How to reduce device heat and battery consumption in Samsung devices?

Last Update date : 2024-01-28

All Samsung products have a specific temperature range within which they perform at their peak performance, whether you're using a phone, tablet, smartwatch, or earphones. While they might get warm when charging, for example, this does not have an impact on how long they last or how well they work. However, these gadgets occasionally produce heat for a short period of time. Therefore, we advise taking care to keep your device out of these situations.

Battery

To conserve battery power, your device offers several options, including optimizing performance through the device care feature, turning off the screen with the side button when not in use, enabling power-saving mode, closing unnecessary apps, disabling Bluetooth when not needed, turning off auto-sync for select apps, reducing backlight time, and decreasing screen brightness.

1 Check Task Manager and close unnecessary programs running in the background.

2 Keeping Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS "ON" is often a main cause of battery drain and can lead to an increase in the temperature of your device due to searching for Access Points (Wi-Fi), Satellites (GPS), and other Bluetooth devices etc, Turn Off Wireless functions when not in use, You can use the quick panel menu to toggle Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS on/off, or go into the device settings.

3 Turn off Tethering and Portable Hotspot function when not in use. This will increase the temperature and drain your device's battery.
Hotspot
4 Use only Samsung-approved battery, charger, and cable specifically designed for your device. Incompatible battery, charger, and cable can cause serious injuries or damage to your device
  • To save energy, unplug the charger when not in use. The charger does not have a power switch, so you must unplug the charger from the electric socket when not in use to avoid wasting power. The charger should remain close to the electric socket and be easily accessible while charging. 

  • Using a power source other than the charger, such as a computer, may result in a slower charging speed because of a lower electric current.

  • The device can be used while it is charging, but it may take longer to fully charge the battery.
5 Some 3rd party applications which are downloaded from the Play Store may cause unwanted battery consumption and increase device temperature.

Note:

  • After downloading and installing third-party apps, remove the application from your device if you feel the device is hotter and battery life is poorer than before.
