Fix the driver behind crashes, sound loss and screen glitchesFind Drivers →Repair Windows errors before they cause bigger problemsFix Now →If Pokémon GO is making your phone hot, stop playing and unplug it, move it out of direct sunlight, and let it cool in a cooler, ventilated place before starting again. To reduce battery use during normal play, lower screen brightness, try the game’s Battery Saver, and avoid prolonged sessions in hot conditions. There is no single guaranteed fix: battery use and warmth vary with the phone, battery health, brightness, GPS, signal, network, weather, and whether the phone is charging.
What to do first if your phone is too hot
- Stop playing and disconnect the charger. Do not keep running the game or charging a phone that is already hot.
- Move the phone out of direct sunlight and hot surroundings. Set it somewhere cooler and ventilated, not inside an enclosed or poorly ventilated space.
- Let it cool before using it again. The guidance does not specify a universal cooling time, so wait until the phone is no longer hot rather than relying on a timer.
If an iPhone or iPad displays a temperature warning, Apple advises turning the device off, moving it to a cooler place away from direct sunlight, and allowing it to cool. Apple lists 0°C to 35°C (32°F to 95°F) as the ambient operating range for iPhone and iPad; this is not a Pokémon GO limit and should not be assumed to apply to other phones. Apple Support also warns: “Using an iOS or iPadOS device in very hot conditions can permanently shorten battery life.” Apple’s temperature guidance

Reduce Pokémon GO’s screen and workload
Lower brightness and avoid direct sun
Lower the display brightness to a comfortable level and, when possible, play out of direct sunlight. Gaming and prolonged GPS use can contribute to warmth, especially in hot conditions. Google’s Pixel guidance also recommends avoiding enclosed or poorly ventilated places and suggests using Wi-Fi instead of mobile data where practical to reduce heat. That is Pixel-specific guidance, not a guarantee for every Android phone or situation. Google Pixel overheating guidance
What’s actually slowing this PC down?

Try the game’s Battery Saver
Pokémon GO has an in-game Battery Saver that dims or turns off the display when you point the device downward. Niantic says distance tracking continues as though the display were on; vibration can still notify you about nearby Pokémon if vibration is enabled. This can help reduce screen use while walking, but the screen being off means you cannot watch the game continuously. Niantic: Battery Saver mode

- Linear damping telescopic clip: easy to adjust, pay attention! Suitable for all types of mobile phones with a width of "6 to 7.5 centimeters". NEVEIKIA mobile phone cooling can cool down when connected to a power source.（Attention: It is best to remove the phone case when using it for a better experience!）
- Quick cooling: Dual engine, cooling principle is the same as a refrigerator, not ordinary fan cooling. It can cool your phone in "3 to 5 seconds", avoiding overheating and ensuring a stable live streaming or gaming experience.
- Dual power supply design: supports powering the radiator through a mobile phone, and can also be connected to an external power source for use; When connected to an external power source, it can provide stable power to both the radiator and the phone, avoiding interruption of heat dissipation due to insufficient power during long-term use and ensuring continuous and stable heat dissipation performance.
- Silent engine cooling: The fan with dual silent design can effectively dissipate air from all directions, providing stronger cooling effect without interfering with your games or Vlog programs.
- Expanded cooling area: Approximately 2.82x1.29 inches of extreme thermal conductivity cooling area, covering the CPU and battery module, protecting your phone from blackening or sudden shutdown.
The game’s Battery Saver is different from your phone’s system battery-saver mode. Niantic warns that device-based power-saving modes can affect Adventure Sync distance tracking. If distance tracking is unexpectedly inaccurate, check whether the phone’s system power-saving mode is interfering. Niantic: troubleshooting Adventure Sync
Avoid adding unnecessary load
If the phone starts warming during play, close other resource-intensive tasks and avoid charging while playing where practical. Charging can add warmth, particularly during resource-intensive use; Google includes gaming and demanding use while charging among situations that can warm a Pixel. Do not leave a charging phone in direct sun or an enclosed space.

Whether gaming, broadcasting live, video conferencing, or vlogging, this compact cooler helps prevent thermal throttling and keeps your device cool and responsive throughout intensive use.
If the battery still runs down quickly
First try the free changes above and consider whether the conditions themselves explain the drain: a bright screen, prolonged GPS use, weak signal, mobile data, hot weather, an older or degraded battery, and charging during play can all affect how quickly a phone loses charge. The available official guidance does not establish a Pokémon GO battery-drain rate per hour or a percentage saved by any particular setting, so there is no reliable universal playtime estimate.
If the phone is cool but charge capacity is still the problem on a long outing, a compatible portable power bank can provide additional capacity. Check connector compatibility and choose a size you are willing to carry. It is an optional way to extend a session, not an overheating remedy: stop charging if the phone becomes hot, and keep it out of direct sun and enclosed spaces while charging.

When to troubleshoot the app or phone
Use app repair steps for crashes or other malfunctions
Make sure Pokémon GO is updated. If the app is also crashing or malfunctioning, Niantic’s Android troubleshooting guidance includes refreshing game data, clearing the cache, and reinstalling the app. These are general app troubleshooting steps, not documented thermal fixes. Niantic: Android troubleshooting guide
Niantic lists minimum supported platform requirements but cautions that meeting them does not guarantee that every device or configuration will work. Check its current requirements if the game is unstable on a particular phone. Niantic: supported devices

Get manufacturer support for recurring heat or shutdowns
If the phone repeatedly becomes too hot, shuts down, or shows a temperature warning even when you are not playing, contact the phone manufacturer’s support service. For Pixel phones that continue turning off, Google advises contacting Pixel support. Game-related symptoms alone are not enough to diagnose a battery defect. Google Pixel overheating guidance
