- Airplane mode, or device turned off when not in use, prevents it from heating up unnecessarily.

I never use my phone when I’m charging, and if I get a call I unplug it from the charger. In addition to shortening the life of batteries, it is dangerous. One of the worst experiences is having your phone explode when you are using it.
