How can we cool our mobile if it overheats

Heat is one of the greatest enemies of technology in general and more specifically of terminals. This device that accompanies us to the beach, the pool or on the hardest work days, has to suffer extreme temperatures for which it is far from prepared. A situation that can damage it and that is why it is important to cool the mobile correctly , so that it does not suffer and of course it does not break.

There are those who recommend methods that can make our phone suddenly drop in temperature , such as, for example, putting it in the refrigerator, although this significantly deteriorates the battery of our mobile and can end very badly due to the effects of humidity. Nor should we ignore this situation and continue using it, because otherwise all stored photos and files may be lost forever, as well as the terminal itself.

Take it away from the heat

Faced with a high temperature in the smartphone, the first thing we must do to cool it properly is to move it away from the heat source. If the sun is hitting it directly, it is essential to cover it, shade it and thus prevent the temperature from continuing to rise inside the phone. But this is not enough, because we must also take into account the surfaces on which we place it , since there are materials such as metal that absorb heat and transmit it to the phone itself.

We must also avoid leaving two mobiles together, or the terminal itself with a tablet, as well as other devices. If they get very hot separately, imagine if both are in contact, causing the temperature to multiply and even burn us when we want to touch them.

Take off the case and accessories

Another fundamental step to make the mobile cool down very quickly is based on removing the cover, as simple as it may seem, this prevents the heat from dissipating correctly and the smartphone will heat up more than it should because of it. It can be of great help for accidental drops, but, nevertheless, the heat plays tricks on it, whether it is made of silicone or some other more premium material.

The rest of the components that may be connected to the phone, such as headphones or even a PopSocket, also do not help the smartphone to return to the ideal temperature. These accessories get hot and by being attached to the device, they lengthen the cooling process.

Turn it off or stop using it

In all those cases in which a high temperature alert message appears on the screen, we have to take more determined measures to prevent the phone from burning. The most useful and fastest to lower the temperature of the mobile , in addition to the tips already mentioned, is to pay the terminal immediately. In this way, our smartphone will stop generating heat and gradually eliminate what it has absorbed.

Of course, although it is something that many can imagine, it is key to stop charging the phone. Being connected to the current, the cell generates heat to a greater or lesser extent and that, added to the degrees it already has, is a bigger problem, since we would not be able to cool it no matter how much we follow the other steps.

Cool it down with air

Getting the temperature of the mobile to reduce in a short time and without suffering damage is not an easy task, since we have to help ourselves with the ambient temperature so as not to make a sudden change that damages it, as we have already mentioned. Thinking about the methods used by human beings, we find fans, which serve to remove the air and avoid that suffocating sensation of heat, which we are also going to use in smartphones.

We can put the phone in front of the fan, so that we notice changes within minutes of placing it right in front, or we can help ourselves with the accessories to cool the mobile that can be purchased. There are many types and models to choose from, some created expressly to be used while playing with it, due to the heat that such heavy graphics can generate, but in case we come across a very hot device, we can also put it on for this purpose.

Patience and care so that it does not happen again

When we have put all these tips or at least some of them into practice, we cannot rush to turn on the mobile again or start the games that have led it to be as hot as before. It is better to be calm and let it gradually return to normal, although on the outside it can stop burning our hands, inside the heat is still very much alive and starting to open apps can make it suffer again very soon.

In addition, we advise you to avoid all heavy games that have not been good for your smartphone. Those graphically demanding titles are meant for smartphones with the best processors and in our case, we may be able to move them, but they won’t do you any good.
