How do you feel when cyour mobile phone becomes unresponsive or slows down in operations? This problem can be very frustrating especially when using your mobile phone or otheer devices for important assignments that require speed. Boosting a phone or device’s speed and general performance has been much of a desire to so many users but to a large extent, it has not really become successful. However, it is very possible to make your mobile devices, phones, computers or gadgets generally become fast and responsive by following thew steps listed ion this post below.
First thing, organize your device’s storage system before starting to accept files.
Most people make the mistake of just inserting SIMS, charging device batteries and then start using it for general purposes. To ensure a proper arrangement of your data, your phone storage and filling system must be organized first. In the SETTINGS of most android devices, there is a provision to choose which location you would want to store your received files. You may choose to store your files in the internal storage of your device, otherwise save on the external storage. Note that your choice of storage location would be determined by the storage capacities of either your device’s internal memory and that of the external storage. It is strongly recommended to choose the larger storage location for all files.
Another step towards organising your device’s storage system is to create folders under the chosen storage location. Such folders would specifically be for different file types. Image files, video files, scripts and documents, Apps etc would have their specific folders respectively. Setting up these folders would ensure that files are easily assessed and stored rationally. Rational and organized storage pattern makes the phone device more efficient and speedy in calling up files to be processed.
Uninstall Apps that Are not Responding or not in use.
Some phones or devices usually come with some pre-installed Apps by default. However, so many other applications are installed by the user for many purposes. Over time, some of these apps may stop responding or become out of use. Recall that any App installed in the device take up some storage space as well as processor spaces. These contribute in slowing down your phone device. The more installed apps you have, the more difficult it would be for your device to process commands or perform.
Therefore, you are advised to remove any application from the phone when they become unresponsive or out of use. Freeing up memory space by deleting or uninstalling apps is a good practice in making a phone optimally function in speed and general performances.
How to Uninstall Apps from Android Phones
To uninstall or remove Apps from android phone or devices, go to the SETTINGS , scroll down to Apps and click to open. All the installed applications on the phone shall be displayed. Also the system might show you even apps that came with the device by default. I do not recommend that you uninstall any default or system apps. Uninstalling such apps might make the device to malfunction or crash as they could could contain system files.
On any app you wish to remove from the phone, click on it. At this point, you will see options which includes UNINSTALL. Click the uninstall button and the app is removed from the phone in a matter of few seconds.
With lesser apps to clog up memory space, the phone runs at greater speed and performance due to larger free memory and procerssor capacity.
Move Apps and Files to Secondary Storage
Apart from choosing either internal memory or SD card as storage location initially, there is still nedd to periodically migrate your files and contents to a secondary storage device.Such secondary storage might still be a removable memory card, or an entirely external storage.Moving files and contents to secondary storage helps to free up memory space, which relieves the phone of load and makes it functions at speed and boosts performance. Secondary storage also helps to keep your files and contents safe as backup to the original items if you still wish to retain what you have got in the primary storage.
Stop Background Apps from Running when not in use
The android operating systems and indeed other OS like the android 6.0 Marshmallow are built to multitask. Multitasking is the ability of a phone or device to run more than one function at same time. Any active app not currently on homescreen is running in the background and consumes memory space, which causes the phone to slow down operating speed.
Regularly check for background running apps and kill them to relieve the processor memory they occupy to boost the general phone speed and performance. Today, there are apps which also help to automatically kill background running Apps to save memory space and boost phone performing speed.
Clear Cache and Log files Regularly
The cashe is like a reservoir where residual and historical data of every processes going on in the phone is stored. The cache can best be described as a registry of all processes or activities carried out by the phone or device. However it is slightly different from a phone’s log file, but both are all phone data registries. As expected, data files build up on these two registries and silently clogs up large amounts of storage space.A free cashe and log will give more power to phones to function optimally at normal speed.
Use Quality and Updated Antivirus
A good way to always keep your phone performance running at optimal speed without hanging or slowing down is to engage a strong, updated and quality antivirus software. Mobile VIRUS, which means Vital Information running Under siege is a common enemy of phone speed and optimal performance.
Viruses can even make your phone crash, hand, become unresponsive or misbehave in ways you can never imagine. Use quality brands of antivirus and always ensure they are regularly updated. Regular updates gives your antivirus the most recent collection of virus definitions, which helps it fight all forms of viruses imaginable.
There are many good antivirus software you can purchase and download either from internet, phone’s app store or from other trusted sources. Antivirus or other anti-malware helps to protect your phone or devices from running under siege any system file or data.
Delete Messages and Message Threads to Free Memory and boost phone speed
Messages systematically but slowly accumulate, conytributing to the slow performance of phones due to reduced memory space. When you form the habit of wiping off your messages – inbox, outbox, sent and other folders, it helps to clear up memory leaving enough working space for phones and devices.
