Absolutely any brands of phones can get warm during operation. This feature of smartphones is completely normal and is not considered a defect. However, sometimes the phone case, even if not in use, heats up too much. what to do?
First of all, of course, one should determine what actually caused the strong heating. Depending on this, they choose a way to solve the problem.
What causes the phone to warm up
Most often, the problems of overheating the phone case lie in its improper use. This could be, for example:
- installation by the user of a large number of games that can heavily load the kernels;
- using a very dense phone case;
- the presence of a virus.
Of course, in some cases, the heating of the phone may be associated with some kind of malfunction. Sometimes this problem is caused, for example:
- short circuit;
- ingress of moisture inside the smartphone.
Very often, modern smartphones begin to overheat, and simply due to the fact that their battery has exhausted its resource. In this case, the phone is usually also very quickly discharged.
What to do if the problem is caused by misuse
In this case, it will most likely be very easy for the owner of the device to fix the problem. From the smartphone, first of all, you will need to remove all the games installed on it, or at least some of them.
If the phone still continues to overheat, you should try to remove the cover from it, leaving only the glass, and possibly a light bumper. Next, be sure to check the phone for viruses and clean it using, for example, programs such as Kaspersky Antivirus, Norton Security & Antivirus, etc.
What to do in case of overheating due to hardware problems?
In this case, it will be, of course, much more difficult for the owner of an overheating mobile phone to fix the problem. Most often smartphones overheat due to old batteries. In this case, the owner of the old phone model will most likely just need to purchase a new battery and replace the exhausted element with it by removing the back cover of the device.
The owner of a new model will most likely have to carry it to a service center to replace the battery. Unfortunately, modern smartphones are supplemented in most cases by non-removable batteries.
If the user suspects that the overheating problem is caused by a short circuit, he needs to check the operation first:
- cameras;
- wireless devices;
- different kinds of sensors.
In the event of a short circuit, such devices may start to function incorrectly or even shut down altogether.
Very often, the problem with an increase in the temperature of the phone case is also associated with moisture getting inside it. In this case, a discharge and a short circuit usually occur. You probably won't be able to fix such a phone on your own. The smartphone will also have to be carried to a service center.
