A new smartphone is almost always fast and stable. But over time, the system is loaded with service information, programs and even viruses, which is why even a powerful 4-core flagship can work slowly. There are several ways to improve the performance of the machine.
The main reason for the slow operation of a smartphone is most often programs. After installation, most of them launch their services, which are constantly running, polling the system for a particular indicator (weather, time, location, etc.). Each poll is an instruction to the processor, so when there are many such programs, the processor becomes busy even in idle mode. Not to mention the RAM of the device, in which all this is located.
Easy setup
This method is suitable even for those who do not understand anything about smartphones. The speed of work is affected by the amount of everything that you have on the screen. If you have 5 desktops (screens when flipping), and you use only one or two, feel free to delete the rest. This will free up the device's RAM. The same applies to widgets (panels). Are there unfamiliar panels on the screen? Delete as well. Having disappeared from the screen, they will not disappear from the device, but the optimization of the smartphone is obvious. Most often they are removed by long pressing and dragging up or down the screen.
Established funds
Most modern devices have manufacturer-installed tools to optimize the smartphone. For example, the LG G3 has SmartCleaning, which increases the free space on the SD card. The method is ineffective, because By virtue of the peculiarity of Android, the load of permanent memory with files practically does not affect performance. You may need this method for post-cleaning memory, but more on that below.
Removing programs
We go to the smartphone settings, look for the "Applications" item or similar, and then go to the "All" tab. This list shows all the apps you have ever installed on your smartphone. The most difficult thing is to study it for obviously unnecessary applications. Most often these are animated desktop wallpapers, games that you have not played for a long time, all kinds of weather widgets - in short, all the programs that you could have installed, just to "see what it is". All this needs to be removed, but be careful not to delete what you are using. The names of these programs should be familiar. You will not be able to delete anything important, because the system will ask for rights that are not so easy to obtain.
After removing all the programs, the above-mentioned standard utilities for optimizing your smartphone will come in handy. If they are not there, it's okay, you can always download analogs for this task from Google Play.
Third Party Applications
Using this item is not recommended for those who do not even have an approximate idea of how its device works. Unfortunately, even on Google Play, there are a lot of spyware and adware applications whose main task is to distribute content, and not to optimize the smartphone. Because the task of cleaning the system is very urgent, spies and advertisers are actively working in this niche. Therefore, be careful.
is a rather old, but constantly updated program. Despite the low efficiency of earlier versions, the developers are constantly improving the algorithms for cleaning the system, which allows us to consider the program as an interesting option. In addition, there is an application manager through which you can conveniently remove any program.
- a useful utility that helps to clean not only temporary application files (cache), but also find duplicate files with empty folders. The results are often pleasantly surprising.
- the analogue of this program on the computer is familiar to many. Nevertheless, on Android it implements its functionality just as well: the program allows you to clear RAM and free up space from unnecessary files.
Outcomes
Despite the wide functionality of modern applications, it is worth remembering that all these tools are also applications, which means they also consume RAM and processor resources. If you have been using the device for a long time, have installed a lot of unnecessary software and have never cleaned the system, then the best option is to install several application-tools at once that will help in solving each specific task. If the device just started to work slower, and you are sure that there is not so much extra on it, then it is better not to install anything at all, but to do with the standard tools and settings.
If the performance of the smartphone has dropped quite insignificantly, then it is worth saying that this is a normal situation, and it manifests itself especially clearly on weak devices. Any programs, even those you need, slow down the device to one degree or another, because they are in RAM, especially antiviruses. This is the reason why a new smartphone is always fast.
