Here's a structured approach to handling heating issues while gaming on mobile phones, along with the reasons, solutions, and suggestions to mitigate overheating.
Reasons for Heating While Gaming on Mobile Phones
Check which reason applies to your current situation, then consider the corresponding solutions:
1. The phone heats up after running games for a long time.
2. Multiple programs running in the background.
3. The phone heats up while playing games and charging at the same time.
4. The phone is used in a weak signal environment.
5. The current environment temperature is high, or the phone is under direct sunlight.
Solutions
1. Long Gaming Sessions: Take a break and allow the phone to cool down to a normal temperature before resuming gaming.
2. Background Applications: Clean up background programs and disable unused system settings, such as video apps, personal hotspots, GPS, etc.
3. Gaming While Charging: Avoid using your phone while it is charging, as this can exacerbate heating issues.
4. Weak Signal Environment: Move to a location with better signal reception or connect to Wi-Fi to reduce the phone’s workload.
5. High Ambient Temperature: Use your phone in suitable temperatures (preferably 16℃ to 35℃) and ensure it is in a well-ventilated area.
Additional Suggestions to Reduce Heating
Here are some tips to reduce heating when playing games.
1. Reduce game image quality:
Adjust game settings to lower graphics quality.
For example: In PUBG, go to Settings > Graphics, you can set the graphic quality to HD or Balanced.
2. Use Game Space Features:
Launch games from Game Space and select the Low Power or Balanced mode. This can optimize performance while reducing heat generation.
Access the Game Space and start the game. Ensure that GT mode or Pro Game mode is turned off, as these modes enhance performance but increase heat output.
3. Remove Phone Case:
Take off the phone case to enhance heat dissipation and allow for better airflow around the device.
By following these tailored strategies, you can significantly reduce the heating issues experienced while gaming on your mobile phone, enhancing both performance and longevity. If still the issue persists in the device, please visit the nearest authorized realme service center for support.
