Annoyed that your Galaxy S7 keeps running hot? We'll show you exactly what's causing it and how to
fix it fast.Late last year, before the Galaxy S7 was released,
Samsung was rushing to fix an overheating problem with its newest mobile handset.To fix overheating issues, Samsung added a heat-pipe to the inside of the device. The heat-pipe circulates coolant that evaporates into a vapor, which cools the phone down. It then disperses the thermal energy of the phone. This type of technology is already in use with desktop computers.However, even though the South Korean tech company has made efforts to keep the S7 cool, it’s still running hot.Let’s look at a few reasons as to why your phone is heating up:
Here are 4 ways to overheat your phone fast
1. Pack your phone full of apps
Having more apps on your phone will make the circuit board on your phone produce more heat. Delete any unnecessary apps on your phone to stay cooler.
2. Don't ever empty your cache
Having a lot of cache on your phone will make your phones processor work harder to find data, which will lead to extra heat being produced.Use an app like
The Cleaner to clear out your Android phone’s cache to stay cool.
3. Keep every app running in the background
Running apps in the background means that your device is using more RAM/memory.High memory usage leads to more heat being produced. You can also use
The Cleaner to clear your RAM and fix this problem.
4. Use your phone in areas with poor reception
Having a low network signal makes your phone’s CPU work harder to keep a signal. This increased usage drains your battery faster and causes your phone to get hotter.Using a 3G connection on a 4G network, or working with low Wi-Fi reception, are both heat-producing culprits in this case.Move to an area that has excellent reception to stay cool.
