10 Tricks to Speed up Your Android Device

When you purchase a fancy, new, highly complex Android phone that can do everything from checking your email to surfing the web. It's shiny and running fast while doing all the things we wanted it to do but after a year the phone shinning tends to wearing off and things aren't as zippy as they used to be. Apps takes longer to open and run. Transitions between screens take longer to redraw that we would like. The device working slow and little frustrating to use. 

Don't worry, there are various ways to speed up that Android performance and a few things you can do to make it feel faster.

Trick #1 : Disable Live Wallpaper

You should disable all the live wallpaper to get superior performance. If you choose to use live wallpaper then replace it with a good static image because it will need more CPU cycles to run, thus draining the battery faster. To change the live wallpaper, long press on the home screen and select the stable wallpaper.

Trick #2 : Clean Up your Home Screen

You should also clean away any unused icon and limit your widgets to the essentials. The less cluttered your home screen is, the better in terms of performance. Reducing the number of widgets, especially data-intensive once like Facebook, it will help your smartphone or tablet run more smoothly and last longer. 

Trick #3 : Turn off or Reduce Animations

You can make your Android device feel snappier by reducing or turning off animations. You'll need to enable Developer options in order to do this. Go to Settings > About Phone, scroll down to Build number and tap it 7 times. You will now have access to developer options and now go back to previous menu, to see Developer options listed under System. Head in there and scroll down to find Window animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animator duration scale. Tap each in turn and set it to .5x or off. 

Scroll down and find "Do not keep activities" to block all apps which running in the background. You can also limit background processes by tapping "Limit background Process" and click on at most 4 processes. 

Trick #4 : Uninstall or Disable unused Apps

If you don't want to allow apps that you never use to take up space on your device and potentially eat into system resources. Go to Settings > Apps and swipe over to the All tab. Take a good long look down the list and identify the apps you don't want or need. Tap on any app you don't want and then choose Uninstall or if the option is not there to uninstall, tap Disable.

Note : Disabled apps will be listed in a new tab, so you can always enable them again in future if you change your mind.

Trick #5 : Clear Cached App Data

Cached data for apps should help them to load more quickly, but it can build up over time to take up quite a lot of space and there will potentially be cached data in there for apps that you no longer use. Sometimes clearing cached data for an app can also help to clear up flaky behavior. If you want to pick individual apps then go to Settings > Apps and slide over the All tab and tap on the relevant app then choose Clear Cache. 

Note : To clear all Cached data, go to Settings > Storage and tap on Cached data and tap OK. 

Trick #6 : Use Apps to Free Up the RAM

There are Android Apps such as Clean Master, The Cleaner, DU Speed Booster and CCleaner, for virtually everything you need, so you can use one that lets you analyses your device's memory and free up space with little effort. 

Trick #7 : Turn off Auto Sync

Most people end up adding a list of different accounts to Android devices and allow them to automatically sync in the background to pull in new data and provide us with updates. All these syncing has a big impact on performance, not to mention battery life. Go to Settings and find Auto-sync under Accounts to turn it off. 

Trick #8 : Try a Third Party Launcher

If you want to change the feel of navigation around and tweak some settings to make it feel speedier, then you might find a third party launcher does the trick. Try out something like Nova Launcher, Go Launder EX, Google now or Apex Launcher. Experiment with the settings and you should find that your device feels a lot faster. 

Trick #9 : Make Sure You are Up to Date

The latest software will often contain bug fixes and general improvements and it can help your Android device to run better. Go to Settings > About device > Software update and check for updates.

Trick #10 : Reboot

This may sound really lame but trust me this actually works. It's going to flush your cache and memory, you should try it out once a week, there is no harm in trying it out.

Monitor Performance and Resources

Task Manager has several tools for effectively monitoring the performance of your system and how your resources are being used. Try these under the Performance tab

• Resource Monitor: Click on Open Resource Monitor at the bottom of the window to launch the Resource Monitor, which is an advanced way to view real-time data about your system: threads used, disk response times, exact breakdowns of RAM used by processes, etc.

• Overview Modes: Right-click anywhere in the left sidebar and select Hide Graphs to hide the graphs and Summary View to display nothing but the sidebar. The other way works too: right-click anywhere in the right panel and select Graph Summary View to display nothing but the current graph.

• Diagnostic Info: With any resource type selected (e.g. CPU, Memory, Disk, etc), you can right-click anywhere and select Copy to load a diagnostic snapshot into your clipboard. Paste it anywhere — like in Notepad, in an email, or in a forum post — as it could help with troubleshooting.

• Network Details: With Network selected, right-click in the right panel and select View Network Details to get a real-time breakdown of things like network utilization, link speed, bytes sent and received, etc.

Other Useful Details: Each resource type has some interesting details that might come in handy, such as System Up-time under CPU, RAM Slots Used under Memory, and Read/Write Speeds under Disk.
