KEEP YOUR ANDROID UP TO DATE
If you haven’t updated your Android phone to the latest firmware, you
should. Google brings great improvements to each new release of the
Android operating system, including updates that ensure stability,
higher performance speed and connectivity along with other user-friendly
new features.
UPDATE YOUR APPS
You should regularly update your phone’s installed apps from Google
Play. Try to get updates your apps when they are available in Google
Play. Developers fix bugs and add features in new released versions of
apps. Updated apps perform better and faster, and will less likely crash
your phone.
UNINSTALL UNWANTED APPS
Every app you install in your phone take some storage space and runs some background processes.
The more storage space occupied or the more background processes running on your phone, the slower your phone’s performance.Don’t install
apps you hardly use. Keep only the apps that you need and if you have
got an app that isn’t really useful, you can uninstall or disable it.
USE LESS WIDGETS
Widgets are not apps, which only run once you choose to activate them.
No, widgets are always running in the background; they are active all
the time.Lots of
widgets can cause your smartphone to run a bit slower than it could
normally. Also realize that live widgets, or widgets that update
frequently such as different weather widgets, can cost you more
performance than some of the more stationary widgets. That being said,
take a look at your widgets and maybe consider taking some of them off,
or changing the update settings of your live widgets to less frequent.
LIVE WALLPAPERS = NO!
Live wallpapers slow down your smartphone, especially those running
older hardware.Phones (from different manufacturers) come with different
live wallpapers.But live wallpapers that are badly made will need more CPU cycles to run, thus draining the battery faster.
MANAGE GOOGLE SERVICES
An Android device automatically includes access to Google services
including Books, Contacts, Currents, Gmail and Google+. A normal android
user does’nt require all of these services,so turn them off and save
from the trouble of downloading more data.
TURN OFF ANIMATIONS
Confused with the term animations?your phone screen actually fades out
and in as you switch from one task to the other. To see this in action
Go to Settings > Developer Options > Window Animation Scale >
Animation scale 10x. Then choose Window Animation Scaleagain to see the
fade in effect in ‘slow-mo’.When you choose Animation off, the screen
just snaps to position without animation. You can also turn off
Transition Animation Scale in the same way. If you are a heavy user,
you’d probably notice that your Android performs faster with all
animations off.
USE A TASK KILLER
Download any free Task Killer apps or TaskManagers from Google Play.
Some of the good ones are Advanced Task Killer and Super Task Killer
Free. Use a task killer to kill background processes and other apps that
you don’t need or you don’t use.Set options to automatically kill unnecessary apps (based on your selections) after every set period of time.
CONCLUSION
Android phones are till now the best in class and mostly prefered by
people around the globe. No matter what your phone specs are, these
android phones eventually starts to slow down.If you follow the above steps you can actually boost you android performance and its battery as well!
