When you use your phone, it doesn’t overheat when used normally but when too many apps or say graphic-intensive apps are involved, overheating problem is just one of the thing you can be worried about. Although it might seem that overheating problem is not that severe but indeed it is because when the phone gets heated up, it deals with a varying of factors affecting the device’s performance, battery backup, and overall functionality of the device. This is why you must keep a tab on core temperature of the device but say that you did but it didn’t help, what do you do? Fortunately, you are in the right place as we are discussing the same here with respect to Koolnee but of course, you can apply it to other smartphones as well.
How To Fix Koolnee Overheating Problem – Troubleshooting Fix & Tips
Before you can actually commence knowing how to fix this issue, let us see what causes it in the first place. Smartphones are backed by batteries that enable it to do stuff by powering the SoC, GPU, and other components that run software on the device and so on. However, it is a basic Physics property that when there’s a moment, there’s heat generation and it is directly proportioned to each other. Processors come with throttling mechanism along with heat sink and other applications, however, sometimes the phone becomes too hot to handle. This is where the troubleshooting methods for fixing the overheating problem come into play.
Method #1: Give it a rest
You are holding your phone and observe that its temperature is rising. Since you know the usual temperature or at feel it when using it, a little change is easy to gauge and that is when you knew that the phone is heating up. In such a scenario, I would recommend you to stop whatever you are doing and give it a rest. Further, press the power button to shut down the phone for a couple of minutes when the device brings its core temperature to an ordinary level which is when you can restart the phone and it accordingly.
Method #2: Prevent overusing the device
My smartphone offers 5+ hours of constant usage which I can extend if I divide the SoT throughout the day which involves playing heavy games and watching videos, music, working, calling, texting, etc. But hey, what good is a smartphone if you can’t use it as much as you want. Unfortunately, if you have that opinion about using the phone, you are basically overusing the device more than you should. The easy way to gauge if that’s true is to recall if the battery drains faster or if the SoT duration that you can find within Settings >> Battery >> Battery Usage is lower than usual. There is no rocket science here, prevent overusing the device and you could add a counter-point against the overheating problem.
