3 things you should avoid with your cell phone

3. Continue using your phone while it is charging and it gets hot

Talking, playing games, or watching videos while charging can produce additional heat. If your phone is already overheated and you continue to apply it, you increase the risk of permanent battery damage or, in the worst case, explosion.

Tip: If you spot your phone getting too hot while charging, let it rest. Avoid using it until it cools down.

Do not neglect the device’s war:ning signs

Often, the phone itself war:ns us that something is wrong: it heats up more than usual, it refreshs on its own, the battery swells, or it starts to radiate a strange smell. Neglecting these signs can be a big mistake, as they imply a possible internal fault that could cause a serious accident.

If you spot any strange behavior on your phone, turn it off promptly and meet a qualified technician. Don’t go on using it as if nothing is wrong.
