How to Fix Galaxy A56 That Overheats During Charging

It is normal for phones to get a little warm while charging. But if your Galaxy A56 becomes too hot to touch, drains faster, or even stops charging, then it needs attention. Overheating not only shortens battery life but can also affect the overall performance of your phone.

Why Your Galaxy A56 Might Overheat During Charging

• Using faulty or low-quality charging cables and adapters.
• Charging the phone while using heavy apps or games.
• Poor ventilation, such as charging on a bed or couch.
• Background apps or software glitches causing extra heat.
• A damaged battery or hardware-related issue.

Use the Original Charger and Cable.

Third-party chargers may not regulate power properly. This often causes the battery to heat up more than usual.

1. Plug in the original Samsung adapter, and then connect the USB-C cable.
2. Insert the cable into your Galaxy A56, and check if the phone charges at a normal temperature.

Avoid Charging While Using the Phone.

Heavy use during charging, such as gaming or video streaming, forces the processor to work harder. This creates extra heat.

1. Disconnect your phone from the charger if you need to play games or watch videos.
2. Once the device cools down, reconnect it to continue charging safely.

Keep the Phone in a Cool, Ventilated Place.

Soft surfaces trap heat and prevent air from circulating around the phone. This makes the battery heat up quickly.

1. Place your Galaxy A56 on a flat, hard surface like a desk when charging.
2. Avoid covering it with blankets, pillows, or cases that block airflow.

Close Background Apps.

Apps running silently in the background consume resources. They put extra load on the processor and battery, which adds more heat during charging.

1. Tap the Recent Apps key, and then swipe away all open apps.
2. Open Settings, and then tap Battery to check for apps using abnormal amounts of power.

Update Software.

Outdated firmware may cause charging and battery issues. Keeping your phone updated ensures better performance and power management.

1. Open Settings, and then scroll down and tap Software update.
2. Tap Download and install, and follow the on-screen instructions if an update is available.

Reset All Settings.

If overheating continues, incorrect system settings might be the cause. Resetting restores default configurations without deleting personal files.

1. Open Settings, and then tap General management.
2. Tap Reset, and then tap Reset all settings. Confirm and allow the phone to reboot.

If your Galaxy A56 still overheats after these steps, the issue could be with the battery itself. In that case, it is best to visit a Samsung service center for a proper inspection.
