Phones are generally known for heating up too much even in normal usage sometimes. And although it seems normal, this might be a sign of that device having some sort of problem with its hardware or software.
Is heating is bad for a device? Of course. If the device heats up too much, this can cause hardware issues in the future such as battery degradement, low performance, and much more. Try following this guide as it might fix your issues.
Check if an app runs in background
- If there’s an app open in the background (or runs without you noticing), there’s a way to check that. Follow the procedure below.
- Enter Settings.
- Go to the Battery section.
Scroll down. - You will see the apps that are recently running in the background and draining your battery which might be heating the device. Try uninstalling these apps.
If it still didn’t work, continue the process below.
Try rebooting
While this might sound a little too basic, it might become useful if the phone itself has some bloatware that keeps running in the background. Giving a reboot might stop the phone from keep running that bloatware.
If it still continues it, try removing the bloatware. If it still didn’t work, continue following the procedure.
Try factory resetting the device
If none of the above methods didn’t work, it might be a software problem with the phone, which factory resetting the device might fix the issue. Doing this will erase your all data.
- Enter Settings.
- Search for reset.
- Go to Factory reset.
- Tap Erase all data.
- Confirm the step.
- Your phone will be factory reset now.
Try giving it to repair
