Although it doesn’t seem like too many people modern smartphones have to do to work internally to get things done. When you are using your phone, electricity moves from the battery to the various components mounted on the PCB combinedly and that is when the work is done. All the smartphones have built-in throttling system onboard its SoC that works by throttling the power available and being drawn thus, not allowing the phone to overheat. But there are cases when smartphones have been reported to overheat where a number of underlying reasons are responsible. For this post, we are talking about Alcatel Overheating problem which is common on all Alcatel smartphones but it is preventable and avoidable, here’s how you can fix it in the first place.
#1: Avoid direct sunlight
This is one of the major cause of overheating when the user unknowingly uses their smartphone in broad daylight under the sun. Although tiny bit exposure to direct sunlight isn’t harmful to the phone, it could turn severe if the exposure is lengthy while there are too many apps running together which means there is a lot of movement which translates to increasing core temperature. Thus, avoid direct sunlight or long exposure.
#2: Viruses are not healthy at all
Viruses are meant to cause harm to the system of which, some viruses are meant to cause system failure, software glitch and even hardware failure in some cases. Viruses can also spike the usage of battery power by inducing apps to become hungry for power and the energy is drawn from the battery. The increase in power drawn translates to increased movement and thus, overheating is an imminent and immediate cause. Thus, you’ll have to fix this issue by putting the viruses and other threats in quarantine.
#3: Phone case and how it suffocates the phone
What do you do to protect your phone from physical or water damage? Most of the people who say they use phone case or cover to protect their smartphones which is a common practice. When a smartphone generates heat, it must radiate somewhere and while a phone without a phone case might not find it difficult to do so, smartphones with cases made up of some specific material might act as an insulator thus preventing the heat to radiate in the atmosphere. This phenomenon will continue until the user takes appropriate steps to prevent and gradually and over time, the phone will overheat which is a condition that must be avoided as it can physically damage the components on the PCB as well as the touchscreen, etc.
All rubbish as the phone only stays on for 2 or 3 seconds before turning off so none of the above are possible.
