If excessive heating of the battery of a Xiaomi smartphone is detected during charging or during operation of the mobile device, it is necessary to find and eliminate the cause of this phenomenon as quickly as possible. Otherwise, there is a risk of the product overheating and failure, and even the possibility of fire cannot be ruled out.
You should also quickly find the reasons why the battery may discharge too quickly, because this indicates some kind of malfunction.
Before getting your Xiaomi phone professionally repaired in #WF_CITY_PRED#, you can try to fix the problem yourself, as it can often be resolved by updating the firmware, calibrating the battery, or performing certain settings.
In this article we will tell you about the most common cases that cause the battery on your phone to overheat, and we will also tell you how these problems can be eliminated.
Causes
Of course, Xiaomi redmi 9 heats up for various reasons - in some cases, only slight warming of the case may be observed. Whereas in other cases it becomes excessively hot. Smartphone heating repair service, follow the link we have, we have an on-site repair service.
The following factors lead to this:
- The gadget was lying close to the heat source. After all, the aluminum body conducts heat intensively.
- The user opens too many background tasks.
- Games that require a lot of memory are loaded.
- When the battery is charging. At this moment, a large amount of energy is released.
- Long-term use, especially when actively watching videos or playing games.
General methods
To determine ways to solve problems, you need to determine the source of their occurrence. So, heating can be caused by the active use of networks, the use of heavy 3D applications, a long conversation on a mobile phone, watching long high-resolution videos, data exchange using various network technologies, long-term operation of the screen at full brightness, connecting a charger with a high power rating and so on.
Such problems can be solved very simply: turn off for a few minutes everything that causes extreme temperatures in the case or front panel of the smartphone. Of course, if we talk about charging, you should simply put it on a flat surface that will not retain heat near the device, and it is best to choose something solid. A sofa or bed is a poor choice for this process as it will cause the temperature to rise, possibly causing the latter to fail.
Do not forget about using only original components for charging the gadget: Chinese analogues for 50 rubles from the transition can pose a hidden threat, in the form of mixed up contacts or poor-quality wire insulation, and the consequences of a short circuit during charging can be fatal to the phone. Of course, you need to remember about cheap cases: if you use non-thermally conductive cases, such as those made from leather, thick silicone, fur, then it is better to get rid of them, at least while charging or stress-using the device, which is why using branded accessories is so important .
Another reason, by the way, may be the use of a large number of background applications. The “curing” of such a problem couldn’t be easier: simply closing processes through the multitasking menu. Of course, only in 50-60 percent of cases a simple swipe can completely “remove” a certain process from the background. This situation requires only one action: stopping the task through the application menu, opened from the settings. You can also “cut out” this application using root rights, but this is a topic for another article.
MIUI firmware hardware failures.
Play Market services causes intensive CPU load.
Ways to resolve a negative situation
Some general recommendations include:
When actively used, you need to give your smartphone only 5-10 minutes to rest.
When replenishing the battery , you should use only the original unit to connect to the electrical network.
If this condition occurs in Xiaomi even during normal surfing on the Internet, it is recommended to clear unnecessary things from the background. To do this, swipe from below to close everything unnecessary.
All of the above recommendations are suitable if the phone itself is working properly.
Ways to solve the problem
To begin with, we should give general recommendations. They will help when the phone is working properly, but heating still occurs.
If your smartphone gets hot while playing games, then you need to give it time to cool down. This will take no more than 5-10 minutes. If, when charging, the phone begins to heat up very much, then it is worth purchasing a similar charging unit from the original manufacturer.
The case when Xiaomi heats up even when surfing the Internet indicates that it is necessary to remove applications from the background. To do this, with the main screen open, you need to press the leftmost button located on the body of the Xiaomi Redmi 4X. The background tasks menu will open. In it, swiping from below closes all unnecessary applications.
Manage Applications feature in Battery Settings
This option was created to control the state of the battery and is responsible for optimizing it while working with different programs. But the whole paradox is that the battery itself can get very hot from this function. To solve you need:
- open the “Settings” menu;
- go to “Battery and Performance”;
- Click on the “Select applications” column;
- in the upper right corner of the screen, touch the three vertical dots;
- select "Disable Activity Control".
After these manipulations, the load on the processor will decrease, and the heating will also go away.
Play Market services.
They not only load the processor with constant work, but also put a strain on the network, as they send notifications about updates in real time. To disable them, you need to click on the three horizontal bars in the main menu of the program and then:
- click on the three horizontal stripes in the main menu of the program;
- enter “Settings” of the Play Market program;
- select “Never” in the “Auto-update applications” column;
- go to “Notifications”;
- uncheck all the boxes.
After this, resources for the work of the Play Market will be allocated in a minimal amount.
System version failure
This point is the very last thing to check. Although the update procedure itself can rarely cause harm. To change the MIUI version, you should:
- go to “Settings” and then “About phone”;
- open “System Update”;
- turn on Wi-Fi and click on the “Check for updates” line at the bottom of the screen;
- download updates;
- Click on the “Update” button.
After pressing this button, the smartphone will go into a long reboot (about 10 minutes). The smartphone will then turn on and be ready to use.
The article tells you what to do if your Xiaomi 4x gets hot when you use it. In this case, it can heat up to a high temperature. However, there is no need to be afraid in advance. You need to try all options, and preferably at the same time. If there is no effect, then the battery has become unusable and should be replaced as soon as possible at a service center.
Working with the battery
If the advice did not help, then you will have to monitor the condition of the battery . To do this you need to follow these steps:
- Open the " Settings " menu.
- Select " Battery and Performance ".
- Click the “ Select applications ” section.
- In this case, in the upper right corner of the context menu there will be an ellipsis in vertical orientation. Tap on it.
- In the drop-down list, select “ Disable Activity Control ”.
This should lead to a decrease in processor activity, which will reduce heating.
What should the phone temperature be?
To determine the current heating level of a mobile phone, it is not necessary to use a thermometer. There are special applications for these tasks that can be downloaded for free on Google Play. The most popular programs for determining the temperature of a smartphone and its individual components are AIDA64, CPU-Z and Cooler Master. They are helped in this by sensors that are located inside the gadget, analyze its condition and display ready-made information.
The ambient temperature that can support normal operation of a smartphone is usually in the range from 0 to +35°C. At the same time, you can store the switched off gadget in conditions from -10 to +45°C without the risk of disrupting its functions. The degree of processor heating at which the protection is triggered and it turns off usually depends on the smartphone manufacturer. On average, this indicator is at +80-90°C.
Play Market
If you actively use such a service, it will not only overload the hardware , but will also actively send notifications about updates being made. To exclude this, you will have to:
- In the main menu, click on the 3 horizontal bars in the upper left corner.
- Select the item with the gear.
- Tap " Auto update ". In this case, in the window that appears, you should go to “ Never ”.
- In the “ Notifications ” section, uncheck all 4 items.
If all this does not bring the desired result, a system failure should be ruled out. To do this, perform a system update, after which the phone goes into a long reboot.
conclusions
After all the operations performed, the heating of a working smartphone should decrease by 30-50 percent. If everything is the same - the device’s hardware is clearly “unhealthy”, it urgently needs to go to a service center, where it will be disassembled, tested, and then repaired if necessary.
Remember also about the features of some gadgets and their hardware: the 810 Snapdragon from Qualcomm, for example, will almost always heat up to 50-60 degrees, but no more, however, some manufacturers manage to make even the “real devil” of the industry “cold”.

Common causes of overheating
Smartphones do not necessarily overheat due to some serious technical problem. Often, the fault lies with the users themselves, as they operate devices with malfunctions or subject them to high loads for too long. Let us note these common reasons:
- a non-original power supply is used;
- using resource-intensive 3D games for a long time;
- watching high-resolution videos for a long time, especially online;
- installation of unfamiliar or poorly optimized programs from dubious sources;
- long telephone connection;
- long-term use of 3G or 4G communications;
- keeping the display at maximum brightness for a long time.
However, even if all these points are taken into account, excessive heating of the case may remain, then you will have to use the methods below to correct the situation.
