“10 Steps to Make Your Android Phone Not Slow”

Unknowingly Android cellphone users can make certain mistakes that can significantly slow down their devices.

Reporting from GizChina, Tuesday (30/5), here’s how to make your Android phone not slow:

Perform a software update
One of the mistakes that cell phone users sometimes don’t realize is not updating their phone software. Software updates available on phones often include critical bug fixes, security patches and performance improvements. In order for the cellphone to continue to work optimally, don’t ignore the updates that your device must experience.

Don’t let the phone background overwork
Having too many applications running at one time can slow down your smartphone. Therefore, it is important to check and disable any apps you don’t need running in your background.

Don’t overload the screen with too many widgets
While the presence of widgets is very helpful in providing quick access to information, keeping too many widgets on the phone’s home screen can also affect the performance of the phone itself. Therefore, it is recommended to limit the number of widgets on your home screen.

Pay attention to the storage memory so that it is not full
Full storage space can actually affect the performance of a cellphone. Apart from the processor to the RAM, the internal storage is one of the important parts that affect the performance of the cellphone. For that, make sure to remove the existence of unnecessary files and applications from your Android.

Don’t download apps from unknown sources
Apps downloaded from unofficial sources can pose security risks and introduce various viruses into the phone. For this reason, before downloading an application, it’s a good idea to really pay attention to where the application comes from so it doesn’t harm your cellphone.

Pay attention to the presence of application cache
If you don’t pay attention to the presence of application cache on your cellphone, then that can make your cellphone cache accumulate more and more every day. The existence of a cache that fills the cellphone can make your cellphone even slower. This is because all apps try to store temporary files on their device, even the insignificant ones. For this reason, it is necessary to occasionally delete the cache from your Android cellphone so that the device can still run optimally.

Do not ignore battery optimization settings
Android phones offer battery optimization settings that can extend battery life and improve phone performance. Since battery life contributes to the life of the phone, this feature needs to be activated when you run out of power without a charger available.

Excessive notification reception
The existence of excessive notifications can disrupt your Android workflow. This is because when a smartphone continuously receives lots of notifications, it puts extra stress on the processor. Therefore, it is important to adjust notification settings and make sure that you only get notifications from the apps you want.

Periodically restart the phone
Periodically restarting your Android phone can help remove temporary files and refresh system resources. Just press and hold the Power button, then select “Start” from the options provided, then your Android will restart automatically. This can improve performance and resolve software glitches for the device.

Ignoring security measures
Don’t neglect every security measure your phone provides. The existence of this security measure is able to ensure that your smartphone is always safe from all kinds of software loopholes. Therefore, always make sure to install security patches as soon as you receive updates.

Leaving the phone drained of battery to death
Leaving the cellphone to turn off because it runs out of battery is an action that you should avoid. Letting the battery drain to zero can in fact make the cellphone’s performance decrease. It’s best if Android is maintained between 20 and 80 percent battery level to extend battery life and maintain the performance of your Android phone.
