Obviously, if there is a heat wave with 40 degrees on the street, your smartphone will arrive before heat levels that prevent you to perform certain tasks. If your device overheats often and sometimes seem to take lava pocket, you need to find the cause and remedy for this problem.

Battery Problems
If the area of your smartphone warming is most often the back, it is possible that it is a battery problem. To check if this is the case of your terminal, you can use the USSD code * # * # 4636 # * # * for information on using your phone. Some smartphones, such as the Huawei brand, do not accept this code.
Once inside this menu, go to the section 'Battery Information'. Here you will find, among other things, the temperature of your terminal. The normal temperature of a phone at rest should be around 30 ° C, but if we have been using more powerful applications, such as video games, it is normal to rise to almost 40 ° C.
The 'Battery Status' section will also help us to know if there is a problem. If shows us anything other than 'Good' (eg 'status unknown'), restart your phone and turn it back check. If you continue to receive the same message, our battery may be defective and needed to replace it.
Problems with charger
If overheating is especially true when loading the phone and is particularly noticeable in the part where the charging plug is, it is more than likely that the problem is the charger you are using. This can happen when we are using a charger that is not approved by the manufacturer. Try to use another and see if the problem persists. If not, get rid of the old charger.
Performance Issues
If none of the solutions explained above seems to work, or if overheating occurs in other areas (the screen, the handset, the top ...) it is possible that the phone is overheating for other reasons.
Video game
Today, some of the games available on Play Store have an unimaginable quality for a terminal the size of our smartphone. Unfortunately, this also means that in order to make them work, we need our phone has certain characteristics (mainly a powerful processor), so if the specifications of our smartphone are limited, not only the gaming experience will be much worse, but our device will likely be charged.
Still, even the most powerful terminals may become warm after hours of play. No matter how good the specifications of our terminals, they also have their limitations, so it is necessary to be aware of how to use the application correctly.
Background Applications
Moderated by the number of widgets that are active and applications running in the background on the terminal. Animated wallpapers, several widgets of time, time and date, media players ... When all of these work at the same time, our CPU is forced to overwork and, as a result, the temperature of our phone will rise.
Hardware
The size of your terminal, type of processor or any part that has replaced the phone can determine the heat emitted by your phone. If the sobrecalemiento has begun after replacing a piece of the terminal, this could be the cause. Please report the site repairs for more information.

The controversy Snapdragon 810
One of the problems he had to face chipmaker Qualcomm was the strong criticism it received its Snapdragon 810, and its supposed effect of overheating in some terminals. This chip was included in some of the key smartphones last year, as the HTC One M9 or the LG G Flex 2 .
It has never been known for sure if these criticisms were well founded, since the opinion of phone users with this processor was divided. Qualcomm's vice president, Tim McDonough, explained that this was totally false, revealing that it was merely a strategy to focus Samsung undecided buyers in the launch of its Galaxy S6 .
