Mobile Phone Heating Problem

Mobile Phone Heating Problem

There are situation when a mobile cell phone of any brand including Samsung, Nokia, LG, iPhone, Micromax, Motorola, Xiaomi (Mi), Oppo, Lenovo, ZTE, China Mobile Phones etc may start overheating and fast draining battery.

This can happen inside the mobile phone or on the body of the Android Smartphone. There can be different reasons and symptoms of this heating problem. Different reasons will have different solutions.

How to Solve and Fix Mobile Phone Heating Problem

  1. Check if the mobile phone gets heated when a particular application is running or the heating happens always. Check the heating point and running application status with normal status.
  2. Upgrade the mobile phone software / operating system to the latest OS. This may solve the heating problem.
  3. Many smartphones like Samsung Galaxy series, Nokia Smartphones, iPhone and Blackberry and even China Mobile Phones start overheating and fast battery draining if too many applications are running at the same time. This is because the processor has to do too many jobs at the same time. Close all the applications and try to run 1 application at a time to avoid mobile phone heating problem.
  4. If heating happens then there is some internal hardware problem. Most Mobile phone service centers and mobile phone repairing experts like me will change the Phone PCB or Logic Board to solve the heating problem.
  5. One of the Major Reason of Android Smartphone or iPhone starting overheating and fast battery draining because of Shorting in the PCB.This shorting can be of two types – Half-Short and Full Short.If the Board is Half-Short the the Android Smartphone or iPhone or any Feature Phone will work but there will be issues like overheating quickly and fast battery draining. To fix this problem, the technician has to check the Board for any Faulty Small Part of the Phone and Remove or Replace it. In most cases it is a small SMD Capacitor or Diode.If there is Full Short in the Board then the Phone will not get switched ON. It is a Dead Phone.

Mobile Phone Heating Problem FAQs

Yes, using your phone while it's charging can cause it to overheat because it increases the device's workload, leading to more heat generation. Additionally, charging generates heat, and if the phone is already under a lot of stress, it can't dissipate the heat effectively, leading to overheating.

To prevent your phone from overheating, you can take several measures such as keeping it away from direct sunlight, closing unused apps, avoiding heavy usage while charging, turning off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use, and removing phone cases while charging.

Yes, it's normal for mobile phones to get warm during usage, especially during heavy usage such as playing games, watching videos, or using the camera for extended periods. However, if the phone gets too hot, it can cause damage to the battery or other internal components, so it's essential to keep an eye on its temperature.

Yes, a damaged battery can cause a mobile phone to overheat. When a battery is damaged, it can't hold a charge efficiently, leading to more heat generation during charging. Additionally, a damaged battery can also cause the phone to shut down or behave erratically, so it's crucial to get it replaced as soon as possible.

  9. jane says:

    my phone was overheated and the ic was changed by the repaired shop but the phone automatically switch off and sometimes the camera is not working. why is this still happening after my phone’s ic got fixed?

    • They NEVER Change any IC. They just make fool of people. Most ICs are Not even available in the Open Market. There is shorting in the PCB of your Phone. Shorting means some Electronic Components is Faulty and need to be Removed. Most Tiny Capacitors don’t even need replacement. Just removing them will do the job.

    • You can get it from Lava itself. I don’t think any other supplier will be able to provide it. It is better to Buy another Phone of some Trusted Brand. Lava is Poor.
