We have heard series of news of phone exploding from Samsung to Infinix ,from Infinix to Xiaomi and the main cause of the explosion is overheating.
It can be hard not to worry when your device is running hot, but if you can get to the cause, you should be able to solve the problem, or, at least, stop it from happening again in the future.
So lets see the list of things causing the overheating and their solutions below:-
1.Whats the cause of the heat?
It’s better to attempt to identify just what is causing your device to heat up. If you’re not running anything heavy, make sure to kill any apps running in the background anyway.
Playing games is often the most common cause of overheating because most phones lack any cooling systems such as the fans you’ll find in computers and consoles. Games tend to push hardware to the limit, and your device will start to overheat depending on just how heavy the game is.
Using your device in the sun can cause it to overheat rapidly, which can lead to battery damage.

2.Hot while charging.
If your device is charging, it’s normal for it to convert some of the power into heat. Keeping it plugged in while gaming will cause it to get hotter, It’s best to leave the device to charge up before using it, as that can cause overheating, and it can damage overall battery life.
However, if your device is becoming extremely hot turn it off and remove it from the charger. Wait for it to cool down completely before turning it back on again. (Make sure you let it cool down naturally.)

3. Is your pouch suffocating your phone.
Almost every pouch is constructed from plastic or has a large amount of plastic, and even those that are made with leather have the same problem: the phone is insulated, keeping heat in and cold out. But for safety reasons, as the phone gets warm (particularly during high performance tasks), it needs to radiate the heat away, and the presence of a pouch made from an insulated material prevents this,the solution here will be to remove the pouch until it cools off.

4. Will the heat damage your phone.
If you’re just playing games, or you notice a slight change in temperature while charging, it’s unlikely that your device will suffer any damage. Rather than exploding, your device will switch itself off if it gets too hot.
Heat can damage the overall battery life of your device, and once this happens, there’s no way to get it back to the way it was.

Conclusion.
Keeping your device cool will help to prolong battery life, so it’s always recommended not to ignore a noticeable rise in heat. You should now have a better understanding of just why your phone gets hot, and what you can do to prevent any further damage.

Nice one OP
But is it normal for phone's to be warm a bit while using with 3G or playing heavy games?

I can't imagine myself using a phone that is over heating (that can boil water)....
My Camon CX is ever cool while using it to browse on 4GLte....but I noticed some little warmness when plugged to a power outlet which I think is totally normal

It's normal with heavy games.

It's all about how you handle and take care of the phone tbh, overheating is almost impossible to avoid if you don't take care of it.

Also, if you're using it as a GPS, don't put it in direct sunlight when it's very hot outside! It's recommended to opt for a holder that can be mounted in the air vent.

Why is that?

I was always wondering why my phone was always hot. Never knew I was causing it myself. Thanks op.

My Cx air don't overheat, so this is not useful for me

I find this very useful, thanks for sharing

Nice one op. think phone makers should look into this issue. remember how Apple computers came through!

Nice
