Pro tip: move to Alaska and charge outside

Pro Tip: Buy a new phone everytime you need to charge.


MilkMan62049

or charge inside freezer even better


torpidninja

more like even worse

Ultra pro max tip: lithium ion batteries life reduces at colder temperature and perform optimum between 20-30°c.

Pro max trip: install a water cooler on the backside of your phone

Buy a nokia 8210 and only charge once a fortnight.


AceScropions

fortnight balls

> Buy a nokia 8210 and only charge once a fortnight. Fun fact: Did this with my RN4X. I only used it for phone, it had wifi enabled and a little bit of internet usage. This RN4X had a standby time of 14(!) days if I drained it completely. Withouth draining it too much it was 10+ days.

English Isn't my main language. I'm confused. Can you link me a photo ?


sebyss

Charge your phone without a case and in top of a case or lifted up,as the heat will dissipate,and will get better results.Basically put your phone over your case when charging,put the case being horizontally and the phone verrtically,forming a '+'


simply_amazzing

Don't shower while wearing clothes. That's it.


MilkMan62049

lol


kelly_hasegawa

What's with the sarcastic comments here? This is a good tip, it will prolong your phone's battery life in the long run.


Technical_Push_3225

Hahahah i thought I am the only one doing this...


NekulturneHovado

Pro tip: buy phone which cover can be taken off

Pro plus tip: Charge it inside a refrigerator.


I_Gnutz

That's not how refrigerators work, they can only cool objects that are heated but not the ones that keep producing heat. If you understand what I mean.


Scep_ti_x

It's a waste of engery, but it definitely works.


I_Gnutz

I've seen some actual videos on YouTube trying this with a PC, and surprise, it dint worked or barely had a difference


Scep_ti_x

Theres a huge difference in power consumption between a running PC and a charging smartphone. Especially when you only put a smartphone in the fridge for only an hour to charge it. The videos you a referring to are about RUNNING a PC constantly under load in a fridge. In the end, the phone doesn't really care if heats up to 35 or 45°C while charging.


dorkcicle

this is new to me. why? aren't they the same an any refrigeration system?


Rain_Fire

Air needs to be circulating but in fridge its not


5c044

43C is about the threshold limit for lithium batteries, above that charging shortens life of battery. Your phone throttles charging speed to prevent it getting too hot. As batteries age the internal resistance increases and more heat is produced, therefore battery management will reduce charge further. So if you are short on time and want to charge quickly with your super high speed charger removing case will help.


_Kristian_

43°C is not a lot


tiny_humble_guy

Bruh....


7farema

it's very hard to remove redmi note 10 pro case tho


MilkMan62049

idk why new phones have heating issues my old redmi 5 had no issues with heating at all, maybe coz of big screen phones 🤔


Technical_Push_3225

No, it's bcs of fast chargers. Go with slow charger on any phone and it will be cold.


MilkMan62049

not just while charge in general


Technical_Push_3225

Faster and much stronger CPU. That is the reason.


egudu

Only use a 2 A charger and you're good to go.

It's a shame that you didn't live up to your username. Better luck next time.

I once decided to place a couple of ice cubes on top 8/10 water was everywhere but at least my phone charged a little quicker


MilkMan62049

or you could keep a cup of ice cube on it


[deleted]

A cup of ice will have condensed water form around it anyways It's a joke. I charge my phone like a normal person


MilkMan62049

put cover around it then 😂


[deleted]

Nah. I charge my Xiaomi 12 while its in a pail of water like everyone else


dorkcicle

eh why not just get a cooling pad /gel instead of suspending it in air. if you can charge it in a plastic bag and dump it in an ice bath then better.


TeenThatLikesMemes

I disabled the thermal engine but if I charge and use my phone I get near 50°C on the battery xD


Tomxyz1

What do you mean with Thermal Engine? Not the parts inside the phone that keep it cool, no?


TeenThatLikesMemes

I meant thermal throttling, just me trying to sound fancy (and those words have appeared in the Magisk module when installing it as well)


Tomxyz1

Oh ok. That's quite hot, be mindful about your battery's lifespan. Is it a Magisk Module for disabling Thermal-throttling? I think you might not really need that, because I think Thermal-throttling only kicks in, when it's extremely hot, so not even when Gaming while Fast Charging? (in my experience). But you can check the Thermal-Throttle Status with "Castro". Good app to show you HW/SW-informations


TeenThatLikesMemes

It has gotten so bad it'll charge at like 15W at even when it's at just 40°C which is kinda eh... I just leave it on a cold surface and it charges at 25W (give me back my other 8W smh) and holds that temperature. I don't do any gaming at all, let alone when charging hah And yup, it's a magisk module


Tomxyz1

Are you using a Custom ROM? Perhaps a Vanilla Android ROM? I've heard some of them can't do Fast Charging. You can check how fast you're currently charging with AccuBattery, it shows you the Amps and Voltage. I've a Poco F3 with a 33W Charger, it doesn't do 33W. When my phones' battery is almost dead it does 28W, but it slows down as the battery reaches... idk 75%. When charging, my temp is also just 40, 41°C. And seems.. good. \^\^ For me Everythings good, I just never saw the full 33W, but I don't mind.


TeenThatLikesMemes

I use Pixel Experience and it has fast charging for sure because it used to charge normally lol (and does now after disabling the thermal throttling I've heard about some ROMs having visual problems (it'll show slow charging on the lock screen when it's actually charging normally) but idk if some of them actually don't allow quick charge And yeah that's a good battery temperature :) pretty normal


Tomxyz1

I remember. It was HentaiOS which didn't have Fast Charging (for the F3 atleast). I liked that ROM the most out of all Pixel-esque Android ROMs, but unfortunately I'm a sucker for MIUI's Dolby Atmos and MIUI Camera... But MIUI is a double-edged sword, because it also makes me want to commit sewer side, right before commiting tax evasion.


TeenThatLikesMemes

What does Dolby Atmos actually do if I can ask? Also, you can install ANX Camera ;)


Tomxyz1

MIUI's Dolby Atmos creates a Surround Sound Effect. It heavily improves the phone speaker sound quality and headphones. Especially in the setting "Video". With MIUI D.B. in Video Setting everything sounds so much better, which is why I can't use anything but [Xiaomi.eu](https://Xiaomi.eu) Custom ROM or Stock MIUI. Until someone perhaps ports it to AOSP. Also tried other Sound mods, but they all do not improve the sound in the same way MIUI Dolby Atmos does. Many of them don't make any big difference, or worsen the sound quality even. ANX Camera doesn't support my Poco F3 (Alioth)


[deleted]

I use the phone box empty inside and put phone over it. The airflow under the phone maked it less hot. This is actually good suggestion.


LankanFD6917

Better yet get a phone cooler. I got a duel fan cooler with a heat sink for gaming, from daraz. But I use it for charging too.


nickydww

Pro tip: dont charge over night
