Common Causes

  • Using the phone in direct sunlight or hot environments
  • Running a demanding game or video app for a long time
  • Charging while using heavy apps
  • A misbehaving app using the processor excessively

How to Fix It — Step by Step

  1. 1

    Stop using your phone immediately and set it down.

  2. 2

    Remove your phone case to help it cool faster.

  3. 3

    Move the phone out of direct sunlight or hot environments.

  4. 4

    Do not put it in the refrigerator or freezer — sudden temperature changes can cause damage.

  5. 5

    Wait 10-15 minutes for it to cool down.

  6. 6

    Close all apps before using it again.

  7. 7

    If it overheats regularly, check which apps use the most battery — they are likely causing the heat.
