The smartphone is once again traveling at a snail's pace.
Too many open apps can be to blame.
If you now tidy up your cell phone properly, you will gain significantly in speed.
Munich - Every now and then you would like to throw your smartphone in the garbage.
It lags, the battery is weak – not even a short message can be sent quickly via a messenger.
The only thing that still works: the device rings.
However, no one answered the other end of the line.
Yes, one would like to roar with anger.
But as is well known, this is of little or no use if the technology is not running smoothly.
A few simple steps can quickly improve the performance of the mobile phone again.
According to the online portal of
Focus
apps from Facebook in particular cause an enormous loss of speed on many cell phones.
It is therefore best to weed out some of these apps – such as WhatsApp or Instagram.
Also, many of the applications stored on the device are all running in the background at the same time, thus throttling the speed of the mobile device.
The smartest way is for the user to quickly get an overview of the running applications in their smartphone's settings and then complete each process individually on the device.
Real memory guzzlers can also be found in the process.
It is therefore advisable to regularly clear out superfluous apps and “only keep the copies that are really used a lot”, is a tip from
Inside-Digital.
However, pre-installed apps can usually not be removed from a slow smartphone.
It can only be set to "factory reset".
Lots of apps make phones slower.
Users should weed out some of these every now and then.

The turbo for the smartphone - often it helps to tidy up, empty the cache and switch off automatic synchronization
Content stored on the cell phone such as photos, files, videos or documents also reduce the speed.
The only thing that helps is tidying up – such as deleting, moving and copying important data to other devices.
Now quickly empty the cache of the entire temporary memory in the menu item "Memory" and the mobile phone will run faster again.

What to do if the phone doesn't ring?
Check whether the network is available |
restart phone |
Deactivate activated call forwarding |
Ensure that the forwarding to the mailbox is working correctly |
Try if the phone works with a different SIM card |
None of this helped? Press and hold the power home button and the volume up button at the same time until you are in recovery mode. Use the volume up and down button to navigate to the "Wipe Cache Partition" item and confirm this with the power button. After that, restart your device. |
If that's still not fast enough for you, you should ban a few widgets from the display and do without live backgrounds or animations.
It is also important that the device is always up to date.
Because the manufacturers attach great importance to troubleshooting and bugs, which usually improves the performance of the device.
In addition, switching off the "automatic synchronization" option not only improves the battery performance of the mobile phone, but also the speed of the mobile device in no time at all.
The supposed outburst of anger would not have been of much use to the user.
In the event of problems with the technology, the user must always remain confident.
