These Android Settings Are Slowing Your Phone Down
1 min read
Summary
While most modern Android phones are quite capable, they don’t always live up to their potential in terms of performance due to certain settings or features.
The Adaptive Battery feature is designed to extend your phone’s battery life, but it can also cause apps to load more slowly and delay notifications
Similarly, having RAM Plus or RAM Booster enabled on a device with 8 GB of RAM or more may cause more problems than it solves.
It is possible to switch processing speed on most Android phones, with Samsung phones typically set to “Optimized,” which strikes a balance between performance, battery efficiency, and heat management.
However, this setting may not be optimal when running intensive apps or games.
Background activity of apps can also be a problem, as having too many apps active at once can put strain on your phone’s resources.
Reducing animation scale, disabling auto-sync for accounts, and restricting background processes can all help to improve performance.
