Troubleshooting Google Pixel Overheating Issues

Is your Google Pixel overheating? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Overheating can be caused by a variety of factors, ranging from software issues to hardware problems. In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the steps to troubleshoot and potentially fix the issue.

Before we dive into the troubleshooting process, it’s essential to restart your phone to ensure it’s not a random software glitch. Additionally, make sure your phone is running the latest Android update, as some bugs may be addressed in recent updates.

Causes of Overheating

There are several reasons why your Google Pixel might be overheating. Let’s explore some of the most common causes:

Phone Case Suffocation

Some phone cases can “suffocate” your phone by preventing heat from escaping through intended surfaces and vents. This can cause your phone to overheat.

Try removing your phone case and see if the issue persists.

Multitasking Apps

Switching between multiple apps can increase your phone’s temperature. Try closing out unused apps, especially games or video apps.

This can help reduce the load on your phone’s processor and prevent overheating.

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.

This can help you identify and remove the problematic app.

Camera App & Video Recording

Recording high-definition video for an extended period can cause your phone to warm up. The Google camera app has a lot of features that contribute to increased power draw and temperature.

Try reducing the video quality or using a different camera app to see if the issue persists.

Exposure to Extreme Temperatures

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

Try to keep your phone in a cool, dry place to prevent overheating.

Faulty Battery

A well-worn battery can cause your phone to heat up while providing insufficient power. If you suspect a faulty battery, consider replacing it.
