After using our mobile phone for a long time, either to watch a movie, have a very long conversation or simply to have used an application, it is normal for our device to overheat. Why does my mobile get hot? We will solve this doubt below and we will give you a series of indications for you to take into account in these cases.
Stay tuned, because we are going to tell you about the main reasons why our devices overheat for no apparent reason. That our mobiles heat up continuously is a sign that must be taken into account. Since this can damage different components of it, such as the battery, the anchors and even the screen.
Why does my mobile get hot?
On certain occasions, our mobile devices tend to get hot after being used for a long time or, because we have too many apps open on second screens.
The first thing we have to make clear, is that any action that is carried out with our mobile is going to emit heat. This is because the processor starts to work faster and this causes more heat to be produced. That is, if you are using a certain application, games or any other function, it is normal that after a while it begins to overheat.
It is not something out of the ordinary, that a certain part of our device heats up. The problems come when this heat is already too much, reaching the point that it is impossible to hold it by hand.. If you get to that point, it is advisable that you stop using the device and block it, to let it “rest”.
Putting the mobile phone on charge also causes heat to be emitted. It can appear both in the part where we connect it and in the mobile itself, so if this happens it is quite normal. In these summer months with intense heat, we do not recommend that you use your device while it is charging, since its temperature may rise.
In case your mobile starts to get too hot, not only it is advisable to block it and stop using it, but also in case it has a cover, remove it. This will keep the device from getting too hot and breathe.
What happens when my phone heats up on its own?
An issue that we must pay attention to is the one that we raise in this section, what happens if my device heats up without using it. As well, here we could be talking about something not so normal, and this is because our phone is working in the background and because of this, it starts to overheat.
In case this happens, Two different situations can occur; as we have commented that our device is working in the background or another something more problematic and it is that, our mobile has been infected. To check this situation, close all the applications or other types of screens that you have open. In case the heat remains for no reason, the idea that it has been infected is gaining strength.
How to make my device “breathe”?
If your device is very hot, you should cool it down and let it breathe as soon as possible, it does not matter the cause by which that overheating has started. One of the easiest ways is, as we have mentioned before, remove the cover from your device, close all applications and lock it. We advise you to let it rest in a cool and shaded place so that it gradually returns to its normal temperature.
If even following these steps, your mobile still has a high temperature, try turn it off completely, but first close all open screens, remove the cover and leave it off for 10-15 minutes. As we have advised you before, leave it in a cool place.
This way that we just told you, they have to give you a good result yes or yes, it has to help your device to return to its normal temperature. When the indicated time passes, turn it on again, but under no circumstances start playing or opening a thousand and one screens again.
Another piece of advice we give you is that forget about apps meant to cool down your phone. Applications that you can find in the official stores of your devices that supposedly help you in this “breathing” process. Apart from closing all the processes and screens at once, these applications are not going to be of much use to you, what is more, they can even damage your battery, so you have to be especially careful with them.
The battery charging process is also very important to cool down our device., you have to find a good surface for it. Both the tables and the floor of a room are good places to charge our mobiles, we must avoid leaving it charging on textiles or hot surfaces.
To avoid overheating, turning off Wi-Fi or Bluetooth features are two other good tips. As well as, activate the battery saving mode of our phones. Overheating is something very normal, but for which certain measures must be taken so that it does not go further.
