Summer Tech-iquette | Cool tips for warm smartphones

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has sounded an alarm for a severe heatwave across Rajasthan, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, and Uttar Pradesh. A cautionary note has also been issued for Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat, where temperatures are expected to climb significantly.With the mercury rising nationwide, our smartphones are also feeling the heat. The intense heat can do more than cause discomfort; it can affect your smartphone’s functionality and even decrease the device’s longevity.
Smartphones use lithium batteries, which produce heat from internal resistance and other factors, including rapid power usage or overcharging. When these devices are exposed to high temperatures, such as being left in direct sunlight or inside a hot car, their internal temperatures can soar, leading to potential safety risks and reduced battery life. To safeguard your device and its battery, it’s crucial to avoid exposing them to direct sunlight and manage their temperature effectively.

Here’s a user-friendly guide with practical tips to prevent your smartphone from overheating during the hot summer days:
  1. Stay out of the sun: Keep your phone away from the sun to avoid it getting too hot.
  2. Take off the case when charging: Remove your phone’s case to help it stay cool while charging.
  3. Use the right charger: Always charge with the charger that came with your phone.
  4. Game inside: Play games or use apps indoors where it’s cooler.
  5. Reduce Screen Brightness: Lowering the brightness of your screen can help maintain a cooler device temperature and extend battery life.
  6. Enable Automatic Brightness Adjustment: Activate your phone’s auto-brightness feature to allow it to self-adjust based on ambient lighting conditions, enhancing both comfort and energy efficiency.
  7. Be smart with GPS: Use GPS apps in the shade or near air conditioning, not in direct sunlight.
  8. Let your phone rest: If it feels hot, give it a break to cool down.
  9. Ease up on usage: Don’t use apps that make your phone work too hard, like games or videos, for too long.
  10. Charge without playing: Don’t use your phone a lot while it’s charging. 
  11. Keep the battery happy: Charge your phone before the battery battery dips below 30%. 
  12. Do not Charge when its too hot: For the safety of your device, it’s best to avoid charging it when it’s already warm or exposed to direct sunlight. Keeping your device cool helps ensure it charges safely and efficiently.
  13. Avoid long gaming or video sessions: These can heat up your phone quickly.
  14. Use hands-free in the sun: If you’re outside, use bluetooth headset instead of holding your phone to your ear.
The golden rule is minimise the usage of smartphones for these days. Use it judiciously.

That wraps up our session for today! I trust these strategies will assist you in maintaining a cool temperature for your phone, even on the hottest days.
