Reason Why Your Smartphone Gets Hot Timely
All smartphones warm up a little during intense
use. This is quite normal and nothing to be
alarmed about. During intensive use, the phone
draws a lot of power from the battery and this
causes it to warm up.
What is abnormal is where your phone heats up
tremendously and becomes hot.
Sometimes, the
only thing to fear is a burning sensation when in
contact with your body. In worse cases, the
phone may shut down, become unresponsive or
reboot.
In the worst case scenario, the device may
combust – burst into flames.
Also, note that heat drains the battery of your
phone faster. The hotter it gets, the faster your
battery drains, so you get the most out of your
battery if you keep your phone from heating up
too much.
What To Do If Your Phone Gets Hot During
Use
1. Put it down a while and let it cool down.
2. Turn off WiFi or 3G/4G data. Internet usage are
key power drainers in any smartphone. By
disabling your internet connection, you cut off
this factor, and of course mostly likely will put
down your phone
3. Don’t use your phone in extremely hot
conditions e.g near ovens, in direct, scorching
sunlight.
4. Turn off battery draining apps. Those are
usually apps that run in the background and
using your internet connection. These may
include Map apps, email apps, and ocial
networking apps.
5. Sometimes, the problem is a rogue app – a
badly written app – running in the background.
Find it. Kill it. Uninstall it. Do not be merciful.
