How To Check Your Phone Temperature?
In your Android smartphones, if you are experiencing heating issues you can easily check your phone temperature by just going to Settings > Search for battery option > Open battery information where you can check your battery heat sensitivity. Apple users can check the battery’s health using third-party software. Moreover, Android mobiles have the built-in feature that if your app is consuming memory or affecting battery life it might notify you whether to delete the app or make it hibernate. Besides this, there are some apps from which you can check your battery health status.
- AIDA64 – the manufacturer covers all the important information regarding the phone battery’s health and temperature ratings. The app is available for Android and iOS.
- CPU-Z – This will work only for Android phones. The app will give you clear information and can detect CPU temperatures to verify your phone is not overheating.
- Cooling Master – this app is designed for Android phones (Samsung) to check overheating. It can also allow you to shut down all the problematic apps.
- For iOS — there is no such app that can detect the iPhone temperature settings but still, you can use third-party apps to check your phone is not malfunctioning.
The normal temperature ratings for phones range from 32°F to 95°F (0℃ to 35℃) the optimal internal temperature for cell phones. It is also considered normal when the temperature range is between 97.5°F to 109°F (36℃ to 43℃). But above this temperature rating, there is some issue. Your phone is getting overheated and you need to cool down your device to protect it from other damage or the battery might explode.
Phone Heat — Where It Coming From
When you feel like your phone is heating up there are 3 possible areas — battery is overcharged, CPU, or Charging port. This is due to faulty hardware or software. There is no need to worry because the heating issue can be solved through software or by closing the bulk apps.
Most phones are covered with a protective case made up of plastic, leather, and also transparent plastic to protect the phone from falling and breaking. When the phone gets heated make sure to place your hand on the back of the phone you will know the temperature of the phone is rising. The most common issue is likely to be the battery but still, we cannot say it right that the heating issue is through the battery. All modern phones are pre-installed with a Lithium-Ion Battery which is a very powerful powerhouse for a phone. The overheating may ignite the battery’s solvent and be caused by the overheating of the phone charging.
Another major cause is that while gaming you plug your phone into the charger socket and start playing. This is another major fault that your battery health is suffering and a single loose point for an adapter can break the voltage required to charge the phone.
Another main aspect of the battery overheating or the phone getting hot is charging your device from the UPS point or the inverter which leads to the low voltage or sometimes high voltage that eventually lessens the lifespan of your phone.
Another aspect when you are playing a game on high graphics that may result in producing heat from either the GPU or CPU to cool down the process, lower your game graphics, or if the phone is extremely hot, power off your device.
