Heat wave: how to avoid overheating your smartphone?

The mobile phones little appreciate the heat. The components (processor, battery…) are designed to operate between 0 and 35°C. However, a telephone in full Sun and powered on or charging can easily reach 50°C. To check the temperature of the battery, dial the number *#*#4636#*#*, which allows access to information on its state (be careful, this code does not work on certain phones such as those of Huawei or Honor. You can in this case download one application dedicated as Cooler Master Where Ampere for android Where coconutBattery for iPhone).

Signs of smartphone overheating

• Battery draining quickly.
• Slow to recharge (some smartphones even refuse to recharge in case of high heat to protect the battery).
• Apps that ferment unexpectedly or do not open.
• Screen going black less reagent.

Heat: how to avoid overheating your smartphone

• Place your phone in the shade (and especially not in the glove compartment of the car).
• Disable bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS, which permanently leave the phone on.
• Limit the use of 3D games and streaming.
• Remove the protective shell that prevents heat dissipation.

Can you put your smartphone in the fridge to cool it down?

Especially not ! Going from a high temperature to 4°C will cause a condensation and bringing moisture into the phone, another formidable enemy of electronics. On the other hand, if your smartphone is waterproof, Fnac recommends immersing it in fresh water for a few moments, making sure to close the waterproof covers. Please note: no bathing in salt water!
