Regular or uncomfortable smartphone heat during charging, gaming, or pocket use may indicate a deeper issue.

Baiki Phone Malaysia addresses concerns about overheating phones, highlighting common reasons, reducing solutions, and advising seeking professional help when necessary.

 

1. Overactive Apps or Background Processes

Some apps continue running in the background even when not in use. These apps use:

• CPU power
• Internet data
• Battery resources

To reduce phone usage, close unused apps, check battery usage, and restart to reset background activity, especially when using apps like games or social media.

 

2. Prolonged Charging or Faulty Chargers

Charging naturally causes some heat, but if your phone becomes hot while plugged in, it might be due to:

• A damaged charging cable or adapter
• A low-quality third-party charger
• Charging while using the phone heavily (e.g. watching videos, gaming)

To ensure optimal charging, use original or high-quality certified chargers, avoid phone usage during charging, and unplug after reaching 100%.

 

3. Environmental Heat or Sun Exposure

Leaving your phone in a hot car, under direct sunlight, or in your pocket on a hot day can trap heat and damage internal parts—especially the battery.

What you can do:

• Keep your phone in a shaded area
• Remove the phone case temporarily to help cool it down
• Avoid leaving it in closed cars or hot environments

 

4. Software Bugs or Outdated System

Sometimes, bugs in apps or system software can cause excessive CPU use and heating—even when the phone is idle.

What you can do:

• Check for system updates
• Update all apps from the app store
• Perform a factory reset if heating continues (but back up data first)

 

5. Failing Battery or Hardware Issues

If your phone is older or has been dropped or exposed to moisture, the battery or internal components might be failing. A swollen or degraded battery can cause abnormal heat and is a potential fire hazard.
