Battery overheating

[ckh]

My Xperia P overheats when phone signal on HSPDA drops to minimum and it doesn't switch to Edge. The signal strength is very weak compare to my daughter's Galaxy Y using the same Telco. Can the signal strength power be increase?

This is not a problem, it is how many mobile phones work. And also it is not the battery itself that heats up, it is a part of the hardware which heats up, this is because more power is consumed during a weak signal to boost its signal reception this is to keep the signal as strong as it can, so you end up consuming more battery and phone over heating.

if you have weak signal in WCDMA try switching it to GSM only, but that does not guarantee full signal in GSM as it depends on your network coverage area.

hmmmm ah now i get it..thanks man i'll keep that in mind

Thanks. I have tried switching GSM only and the signal strength is better but this does not happen to my daughter's Galaxy Y. One simple and cheap Galaxy Y don't have any problem at all.

I guess I will send my Xperia P to the service centre for a check up.
