How to fix Galaxy Note 9 overheating issues
Solution 1: Remove the case
If you have a shell for your Galaxy Note 9, it is advisable to remove it if you have noticed that your device is heating up. Not all cases are of quality. Some are made from poor materials and can heat the phone. After removing the case, avoid using the phone until it cools down completely.
Solution 2: Restart your phone
This is the next thing to do for you. A reboot can really work miracles. We always remember why – it's because it wipes out the applications and processes that continue to run in the background. It also updates the memory, which will automatically improve the performance of your device. This is why it is important to restart your phone from time to time, especially if you notice heat.
Solution 3: Disable GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and mobile data when you are not using it.
We depend on all the services that phones offer these days. But, the truth is that we don't need them all to be on all the time, right? So when services like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and mobile data are not in use, you should turn them off. These services will not only affect the lifespan of your phone's battery. They can also increase the heat.
Solution 4: update applications
Another important thing is to keep all of your apps up to date. Developers are constantly improving applications and each update brings new features, fixes, etc. After each update, the application works better. What you need to do is head to the Play Store and click on the hamburger icon. Then click on My apps and games and tap Update all. It's much easier than updating apps one at a time.
Solution 5: Update the software
Software updates also bring bug fixes, new features and more. So whenever there is a new version, you should have it. Here are the steps:
- Go to settings
- Tap Software Updates
- Tap Check for updates
If there is a new version, follow a few simple steps on the screen to download and install it.
Solution 6: Remove the apps you are not using.
We tend to keep hundreds of apps on our phones, the ones we don't actually use. All of them can have an impact on the phone, its battery, its performance, etc. You must therefore delete the applications that you no longer use. You may experience overheating and you will also notice better performance and longer battery life.
Solution 7: Use the correct charger
Some users have noticed overheating of their devices while charging. You should make sure that you are using the original charger that came with your device. Also, do not leave your device connected to the charger longer than necessary. As soon as your phone is charged, unplug the cable.
Solution 8: factory data reset
If nothing seems to be working, it's time to reset the factory data. This option is a little more complicated, since a factory data reset deletes everything the user stores on their phone. So the most important thing here is to back up all of your files. After that, do the following:
- Go to settings
- Now go to the general direction
- Tap on Reset> Factory data reset> Reset
- Then press Delete All
- Enter your PIN, model or password if necessary
- Tap Confirm.
Let your device complete the process. Once it's done, follow the steps on the screen to configure it from scratch.
