Have you ever struggled with your android device being unresponsive and very sluggish? Many of the answers would be “yes!” for the above question.
Step 1 : Shoot out those spies.
Briefly the things which drink
lot of your device’s RAM are
- Live Wallpapers
- Widgets
- Background app services.
What to do?
1.1) Disable or uninstall all the
live wallpapers and try some decent wallpaper (Go here if you want some) for
your android device.
1.2) Disable the widgets which make
use of the RAM all the time they run. Select only few widgets to run which are
more useful to you.
1.3) Kill the process and stop the
apps which take a huge chunk of RAM (Be careful not to disable any system related
processes)
Step 2 : "The App Movement"
Apps which you may hardly use
also have chances of running all the time in your device. And some of the apps
may reside in your device memory occupying considerable space. Remember
the more free space you have in your device internal memory, the faster your
phone can write to the disk.
What to do?
2.1) Review all the applications installed
in your android device and uninstall the unused apps and apps which you rarely
use.
2.2) Try to push the apps to SD
storage. Not all the apps can be moved but almost the apps in the device can be
moved to SD storage.
Step 3: Restart device.
Rebooting your device would
regain fresh RAM and thus makes your device faster.
Additional tips:
Always monitor your device from
suspicious apps which use a big amount of RAM and try to get away from them.
Always end the apps after using
them because they run in the background until you end and take a lot of processor
and thus consequently the battery too.
Increase the refresh interval
of Facebook Gmail and other social media apps which regularly need to connect
to internet for updates.
Update all your essential apps because
case is that app makers always optimize the way the app uses the device’s resources.
Try a different launcher like LauncherPro
which may not really increase the performance but can be the best replacement
for the sluggish native android launcher.
Try installing some device management
apps like 1Tap Cleaner , Memory Booster to clean and speed up your device
