HOW TO FIX REDMI NOTE 5 PRO HEATING ISSUES

Right here, you will see common actions you must take to fix Redmi Note 5 problems. Read below…

1. GET AN ORIGINAL BATTERY:

Now, it’s not enough to go to any marketplace of your choice and get a new battery for your smartphone.

Instead, this is what to do.

Go to the nearest Redmi Office or a well-known, registered phone reselling company and ask for your phone kind of battery.

They will give you good quality, original battery or may ask you to come back later if your request is not available at the moment.

#Get a new and original battery.

2. DELETE SOME THIRD-PARTY APPS:

Third-party apps are those applications you have downloaded from other sources and install on your phone. In short, these are apps that were not inbuilt or manufactured with your device.

Deleting them will very much reduce phone heat.

Some apps I suggest you delete are as follows:

1. Games with Apk+Obb: They consume RAM, battery life, and increase phone temperature.
2. Background Running Apps: These are apps running secretly in the phone background without the owner’s permission.

The best thing to do here is; delete them.

How To Locate And Delete This Apps

Go to Settings -> Apps -> Click on apps manually and check if it’s running without your permission. Delete

or Disable the app.

Even some useless in-built apps can do this. They run in the background doing nothing valuable, only work best at consuming battery, reduce RAM and increase phone chances of getting hot.

3. KEEP PHONE OUT OF HOT SURFACES OR DIRECT SUNLIGHT:

Since the Redmi Note 5 pro easily gets hot quickly, you should, therefore, avoid getting your smartphone exposed to direct sunlight, hot surfaces and shouldn’t be packed in tight containers.

5. TURN DOWN PHONE BRIGHTNESS LEVEL

You should have known by now that torch lights get blurred out by time if left ON for a long time.

The same thing applies to your smartphone. High Brightness level kills the battery faster than the low brightness level.

A Quick Solution To This Problem

1. Reduce screen brightness in a dark area.
2. Set display time-out to 15seconds.

6. TURN ON AIRPLANE MODE WHEN NECESSARY

I have mentioned earlier that data connection can possibly reduce phone performance whether on the phone or your personal computer.

You should make sure you turn ON airplane mode whenever heat signs come up or anytime you have nothing to do with your data connection, or when you’re expecting no incoming calls.

7. REMOVE PHONE CASES, POUCH & CONDOMS

Of course, this can be an issue you don’t know about.

Phone cases cover the whole of a phone, cause more heat to your device, and may add to your Redmi note heating problem.

So if you have any case on your phone, remove them and see if your device temperature calms down.

8. FREE UP YOUR REDMI NOTE 5 PRO STORAGE SPACE

Do you know that low storage space can affect a phone negatively?
In case you don’t know. Here is the truth…

Low storage space reduces the phone’s ability to perform its tasks more effectively, reduces phone speed, and may even cause a normal device to heat. Not talking about Redmi note 5 this time.

In a case like this, insufficient memory will reduce phone performance and make your phone heat, making it inconvenient for you while operating.

Make sure you free up as much storage space on your phone to reduce the heat on the device.

Conclusion

Phone heating problems are usually not common issues to be overlooked. Overheating is normal, it may be as a result of hardware damage and other factors. The hotness may lead to many negative effects on your mobile including; weak battery, poor performance, etc.
