5 Tricks Make Android Smartphone Tighter

When you first use a new Android smartphone, its performance may feel fast and impressive. But, after a few months of usage, you'll find its performance to be slow.

Instead of deciding to buy a replacement smartphone, you may want to consider the following 5 tricks, which will restore your Android smartphone's performance as before.

1 Cleaning the Home Screen

Are there any of you who add lots of widgets in the panels available on the home screen? If so, you should think about it carefully. Indeed, if the number of widgets on the home screen are just a few, it is not a problem. However, if the widgets on the home screen reach dozens, most of which automatically check on the latest updates or display animations, more processor resources work.

Therefore, cleaning the home screen of the widgets, in most cases, will give tangible results to the performance of your smartphone. However, you do not need to delete all widgets until your home screen is completely empty. Simply remove the widgets that you rarely use or do not provide much use. For example, activating Live Wallpapers is not really that important, so you'd better turn it off.

Disable Bloatware

2 Disabling Bloatware

If you have a modern Android smartphone, you will almost certainly sacrifice space and power processing for bloatware applications. Bloatwar is a name given to an application or service that by default is installed on a smartphone, either by the manufacturer or operator, that you may not need, but you can not delete it. Fortunately, since Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) was released, Android users can disable many bloatware on their phones.

3 Turning off GPS

Most people have understood that letting inactive GPS drain the battery. GPS is known to eat up processing resources almost constantly and this actually affects other things you want to do.

If you're using location-based apps, then of course you need to enable GPS. However, keep in mind that you should immediately turn it off, when you are not using it. Turning off GPS can be done directly from the power control widget or from Settings> Location> Use GPS Satellites.

Installing a Cleanup App

4 Installing a Cleaner Application

There are some reputable free apps that will scan your device and show which apps run in the background, which take up a lot of system resources, and potentially slow your smartphone. One of them is Clean Master.

This app includes several features, including the ability to clean up junk files and force running apps to stop. Scanning usually does not take less than a minute, and can very effectively make your phone 'run' faster.

However, if you do not want to install third-party apps, you can use the built-in feature to close apps running in the background. On most Android phones, this feature is enabled by pressing and holding the Home button. Thus, a list of recently-used apps will appear, allowing you to completely close them by swiping them from the screen.

Factory Reset

5 Factory Reset

If all four ways above you have done, but your Android smartphone is still slow, maybe its time for you to do factory reset - there is also a mention hard reset. Especially in older smartphones, factory resets are the best way to get performance improvements.

Factory reset is not a step that can be taken lightly because it will erase all data and settings that have been previously set permanently. Not only that, factory reset will also remove applications that have been downloaded and installed. Therefore, make sure you have backed up the data and files you want to keep. Fortunately, factory reset will not delete data and files stored on the microSD card.

To take this step, you can look for Settings menu, in Android Lollipop for example, search Settings> Backup & Reset> Factory data reset> Reset phone. Before this step starts, a warning appears that this step will erase all data in the internal save room.

Once the factory reset is complete, your smartphone will restart, and you will have to re-enter Google account details, and so on, so make sure you know the details.
