Micromax YU Yureka, the re-branded version of the Coolpad F2 has seen a lot of demand in the recent weeks due to the high value for money it offers, when it comes to specs. This phone is currently being sold in Flash Sales, and nearly 10,000 units are being sold in a matter of seconds. But, one cannot expect everything to be rosy in a phone at that price tag. So this article will tell you how to fix over heating of Yu Yureka.
One of the most common problems on the Yureka is the heating problem. This device heats up to a temperature greater than 50°C in a matter of minutes even while performing simple tasks like texting or browsing the internet. This can be a pain, especially if you live in countries like India. Having a case on, only worsens the issue. Sudden battery drain has also been reported.
The main cause of this is the MEDIASERVER, which is running in an infinite loop and using up all the resources. Also, the CPU is slightly overclocked. Tackling with these issues should decrease the heating and battery drain.
1. Dealing with the MEDIASERVER issue:
- Go to Settings>Apps>All Apps.
- Find Media Storage and open it.
- Force Stop it and Clear Data.
- REBOOT the device.
- Go to Settings>Apps>Disabled.
- Find Media Storage, find it and Enable it.
2. Underclocking the CPU:
Disclaimer: This might cause your device to lag a little bit. Also, fiddling with the CPU settings is not generally recommended. So, proceed at your own risk. GG is not responsible for any damage caused to your device whatsoever.
- Open Settings.
- In the search bar, type performance (This is a hidden option).
- Profile — Powersave.
- Processor > Governor– Powersave.
- Minimum clock speed — 200.
- Maximum clock speed — 800 or 1000.
- I/O Scheduler — Noop.
- Memory Management — Check both options.
Hope this helped in fixing the issues. Since this is a software update, we can expect CyanogenMod will fix these in the next software update.
