Re: Exil3d's Battery Life Guide

Actually, that does work. Holding your hand across the back. It absorbs some heat and helps it to keep charging.

In playing with this problem, I found another 'bootleg' fix. The speaker holes on the top of the device are a prime spot for cool air to get into the device and help cool off the hottest part. Problem is, the speaker is in the way, but only a bit. Blowing firmly but not excessively hard with your mouth relatively close to the phone seems to help a great deal.

My device suffers from the getting to hot to charge problem and while it was in this state, I tried the solution. Three times I blew cool air through the device and it almost immediately began charging again and finished up at 100% without further need for me to mess with it.

Not that I want to have to manually cool my phone off every time I need to use it while I charge it, but this is better than nothing for me.
