When you are listening to songs:
It is normal if you feel that your phone is overheated when you are listening to songs
with the screen turned on, especially in hot weathers. Your phone's music playback
quality has been improved and more heat may be generated while songs are playing. If
you feel you're your phone is overheated, reduce the volume. Also don't play games or
perform other operations while you are listening to songs.
When you are charging your phone:
−
Temperatures are high in summer, so it is normal that your phone gets overheated. Do
not use your phone when charging it.
−
Do not place your phone in bed or a place with good thermal insulation. Otherwise,
the heat generated by charging cannot be well dissipated. Place your phone on a table
or other places with good heat dissipation conditions when charging it.
Recommendations for reducing excessive phone heat:
1. Choose appropriate brightness and volume settings. When adjusting screen brightness,
remember that if your screen is too bright a lot of power will be consumed, it may bother your
eyes, and the back of your phone will get hot. Try adjusting the brightness to an average level
and also allowing the phone to automatically adjust the screen brightness.
Setup instructions: Go to Settings > Display > Brightness level. Adjust the brightness slider
to the middle and select Adaptive brightness. Also, in the drop-down notification panel
menu at the top there is also a slider that controls screen brightness.
When adjusting the volume level, remember that if the volume is too high your phone will
consume power quickly and the bottom on the back will get hot. Try setting the volume to an
average level or lower and don't keep your phone at a high volume level for a long time.
2. Choose the appropriate power saving strategy.
Go to Settings > Battery > Menu > Battery saver and enable battery saver mode to reduce
heat and improve performance.
3. Turn off GPS when not in use.
Turning off GPS: When you are not using GPS, turn it off. Many third-party apps send
requests for your location information. If there is no GPS signal when you are inside,
frequently activating GPS clearly increases phone power usage. Go to Settings > Location
and turn off GPS.
4. Reduce the number of apps used at the same time: The Android system supports running
multiple apps at the same time. When multiple apps are running at the same time, phone
power usage and heat increase. Please reduce the number of running apps and close apps that
aren't needed.
Conveniently clean up apps running in the background: To close apps running in the
background, touch and hold the bottom right icon in the virtual navigation bar to show
recently used apps. Swipe your finger left or right to stop apps that do not need to run in the
background.
To determine if any app is consuming a lot of power, check the list of apps ranked by power
consumption in Settings > Battery and look at the apps that are consuming comparatively
more power. If some apps you don't normally use are consuming comparatively more power,
try stopping the apps from running or uninstalling them.
