Why Is My Phone Overheated - Huawei Nexus 6P Faqs

1.11 Why is my phone overheated?


When you are surfing the Internet:
− Use the native browser to surf the Internet.
− If you are using a third-party browser, set it to no-picture browsing mode.
− To reduce heat generated by your phone when you are surfing the Internet, make sure
the signal strength occupies all bars.

When you are playing games:
Games consume more battery power than calls, videos, and music. It is recommended
that you don't play games while your phone is charging. Also you can close all
background applications when you are playing games or set the volume level to medium
to reduce the heat and increase your phone's battery life.

When you are using the camera:
Photo or video shooting consume relatively much power, so it is normal if your phone is
overheated, especially in hot weathers. Your phone adopts an independent single reflex
level image processor, OIS lens, and RGBW light sensing component. These
components greatly increase the imaging quality and speed, as well as the consumed
power, leading to the excessive heat generated by your phone in summer. If you sense
that your phone is overheated, stop using the camera for a while to let your phone cool
down.

When you are watching videos:
Video players differ in power consumption due to different codecs. It is recommended
that you use a hardware codec with low power consumption. The pre-installed gallery
and video player on your phone have low power consumption and generate less heat. It is
recommended that you use the pre-installed video player (choose the advanced player
when playing videos). Don't watch videos while your phone is charging.

When you are having video chats:
Video chats consume much power of your phone, which is equal to the power consumed
when you are shooting videos and at the same time uploading and downloading data.
Update your phone if available for the latest optimization.

When you are making calls:
The heat generated by your phone increases rapidly when the signal reception is poor.
Your phone provides the industry leading heat control function for calls. If you still feel
that your phone generates too much heat during calls, check whether your phone's
reception is poor. To reduce the power consumption and heat generated by your phone, it
is recommended that you don't keep your screen on for a long time during calls, or
charge your phone during calls.

When you are using a navigation application:
Navigation applications consume much power of your phone, so it is normal that your
phone is overheated. If you haven't downloaded an offline map to your phone, map data
will keep being downloaded during navigation and your phone will generate more heat.
Your phone also gets overheated if you are using your phone in a car, or the signal is
weak or unstable (the RF transmission power increases). Therefore, do not use your
phone in a place with high temperatures or directly in sunlight.

When you are using a stock speculation application:
Stock speculation applications require real-time network access to refresh data, which
consumes much power of your phone, so your phone gets overheated especially in hot
weathers. To address this problem: Close background applications after you check the
stock data.
