How to avoid overheating your phone

[br] [br][br]Battery tips[br][br]Pretty much the worst thing you can do to a battery is to expose it to heat when it is fully charged, so getting it to 100 percent is a bad thing, as your battery will be periodically checked and charged back up to 100 percent, applying stress.[br][br]Depth of discharge also affects battery life, meaning it's best not to let the charge run down to zero percent. If you charge from, say, 30 percent up to around 80 percent, you're treating your battery nicely, and doing a good job of avoiding cell phone overheating. Although it might sound like a pain (it is), it could more than double the amount of charge cycles you get out of a battery.[br][br]If you must charge your phone overnight or for a long period, it's best to leave it on a cool hard surface, instead of on a bed or sofa, which traps heat. Having a charging phone under the covers with you while you sleep is a definite no-no. For similar reasons, don't leave the phone lying in direct sunlight either.[br][br]Power saving[br][br]To manage or prevent overheating of the SoC, ensure you don’t play demanding games or watch videos for too long, don’t multitask on applications that require a lot of processing power, try to avoid using Bluetooth for prolonged periods, and only use Wi-Fi if its stable. In essence, avoid as many demanding processes as possible.[br][br]Get naked[br][br]No, not you. Not necessarily, anyway. When it comes to smartphones, a case or cover can trap heat emitted from the handset, so if you need the device to cool off a bit, strip it and expose the body to the air.[br][br]Use an app to save power[br][br]There are apps available on the Play Store that help to manage your phone's processes with an eye to conserving power and resources. Many in the AndroidPIT community recommend Greenify, a free app that can help you solve overheating issues on your phone as well as extend battery life.[br][br]Don’t overexert your phone or leave it in direct sunlight in mid-August, and you should generally be fine. Most modern smartphones are designed to deal with all but the most strenuous activities, and the chances of a catastrophic meltdown are miniscule.[br][br]If temperatures are rising for no discernible reason, try to get a replacement, as the device is likely defective.[br][br]Have you had any problems with your smartphone overheating? How do you solve them?[br][br][br][br]
