Technical Guruji: Heat glitch

With temperatures soaring, how do you know if your phone is heating up due to being overused or if it’s time to take it to the service centre

Heat wave, phone edition

My year-old phone heats up twice a day, and proceeds to shut down most of my apps or just slow down. What can I do?

Phone heating is normal. Any electronic device under stress will heat up. If it’s heating too much and affecting the functioning of the phone, try this: Reset your phone after backing it up. Set it up again and then only keep the apps you need; don’t overload it. Restart it once every two-three days. If the problem persists, take it to the service centre.
