Google Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro are powerful Android flagship devices, but some users have reported heating issues. Here are some possible fixes to resolve the overheating problem with the Pixel 7:
- Restart your phone: In most cases, restarting your phone can fix the overheating issue[1].
- Turn off Adaptive Charging: Some users have reported that turning off Adaptive Charging can help reduce heating issues[2].
- Check for background apps: Excessive background app usage can cause heating issues. Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Usage to identify and close any unnecessary apps running in the background[5].
- Use the official Google Adapter: Using the official Google charger (30W charging adapter and USB cord) can help ensure compatibility and reduce heating issues[2].
- Update your phone: Make sure your phone is updated to the latest software version. Some updates have been released to address overheating issues[6].
- Safe Mode: Activating Safe Mode can help identify if a third-party app is causing the heating issue. If the issue is resolved in Safe Mode, you can then uninstall the problematic app[5].
- Contact Pixel Support: If none of the above solutions work, contact Pixel support for further assistance[1].
Remember that it’s normal for your phone to get warm during certain activities like playing videos, games, making video calls, recording high-definition videos, connecting to a Wi-Fi hotspot, tethering, or downloading/uploading large amounts of data[1]. However, if your phone continues to overheat and shut down, it’s essential to address the issue to protect both you and your device.
