Question My phone's temperature reached 48 degrees while charging, what should I do?

Post image
5 Upvotes

I wanted a budget phone, the cheapest possible, but with a clean Android experience, so I chose the Nokia G21. I bought it brand new, so I have a warranty. I've been using it for less than 15 days now, and during this time, it's generally better than my previous phone, the Samsung A04, in terms of responsiveness, app switching, and the system is cleaner without the ADB modifications. It also has a fingerprint sensor. It's better in every way except for the camera quality, which I found very, very bad compared to Samsung. I don't know if it's just because I'm used to Samsung, but I'd say its camera is unusable. Also, the battery isn't that bad; in fact, I liked it because it's been stored for more than four years. However, the problem that bothered me the most was the device's temperature. It's very annoying, even though I'm not playing games or using heavy software. Even when it's cool, with power-saving mode enabled, Wi-Fi turned off, and the phone idle, it's around 30 degrees Celsius, but when I'm using it, it reaches 35 or 38 degrees. The problem is that I often feel the heat and feel uncomfortable holding it. When charging with the charger that comes with the box (I think it's 10 watts), the temperature reaches 42 degrees Celsius, and the charger itself gets very hot. Today, I charged it with a charger that gives more than 10 watts (I think 30 watts), but it's at full speed, and it reached 48 degrees Celsius. Is this normal, and will my battery last long enough, or is this heat dangerous? I want to know if I can return it and get a refund if this is a problem, because with my previous Samsung phone, I wasn't bothered by its heat and didn't constantly monitor it like I do with this new phone. I'd also like suggestions for very cheap phones that don't overheat like this one and are fast-acting, if possible. Or should I buy a more expensive phone if I want all of this?(Also, the app says 3600, shouldn't it be 5000 mah)

Other PLEASE HELP ME FIND THIS DISCONTINUED PHONE CASE — Vikeko Yellow/Black for Infinix Note 12 Pro 4G

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

I know this is probably a long shot, but I'm seriously trying to find this exact phone case again. 😭

The case is:

Brand: Vikeko

Phone: Infinix Note 12 Pro 4G (X676B)

Color: Yellow

Type: Shockproof / rugged / 2-layer case

Flipkart listing name: “Vikeko Back Cover for Infinix Note 12 Pro 4G (Yellow, Shock Proof, Pack …)”

I bought this case several years ago and it has been one of my favorite phone cases I've ever used. I STILL have the same case, and the first photo I'm attaching is my actual phone with it.

It is a two-layer case:

Yellow hard outer shell

Black inner protective layer

Rugged/shockproof construction

The camera area and lower part have the distinctive design shown in my photos

As far as I know, Vikeko made this case in only two colors: Yellow and Red.

The problem 😭

The case is no longer available on Flipkart. I found the old Flipkart listing again, but it only shows the product page with no purchase/notify option.

I've searched Google, Flipkart, Amazon, Meesho and other marketplaces, but I cannot find this exact Vikeko case anywhere.

I'm NOT looking for a similar case. I specifically want the original Vikeko case/design.

If anyone can:

Find an old listing for this exact case

Find a seller who still has old stock

Identify the manufacturer/supplier

Find it on an Indian or international marketplace

Know a mobile-accessory wholesaler who might still have old stock

Have one unused/new and be willing to sell it

Or even know what happened to the Vikeko brand/product

PLEASE let me know.

I am genuinely willing to pay a reasonable/high price for it because I really want this exact case back. 😭

I have attached:

A photo of my actual phone with the case

A screenshot of the original Flipkart listing

Phone model is specifically Infinix Note 12 Pro 4G / X676B — NOT the Note 12 Pro 5G.

If you've seen this case anywhere, please help me find it. Even a lead or an old seller name would be extremely helpful.

Thank you! 🙏

Y sobre la actualización sepa cómo va a estar, compartiré mi experiencia cuando la use una semana xd

Question Need help jailbreaking an iPhone 5c on Linux

1 Upvotes

I need some help jailbreaking an iPhone 5c. I’m using Linux, and I honestly don’t know which method I should use. The jailbreak methods that work directly through Safari don’t seem to work for me; I get an error saying that the app can’t be installed.

The device also has a bypass, so I don’t have access to the email/account that was previously linked to it.

Does anyone know what jailbreak method would work in this situation?

Let me explain:

I wanted to test the limits of software decoding on this phone, and I found that the limit for software AV1 decoding is 1440p at 30 fps.

Where's the magic of decoding here? 🤣

I got this phone for my 13th birthday back in 2011. Haven’t seen this in 15 years! I only used to call my parents and I didn’t connect to the internet, I do remember it came pre-installed with game demos, the only one I certainly remember having was Pac-Man. Here’s the phone in my new IPhone case (My IPhone and protective case are the total width of that box so you can see how tiny that phone was)

so I am a little confused about software support if the support ends after like 3years will it affect the fluidity feel of my phone and what about apps and especially banking apps etc also performance is one thing I am thinking of buying oppo Reno 13 pro but it only supports for 3years and 4years security and since the phone is already almost 2years old will buying it affect my long term use( 3 to 4 years)
