8 Tips To Maintain Your Android Device
Though many appreciate the open source nature of Android, that also makes your
Manage applications running on your Android device
Majority of Android devices come with an integrated task manager that demonstrates all running apps running in the background and allows you to delete them from memory. Though it would be easier for you to pull them up quicker when you need them, but too many apps may also make your device slow down.
Protect against malware and bad apps
If you keep downloading lots of apps from unidentified sources (other than Google's play store), the chances of your phone being infected with malware increase manifolds. In case, you need to download apps from unidentified sources, it is better you invest in an anti-virus app as well. Some of the best anti virus apps, which are available free include Avast, AVG, Lookout, Norton, Zoner, but avoid installing more than one of these apps at a time.
Manage your RAM
One of the key reasons for poor performance of your device could be limited available RAM. This is normally the case with devices having 512MB and also to a great extent with 1GB of total RAM. The amount of free RAM on your device governs the performance of your Android device. This problem can be resolved by getting a free app called Clean Master by KS Mobile. This app has a task killer (to provide RAM) as well as delete history (web browser data & history), clean the cache, properly uninstall apps and get rid off left over files (remains of formerly deleted apps) to get some free space on the device memory.
Get your settings straight
Look at your device's settings properly. Does it show you signed in to any accounts that are not used by you? Delete all such accounts. Meanwhile, you can also check for sync intervals (i.e. how frequently these accounts check for updates).
Also check whether other additional functions such as Bluetooth, NFC and wi-fi are on even when you don't need them? It might happen that such devices keep looking for a connection and reduce the speed and performance of other services. In case, you are using a third-party launcher, you can set it as the default.
Restore to original factory settings
Even after performing the steps listed above, if your phone or tablet still keeps freezing or takes ages to load a particular application, it may be time to go for a factory reset to restore original settings of your device— like the way it was when you first got it. Fortunately, every Android device comes with an in-built factory reset option. It is pretty easy to initialise the factory reset. It is in fact a one-step process. You just need to go to settings and 'privacy' or 'backup & reset'. However, doing a factory reset removes everything on the device including all installed apps, contacts, calendar entries, photos, texts, videos. So it is a wise option to use an app called inDefend and take a backup of all your contacts and other data before you reset your phone.
Regularly clean messages and gallery
It is important to clean your phone for thousands of texts, photos, videos stored on it. Take a backup of all needed data and remove the unwanted stuff. As these apps would not have to cache as much data, they'll load much faster after the clean up process.
Move data to external memory card
Even if your device has 16GB storage space, some of this space is taken up by the operating system and other necessary apps. It is important to keep at least 2GB of storage space free. So, move all non-essential information and apps to the external memory card by using the file manager and a free app called App2SD.
Nova Launcher
Almost every phone manufacturer tends to use heavy interfaces with animations and features that you may never use. You can download Nova Launcher from the app store and give your device an instant speed boost.
Switch off animated wallpapers
Avoid using a live wallpaper on your device as it makes use of a lot of processing power, which otherwise can be used for making apps load up faster and making the interface smoother. Switch off your animated wallpaper and you can have a better battery life. Blog credit
