每个人都知道拿起电话只是因为它几乎烧掉你的指尖的感觉。过热的手机不仅仅是一件麻烦事：它实际上会降低性能和电池容量。
找出手机过热的原因并不总是那么容易。手机过热的原因有很多，确定确切原因将有助于防止损坏您的设备并提高其性能。
让手机过热的事情(Things That Overheat Your Phone)
手机过热的原因有很多——有些常见，有些则不然。如果您发现您的手机一直摸起来很热，请寻找源头。
1.你的手机使用了太多的处理能力(1. Your Phone Is Using Too Much Processing Power)
强大的处理器(powerful processor)意味着您的手机能够同时执行更多操作（您的手机实际上比第一艘宇宙飞船拥有更多的处理能力。）另一方面，您的处理器还可以提高手机的温度。
如果您在手机上花费大量时间玩游戏或使用密集型应用程序，它可能会变得太热。将《部落冲突》(Clash of Clans)游戏放在一边，如果握起来不舒服，请让手机冷却下来。
2.后台应用太多(2. Too Many Apps in the Background)
每个人都对打开一个应用程序，使用它几分钟，然后刷出它感到内疚。关闭应用程序并不总是很方便，但是在后台运行太多可能会导致手机过热并更快地耗尽电池电量。
完成后花点时间关闭应用程序。养成在长时间不使用应用程序时关闭应用程序的习惯将有助于防止过热。
3.你的屏幕亮度太高(3. Your Screen Brightness Is Too High)
在阳光直射下可能很难看到您的手机，但将亮度调高可能会导致手机过热。如果可能，请将手机设置为根据环境光自动调整亮度。
自动调整意味着您应该（理论上）始终能够在不使用过多电量的情况下看到您的手机屏幕。如果您的手机需要手动调节，请记住在阳光下使用后将亮度调低。
4. 你可能有一个流氓应用程序或恶意软件(4. You May Have a Rogue App or Malware)
这个问题最常出现在Android(Androids)上，因为Apple不允许在App Store上出现未经批准的应用程序。如果您下载的应用程序包含恶意软件(download an app that contains malware)或在手机上执行未经授权的任务，它可能会使用比预期更多的CPU功率并导致手机过热。
花时间阅读任何应用程序的评论并为您的手机下载可靠的防病毒软件。当您遇到奇怪的性能问题时，请执行病毒扫描以确保您没有发现您没有考虑到的东西。
虽然 iPhone 用户不太容易受到这种威胁的影响，但它仍然可能发生。iPhone 能够捕获病毒和恶意软件。尽管(Though)很少见，但请不要将恶意软件视为您的手机如此热的潜在原因。
5. 您正在流式传输内容(5. You Are Streaming Content)或玩游戏
长时间的游戏会导致您的手机过热，但狂看您最喜欢的 Netflix 节目(binge-watching your favorite Netflix show)也会如此。如果您在看完第五集之后发现手机太热而无法触摸？(Are You The One? )连续关闭应用程序，让手机冷却下来。
处理能力和长时间保持在屏幕上的组合将立即推动温度升高。手机游戏也是如此。
一些最新的游戏在您的智能手机显示屏上绝对漂亮，但这需要大量的GPU和CPU资源。就个人而言，游戏是我的手机变热的第一大原因。
6.你有太多的小部件(6. You Have Too Many Widgets)
小部件很棒。您可以自定义手机(customize your phone)以反映您的个性并一目了然地显示您喜欢的内容，但过多的小部件会影响手机的性能并导致手机过热。
动画壁纸和小部件对此尤其感到内疚。如果可能，请禁用任何不必要的设置以减少手机过热的频率。至少，考虑摆脱其中的一些小部件，只保留您的收藏夹。
7.你的充电器有问题(7. You Have a Faulty Charger)
当您的手机过热时，请注意热量来自何处。如果热量来自手机中心附近，则故障可能出在您的处理器上。如果底部变热，则问题可能出在充电器上。
如果您的手机在充电时过热，有两个主要原因。要么是你使用的充电器有问题，要么是手机充电口损坏。有故障的充电器很常见，特别是如果您购买了折扣的非品牌设备（例如您可能在加油站找到的东西）。
对于手机充电器，支付官方许可充电器(officially licensed charger )的额外费用将确保您的手机安全并降低火灾风险。如果您使用的是官方充电器并且仍然过热，那么您的电池可能已接近其使用寿命，需要更换。
8. GPS 处于活动状态(8. GPS Is Active)
如果您将自己算作定向挑战人群中的一员，您可能会依赖手机的 GPS(rely on your phone’s GPS)。许多应用程序也要求始终使用GPS 。但是，由于GPS需要大量的处理能力，它可能会导致您的手机过热。
如果您发现手机经常过热，请禁用GPS。如果这不可能，除非绝对必要，否则拒绝应用程序使用GPS的权限。(GPS)您还可以打开低电量或省电模式以阻止GPS在后台更新。
每部手机都会不时变热，但您可以通过几个简单的步骤来减少这种情况发生的频率。如果您的手机经常过热，可能是时候换一部新手机了——或者至少，您可能需要更换电池。
Why Is My Phone Hot? 8 Things That Overheat Your Phone
Everyone knows thе sensation of picking up a phone onlу fоr it to nearly burn off your fingertips. An overheated phone is more than a nuisancе: it can actually reduсe performancе and battery capacity.
It isn’t always easy to figure out why your phone is overheating. There are a lot of different reasons your phone might get too hot, and identifying the exact cause will help prevent damage to your device and improve its performance.
Things That Overheat Your Phone
Your phone can overheat for a lot of reasons–some common, some not so much. If you find your phone constantly hot to the touch, look for the source.
1. Your Phone Is Using Too Much Processing Power
A powerful processor means your phone is capable of doing more at once (and your phone actually has more processing power than the first spacecraft did.) On the other hand, your processor can also drive up the temperature of your phone.
If you spend an extended amount of time gaming or using intensive applications on your phone, it can get too hot. Set that Clash of Clans game aside and let your phone cool off if it becomes uncomfortable to hold.
2. Too Many Apps in the Background
Everyone is guilty of opening an app, using it for a few minutes, and then swiping out of it. It isn’t always convenient to close an app, but leaving too many running in the background can cause your phone to overheat and drain your battery that much faster.
Take the time to close out apps when you are done with them. Creating a habit of shutting down applications when they won’t be used for an extended amount of time will help prevent overheating.
3. Your Screen Brightness Is Too High
It can be difficult to see your phone in direct sunlight, but turning your brightness all the way up can cause your phone to get too hot. If possible, set your phone to automatically adjust its brightness based on ambient light.
Automatic adjustment means you should (in theory) always be able to see your phone screen without using excess power. If your phone requires manual adjustment, remember to turn your brightness back down after using it in the sunlight.
4. You May Have a Rogue App or Malware
This problem arises most often with Androids, as Apple does not allow unapproved apps on the App Store. If you download an app that contains malware or performs unauthorized tasks on your phone, it may use more CPU power than expected and cause the phone to overheat.
Take the time to read reviews of any apps and download a reliable antivirus software for your phone. When you encounter strange performance issues, perform a virus scan to make sure you haven’t picked up something you didn’t account for.
While iPhone users are less susceptible to this threat, it can still happen. iPhones are capable of catching viruses and malware. Though rare, don’t discount malware as a potential reason your phone is so hot.
5. You Are Streaming Content or Playing Games
An extended gaming session can cause your phone to overheat, but so can binge-watching your favorite Netflix show. If you find that your phone is too hot to touch after your fifth episode of Are You The One? in a row, turn off the app and let your phone cool down.
The combination of processing power and the screen remaining on for long periods will drive the temperature up in no time at all. The same goes for mobile gaming.
Some of the newest games are absolutely beautiful on your smartphone display, but this requires large amounts of GPU and CPU resources. Personally, gaming is the number one reason why my phone will get hot.
6. You Have Too Many Widgets
Widgets are great. You can customize your phone to reflect your personality and display your favorite content at a glance, but too many widgets can impact the performance of your phone and cause it to overheat.
Animated wallpapers and widgets are particularly guilty of this. If possible, disable any unnecessary settings to reduce how often your phone overheats. At the very least, consider getting rid of a few of those widgets and keep only your favorites.
7. You Have a Faulty Charger
When your phone overheats, pay attention to where the heat comes from. If the heat comes from around the center of the phone, the fault likely lies in your processor. If it gets hot at the bottom, then the problem may be in your charger.
If your phone overheats when you are charging it, there are two main culprits. Either the charger you are using is faulty, or your phone’s charging port has been damaged. Faulty chargers are common, especially if you purchase a discount, off-brand device (like something you might find at a gas station.)
When it comes to phone chargers, shelling out the extra cost for an officially licensed charger will keep your phone safe and reduce the risk of fire. If you are using an official charger and it still overheats, then your battery may be near the end of its life and need replacing.
8. GPS Is Active
If you count yourself among the directionally-challenged crowd, you likely rely on your phone’s GPS. Many apps request the use of GPS at all times, too. However, GPS can cause your phone to overheat due to the amount of processing power it requires.
If you find your phone overheating too often, disable your GPS. If this isn’t possible, deny apps permission to utilize GPS except when absolutely necessary. You can also turn on low power or battery save mode to stop your GPS from updating in the background.
Every phone will get hot from time to time, but you can reduce how often this happens by following a few simple steps. If your phone constantly overheats, it might be time for a new one—or at the very least, you might need to replace the battery.
