Why Android Phones Slow down over Time? Do you know the reason behind it? If not, don’t worry after reading our full article you will get info about this topic and additionally I will also provide you tips and tricks to boost your Android phone performance.
If you are Android user like me and had been using your Android device for a while, you have probably seen some lag on your android device that wasn’t before. I am sure that you’ve probably face Apps loading a bit slower, menus take some time to show up. This problem that you face are quite normal to Android, either try using some iPad or iOS and feel how slow it has become over period of time.
And solutions are slightly different for each type of platform like Android & iOS but now let’s talk about Android and how to solve it?
Android Software Updates and Heavier application require more resources:
One of the biggest reason, why your Android Phones slow down over Time is the frequent software and application updates. As your device doesn’t have the same software it had a year or two year ago. Sometimes your Android System Updates may not be well optimized for your device and may have leads it to laginess and freeziness. Or there may be some bloatware application is given in an update by the manufacturer which run in the background processing and slow the things down.
Even if you’re not installing the New system updates, but the application running on your devices are newer. As technology advances games and other application are optimized for the faster hardware and may be perform slow on your old Android device. This is the fact on every platform whether it’s: LINUX, WINDOWS or ANDROID.
As years ago by, websites have become heavier nowadays, desktop applications want more RAM and ROM and PC games demand higher specification CPU and graphics too. This is applicable on each and every Platform.
How to fix this:
-
You can’t do much but you can alleviate this. You can install “CUSTOM ROM” in case you find your operating system slow.
-
As custom ROM doesn’t have much bloatware applications and company slower skins like: COLOR OS, MIUI etc. And for applications you can switch to their liter version of applications which you’re already using.
Background running of applications:
Another main reason which leads to slowing down your Android Phone over Time is Background processing of applications. Probably you have a long list of applications that you’ve installed on your device, some of which open at startup and continue to run in the background processing. If you have installed so much of application that runs in the background processing, this will lead to more CPU consumption, fill up your whole RAM and slow down your phones.
And if you like the things: Live wallpapers, Widgets on your home screen. Then let me tell you that this takes up CPU and Memory card resource which results in slowing down your Phone. As you remove down the Widgets and live wallpaper and make your Home screen will look more simple. And then definitely you will see noticeable changes in performance.
How to fix this:
-
First thing to do is slim down your Home screen if you are using too much of widgets and Live wallpapers.
-
And second thing you can do is to uninstall or disable the unnecessary applications.
Full Storage on your Android device:
The full storage in your device leaves little window for your Android Software to run. And your Storage drives slow down as you starting fill them up. This leads to Android software and Applications run relatively slower. You can check your storage by clicking on storage screen in settings menu. It will show you how full is your device storage and what is using the storage.
Cache file also consume your storage space, so it’s important to clearing cache files and free up your storage and make your application and phone performs better.
How to fix this:
-
The Photos and videos are the biggest contributor in filling up your storage faster. So if you can store or backup them on cloud storage or at desktop then it would be a great choice.
-
Next thing on our list is to delete the unwanted files and the Applications. And the easiest way to do this, you just perform a factory data reset and only install the applications and files that you need up.
-
Third step is to clear cached data for all the applications. To do this open settings app=> tap storage=> scroll down and click on cached data=> and tap Ok.
Things Not to Do:
This article can’t be completed with this Headings. As precaution is always better than cure. You can also say this part as “don’t use task killers”. I don’t know why people are still have a thought that task killer are required in a smartphone to make it faster and better in terms of speed. I won’t take any cleaner application name. I just want to say that don’t use any kind of cleaner or task killer application. As they claim to kill the background processing tasks.
Instead of making your phone faster, this type of app cleaner makes your phone slower. Just follow this steps which is mentioned above to make your Android phone speedy.
And if your phone is still lagging then perform a factory reset and install the apps which is very important to you. A factory data reset won’t uninstall the bloatware apps with your phone but it can help with slow device performance.
