Has your smart phone slowed down? Here are tips to speed it up
07-12-2017 Thu 14:35

A new smart phone is high on speed. The apps open and move in a flash. But after some months of use, the actual test begins. They take time to open and the speed of functioning is reduced. The users are thereby disheartened. This problem is more in an Android phone. Let us learn about the tips that experts suggest, to speed up smart phones:
Apps, wallpapers, widgets

Background apps

Also check if any apps are synching in the background. Turn off the synchronisation. With this, data as well as system resources are saved. Go to data usage in Settings. In some phones, there is an option called usage on wireless and networks. Scroll down to check which apps are using more data. Go to settings in each app and turn off synchronisation.
App killer
Advance Talks Killer is an app. This, when installed, kills any other app that is occupying more space on the phone and slowing it down.
Clear Cache data

Cache data of apps that you use on a regular basis is useful. But Cache data of some sites that you visited once or twice, also gets accumulated. That is why when the phone slows down, these cache data files have to be cleared. Phone will pick up speed after this step. There is no loss in clearing Cache data. When old Cache data is cleared, the regular apps and sites will take less time to open.
But this difference is only in seconds. There might be a doubt then why to delete. Because Cache data is not just of the sites or apps you regularly view, but also of those that you have visited say just once. These occupy space in the phone, even after the app is deleted, slowing down its process.
In storage or memory option in Settings, a list of how much data is used by which app is recorded. Select one and go to storage option. Click on it and inspect Cache option. If you select clear cache, it will delete the cache data for all the apps. Some models of a few companies, come with Cache cleaner app. You can also download and install Cache Cleaner app from Google Play store, and clean all cache data at a time.
Animations

Background process ltd., is another option in Developer. Several other options like No background process, one process, two processes, etc., are available. Which means that you can decide for yourself, how many processes can run in the background, while you use your phone. If you choose less number of processes, the remaining memory can be utilised for other things. As such the phone will work smoothly, without hitches. If you choose 'No Background Process' option, another option called 'dont keep activities' will show up. You can OK this. Next time you view something and close it, the process stops.
Internal storage

Custom RAM
This is not for everyone. It is meant for those using their phones for long hours and who wish that their phones work really fast. Custom RAM can be used to increase the speed of Android phones. Custom RAM uses less resources than UI or firmware that comes with the phone. It does not burden the phone. Custom RAM is offered not by the manufacturer of the phone, but by a third party. It is better to consult experts before installing this.
Software up-to-date

Factory data reset
This is the last option that you can avail, in case all the above mentioned attempts to speed up your phone fail. Copy all the files and data from the phone on to an external memory card. Then click on Restore factory settings option in Settings. The phone returns to the same condition as it was when you bought it. All the data and apps on the phone will be deleted. This will quicken the processes again. If your phone is still running slow, after all this, buy a new one with good configuration.
