Google Pixel Overheating: Causes and Troubleshooting Steps

Is your Google Pixel overheating? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Overheating can be a frustrating issue, but it’s often caused by simple software or hardware problems. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the common causes of overheating and provide troubleshooting steps to help you fix the issue.

Before we dive into the causes, let’s start with some first steps to ensure it’s not a random software fluke. Restart your phone and update it to the latest Android version, as some bugs are addressed in recent updates.

Causes of Overheating

Now, let’s explore the common causes of overheating:

Phone Case Suffocation

Some phone cases can “suffocate” your phone by preventing heat from escaping through intended surfaces and vents, resulting in overheating. Try removing your phone case and see if the issue persists.

Multitasking Apps

Switching between several apps increases your phone’s temperature as it has to work harder. Try closing out unused apps, especially games or video apps.

Faulty Third-Party App

Recently installed third-party apps may cause overheating. Boot into Safe Mode to check if your phone is still overheating and uninstall the app at fault while you’re there.

Camera App & Video Recording

When recording high-definition video for a long period, your phone will warm up. The Google camera app has a lot of features, most of which contribute to increased power draw and temperature.

Exposure to Extreme Temperatures

Has your phone been exposed to extreme heat? Direct sun will significantly heat your phone, especially when compounded with heavy use.

Faulty Battery

A well-worn battery can cause your phone to heat up while providing insufficient power. If you suspect a faulty battery, contact Salvation Repair for assistance.

Short Circuit

It’s possible that a tiny capacitor or thermal sensor on the board is busted and is causing a short circuit. If your phone is overheating while just being turned on, or if it’s reporting extreme temperatures but isn’t warm to the touch, this is likely your issue.

If you’re not comfortable with DIY repairs, we recommend taking your phone to an independent repair shop, as they may be able to pinpoint the location of the short circuit and perform a board-level repair. Alternatively, you can schedule a repair with Salvation Repair, and our experts will take care of it for you.
