Not only can a hot device be miserable day to day, but the extreme heat produced could shorten the life of the battery, processor, and other internal components. Let\u2019s look at a few ways your phone might be overheating and how you can improve the situation, so both you and your smartphone can get on with life.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fancy Ginormous Cases
\n<\/b>While some of us love to adorn our phones in leather for its prestige or solid cases for ultimate protection, your choice of a\u00a0case could actually be stressing out your phone. Materials like leather don\u2019t breath and allow in airflow, while a lighter silicone or rubber case does. <\/span><\/p>\n

Are you an intense gamer? While our devices have become experts at reproducing previous generation console quality, their form factors were never designed with maximum ventilation in mind. When gaming, you\u2019re challenging both your CPU and GPU to work to their fullest extent. <\/span><\/p>\n

Similar to when using your Wi0Fi card like there\u2019s no tomorrow, you may find yourself with little battery life and a hot phone in your hand. Take it as a sign to get up, stretch your legs, and have a break from the screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Running Endless Applications
\n<\/b>In the end, everything comes back to basics. Your phone could just be overheating because it has too many processes running in the background. Android phones have the ability to switch between multiple apps, well before other mobile options on the market did. However, with great power comes responsibility, and your overheating phone might mean <\/span>closing what\u2019s happening in the background.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

Apps hogging up memory and sucking up power is an ongoing problem. Luckily, you can download an app like\u00a0dfndr security<\/a><\/span>, which includes a cpu cooler feature<\/span> to cool down your Android by closing background apps with a single tap. If you are a gamer, the function can do double duty to reduce\u00a0lag time and free up more resources for your epic gaming battles.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
