The phone gets very hot, is this normal, reasons

When a smartphone starts to overheat, it worries its owner. It is important to identify the causes of overheating and find out what consequences they are fraught with.

Reasons for phone heating

To fix a problem, you need to accurately identify its causes.

• Excessive smartphone use: games, videos, music. This leads not only to overheating, but also to battery drain.
• Weak cellular network signal. The device intensively searches for it, which is why it overheats and discharges.
• Constantly running systems such as data transmission, navigation, etc.
• Some applications may not work properly due to bugs or poorly optimized code. To process their requests, the gadget requires a lot of energy.
• Negative external factors: keeping the gadget in your pocket for a long time, under a pillow or blanket, next to the battery or in direct sunlight.
• Problems with the phone OS, accumulation of residual files and other garbage in the internal memory.
• If overheating occurs while charging, then you may not be charging the device correctly. Overheating is caused by playing games and watching videos while charging.
• The gadget's system is infected with viruses.

Troubleshooting

To keep your phone from overheating, try to follow these recommendations:

• Check the battery. Perhaps he needs a replacement.
• Run an antivirus scan.
• Do not overload the device.Playing games, watching videos, listening to music require breaks.
• Disable all unused features such as GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi.
• Do not run “heavy” applications and games.
• Clean your device of unnecessary programs. Especially those whose use leads to system overload.

If the problem cannot be resolved using the methods described above, then there may be a problem with the hardware of the device. This could be a manufacturing defect or breakdown. Only a service center specialist can help here.

The phone heating up is a completely acceptable situation. But if overheating occurs constantly, this can lead to unpleasant consequences:

• The device can reboot itself.
• Frequent device freezes.
• The temperature of the case rises so much that it is impossible to touch it.
• Disable charging.
• Suspicious liquid leaking from the gadget.

Prevention to prevent heating

Eliminate all factors that contribute to overheating:

• Poorly ventilated covers.
• When playing games or watching videos, hold the gadget so that it “breathes”.
• Do not place the operating device in direct sunlight or near heat sources.
• Do not charge the battery frequently. Wait until it is completely discharged.
• Don't forget to clear your RAM.
• Make sure unnecessary programs are not running in the background.

• Do not use non-original cables and charging blocks.
• Check the contacts between the socket in the smartphone and the charger.
