Phone is hot - causes and methods of elimination

It happens that the mobile device with which we deal every day, starts to get very hot. If this happens in certain situations (for example, after several hours of continuous play), then we will not be surprised: it is understandable that the gadget processor was under load, which is why its temperature increased. But another thing is if the phone is heated during its inactivity or, say, when performing some simple operations. In this case, you need to understand what is happening and what is the reason.

In this article, we will try to find out what can serve as a source of heating in the case of your device, which means increasing the temperature of the case in one or another place, and also how to deal with this problem.

A bit of theory

It is not a secret for us that there are a lot of processes in the running device that are hidden from the human eye. This is the work of the same processor, and power consumption, and processing graphics, and many others. If the external smartphone looks calm, then inside it is a series of operations, which can cause, including, and heating.

There are several answers to the question about why the phone is heated. To understand the true cause, it is necessary to find out which of the modules of the device is heated, after which we will understand the cause of this phenomenon. And to know what is getting hot, you need to understand where the heating takes place. To know this is simple: pay attention to the place where the temperature rises.

In total, the smartphone does not have many items that can heat up. These are: battery, processor and display. Only these parts can cause a serious temperature increase in the course of their work. Because of them, and the phone is hot, only the reasons are different. Read more about this in the following sections, divided by the criterion of which element becomes hot.

Powerful processor

We buy devices that have 4-8 cores, which can run any application and process any task in a few milliseconds. And this gives certain positive results: working with a powerful phone is much more pleasant, because it is much less "buggy" and at the same time it supports the work of colorful games and applications without any problems. Therefore, we try to choose such a smartphone without thinking about the temperature mode of such processors. And because of their high power, their average temperature is quite high. Why is this happening?

It's very simple: if the hardware of the phone is involved in the computation processes, it will in any case be heated. Only, unlike a laptop, the inside of the smartphone can not be cooled. There is no miniature fan cooler chasing the air around the "heart". Therefore, the phone is heated, with which you will work for at least half an hour-hour.

The degree of heating of the device depends on how "cumbersome" in terms of productivity are the tasks assigned to it. If you play for 2 hours in a colorful 3D-game at the maximum parameters, the phone heats up more than with simple surfing on the Internet.

Battery

The battery installed in the phone is the only power source of the gadget if it is not plugged into an outlet or a PC. Therefore, the electricity required for the operation of the processor comes from here. And, as we know, a working electrical appliance can become hot if it is connected to a power source.

Therefore, if you have worked with your phone for a long time, the battery may become warmer than it will start to discomfort you.

Only in this case it is necessary to pay attention to the degree of heating. If you understand that this is a normal temperature, because the back cover of the device is only slightly warmer than our body, you should not worry. Very soon it will cool down and return to the previous regime.

If, on the contrary, you feel that the smartphone is difficult to hold in your hands - in this case, you need to do something. First of all, you need to know whether this happened before. If not - what caused this reaction of the device? If your phone is hot for the first time, we recommend that you turn it off, because it can be damaged even more. After this, you need to understand what the reason was: maybe you used non-original charging; Or the battery has been replaced. There are a lot of factors affecting this, including how fast the phone is heating up, how long it takes to cool down, what applications were opened when you felt the temperature rise.

In view of all this, it is necessary to draw certain conclusions.

Heated display

Perhaps, if you notice that you have a heated mobile device screen, you should not worry about it. Most likely, you just spent too much time on your gadget, because of which the temperature of some of its components began to rise. For this reason, for example, often heated phone "Samsung".

The degree of heating depends on what type of display is used, and on what brightness is installed on it. If the problem with raising the temperature annoys you too much, you can try to reduce the brightness; If this does not help, contact the service center. There must be prompted whether the temperature is normal for your device or not.

Charging process

It often happens that the phone is heated during charging. Surprising in this there is nothing - while connected to the network, the charging adapter starts to heat up, after which the temperature and battery of your smartphone grows. If, again, you can keep your device in your hands and do not burn it, do not panic. Otherwise, we advise you to carry the phone for repairs and it is advisable to refrain from using the charger, so as not to harm even more. It happens that the phone heats up when charging, in case the mains adapter fails. If this happens in your situation, be careful: it can damage the gadget.

Communication problems

As practice shows, there are a number of other situations. When the phone is warming up, discharges and shows unstable operation as a whole. In particular, we are talking about communication problems.

You see, if the smartphone does not get the proper signal level, it tries to find it, connect to the network and work in normal mode. If this can not be done for a long time, the device spends its battery charge and starts to warm up in parallel. In this case, we recommend that you switch it to "Flight mode".

Do not hurt!

If you feel a strong heating of your device for any reason, first of all try to protect yourself from unpleasant situations, such as further breakdown and failure of the phone. Disconnect it from the network, turn it off, disconnect the battery - all these actions are aimed at rebooting the gadget, letting it cool down and starting to work in normal mode. Only if these actions did not help to get rid of the problem, start to understand what's wrong.

Individual operating mode

Also remember that all the devices are in some way different (in terms of the norm of the temperature regime). One smartphone can work with one temperature, while for another it is considered unacceptable, and vice versa. Do not be alarmed if you bought a gadget and noticed that it is warming up. Read the reviews about it: maybe you are not the only one who has encountered such a problem.
