Texans have been enduring an intense heat wave, and now millions of people across the southern and central United States are about to join them. As we look to stay informed and connected during this time, it’s important to remember that our smartphones can also suffer from overheating. Usually, our phones get warm for harmless reasons like playing games or using high-speed chargers. However, during hot summer days or heat waves, our phones may struggle to release the excess heat. This can lead to the phone shutting down until it cools down. To keep your phone functional and cool in extreme heat, here are some tips:
1. Keep your phone out of the sun: Using your phone in direct sunlight can cause it to absorb heat quickly. Additionally, the brightness of the screen may increase, putting more strain on the phone. It’s crucial to keep your phone away from direct sunlight.
2. Avoid pushing your phone too hard: Limit the usage of your phone, especially activities that require a lot of processing power like capturing videos or using it as a mobile hotspot.
3. Consider removing phone cases: Some cases can trap heat, making it harder for the phone to dissipate the heat. If possible, remove the case or store the phone in a bag or pocket that doesn’t directly touch your body.
4. Use low-power mode: Enable the low-power mode feature on your phone. This mode disables certain functions and processes to conserve battery and prevent overheating. Android phones have a similar feature called Battery Saver or Power Saving Mode.
5. Turn off your phone: If all else fails, the best way to prevent overheating is to turn off your phone and place it in a cool environment.
Is it safe to put my phone in the fridge?
While it may seem tempting, putting your phone in a refrigerator is not recommended. Rapid cooling in a moist environment can cause condensation and damage the device. Additionally, extreme temperature changes can pose risks. Instead, try placing your phone on a cool surface or using a cool object like a portable ice pack, wrapped in a towel, to gradually cool it down.
By following these tips, you can ensure that your phone remains functional and cool during hot weather conditions. Stay connected without worrying about overheating issues.
