Speed up your mobile

The­re are always “experts” on the net who give tips on how to increase the per­for­mance of a smart­phone. Unfort­u­na­te­ly, the­se experts for­get that the ope­ra­ting sys­tems often opti­mi­ze them­sel­ves much bet­ter than if you do it by hand. This is espe­ci­al­ly the case for smart­phone ope­ra­ting sys­tems.

On the con­tra­ry, tips can make the per­for­mance of a smart­phone worse. For exam­p­le, the­re is a list of tips to speed up a mobi­le pho­ne:

1. Dele­te or swap data in mobi­le pho­ne memo­ry regu­lar­ly
2. Clo­se use­l­ess pro­grams in the back­ground
3. Unin­stall or hide unneces­sa­ry apps
4. Use Clea­ner Apps
5. Reset Smart­phone com­ple­te­ly

Now the true con­se­quen­ces of this “opti­miza­ti­on”:

1. Don’t touch the cell pho­ne memo­ry! This is very well mana­ged by the ope­ra­ting sys­tems them­sel­ves. Under iOS alre­a­dy for a long time, Android cat­ches up here cle­ar­ly. Tem­po­ra­ry files should also not be dele­ted, unless you want to free up sto­rage space.
2. It is best not to clo­se the appli­ca­ti­ons in the back­ground. If the apps in the back­ground no lon­ger have any­thing to do, the ope­ra­ting sys­tem will put them into a sleep sta­te that does not affect the per­for­mance of the pho­ne. Dele­ting the apps in the back­ground will drain the bat­tery of the smart­phone, as the (re)start of an app is more ener­gy-inten­si­ve.
3. Of cour­se you can dele­te apps you don’t need any­mo­re any time. But this has no influence on the speed of the mobi­le pho­ne.
4. Clea­ner apps are virus infec­ted and data coll­ec­tors and should not be used under any cir­cum­s­tances. Not for any ope­ra­ting sys­tem. Also not for desk­top com­pu­ters.
5. A com­ple­te reset of a mobi­le pho­ne allows you to recon­fi­gu­re it becau­se it has been reset to fac­to­ry set­tings. I think the tips­ter wan­ted to pro­mo­te a “hard reset”. This means a forced restart. If you are loo­king for “Hard Reset” tog­e­ther with your mobi­le pho­ne model, you will sure­ly find ins­truc­tions on how to do this with your mobi­le pho­ne.

Conclusion

In many cases it is bet­ter not to try to increase the speed of your mobi­le pho­ne with any tricks or addi­tio­nal apps. The­se pro­grams can’t chan­ge the hard­ware.

Only a hard reset can help if an app has stuck up or you have the impres­si­on that the pho­ne is not run­ning smooth­ly. Some­ti­mes it also helps (no joke) to sim­ply con­nect the pho­ne to the power sup­p­ly and not switch it on for approx. 30 minu­tes. Then the­re are a lot of back­ground opti­miza­ti­ons that the user usual­ly does­n’t noti­ce.
