Why does my phone not charge? Screen says: Paused by temp.?

Question

my phone doesn't charge, whenever i hook it up to a charger it says "paused by temp."

Answer 1

The temperature sensor on the battery thinks the battery is too hot to charge. So I guess the first question to you is ... how hot is the battery when you are trying it charge it? Room temperature? If so you have a problem. If hotter than room temperature, I'd try cooling it down ( in front of a fan) for a bit and then try again.

If that doesn't help and you're adventurous, I would try putting it in the refrigerator for a while and then allowing it to come back to room temperature and then trying again to charge it.
