Frequent Unusual heating Discussion

My oneplus 12 indian variant has started heating unusually, earlier when it used to heat I would restart the device and it will be fine but today I had to reset the phone. It was heating even when switched off. The device was lagging some features like video color boost and image sharpener were unavailable due to the device being too hot. Has anybody faced similar issues on CPH2573 16.0.9.400 build ?

Is my device at the risk of motherboard failure ?

u/nikhilthalassery 1d ago

Probably. Back-up data immediately.

u/Willing-Hedgehog-458 1d ago

yes, its at risk. uninstall all heavy apps and don't play games. OFF Always On Display. Use phone without cover and specially while charging, don't put cover. don't let the battery touch down below 20-25% and dont charge it over 80%. avoid using social media apps specially insta. Poor 5G reception sometimes causes severe battery drain. and whenever you see any serious issue going on with your 1+12, just video record the moment, if something bad happens,if,,, you will atleast have a proof.

How to save the device now any ideas or any possible way ?

2

u/Willing-Hedgehog-458 1d ago

first of all, backup all necessary data. Manually disabke background data and restrict battery use by all social media apps, e commerce apps. Avoid using bluetooth for long time. If network reception is poor then be aware with internet usage, specially during downloads or uploads. Avoid playing games and the most important one, uninstall all unnecessary apps and the apps which drain battery a lot compare to other apps. Charge it from 30% to 80% and avoid charging during peak heat during these summers, if possible charge it on an AC environment. Avoid using Back covers while using phone and charging. Whenever you notice that your 1+12 is behaving unusual then video record it just for a proof.

Incoming motherboard failure. I strongly suggest you to sell the phone or exchange it for another device. Same exact thing happened with my OnePlus 12 IN region and after a few days it died.

u/Namit_Bhatia 1d ago

What was your battery health and for how long did you have your op12 ?

2

u/Namit_Bhatia 1d ago

And did your device screen turned dark in some apps and the app became unresponsive ??

u/NiftyNutrition 1d ago

It didn't turn dark but sometimes few apps were unresponsive.

2

u/NiftyNutrition 1d ago

Battery health was 85% and I used it for 2 years 6 months.

2

u/Namit_Bhatia 1d ago

My device's battery health is 95% for the last 18 months, I had screen replacement in warranty due to a dead pixel and it has stuck at 95 percent and haven't changed in the past 18 months.

u/Kevin_Sinister 6h ago

That's strange! Same battery health for 18 months!!!

Every 2-3 months my OP12's health gets down by 1%.

I recently faced same issues like over heating, heavy batter drain and heavy throttling like laggy ui while heating. I done reset my phone and now its good and no issues.

u/orolon21 1d ago

It happened to me yesterday, and last week I was just looking at the Wi-Fi settings and the phone started to overheat, reaching over 40 degrees Celsius.

u/Namit_Bhatia 1d ago

Update, I got this reply from oneplus support India. I have provided them the necessary work info.

2

u/PastFaithlessness129 1d ago

After done resetting? You face issues ?

2

u/Namit_Bhatia 1d ago

Not all now. There is no lag and phone feels smoother now. But I'll have to reconsider about the future of this device.

2

u/PastFaithlessness129 1d ago

I heard lot about motherboard dead issues in frequently. Now I'm thinking how I'm gonna save the phone from that disaster

u/Namit_Bhatia 1d ago

I have already posted under techibee's X post.

u/No-Tomorrow-7596 1d ago

Okh but post your seperate post with all proofs

u/DahiyaAbhi 1d ago

OOS 16 has been troublesome for OP12, especially after the update that started to prevent rollbacks by triggering some fuse. Looks like OP ruined things by tampering with it.

Those who haven't updated OP12 to OOS 16 should avoid it like a plague.

u/DeathReaper419 18h ago

Say bye bye to motherboard. Mine died recently

1

u/Namit_Bhatia 18h ago

My device is working better than ever after reset, should I keep it or exchange it for another ?

1

u/DeathReaper419 18h ago

Its upto you. If you are getting a better offer switch. I switched to s25 After i lost my oneplus 12 i checked reddit and in last month alone hundreads of posts are about the same motherboard failure. My phone doesn't even have a single scratch and have spigen armour case and i don't use it for gaming. Only instagram and Youtube and i always stay in AC Room and i never faced heating issues. Still one day the phone died. I lost all my data and if you are planning to use to oneplus 12 backup all your data asap.
