We have always considered Android the finest operating system where we can customize anything without any hassle. But the bitter truth about Android phones is that they overheat instantly. You do not have to install any custom ROM on your phone to be able to use this feature. The heating issue is also with those phones that have never changed the wallpaper.

As a newbie, you can’t understand what loophole is causing the Android phone to overheat. Previously, overheating issues were ignorable, but now, around 1/3rd of Android users are being harassed by them. On that note, we researched from both a developer and user point of view and found something valuable about it. Here, we’ll guide you through everything.

How to fix overheating issues on Android

If you have ever seen a factory outlet of any smartphone company, you will see how a phone is manufactured. Android phones undergo several specific tests. For example, the charger plugin is tested around 3000 times. It is clear from that number that there is a minimal chance that developers could have made a mistake on the phone. There is no doubt that the problem is not the developer’s fault. What questions come to mind, then? Specifically, I am referring to who is causing the overheating problem.

Currently, the overheating issue depends on how the phone is handled. Our 1/3rd of users are stressed out about the case as a result. It means the other 2/3rd users are happy with their phones and using them masterfully. There can be many things a user needs to correct when handling a phone. Some examples are using too many apps or running intensive tasks like gaming, outdated software, battery problems, and being in direct sunlight. So, let’s work on these loopholes and fix the overheating issue.

Always keep your phone away from direct sunlight exposure.

Temperature is the primary cause of overheating. If the environment is hot, the phone’s temperature will increase and cause overheating. Sometimes you sit in your garden and look at your phone in direct sunlight. At that point, you can ignore it, but do not use your phone in direct sunlight. It can be solved by using it at an average temperature.

Check for Software Updates

If your phone is outdated and malfunctions and does not function properly. If the processor stops working while watching YouTube videos, the phone will overheat, and the app will crash. The best thing you can do here is to check for software updates on your phone and update it. You can get it through Settings >> About phone>> Software Update.

Play games as required by your system requirements.

Today, online games have become a trap that people play even while walking on the streets. While they are thrilling, you lose a lot in search of a thrill. But whatever it is. You can download any game that you want. You might never check the system requirements for every game. This loophole occurs because your phone overheats while running an almost unprocessable game. So, before switching to any game, always check its minimum system requirements and play accordingly.

class="wp-block-heading">Verify your phone’s battery status.

Your phone’s battery starts to lose its capacity due to constant running and frequent charging. Since all phones now have fixed batteries, you cannot physically test them. Here you can see the battery status in the built-in battery manager. One day, I noticed the battery’s capacity. As a result, even when the phone is only used for calls, the storm drains a lot and overheats. In that case, you should change your battery as soon as possible because it can also explode.

Besides that, some minor causes have a significant impact on overheating. There are many simple things to remember, such as constant use, using the phone at full brightness, a faulty charger, Unnecessary turning on Wi-fi, Bluetooth, and GPS, and avoiding multitasking. Use your phone lightly and treat it as if it were a child. If you come up with this thought, you will never have an overheating issue. You should upgrade your phone if you intend to play heavy games. However, you won’t be able to run that high-end game on the phone with a normal processor.

Conclusively, overheating is usually caused by user error. Some apps are buggy and cause excessive heat, I agree. By updating or uninstalling them, you can avoid it. To prevent overheating on your phone, you can also follow these tips. If the problem still persists, the only way to get a solution is to raise a support request. Here you will get direct communication with developers that are solely responsible for fixing the issue. So, these are the relevant reasons and solutions to fix overheating. In case there are still questions, please feel free to ask them all below.
