Android phone in a bit of a lull? Before you give it a kick and toss, a small change here and some optimization over there can dramatically improve the speed, performance, and efficiency of your smartphone.
I do this on my LG K41S every few months and they really do help, but only to a point. Eventually, you'll need to upgrade an old phone to get better performance, but following these tips should delay that moment as long as possible.
To prolong the life of your phone, it's essential to install recommended updates as they arrive. When I do this, I'm always surprised by the Android updates I've missed. I sometimes have five to ten apps that are outdated and require an update. Updates will keep your phone and its apps in peak performance, maintaining their stability and security as well.
To do this on an LG or Samsung smartphone, go to your Settings and select "System." Go to "Update Center" to find two options: "App Updates" and "Software Update." It doesn't matter the order you do them, but you will want to install all updates from both.
If you have a Google Pixel, the process will be similar. Open up your Settings app. Tap "Security & Privacy." Navigate to "System & Updates." Tap on both "Security Update" and "Google Play System Update." Follow the relevant steps on screen to fully update your device.
Do you still have downloaded files saved on your Android phone from years ago? If you've filled up your phone with so many files that you've nearly fully tapped out the storage space, it's time to go through your downloads. Move them off your phone or delete them.
Up until a year ago, I had never really kept track of what was in my Downloads folder. When I first did this trick, I removed all sorts of documents, memes, photos, music, and more from my smartphone.
To do this, go into Files or My Files and open the "Downloads" folder. It can be time-consuming going through every file, but worth it. Removing unnecessary downloads clears out a ton of bloat. This isn't going to work a miracle and instantly speed up your smartphone but it does help and you will feel a ton better about how organized your phone will be.
Delete any old, outdated apps you don't use anymore. This will free up a ton of storage space and help further your goal of another year of life from your Android phone (we're slowly getting there!).
Go to Settings and then "Apps" to see a list of apps on your phone alongside the amount of space they take up. You may want to reorder your list based on size to get a sense of what's taking up the most space. Uninstall the apps that no longer add to your overall phone experience.
Photos are what take up the most storage space on my smartphone. There are gigabytes of images and many of them are ones I'll never look at again. Whenever I clear out these photos, the random memes I've collected and the photos that have autosaved from different sources, I find my phone performance always gets a little better.
If your phone is anything like mine and you're on the verge of maxing out your storage, do not skip this step.
To export photos from your Android device, you can use a USB cable to connect your device to a laptop or computer. If you're using a Windows PC, open File Explorer. If you're using a Mac, open Finder. Next, navigate to your Android device. As you click open its folders, you will see "DCIM." Click on it and open the "Camera" folder. Drag and drop the images from your phone to your computer for safe-keeping. Once completed, you can delete them from your phone.
An easier way–arguably–is to move these images to Google Photos or a cloud storage service, which will keep them accessible on your device. The disadvantage to using a cloud storage service, such as Google Photos, is that it may not store the original photo. They are often compressed to save on storage space which means if you want high-res images, you may be best served by storing them on your own hard drive.
Kebanyakan apl mudah alih berada dalam keadaan digantung apabila tidak digunakan. Mereka yang mempunyai aktiviti latar belakang yang didayakan, bagaimanapun, masih akan menggunakan bateri dan kuasa pemprosesan anda di latar belakang. Sesetengah pengguna telefon pintar mempunyai sebanyak 10–15 aplikasi yang aktif di latar belakang tanpa disedari. Ini boleh memberi kesan yang ketara pada hayat bateri dan prestasi telefon anda.
Untuk melumpuhkan aktiviti latar belakang, pergi ke Tetapan > Apl. Ketik pada setiap apl satu demi satu, dan pilih "Penggunaan Bateri Apl" kemudian pilih "Dioptimumkan" atau "Terhad." Dioptimumkan akan membenarkan Android memutuskan masa untuk membenarkan apl itu berjalan di latar belakang, manakala Terhad bermakna ia tidak pernah berjalan di latar belakang.
Bukan sahaja telefon Android anda mempunyai RAM, tetapi anda sebenarnya boleh mengoptimumkannya dengan beberapa pelarasan mudah:
Pengoptimuman RAM telefon Android membantu mengelak daripada mengalihkan tenaga kepada fungsi yang tidak penting pada peranti anda. Ini memang menjadikan telefon pintar saya kurang menyeronokkan tetapi ia membantu meneruskan matlamat utama saya iaitu untuk memberikan prestasi yang lebih baik.
Membersihkan cache ialah satu lagi cara pintar untuk mengoptimumkan telefon pintar anda kerana ia mengalih keluar banyak data yang mungkin tidak anda perlukan. Kali pertama anda memuat semula apl atau tapak web tertentu mungkin menjadi lebih perlahan selepas melakukan ini, tetapi telefon anda secara keseluruhan sepatutnya lebih pantas selepas itu.
Pergi ke Tetapan anda sekali lagi dan pergi ke "Apl." Ketik setiap apl dan pergi melalui pilihan untuk mengosongkan cache. Walaupun ini mengambil masa, saya sering mengosongkan satu atau dua gigabait tambahan ruang pada akhirnya.
Ya, ya, saya tahu. Ini secara teknikalnya bukanlah pengoptimuman semata-mata, tetapi jika anda benar-benar mahu melihat peranti anda pada tahap terbaik dan pelarasan lain ini tidak cukup dilakukan, cuba tetapan semula kilang. Ini adalah pilihan terakhir tetapi ia mungkin satu cara untuk mendapatkan lebih sedikit masa dengan telefon pintar anda yang sedia ada sebelum anda ingin menaik taraf.
Saya hanya melakukan ini sekali sebelum ini apabila telefon pintar saya hampir tidak berfungsi. Saya gugup, tetapi tetapan semula kilang adalah seperti membalikkan suis ajaib. Ia benar-benar menghidupkan semula telefon saya. Yang berkata, jangan buat kesilapan yang saya lakukan. Sandarkan peranti anda untuk menyimpan foto, kenalan dan teks anda. Apabila saya melakukan tetapan semula kilang, saya kekok tidak melakukannya dan ia adalah mimpi ngeri cuba mendapatkan semula semuanya.
Mengoptimumkan telefon Android anda akan membantu mempercepatkannya, tetapi keuntungan tersebut tidak akan kekal selama-lamanya. Saya mengulangi proses ini setiap tiga atau lebih. Walau bagaimanapun, anda mungkin boleh menunggu lebih lama jika anda bernasib baik. Setiap kali saya melakukannya, saya melihat yang berbeza, tetapi akhirnya saya tahu petua ini tidak akan mencukupi.
Pengoptimuman Android bukanlah penawar kekal untuk telefon yang semakin tua. Apabila perkakasan terlalu lama, satu-satunya perkara yang akan membantu ialah membeli pengganti yang lebih baharu. Tetapi petua ini akan membantu anda menghalang pembelian itu selama mungkin.
