A slow Android device is quite
annoying, click on an app and it takes like centuries to open and perform
regularly. This is the last thing you should expect from your fun “PC in the pocket”
I have passed through it too and
have made a lot of research now I’ve
gotten 7 hit on the head tips to speed up your Android device.
These are how to speed up your
Android device
- Close apps when not in use
Letting an unused app run is just giving your Android device
an extra work to do when you don’t even need I to do the work. These slows down your Android device as it has to share
resources evenly for the app you left running and the ones you really need to
use at that particular time.
So to speed up your Android device
I strongly advice you close all running app that are not in use.
- Clean up the App Cache Memory
All Android apps store their data
within the App cache memory and later recall
the data by using your system resources very often which slow down your Android device. Due to this, your smartphone's internal memory also gets
reduced. You can repair this and speed up Android
phone performance by clearing your Android app
cache data from the memory within the settings
of every app.
However, if you have got too many
apps, it will take much time to clear your App
cache manually. You might like to read how to

We know that, applications make
the smartphones even smarter. But wait,
having too many apps can severely kill your system
resources. As a result, installing too many
apps can lead to always running innumerous
processes within the background which may result in slowing down of your Android smartphone.
To repair this drawback of your
phone to speed up Android phone performance
once more, you've got to uninstall the unnecessary Android apps.
How to uninstall an Android application from your
smartphone
Go to manage applications option,
found under Settings.
Then, simply select any Android app that you wish to uninstall
and click on uninstall.
Then, a pop up window will appear
confirming “Do
you want to uninstall this app?” Click on Yes/OK and the app
will be uninstalled.
Alternative Method:
Go to App Menu and find the app
you wish to uninstall. Tap over the app and
hold it for some time. Then, an option to
simply “Uninstall” will appear. Select it and app
will be removed from your device.

effective way how to speed up Android phone.
- Turn off the Mobile Data and Wi-Fi Connectivity
Lots of apps that are internet
based like Facebook tweeter Gmail always connect with the web for real-time
updates.
This tends to drain your battery
power and at the same time give the processor a lot of work always. Turn off
your data connection or Wi-Fi to save some battery and help your Android device
be up to speed.
To turn off the mobile data
connectivity, go to data usage under settings
option and simply turn it off.

speed up your Android phone performance.
Let’s move to the next step.
- Remove the Unnecessary Widgets
When an app is newly installed, a shortcut
is automatically created for easy access of the app, these shortcuts are called
widget. These shortcuts tend to eat up your device memory making it slow.
Also some external launchers come
with a lot of widgets, removing the unnecessary ones speeds up your Android device
and at the same time free some space on your Android device.
- Adjusting Brightness
Using high brightness settings
also reduce your battery and device performance.
So, to enable power saving mode merely adjust your
brightness time to time. I would recommend you to use automatic brightness option and
reduce the sleep time in your Android device
to save battery life and speed up Android phone
performance.
