If you play your favorite games on your mobile phone, you will notice that your device will eventually get hot and the battery will start to drain quickly. Here, we’ll give you some handy tips to fix them.
Change the graphics settings in your game
Like PC games, many mobile games also offer graphics settings. So you can lower them. Of course you’ll lose some quality and the game doesn't look quite as pretty, but you gain some performance and in the best case the temperatures drop.
Give your cell phone a break
If your mobile phone is permanently exposed to high loads, this doesn’t necessarily make sense for your smartphone in the long term.
The longer you game on your phone without taking a break, the hotter the device gets. So take a break from time to time so that your smartphone can cool down a bit.
Decreases the display brightness
A high brightness not only costs a lot of battery, but the temperatures are also higher. If you are mainly indoors and play on the couch or your bed, then lower the brightness.
Also turns off adaptive brightness. The sensor behind it consumes energy and also causes your cell phone to get warm in the long run.
With a lower brightness, you not only lower the temperature of your mobile phone, but also lower the power consumption.
Don't use your phone in direct sunlight
Your cell phone does not like direct sunlight or high outside temperatures. If you sit outside in the sun and play, you expose your cell phone to high temperatures. The cell phone cannot necessarily handle the additional temperatures.
So if you absolutely want to play outside, then sit in the shade or in a cool place.
Don't play while your phone is on the charger
When you charge your cell phone, the cell phone or the battery gets warm. This is also normal and cannot be avoided. Manufacturers often point out in the device manual that heat is generated during charging.
If you now use your phone to play at the same time, you will cause high temperatures in your device. You should therefore absolutely avoid playing and charging your mobile phone at the same time.
Take the phone out of its protective case
Basically, a case or protective cover should protect your device from external damage such as scratches. If your cell phone slips out of your pocket or you are not paying attention, then such a case can protect a lot of money.
However, such a case is only of limited use for active gaming. Because many protective covers are made of thick plastic, leather or other thick materials. This is ideal for protecting your hardware, but is only suitable to a limited extent for "breathing" or active heat exchange.
Some cases are built in such a way that they neither let fresh air into your phone nor the warm air outside. The protective sleeves trap heat and block ventilation. Without adequate ventilation, the phone quickly becomes hot.
Uninstall apps that claim to cool your phone
There are plenty of apps for both Android and iOS that promise to cool your cell phone. They look attractive and promise a lot, but never deliver anything. Instead, such "cooling" apps steal your personal data.
