Normally, mobile phones are able to keep their body temperatures within a safe operating range so they work properly. However, you may have received a heat warning notification when using your phone outdoors during the summer. That, or it just started crashing, slow and didn’t even let you use some apps. It is reasonable that it happens in the burning heat and it is done to protect the integrity of the bodies.
Android has had this kind of functionality through “Device Health Services” for a long time, and the truth is, they’re running pretty well. However, when the temperature is too high, there are times when the device cannot solve itself and needs your help. Google knows this, and that’s why, with your help, it’s developing “Adaptive Thermal” coming to Android to deal with the summer heat.
It will soon tell you what steps you need to take to cool down your Android smartphone
As we mentioned earlier, Android has several features that help keep the temperature from dropping when it gets too hot. For example, Google may do things like limit Pixel performance, slow down charging, turn off the camera flash, turn off the camera, and partially or completely limit the use of wireless networks. But what if your cell phone just can’t do it? That’s when you have to step in and surrender. Don’t know how? With Adaptive Thermal you can easily find out.
What is Adaptive Thermal? It’s a new feature that the Android Authority team discovered in the code. Device Health Services 1.27 (en los Pixel). It’s not activated yet, but it’s basically a thermal management system that sends alerts of various actions you need to take to help reduce the temperature of your device. There are generally three modes of operation, divided as follows.
Temperature preview: This mode When it reaches 49°C, it activates and sends a floating alarm It says “Your phone needs to cool down. You may experience slow performance, try to avoid direct sunlight or close battery-draining apps.” Also, there’s a “View Care Steps” link, which when clicked will show you several steps to reduce the temperature. It works when it reaches 52 °C And the same alarm as the previous one is presented, but now with more severe measures (currently unknown temperature) – this is the most important Adaptive Thermal and It works when it reaches 55 degrees Celsius On internal organs. In this case, a new floating ad has been introduced, warning that the device will be turned off in 30 seconds to prevent damage. It’s enough time to save you from missing out on what you need.
Adaptive Thermal monitors the temperature every 5 minutes after the first mode is activated, thus guaranteeing that your phone will not be damaged by overheating. And if you’re wondering, what are those steps he recommends you take? Here are the ones we know so far:

Now, Adaptive Thermal allows you to continue without them, although we don’t recommend doing so to avoid an emergency shutdown. Plus, it’s a feature exclusive to the Google Pixel, at least for now. When will it be released? We don’t know, but it could arrive with the Google Pixel 9 via a monthly update or Android 15.
