Your Android phone was probably very fast when you first used it, wasn’t it? However, over time and with use, the overall operation has become slower than before, whether it’s unlocking the phone or opening the lock screen, and even apps and tools take longer to load. This is a common problem among users, but there’s nothing to worry about. Here are 7 simple steps or tips to speed up your Android phone. This is not the first time we have shared some of these tips; you can check them out here or here.
* The tips are summarized in the following steps:
* Identify the problem.
* Check the memory.
* What’s wrong with the widget.
* Disable animations.
* Free up RAM.
* Restart the phone.
1. Identify the problem:
The first step in solving any problem is to identify it, to know what is causing the problem, whether it’s apps or the system itself. This step is done by examining the phone in real-time, including internal diagnostics like CPU capabilities, password hints, network overview, WiFi data, loads, RAM usage, and more.
The Trepn app is one of the best in this field, as it provides various methods to display accumulated data and can save data for display without the need for an internet connection. Once you have identified the problem, you can move on to the solutions below.
2. Free up space:
Running out of storage space is a common problem among users, and most do not realize that this problem can cause significant slowing down of the phone’s response. You can check your storage space by going to Settings and then Storage. This is one of the easiest ways to free up space by identifying unnecessary apps and uninstalling them. There are other ways to free up space, such as deleting large and unimportant files, using apps like Clean Master to help, and clearing cache by going to Apps, opening each app, and clearing its cache. Another point is getting rid of system apps that are usually not essential, although this can only be done if your Android phone is rooted.
3. Stop widgets:
While widgets can be useful shortcuts on the home screen, they consume a lot of phone resources, such as battery and processor. If you have too many unnecessary widgets, disable them to free up resources, especially the most important ones like processor, RAM, and battery.
4. Disable animations:
Regardless of the launcher you use, there are many animations and effects on your smartphone that can slow it down. You can disable these animations, especially the ones on the home screen or lock screen, and opt for static graphics instead to see the difference in speed.
5. Close apps and free up RAM:
Running multiple apps can make it easy to switch between different tools, but it can also impact performance. Quickly close apps you’re not using by accessing the app switcher either by long-pressing the home button and swiping away apps or by pressing the menu button on modern phones, or go to the RAM tab in settings, press the clear space button to close all background apps, which are usually one of the main reasons for phone slowness.
6. Restart the phone:
A quick fix that doesn’t require any additional steps is simply restarting or powering off and then turning back on your phone. The process takes less than a minute and helps clear cached memory, stop unnecessary tasks, and make things smoother.
