If you’ve ever noticed your Android phone getting too hot after a few minutes of use, you’re not alone. I had the same issue for a while—especially when using multiple apps or watching videos. It became so frustrating that I thought the phone might be damaged.
Luckily, I found a fix that actually worked, and it’s already built into your phone. No apps, no downloads—just a quick setting change that made a big difference.
Here’s exactly what I did, step by step:
1. I opened the Settings app on my phone.
2. In the search bar, I typed "Build Number."
3. I tapped on Build Number seven times in a row. This unlocked something called Developer Options.
4. After that, I returned to the main Settings menu and searched for Developer Options.
5. Inside Developer Options, I scrolled until I found an option labeled Background Process Limit.
6. I tapped it and chose the option that says No background processes.
Once I changed this setting, I noticed an immediate difference. My phone stopped overheating, even after long hours of use.
This works because limiting background apps reduces the pressure on your phone’s processor. Fewer running tasks means less heat generated.
I’ve tested this for over a week now, and it’s been smooth sailing. If your phone heats up often, try this fix. It’s easy, safe, and you’ll feel the results almost instantly.
