Even the best brands and the most modern smartphone models end up accusing the passage of time in one way or another. Without realizing it, its speed slows down with use. Without becoming a serious problem or cause for alarm, the truth is that we miss the speed of the first days. Fortunately, there are some ways to speed up an android phone.
We must insist that this is something very common that happens to everyone. But that does not mean that nothing can be done and that you have to resign yourself, just like that. If you have noticed that your Android mobile is slowing down and you want it to go faster, the tips that we explain below can be of great help.
We order the following methods from the most basic and simple to the most drastic solutions. Our recommendation is that you try them following the order in which we present them. It is very possible that you solve the problem without having to resort to the most expeditious and complex methods.
Turn off and turn on the mobile
It is a simple solution and perhaps a bit crude, but as we have already said many times, it can also be very effective. that's why always this should be tried before trying more specific solutions.
Although Android phones are designed to always stay on, sometimes you just have to stop them. For example, when an application does not close and ends up interfering with the proper functioning of the device. There are many similar cases that can be resolved in one fell swoop, simply by turning off the mobile and waiting a few seconds to turn it back on later.
Through this reboot, the operating system will perform a internal cleaning, which can eliminate those small malfunctions. If after doing so we do not see any results, we will go to the next method.
Update Android
It is something that everyone should know: you always have to try have the latest Android update installed on our phones. The same can be said about the applications. This is the best way for errors to be corrected automatically. Each new version is released with all the improvements implemented on the bugs detected and reported by users.
With the updated mobile operating system, the overall performance will definitely improve. It is a simple and useful way to speed up an Android mobile.
Force close apps
We return to the applications, one of the most frequent reasons that explain the slow operation of our mobiles. Sometimes, even if we no longer use them, the apps continue to work and consume resources on our device. The solution: force close.
To do so, we can click on the option that shows the active apps on Android and close the chosen application. Another way to do it is to access the phone settings menu. A list of all installed applications is displayed there. You just have to click on the one you want to close and choose the “Force stop” option. If it doesn't respond, we can still try to uninstall it.
In fact, it's not a bad idea. uninstall apps we don't use. Apart from freeing up the storage of our device, we will prevent these apps from consuming resources by running in the background.
One more alternative: Instead of getting rid of certain apps, we can opt to use the lite versions, that is, the light versions. Many popular applications already have them: Facebook Lite, Messenger Lite, Google Search Lite, etc.
Clean the phone "thoroughly"
We said before that simply by restarting the mobile, a file cleanup was already carried out that could help improve its operating speed. Well, the results are even more visible if we undertake a "thorough" cleaning of our device.
The idea is to get rid of those unnecessary files that we all end up accumulating over time: videos, images, documents, audios... Although there are some apps that are offered as supposedly effective tools to perform this type of task, it is best to get the job done. by ourselves.
Yes, going through all our files can be slow and tedious, but only we know how to determine what is really important and what is not. What we want to keep and what we want to erase permanently.
Factory reset
If none of the above has worked so far, we have come to our last stop, the last resort: restore the mobile to its factory settings. By doing this, we will leave it "like new", getting our Android mobile speed up again. Of course, before executing this action it is convenient to carry out a Backup so as not to lose our files.
How to do it? We must follow these steps:
- First we go to the adjustments of the mobile.
- Next, we enter the section "System".
- There we select the option "Advanced".
- The next step is to go to "Recovery options".
- Finally, in the last menu, click on the option return to factory state (may appear with another similar name).
