oneplus device overheating preventing tips

Summer is almost here, and as temperatures rise, it’s important to take precautions to prevent your OnePlus device from overheating.

Nine tips to help you avoid overheating on OnePlus Device:

Avoid using your phone while it’s charging. This puts a high load on the battery and can result in significant heat generation.
Use auto brightness and avoid prolonged use of your phone under high brightness levels, especially in direct sunlight.
Keep an eye on background apps and turn off unused or uncommon function switches to avoid CPU overload.
Use a phone case with good heat dissipation or remove the case altogether.
Be cautious of running high power-consuming apps for a long time. Consider using dark mode and lowering the media volume to reduce heat generation.
After updating your software, wait for the phone’s temperature to return to normal levels before playing games or watching videos.
Continuous use of navigation apps can result in increased power consumption, causing the phone to overheat.
When using the hotspot, be mindful that the phone needs to transmit signals and undertake the work of receiving and forwarding data, leading to heat generation.
Avoid using your phone in areas of poor signal, which can cause your phone to consume additional power to detect the signal and switch between different networks, leading to elevated power consumption and heat generation.

By following above simple tips, you can help prevent your OnePlus device from overheating during the hot summer months.

There are several reasons why a OnePlus device may heat up:

Using the phone while charging: When the phone is being used while charging, it puts a high load on the battery, resulting in significant heat generation.
Prolonged use of the phone under high brightness levels: Using the phone under bright sunlight or at maximum brightness levels for an extended period of time can cause the device to heat up.
Too many Apps running in the background: Running too many Apps in the background can cause CPU overload, leading to overheating.
Phone case with poor heat dissipation: Using a phone case made of materials with poor heat dissipation can affect the phone’s thermal management and cause it to overheat.
Running high power-consuming Apps for a long time: Playing games, watching videos, or using the phone for extended periods can cause the CPU to run at high load for a long time, leading to overheating.
Overheat after updating the software: After a software system upgrade, the adaptation and optimization processes can generate high power consumption in a short period of time, leading to overheating.
Continuous use of navigation Apps: When using navigation, the screen is kept bright for a long time, and in combination with other device features like GPS, downloading, and loudspeaker output, can lead to increased power consumption and overheating.
Continuous use of hotspot: Activating the hotspot on the phone can cause it to heat up as it needs to transmit signals and undertake the work of receiving and forwarding data.
Using phones in areas of poor signal: Using the phone with poor network coverage can cause the device to consume additional power to detect the signal or switch between different networks, leading to overheating.

OnePlus has in the past announced a new update policy for its smartphones, OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro were among those happy users who were excited about OxygenOS 14 but sadly, it looks like these devices will soon be considered under the EOL (End of Life) category after a few months from now.

After the announcement of the OxygenOS 14 Close Beta tester for the OnePlus 8T, it has now been confirmed that the OnePlus 8 and 8 Pro will be left behind in the race for software updates. Below, you can check out a screenshot from the Oneplus community about the requirement for Close Beta testers for the OnePlus 8T.

Generally, the company releases the updates together for the entire OnePlus 8 Series including Oneplus 8T but this time Oneplus announced the closed beta program for Oneplus 8T excluding Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro. Oneplus 8T might get the OxygenOS 14 stable build next year depending on how the close beta testing and open beta testing programs go. But it’s confirmed that Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro users won’t get OxygenOS 14.

Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro were released in the month of April 2020. So as per the even new policy OnePlus 9 Series and Oneplus 8 Series will only get three years of major OS updates and four years of security updates. So the Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro which were released in April 2020 already received three major OS updates; now they will only receive security patches before they are considered under EOL (End of Life) category. But Oneplus 8T was released in the month of October 2023 so that just completed three years. But before October, we already had a few OxygenOS 14 builds for higher-end Oneplus smartphones, so technically, Oneplus 8T should get OxygenOS 14, not Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro. How many of you guys have Oneplus 8 and 8 Pro? Let us know below.
