A cell phone heats up because of the activity inside the cell phone while it's charging. The chemical process inside the battery needs to be reversed in order to charge up the cell phone and electricity is moving through the phone as it charges. Most electronic devices, if not all, heat up while being charged.

∙ 9y agoUsually its because its taking more electricity than it should to charge your phone it usually happens if your charger is for a different phone brand for example if you used an LG charger for an HTC phone the "voltage" would be higher to accommodate the power it takes to charger that phone same reason your phone gets hot when using a different charger this can also cause damage by over heating and even frying the charger and charger port (had that happen to me plus a burnt ear) If you are experiencing this I recommend using a charger with your phones brand or lower "voltage"

What would cause a cell phone to heat up in your pocket?
If your display light is continuously ON your cell phone will heat up in pocket. Just set the display timer to 3 or 5 seconds. It will save your charging also.
What device that can produce heat?
cell phone
Is it normal for a cell phone to heat when recharging?
Yes. The heat is caused by the movement of electricity. So using it causes heat and so does recharging it. If it gets hotter than a normal cell phone should unplug it and contact the manufacturer.
Why should you not charge your phone overnight?
A cellphone should not be charged overnight (or for more than five or six hours straight at any time) because of the fire risk from the resulting heat development after running such a device for long periods of time.RESLINA: you can charge your phone overnight. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT!! Besides, its not even charging for that long! Your home phone is always plugged in, day and night. That's not causing any "heat development", and neither is your cell being charged.
What energy source is used to power cell phones?
Most of the stored energy is disappated as heat, about 10% is converted to electromagnetic radio waves that couple with the surrounding environment, about one billionth of the energy makes it to a receiver where the signal is converted into a digital signal that symbolizes information packets.
What will happen if too much heat is applied while heat fixing a slide?
When too much heat is applied during the heat fixing of a slide with a bacterial cell on it, the cell would explode. The membrane of the cell would rupture.
Can I become infertile if I wear my cell phone in pocket?
You can not become infertile from carrying a cell phone in your pocket. A Cell phone emits a small portion of radiation that gets buffered by the fabric clothing in your pocket. The only case you might become infertile is if you use a dodgy mobile phone and tuck it into your ball sack and leave it there forever while it is activily on. Only then would you become infertile not due to the radiation but from the heat emitted from it.
Does a cell phone use heat at any time?
Yes, and it does only because when the electricity is transported, it is causing t heat to join the act.
If a cell phone is not in direct sunlight covered by T-shirt can the heat ambient temperature inside a closed car damage the cell phone?
Definitely. No doubt unless your phone is that mountain climbing one that's water proof.
Is carrying your cell phone in your pocket bad for the phone?
Yes because it is restricted to signal which can make the phone 'work' harder which causes it to over heat and then it stops working.
Can you convert heat emmited by the cell phones into electrical energy?
Yes, if there is a heat difference - between the cell phone and the environment in this case - in theory, it can be converted into electricity. But it doesn't seem very practical to do that - too much investment for an insignificant amount of energy. Besides, that would make the cell phone very bulky.
What is the white paper on the bottom of a cell phone battery used for?
it is to check for heat, water, or cold damage.
