Phone getting hot during wireless charge

MadOne

Does anyone here use wireless charging on a regular basis? I tried charging my phone 2 wirelessly and noticed that it got hot soon after I placed it on the pad. Thereafter I stopped charging it wirelessly and stuck to wired charging. I wonder if it is normal for the phone to get hot during wireless charging.

MadOne It is normal that the device is getting hot during wireless charge but to a certain degree, if it’s getting too hot then its worth testing with another charger.

MadOne I am also facing same issue. The charging is stopped midway and if we touch the phone it is normal and heat up is observed. There seems to be some bug in the charging function of Nothing 2

I have 3 wireless chargers which is all I ever use and my phone never gets hot.

GordonLutz which brand you using? I have a basic Portronics charger which cost Rs. 100 here in India.

MadOne I believe that charger might be causing the problem. I bought the portonics one. It charges slow, gets extremely hot. Going on amazon for refund

Wireless charging is stopped at 62% with notification that charging will resume after phone temperature is normal. My phone was idle and only Google maps navigation was on. No heating was observed while touching the mobile. What could be the reason for stopping the wireless charging?

rajesh_redhu Both wireless charging and navigation apps tend to warm up the device quite a lot, it is understandable that the combination of the two can cause a pause in charging.

hexagonal707x which law of thermodynamics you talk about in this particular case?

MadOne the First Law of Thermodynamics states that total energy in a closed system is neither lost nor gained — it is only transformed. Long story short, heat is formed as energy loss during wireless charging.

Hi everyone. So my phone 2 has recently started to get so hot when charging wirelessly that it stops charging. It started about 2 months ago, worked perfectly fine before and it happens after only 5 minutes of charging. I have tried different chargers, it even happens in my brand new car which forces me to use the cable again. Anyone else experiencing this?

In the end this is one of the major downsides of wireless charging.

All things being equal, wireless charging isn’t inherently more harmful to your device or its battery than wired charging. That said, charging your device wirelessly generates more heat, which is bad for battery longevity. Samsung, Google, and other manufacturers sell wireless chargers with a built-in cooling fan to alleviate heating issues.
