Redmi Note 3 Heating up? Here’s how you can fix it

Of all the smartphones that we have used in the recent past, it is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 that we felt to be heating the least even after using it for a considerable amount of time. It sure might look like a surprise because most of the Xiaomi smartphones recently warmed or heated while gaming or using the camera extensively, but that wasn’t the case with Redmi Note 3.

If you are still noticing your device heating or warming up occasionally? Try out the following ways to fix it, and if none of these work, you should probably pay a visit to the service centre for them to check what might be the issue internally.

Fix heating issue on Redmi Note 3

Xiaomi Redmi Note 3

Check for the background apps and kill them

Sometimes, some of the apps that run in the background take unnecessarily and an excessively high amount of resources and you won’t even notice that. Tap on the corner left button to see which are the apps active in the background. Swipe each of them up to close them, or tap on the X button to shut all of them down together.

Although this cannot be the reason most of the times because background processes are active mostly on all Android smartphones, but devices these days tend to act weird at times.

Check if connectivity settings are the culprit

Another blind spot that can be hit – GPS, and Data network connectivity are the two options that sometimes too quickly heat up the device. When you are actually using Google Maps, that is fine, because your screen is turned ON and the app uses GPS too, but when you are still noticing the heat when not using it, try to check if you see a difference if you turn it off.

Are you using a common power adapter?

Even a little bit of difference in the wattage ratings can cause a problem and give unnecessary heating to the battery of the phone. It is usually common that we use only a single charger for charging all our devices and that doesn’t always have the right wattage and power output that your smartphone might need.

So, if you are using some other charger, try to use the original one and hope that brings your battery and device heating back to normal.

Disable bloatware apps

Bloatware apps are the pre-installed apps that come in every phone. Although the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 has a very few of them, they might be a culprit when you have a lot of other essential apps. To ensure that the bloatware doesn’t use any resources in the background, disable them by going to the Application settings, and disabling is an option because you cannot delete these apps.

Don’t play games or watch video while charging

You are expecting too much out of this phone, or any other, if you think of playing games or watch videos while the Redmi Note 3 is charging. Any smartphone, in this case, gets heated up when it is charging and you give any GPU intensive task to it. Use the phone after some time once the charging is completed.

Use a third party app to control the heat

Not many good ones are available for this particular purpose, but one named Cooler Master – Phone Cooler has been a good one with options that are known to kill tasks that might be causing the phone to heat. Install the app on your Redmi Note 3 and monitor what might be causing it to heat and then you can let the app control the tasks and bring things back to normal.

So, these might look basic but these tips could be quite useful in keeping the temperature of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 in control.

  18. i bought the redmi note 3 impressed and after using got fedup
    merits : excellent mobile with wide range of features like finger print sensor, IR blaster, huge battery
    probs :1. flash light white can be changed instead of yellow flash coz this creates eye pain & also this the flashing & snapping sequence mismatches this has to be corrected in all modes for better quality of snapping unable to use the torch headache and eyepain makes us fedup why the other brands of smart phones gives the white flash why the mi manufacturers doesnt look in to this
    2. why most of the smart phones are heating and irritating
    the user why doesn’t the manufacturers look in this part instead they are busy in competition with other brands, the charge drains also when the mobile is idle with out sim wifi & apps are closed is this fair. The level of battery given is 4000 mah if it is around 2500 or 3000mah what will happen ??? critically confused
    INSTEAD OF BLAMING USER WHY CANT THEY GET THE QUALITY OF MANUFACTURING & TESTING I CANT UNDERSTAND.
    THEY HAVE THE EASIER OPTIONS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS FROM THE CONSUMER FEED BACK TO IMPROVE THE BETTER PERFORMANCE .
