If you have noticed that your Android phone or tablet performance have been 'slowing down', don't worry. There are several steps you can take to increase performance of your Android phone or tablet.
With just a few tips, you’d probably be able to breathe life into your Android specifically those that have been updated to Android 4.0 and above.
1. Know Your Device
It is very important to know your phone, you should learn about the capabilities and drawbacks of your phone. Don’t overburden your phone with resource-hungry apps which would otherwise degrade your phone’s performance at your expense.
2. Kill Background Apps
Android is capable of doing multitask which is great, but there is a disadvantage also many application running in background consumes lots of memory. It’s best to completely close apps with the Advanced Task Killer app currently available in Play Store. Unlike Android’s built-in app shutdown, this download shows a single list of each running app on your device and lets you select the ones you’d like to turn off.
3. Update Your Android
If you haven’t updated your Android phone to the latest firmware, you should. Google brings great improvements to each new release of the Android operating system, including updates that ensure stability, higher performance speed and connectivity along with other user-friendly new features.
4. Remove Unwanted Apps
When application is installed in phone it take some storage space and runs some background processes. The more storage space occupied or the more background processes running on phone, the slower phone’s performance.
Avoid installing apps that you hardly use. Keep only the apps that you need and if you have got an app that isn’t really useful, you can uninstall or disable it.
5. Disable Unnecessary Apps
'Performance assistant' was introduced in Android ICS 4.0 to help you disable apps that slow down phone's performance. Disabling apps is different from uninstalling apps – uninstallation means complete removal application files from the phone while disabling app means no file is deleted or removed. These disabled apps are not shown on the home screen or app tray but you can re-enable them for use whenever you need them.
6. Update Apps
Updating installed phone's app from Google Play matters a lot in increasing phone performance. Whenever update is available for installed apps phone notifies you, download it because developers fix bugs and add features in new released versions of apps. Updated apps perform better and faster, and will less likely crash your phone.
7. Avoid Live Wallpapers
Android’s live wallpaper feature is just awesome but it has drawback also it drains battery. Phones come with different live wallpapers but you should know that live wallpapers that are badly made will need more CPU cycles to run. So it's better to avoid live wallpaper when performance is considered.
8. Turn Off Animation
What animation is? Well, if you haven’t noticed, your phone screen actually fades out and in as you switch from one task to the other. To see this in action Go to Settings > Developer Options > Window Animation Scale > Animation scale 10x. Then choose Window Animation Scale again to see the fade in effect in slow-motion.
When you choose Animation off, the screen just snaps to position without animation. You can also turn off Transition Animation Scale in the same way. If you are a heavy user, you’d probably notice that your Android performs faster with all animations off.
9. Keep Fewer Widgets
Widgets are not apps, which only run once you choose to activate them. No, widgets are always running in the background, they are active all the time. While some Android users use it to keep track of the weather, and their important dates, others use widgets like 'Extended controls' for quick access for essential configurations such as switching Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or their GPS on or off.
They do have their uses but keep in mind that having too many of them running on your homescreen will cause your device’s performance to slow down.
10. Use High Speed Memory Card
Use Class 6 or Class 10 memory cards for your smartphones.
