Good day, friends. Many of you are faced with such a problem, which seems to be not serious, and at the same time makes you nervous. Yes, we are talking about those very moments when the Galaxy S8 is heated. What can provoke its heating, and is it normal?
It is logical to think that the modern Korean flagships of the eighth model have incredible performance power. Now look at the size of this powerful apparatus, it is quite normal that when performing a colossal number of processes and at high speed, the frame of the smartphone begins to heat up. After all, this kid does not have the same cooler for cooling, which is installed on personal computers.
Influence of the design of the Galaxy S8 case on its heating
We hope everything is not so bad for you đ Korean developers set themselves ambitious goals, and on Galaxy example The S8 implement them without any doubt. this model, they are enclosed in a glass shell. Also, they are constantly working on its ergonomics so that it is not bulky and comfortably held in the user's hand.
Therefore, due to the minimized dimensions of the smartphone, it is sometimes quite normal to feel its elevated temperature when it performs numerous operations.
The impact of heat on the Galaxy S8
Due to the climatic conditions in which the owner of the eighth flagship lives. It may overheat when exposed to direct sunlight. We do not recommend to allow such an impact, as a result of which the Galaxy S8 overheats. Of course, this will not bring significant harm to him, but it may well cause minor problems.
Galaxy S8 gets hot while charging
Most likely your gadget gets hot only when charging through the cord. Because when the user uses wireless charging, there is no increase in case temperature.
What can cause it to heat up when charging through USB cable? Most likely, work on the phablet while recharging. It has long been known to everyone that when the phone is charging, it is better not to use it yet. Fans of different games often face this, but the desire to reach a new level always outweighs them, and it doesnât even scare the fact that the Galaxy S8 is hot as a boiled potato.
Do not try to repeat at home đ When you feel the warmth of a smartphone, this is its normal state and there is no reason to panic. At least that means it's working, which isn't a bad thing :) Okay, jokes aside. Do not be afraid if your phablet is hot after charging, you just need to know how to use it. Let's take a look at the main recommendations to minimize its overheating:
- The very first and fundamental advice would be to not keep a bunch of apps active in the background. This harmful unintentional habit affects many, you need to close applications and do not exit them. So you not only save charging, reduce the temperature of the entire case, but also give your smartphone an extra year of life.
- Many do not attach importance to the functions that I work in offline. Such as, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, NFC, etc. And leaving them on, put the phone on charge. And they, in turn, contribute to its heating.
- Sometimes you can notice for yourself that when you launch this or that application, you feel that something is wrong. The gadget starts to dull, work at high speeds, warm up with terrible force. Of course, it is better to get rid of such a program right away, and find something alternative.
- In the most extreme case, if things are really bad, and your smartphone is abnormally hot. Try to use during the day, the minimum applications you need. If this does not help, then you can do it. To eliminate the possibility of problems with program work smartphone.
- Well, if this does not help you, and the Galaxy S8 heats up further. In this case, it is best to visit a Samsung service workshop. Especially if you have a guarantee on hand, feel free to go.
Now you know, when the Galaxy S8 gets hot, it means that its processor is overcoming high loads. Therefore, there is no reason to sound the alarm, it would be nice if manufacturers would indicate it allowable temperature. So we would know exactly when he is healthy and when he is sick. In general, describe your situation in the comments, we will understand!
Video: Why is the phone heating up?
Overheating of gadgets in our time, unfortunately, is not uncommon. Most of the flagship devices sin with this, and it doesnât matter what echelon the device is, and itâs clear why this happens: very powerful hardware is often hidden inside the case, and there is no cooling system as such, hence the high temperatures. Now we will talk about solving this problem for Xiaomi smartphones.
If Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro gets very hot, the solution will be a banal firmware update, and everything is so simple, because the company itself published data on complaints about heating, which made it necessary to figure it out. According to the manager of the Indian office, the new programming code will help the device to correctly adjust the processor frequency, depending on the temperature of the chipset and battery. The update number, by the way, is V6.5.4.0 LXIMICD, and it weighs 804 megabytes, and it is found not only for the smartphones mentioned above.
The second option is relevant if Xiaomi Mi4 is heated with MIUI 8 version installed. To implement it, open the "battery" section, the "advanced" sub-item and disable application management, which will reduce the load on the processor, as a result, the same will happen with the temperature. Usually, such an action solves the problem instantly, but it is worth remembering that after a reboot, the function may turn on again, because of which a âpiece of hellâ will be in your hands, and this is true for any device running MIUI 8 version, not even from Xiaomi.
The following method can be used on any Android device, since it is associated with too much memory usage Google services. This "infection" loves to be updated "in the background", using the network, processor and memory of the smartphone. It is very easy to deal with it - in the settings Google account turns off automatic update applications, all stop unnecessary services, like Play-movies, after which the device will warm up much less.
General methods
To determine how to solve problems, you need to determine the source of their occurrence. So, heating can be caused by the active use of networks, the use of heavy 3D applications, a long conversation on mobile communications watching long videos high resolution, communication using various network technologies, long-term screen operation at full brightness, connection charger with high power rating and so on.
You can solve such problems very simply: turn off for a few minutes everything that causes extreme temperatures of the case or the front panel of the smartphone. Of course, when it comes to charging, it should simply be placed on a flat surface that won't retain heat near the device, and it's best to choose something solid. A sofa or bed is a poor choice for this process, as it will cause a rise in temperature, which may cause the latter to fail.
Do not forget about using only original components for charging the gadget: Chinese counterparts for 50 rubles from the transition can carry a hidden threat in the form of mixed up contacts or poor-quality wire insulation, and the consequences of a short circuit during charging can be fatal for the phone. Of course, you need to remember about cheap cases: if you use non-thermal cases, like those made of leather, thick silicone, fur, then it is better to get rid of them, at least while charging or stress-using the device, so the use of branded accessories is so important .
Another reason, by the way, could be the use a large number background applications. Such a problem is âtreatedâ nowhere easier: by simply closing processes through the multitasking menu. Of course, only in 50-60 percent of cases, a simple swipe can completely "remove" a certain process from the background. This situation requires only one action: stopping the task through the application menu, opened from the settings. You can also "cut" this application through root rights, but this is a topic for another article.
conclusions
After all the operations performed on a working smartphone, the heating should decrease by 30-50 percent. If everything is still the same, the stuffing of the device is clearly âunwellâ, it needs to urgently get into service center where it will be dismantled, tested, and then repaired if necessary.
Remember also about the features of some gadgets and their hardware: Qualcomm's Snapdragon 810, for example, will almost always heat up to 50-60 degrees, but no more, however, some manufacturers manage to make even the "real devil" of the industry "cold".
UPD. Mass problem with overheating and discharging Xiaomi smartphones starting from 10/16/2018. We express our gratitude to the Xiaomi community and our readers who help and share solutions to problems.
Increased battery consumption and heating arose due to the next update Google programs duo. You need to remove updates from this program and disable automatic updates of Google services for a while (until the problem is fixed).
- Go to settings;
- Open "All Applications";
- We find among them "Duo" and go;
- At the bottom, click "Uninstall updates";
- We confirm;
- We open Google Play, go to the left menu;
- Go to "Settings";
- Open the item "Auto-update applications";
- Select "Never" and confirm;
After that, it is advisable to restart the phone, the problem should be fixed. Most likely in the near future Google will release a new update that fixes this glitch, and you can turn auto-update back on.
Which laptop does not heat up? There is no such thing. Firstly, due to its compact size, air circulates worse in it (compared to computer system units). Secondly, laptops are usually not designed for games and other "heavy" programs. Of course, you can run them, but not for long - the processor, video card and other components heat up very quickly, and the cooler does not have time to cool them. So there is no need for breaks.
Why is my laptop overheating?
The causes of laptop overheating are very commonplace. And half of them are the negligence of users who do not follow the rules of operation.
For example, the first and most commonplace reason- it's dust. The noise comes from the cooler: the more dusty it is, the stronger the sound.
In addition, dust clogs the ventilation holes, which impairs the performance of the cooling system. As a result, the laptop heats up to 90 degrees, starts to fail and slow down.
In some cases, it turns off completely. This is the overheating protection of the laptop. When the temperature becomes critical (above 100 degrees), the processor or video card may burn out. That's why the laptop turns off from overheating (to prevent damage). And in the next 30 minutes, it may not turn on at all - until it cools down.
Also, the laptop heats up quickly if you work on soft surfaces. And again, this problem occurs due to the fault of the users. Watching movies on the bed and then wondering why the laptop gets so hot. The reason for this is simple: soft surfaces block the openings and interfere with normal air circulation. Plus, there is much more dust on sofas and beds than on a table - and it also gets inside the laptop.
If you play modern toys, then the laptop video card will overheat. Indeed, during the launch of the game, it heats up to a high temperature (on computers in the same way). But on laptops, you have to take breaks, because one cooler can not cope with cooling (in system blocks usually more than one fan is installed).
If you run heavy programs (Photoshop, video editors), then the laptop processor will overheat. Although it is loaded during games. In this case, you also need to take breaks.
Of course, there are reasons that do not depend on users. These include breakage of the cooler and drying of thermal paste. How to define it? If the laptop heats up in idle time (on the desktop) or turns off by itself, then most likely there are problems with the cooler or thermal paste.
Thermal paste is applied to the processor and video card. And it is a must! With thermal paste, the temperature of the components is 30-40 degrees, and without it - 60-80 and above. And it's idle!
Another reason is high air temperature. This usually happens in the summer: in the hot season, laptops heat up for everyone. And even for no particular reason. But if in winter you sit near the battery or heater, then do not be surprised why the laptop heats up and makes noise. In this case, it must be placed away from the heat source.
The above reasons are typical for all models: Asus, Acer, Lenovo, Samsung, Sony, HP Pavilion. Even powerful gaming laptops from MSI with a good cooling system are not immune from overheating. Especially if you play for a long time.
How to know if a laptop is overheating?
- Loud fan noise. Due to the high temperature inside the case, the system increases the fan speed. And you start to hear it. Also, the laptop makes a lot of noise if the cooler is clogged with dust. While playing or working in the program, this is acceptable. But if the laptop makes noise immediately after turning it on, then there are obvious problems with the cooling system.
- Hull heating. You can easily understand it on the keyboard. If the buttons are warm - this is the norm. But if they are so hot that you cannot touch them, turn off the laptop and let it cool down. And then look for the cause of such a high temperature.
- Unstable work. The laptop slows down, works slowly, sometimes freezes. This also signals possible problems with a cooling system (although here it may be not only in it, but also in the hard drive).
- The presence of defects on the display. If strange stripes, squares, ripples appear on the screen, this clearly indicates problems with the video card (perhaps not only overheating, but also breakdown).
- Faulty USB ports. Responsible for their work south bridge. If it gets very hot, some USB connectors may not work.
- Shutdown or reboot for no reason. This works to protect the laptop from overheating.
What to do with such a laptop?
For example, if the laptop is very hot and noisy, then the matter is most likely dust. Do you remember the last time you cleaned it? If for a long time - it makes sense to give it to a service center or clean it yourself (if you know how). Dust cleaning is recommended at least once a year.
If the laptop gets hot while playing games, here are a few solutions:
- take breaks every 2-3 hours (depending on how quickly the laptop heats up);
- play only on discrete graphics card, and the rest of the time, use the built-in one - it generates less heat (and the first one will cool at this time);
- Place the laptop on a level surface and away from the battery and other heat sources.
Another reason is the lack of performance. Modern toys load weak laptops very heavily, as a result of which they constantly overheat. And here there are 2 options: either play old games, or buy a new model. Or try to reduce the load by setting minimum settings in Game.
If the laptop heats up in idle time, you need to check the performance of the cooler. And in the event of a breakdown, repair or replace it.
If the laptop heats up to 90 degrees, be sure to check the thermal paste on the video card or processor. If it is dry, you need to contact the service center or apply it yourself. If after replacing the thermal paste the laptop still heats up, then there are 2 options: either it was applied incorrectly, or this was not the cause of overheating.
In this case, you also need to check the thermal paste and the performance of the cooler.
If the laptop overheats and turns off during the game, then the problem here is most likely in the video card. Either some defects, or the thermal paste has dried up. Although your laptop might just be too weak for the toy you're running. That's why he fades.
- place it only on flat surfaces (table or stand) and forget about sofas, armchairs and beds;
- periodically take the laptop to a service center for cleaning from dust (at least once a year);
- install new system cooling (if the old one does not cope with its task);
- use a laptop cooling pad.
The last option is the most efficient. It allows you to reduce overheating even in summer, plus with a stand you can work on your favorite sofa.
Remember that overheating of components is no joke. They can burn out, and then costly repairs will be required. Or even buying new parts. Therefore, if your laptop gets very hot, it needs to be fixed as soon as possible.
