Smartphones have built-in throttling system embedded in its SoC or System-on-Chip as it prevents the phone from getting heated above a critical limit but at times, the SoC is incapable of practicing the throttle feature or the temperature is beyond its limit and thus, phone overheats and this could potentially cause physical damage to the internal components or the parts which are susceptible to heat if not the fire engulfs the entire phone if the temperature is just too high. If you are using a Gome smartphone, you probably have already faced the Gome overheating problem and that’s because of which you are here I guess. So, the question is, how do you fix it? How do you fix Gome overheating problem or at least minimize it below the critical and damaging levels? Here are a few ways you can achieve the goal.
Stop using the phone under sunlight
If you are traveling someone or at a beach or there’s no shadow and you are using the phone, it is meant to heat up since any material used in a smartphone like aluminum or metal or plastic, these are sensitive to heat and will heat up if exposed for a long time and that’s not a good news for any of the internal components as well as the battery and the display. Thus, you must limit using the phone under bright sunlight or if it is too obvious to use the phone such way, I recommend you to use sporadically by using it for few minutes and then, letting it cool in a dry and shadowed place for few minutes and then use again.
Close all the programs
This is one of the biggest reason why smartphone overheat. To explain, a smartphone has to physically move things or say, electrons from the battery to the components to get things done. This moment can generate heat and a lot of programs if opened, can generate a lot of heat and thus, raise the temperature of the phone. The solution is to close all the programs the moment you feel like the phone is getting hot and that’s when you can keep the phone below the critical temperature. Note that phone usually heat up when using graphics intensive games or apps or even making calls but the thing to keep in the tab is, it mustn’t rise above usual temperature.
Stop all the connectivity services
There are a lot of connectivity services on a smartphone such as a network, wifi, GPS, NFC, Bluetooth etc. Now, if you keep them turned on, it will munch on the battery life but that’s the least of concern. When not in use but still turned on, these features can add to the abnormal battery being drawn from the battery which in turns means, more work is to be done and that means more heat and eventually overheating problem isn’t too far from it. Thus, the solution is to stop these connectivity services and features when not in use. For better results, turn off all the services and enable airplane mode for a few minutes to bring down the phone’s temperature quickly.
