Why Smartphones Heat?? Reasons Behind It

(1) Overload
Overloading is a big reason for the smartphone heating issue. If you are doing multiple tasks such as; playing a heavy online game with downloading a heavy file on background, then the processor of the smartphone can not handle it and the phone starts to heat. Also if you are downloading a lot of heavy files in a same time then also the smartphone starts to heat.

For more info go to https://www.tech2influence.com

(2) Processor
It is the main part of the smartphone. All the functions of smartphone control by the processor. So generally this processors are made from semiconductors. And this semiconductors are consists of many electrons. When our phone starts to work then the electrons in the processor starts to move & when they interact with each other then heat generated. So then the heat starts to release from the phone & we feel this heat.

(3) Battery
It is also a main reason for the smartphone heating issue. Generally at the time of charging every phones starts to heat. But some smartphones temperature increases more during the charging. It only happens by the battery. Because now the smartphones battery is very slim & small. When the heat generate during the charging process, it starts to release from the battery but due to small size & slim there is a short place to release the heat. So that the temperature of the phone increases more.

(4) Room Temperature
It also affect the smartphones. Suppose in your location the temperature generally 35 degree to 40 degree. So it does not affect the smartphones. But if the temperature in your location reaches 45 degree to 50 degree & it continue then it affect your smartphones. So that the smartphones temperature increases.

(5) Poor Signal
This is the most important reason for the smartphones heating issue. Many times in our locations, the signal does not reach properly or some times for heavy traffic the network speed goes down. So that when we use our phones for net browsing, then its start to buffering & take a long time to show the result & automatically for this reason the smartphones starts to heat.

Solution
Many times the smartphones companies & manufacturers send the software updates regarding many types of heating issues. So that always check for those software updates and update your phone in the latest version to prevent this types of heating issues.

These viruses can transfer if you connect a CD, DVD, Pendrive to a corrupted system.

Worms
These are also a type of malware that enter into your system in different ways. When the Worms enters into the system they creates multiple copies of a same file or folder. So when they create multiple files in your system then your computer loses its space and will became slower.

It is a type of malware which enters into your system through different apps. When you download a free antivirus app or memory cleaner app then through this apps there is a chance of Trojan attack. Generally when it enters into a system, you can not feel its activities. Behind the scene it corrupts your whole system. But when you get inform about it, at that time it is too late.

5 Common Mistakes That You're Making With Your Smartphone!!!

(1) Overcharging & Low Charge
This is a very common mistake.Many smartphone users charge their devices before they sleep then pull the plug when they wake up many hours after. For this long time charging there could be pose a problem because Li-ion batteries usually reach 100 percent charge between two and three hours.The temperature rises when the battery is overcharged &, not only would this shorten the battery life due to stress, it may also threaten a user's safety, just like those batteries that quickly heat up and explode.

Many users spend a lot of time in the social media sites, watch movies for a long time but they forgot about their phones charge.When it hits 8 to 10 percent charge then they realize about that.
Li-ion batteries are designed to perform its best between 30 to 80 percent capacity so, once the battery hits lower than 30, feel free to charge your smartphone.Likewise, once the charge hits 80 percent, you really don't need to wait for your phone to reach 100 percent anymore.

(2) Tapping On Links
Smartphone users are more susceptible to phishing attacks than desktop users. They tend to be less vigilant about security. It is harder to spot a fake login page on a smartphone than on a computer. Further, shortened URLs make it harder to detect illegitimate addresses.The best defense is to avoid clicking on links sent via SMS or instant messaging apps. Also, always open email links using your computer.

(3) Joining Public Wi-Fi Networks
At many places like railway stations, airports there are the public Wi-Fi networks. It may be cheap but they are also a major security risk.Information sent over public Wi-Fi networks is visible to anyone on the network if they know how to view it.Hackers can easily steal your information & remotely access your device. If you must use a public Wi-Fi network, connect to the internet using a VPN (Virtual Private Network). It is a method to connect websites securely even on public networks. In other way, use your mobile data at that place.

(4) Forgetting To Install Updates
Time to time the Smartphone manufacturers & app developers issue software updates to improve the security patches & functionality of the smartphone. But many users avoid this, they use a old version for long time. But you should accept those updates to your phones operating system as soon as you are notified. The same goes with apps running on your phone. So regularly update the software running on your device give the phone a better performance.

(5) Forgetting To Log Out

If you are always logged into Amazon, Paypal & other sensitive sites where your finances are within easy reach, then you are doing a big mistake. Because on the shopping sites, recharge apps you also submit your credit cards, debit cards, bank details etc. It is very sensitive. So don't keep your phone permanently logged into such websites. Don't check the box in the app that asks to save your username & password. It is convenient not to have to log into the app every time but it exposes you to considerable financial risk. If your phone were to be stolen, a thief would have unrestricted access to your finances & you could end up with a massive bill for things you never bought.
