1. Cooler Master - The app that makes your phone cool!
It doesn’t matter how new your phone is. These days, most Android phones have short battery lives and overheat when your CPU is running more than normal. This nifty little app keeps track of your CPU temp, gives you notifications if your apps are using too much power in the background, and has an awesome clean-up feature that let’s you keep your background clear of unnecessary apps. Oh, and it’s completely free!
You can download the “Cooler Master - Phone Cooler” app directly from the Play Store, or by clicking on this link.
2. Watch your background apps, and stop those notifications
While Cooler Master can take care of some aspects of your background apps, some apps are too important to close. Generally speaking, any app that is allowed to send you notifications is going to be running to some degree or the other in the background. So the easiest solution? Disable push notifications for any apps that you don’t really need. Got your Play Store on auto-update? Disable the notifications.
3. Charge while you sleep
This might seem like an invariable factor, but your phone’s battery is usually at its hottest when you’re charging it. The best way to fix this problem? Charge it while you sleep, and unplug it when you wake up - or just yank it off when your alarm goes off, like a boss! Simple as pie.
4. If it’s too hot to go out in a leather jacket, don’t make your phone wear one either!
Have you seen some of the new phone covers? That stuff would make a bald puppy warm in the Arctic! So, why not take the coat off while you’re playing your games, and put it back on when you’re taking that puppy for a walk? (To clarify, puppy is your phone in this metaphor…Jus’ sayin’) Obviously, don’t forget the second step though, because we are not responsible for any damage your device (or puppy) receives without its cover on.
And that’s all you need to do! Try any of these steps, and you’ll get results right away. Do all four, and you can decrease your CPU overheating, and increase your battery life by a hell of a lot!
