Know Your Device

It is always better to know what your phone is capable of and use it accordingly. Do not load your phone with too many apps that would be demean the performance of your device. So learn what your phone can handle and use it in such a way.

Always Update Your Device

Google introduces new updates to improve the performance of Android devices. The new release of Android operating system would include updates that would safeguard the stability, increase the performance speed, also the connectivity and so much more. So always keep your phone updated with the latest firmware.


Remove Unwanted Apps

We would all have plenty of apps installed in our smartphones and most of the time we wouldn’t even be using some of them, but those apps will still remain there. Know that every apps we install take an amount of the storage space and would run some background processes which would also add to the data storage. The more your phone storage space is filled, the slower the phone performance would get. The performance of your phone would also slow down when there are a lot of background processes running in your smartphone.


So check for the apps that you barely use and uninstall them. If you don’t want to uninstall any apps thinking that they would be needed for you in the future, then you can simply disable the app from the settings. Don’t get apps that you won’t be using, as they can literally turn out to be the reason for a slower performance of your phone.

Keep The Apps Updated

Just like how it is important to have your Android updated at all time, you should also consider of having all your apps updated. You can do this from the Google playstore. The app developers would release new updates when it is needed. Those updates can fix bugs, include new features, increase the performance and do so much more for a better and a faster performance, which will not allow the apps to crash the phone.


Use High Speed Memory Card

We all know that a memory card is the device that will help us add in extra storage space to a phone when it is running out of space but do you know that the memory cards will also increase the speed of your device along with the storage space? Like how a low internal memory can get a boost up from high capacity memory card for a maximum storage space, it will also provide 2GB to 32GB worth storage speed to support the high speed in the writing and reading operations. When you choose a memory card, make sure you get one which is class 6 or class 10 to get a better performance in your Android smartphone.


Have Less Widgets

Unlike the apps which would run only when we open it, widgets would be running in the background at all times, they will be active always. We would use the widgets for different need such as having a track on the weather, important dates and so on. There are also some who use the widgets like the ‘Extended Controls’ which would give a quick access to some essential configurations such as turning on and off the WiFi, Bluetooth or even the GPS. So all of these widgets would be working a full time and literally reduce the performance of the phone in some way. It is better to have very less widgets than too much.


Avoid Having Live Wallpapers

As Android gives the opportunity to make out phones look better, we do install too many new things and have new features added in our phones. One such feature is having a live wallpaper, which would be moving at all time. When you upload a live wallpaper you should know that such wallpapers need more CPU cycle than the normal ones, so it would drain the battery life faster and lead to a low performance. Thereby it is always better to avoid using a live wallpaper and go for a normal one.

Turn Off Sync

We all would prefer to have our phone synchronize the data with the Google server to stay updated. But when we have the sync mode turned on all the time, it will do a refresh at every preset intervals which will lead to a slow or low performance of your phone. what happens here is, for example when the sync is on, you will get all the notifications quickly whenever you get a new mail or so, for this it would check your mail every 5 minutes for a new incoming mail, where the phone will be on working progress every time and give you a slow performance.


Thereby it is better to keep the sync off for un-required service or turn it on only when you want to transfer or upload anything to the Google server.

Turn Off The Animations

Animation mode can be activated in your phone even without you knowing it. If you are wondering what is animation, then let me tell you, if you find your phone screen fades in and out when you swipe the screen or switch from one task to another, then the screen animation is turned on. You can check if the animation is turned on by going to the ‘Settings’ > ‘Developer Options’ > ‘Window Animation Scale’ > ‘Animation Scale 10x’ and then select the window animation scale again to see the fade in effect in slow motion.


You can choose the animation off and then onwards the screen will snap to the position without any fading in and out process. In the same method you can also turn off the transitional animation scale if you wish. Because little by little when you use your phone heavily it will affect the performance of your device. So turn off the animations for a better use.

That’s it, now we saw a few procedures that can be followed to increase the performance of your Android smartphone and also we saw what are the things to avoid to do.
