Your phone\u2019s processor and battery are constantly producing heat. The temperature of your phone\u2019s surroundings also can affect your phone\u2019s heat and can cause it to overheat. Finally, the easiest way for you phone to overheat and have hardware problems is through heavy multitasking and gaming. These apps can overheat your battery and cause your phone\u2019s electronic components to deteriorate over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How To Prevent Overheating<br>\n<\/strong>One great way to prevent overheating is to keep your phone out of direct sunlight. Although it may be convenient to keep your phone out in the sunlight so you have easy access to it when you\u2019re outside, it\u2019s really terrible for your phone. Your phone absorbs sunlight and heat and remains hot, which can damage your hardware. Keep your phone tucked away in a cool bag or else indoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another way to keep your phone from overheating is by turning your brightness down. Having your brightness turned all the way up will affect your battery and force it to work harder, therefore heating up your phone. Also, if you\u2019re not using your phone, try turning it to airplane mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If it\u2019s too late and you can feel your phone is hot and already overheating, there are a few things you can do to cool it off and prevent further damage. You should take your phone case off if it\u2019s overheating because the case traps the heat. By removing the case you are allowing the phone\u2019s heat vents to run without being blocked by the case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As summer comes to an end, it&#8217;s important to protect your phone from overheating and resulting hardware problems in the summer heat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":83,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_crdt_document":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[194],"tags":[30,1203,1673,231,67,223],"class_list":["post-14421","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tips-tutoriais","tag-android","tag-android-phone","tag-android-tips","tag-overheating","tag-smartphone","tag-tips"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14421","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14421"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14421\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19714,"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/14421\/revisions\/19714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14421"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=14421"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=14421"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
