We all can't live without our smartphones, however living in India brings up some issues
that have an easy remedy for your smartphone. It gets too
hot in India during the summer and it has a direct impact on your phone's
internal temperature.
In fact, smartphones tend to get too hot which can cause problems like
forced shutdowns, battery drain, and other problems. If the temperature gets
too hot, your internal components can melt simply from exposed heat. Having
said that, we have compiled a few tips if you face this problem on a regular
basis.
1. Keep It Away from The Sun
I've made this mistake on numerous occasions, where I would either leave
my phone on a table or in the car where direct sunlight caused my phone to stop
working. Smartphones, just like any other object, catch the light and absorb
the heat from the sun. Smartphones tend to retain the heat, causing it to get
hot. This is the first step you should always follow in order to prevent your
smartphone from overheating.
2. Do Not Turn Up Your Brightness
Turning up your display brightness will cause your battery and processor
to work harder which in turn causes overheating. Instead of turning up the
brightness, we recommend you invest in a glare screen guard so that it is easy
for you to look at your smartphone in bright conditions.
3. Turn Off Background Apps
If you have no use for useless apps that eat up the juice while running
in the background, you will eventually find your smartphone heating up. Just
like the screen, apps that use background refresh also cause your phone to heat
up. Close unnecessary apps from your phone's multitasking menu in order to
prevent overheating. This will decrease how hard your smartphone works and as a
result reduce heat emission.
4. Take Off Your Phone Cover When It Overheats
Just like everything on this planet, your phone needs to breathe and if
your smartphone starts to overheat, remove the phone cover immediately. Phone
covers prevent heat from escaping and gets trapped inside the phone cover which
in turn, heats your smartphone even more. Removing the phone cover will help
your phone cool down faster.
5. Never Put Your Phone in The Fridge
If your smartphone is already overheating, you should avoid sudden
temperature changes in order to protect your smartphone. Many people think that
sticking it into the freezer or the fridge may prevent it from overheating. In
fact, experts call this “a terrible idea”, since exposure to sudden changes in
temperature can affect your phone's components and will also collect moisture
in the innards.
