What can I do to make Android run faster? My Android is slow or how to get my phone back to speed How Android works.

When a phone or tablet starts to slow down—applications launch more slowly, delays appear when flipping through screens or when switching between items in a menu—it becomes annoying and even annoying. And if this happens at a time when you need everything at once, then you want to smash the phone against the wall.

Degraded performance is a problem that we encounter not only on phones. After prolonged use, both personal computers and laptops begin to slow down; this is a normal phenomenon. The good news is that Android speed can be restored.

Remember the moment when you just bought your Android smartphone. Was it also slow and glitchy when performing simple actions? If not, then we will try to return the former performance to your phone or tablet.

Cleaning Android from unnecessary applications

So, the first step you need to take is to review all your applications. Each installed application takes up space on the system and therefore negatively affects its performance. Feel free to delete application if you don’t remember the last time you used it! After all, re-installing the application, if necessary, will only take a few minutes, and deleting unnecessary applications will speed up your Android device and possibly save your nervous system :)

Cleaning your smartphone or tablet from debris

The second step to cleaning your Android smartphone or tablet is to clear the device of debris.

Photo and video

Go to the gallery and view media files, delete unnecessary photos and video files. In the gallery, before deleting, you can review all files so as not to accidentally delete what is really necessary.

Downloads

Go to downloads, usually there is also a whole bunch of unnecessary garbage that makes Android slow down. Review the files in your downloads and remove what is not needed.

Cache

Go to settings and select the “memory” section. Here we are interested in the “Cache” or “cached data” item. Cache is information from various applications preloaded into the device's memory - for example, gallery thumbnails, screensavers, application media files. This data in large volume can also slow down the device. Therefore, feel free to click on this line and confirm clearing the cache.

In the “Memory” section there is also an item “Other” or “Miscellaneous”, you should be careful when cleaning it, you can go into it, but if you are not sure whether to delete any of its items, then it is better to leave everything as is.

Cleaning the memory card of an Android device

Let's move on - a memory card. During active long-term use, a lot of unnecessary files also accumulate on the memory card. The system takes longer to scan them, which slows down your Android phone or tablet.

It is better to clean the memory card with a backup copy of the data. To do this, if your computer or laptop has a card reader, then turn off the Android device, then remove the memory card and insert it into the computer. We create a folder on the computer disk and copy all the contents of the microSD card of our Android device into it. After copying, check whether everything was really copied; this can be done by comparing the size of the information on the SD card with the folder that contains the copy.

Next, insert the memory card into the Android device and turn it on. The following steps will lead to to completely delete all data from the memory card. Go to settings, memory item, look for the line “Clear memory card” or “Clear SD card” and start cleaning.

What is Hard Reset

None of the above helped? Well, there is still the most radical, but at the same time the most effective remedy. You may have heard its names such as wipe, hard reset, full reset Android, general reset Android, return to factory settings Android. All these names reflect the essence of this solution - a complete reset and return Android to the state when the phone was turned on for the first time. All data that was on your Android phone or tablet will be irretrievably destroyed!

How to do a Hard Reset (read carefully)

As a result of an Android hard reset, all photos, videos, applications, accounts, contacts will be deleted, so Before executing it, make a copy of the necessary data!

So, if Android has gotten so bad that a full reset is the only way out, then do the following: Go to settings, go to recovery and reset, select “master reset” or “factory settings”, scroll down the screen, check the box “ Clean internal storage" and click the "Reset phone settings" button.

The process has begun, we do nothing until it is completed!!! After the reset, the phone will turn on and the initial setup will begin - choosing a language, etc.

Should I change my phone?

If even after a complete reset the Android phone slows down, then perhaps it is simply outdated and no longer meets your requirements, it’s time to change it! 🙂

There are special applications to evaluate the performance of the phone, for example. Install and run this application and test your Android device; if your faithful friend scores less than 6000-7000 points in the test, then you should seriously think about a new device.

When choosing a new device, it is desirable that it scores at least 15,000-20,000 points in Antutu; this is the minimum required for comfortable work and launching most games. But that's a completely different story.

I hope these tips will help speed up your Android and save your readers’ nervous system :)

P.S. By the way, while writing this post, the Acer Extenza 5235 laptop almost suffered due to tomoses 👿

We are sure that each of those who are now reading this article has at least once in their life had their phone treacherously discharged at the most inopportune moment. As a result: “the subscriber is out of the access zone,” you can’t listen to music, you can’t find your way through 2GIS.

Why is this happening?

We charge gadgets incorrectly, batteries lose their capacity, and therefore after a year or two they “die” much faster than they did at the beginning of use.

How to prevent your phone from running out of battery?

1. Charge your device regularly.

Your main task is to prevent your phone from being completely discharged to 0%. Maintain the charge level at 40-80%, following the scheme: the charge dropped by 10-20%, recharged. Don't let your phones go hungry for too long. Just like a person, the phone must be “powered” at least three to five times a day. This is due to the fact that the battery life directly depends on the depth of discharge (0% charge is the maximum depth of discharge, 99% is the minimum).

2. Don't leave your phone charging overnight.

Lithium-ion batteries do not require a 100% charge. For them, as we wrote earlier, 40-80% is enough. If you have charged your phone to 100%, unplug it from the outlet. Most users charge their phone at night, and it is because of this that the battery quickly becomes unusable.

3. Once a month, completely discharge your phone to 0%.

This statement may not fit with what was said earlier, but it is true. The phone needs to be calibrated once a month. Surely, you have noticed: the phone shows 30% charge level, and after 5 minutes the level drops sharply and the phone turns off. This is due to numerous small recharges, due to which the charge level indicator gets lost. This phenomenon is typical for mechanical watches that begin to rush or lag. Calibration returns accuracy to the smartphone indicator.

4. Store the device in a cool place.

High and extremely low temperatures negatively affect the life of your phone's battery. The ideal temperature for a smartphone is between 0 and 15 degrees Celsius.

5. Portable battery. Power Bank.

If you can't constantly charge your phone because there aren't any outlets within range, consider purchasing an extra Power Bank. The device will “feed” your smartphone at any time. Considering that modern smartphones have a habit of quickly running out of charge, this device becomes one of the necessary attributes of any business person.

In order to make a phone inaccessible to a particular subscriber, it is not necessary to contact the services of an operator. Most modern phones support the Black List function.

Posting sponsor P&G Articles on the topic “How to make a phone inaccessible” How to block a subscriber on a phone How to prevent a phone number from being identified How to blacklist a subscriber

Instructions

Open your phone's menu and go to call settings. Find the “black list” function in it and in the context menu select adding a new contact from the phone book, from the call log, or simply enter the number of the subscriber whose calls you want to ignore in the future. Save the changes, if necessary, enter the phone code to confirm. This function can also be found in the phone settings, in the control panel, in the phone book settings - everything here completely depends on the features of the model. If you have a smartphone and you cannot find the “Black List” function in your phone, or if it is simply missing in your model, download a special application that will completely replace it. Please note that it must fully match the screen resolution of your smartphone and the version of the operating system installed on it. Before installing applications that will set up your calls, first read reviews from other users, since it is quite possible that this is a malicious program that will send calls from your phone to other phones or send messages to short numbers. If you have a regular phone that does not have the ability to add callers to a blacklist, contact your operator to have them block calls from certain numbers to yours. However, if you want to allow the subscriber of this number to make calls to your phone, you will again have to contact the operator. This is not entirely convenient, since you often have to wait a long time for an answer. The only other option here is to turn off the phone and wait until they stop calling you or put the phone in silent mode, especially since many mobile devices allow you to configure call parameters individually for each contact in the phone book. How simple

Is there any benefit to surveillance?

By tracking the location of a cellular subscriber, state security agencies can quickly find a wanted criminal.

Also, using a mobile phone signal, doctors or rescuers can find the victim. This is why it is important for cellular operators to use technologies that provide sufficiently high accuracy in determining the subscriber’s location.

The ability to track also allows relatives to receive information about the whereabouts of a child or elderly relative at any time. Many operators have this service in their tariff plan.

How to find out where a mobile phone subscriber is?

Cellular operators whose services the subscriber uses provide geolocation services, but, as a rule, the other subscriber must agree that information about his location will be provided to someone else. Here are some of the services provided.

"Smeshariki" (Megafon)

The “Smeshariki” tariff plan from Megafon provides the “Beacon” service. It is designed for children so that parents can always obtain information about the whereabouts of their child. The location is done by calculating the distance of the mobile phone to the antenna tower. The calculation accuracy ranges from several hundred meters to several tens of kilometers. However, there are limitations to location searches. It is allowed to search for no more than 5 mobile devices and with the consent of the subscriber.

"Mobile employees" (MTS)

The Mobile Employees service from MTS allows you to determine the location of company employees and vehicles. You can determine the location on a detailed electronic map (more than 300 cities of the Russian Federation), control the location of employees inside or outside the specified geographic zone and receive messages about violations of zone control conditions, take into account the working hours of employees working outside the office.

“Child under supervision” (MTS)

The “Child under supervision” service allows parents to see the location of their child’s phone on the screen of a smartphone or tablet. The mobile application “Where are the children” is available for installation on smartphones and tablets based on Android 2.3 OS. The location function works even if the child has the most basic mobile phone.

How is subscriber tracking done?

Information is collected in several ways: when a cell phone establishes a connection with an operator’s tower, when using Wi-Fi wireless Internet networks. Antenna towers analyze the signal sent by the mobile phone and then calculate which towers are closer to the mobile phone. The location of the mobile phone is estimated by comparing the signals sent by the mobile phone to the antenna tower.

Each base station broadcasts information about neighboring stations, indicating the frequencies on which they operate. The phone constantly measures the signal strength from each of the base stations and, if necessary, selects the one from which a clear signal comes. Having the coordinates of the six base stations closest to the phone, you can accurately calculate the coordinates of the phone without any GPS. If there is no data on the location of base stations, then it will not be possible to calculate the location of the phone.

Also, with the advent of the global positioning system (GPS), it became possible to determine the location of a person using satellites. Some mobile phones have built-in GPS navigators. The network includes a number of satellites that send signals for analysis to determine the location of the mobile phone. If the system receives signals from three or more satellites, then the location is calculated quite accurately.

Is subscriber tracking legal?

The Constitution protects the right of citizens to privacy, but at the request of intelligence services, a cellular operator may provide information about the location of a subscriber for the purpose of conducting investigative measures.

Internet scam

Recently, many Internet users have come across a service for locating a person using his mobile phone number. The subscriber is asked to send an SMS message with a set of certain numbers to a specified number and receive an access code to the service for 10 rubles. If such an offer comes not from a cellular operator, but from third parties, then this is nothing more than fraud, warn the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The memory on smartphones is not rubbery, despite the huge amount of information that many of us store on them. That is why some manufacturers to this day do not refuse the possibility of expanding the built-in memory using MicroSD cards.

Current flagships support cards with a capacity of up to two terabytes, which greatly increases the internal reserves of smartphones. However, this does not solve another problem - all applications are automatically installed in the internal memory, and its quantity cannot be expanded. In this regard, we decided to write an article on how to make sure that everything is saved to a memory card. It offers several methods for owners of different devices - from budget models with 4-8 GB built-in to flagships on the latest versions of the Android operating system.

We save applications to a memory card using standard means

In most modern smartphones, the procedure for transferring applications (games and programs) can be carried out using several taps. Unfortunately, there is no way to activate their automatic installation on MicroSD. Therefore, we will have to be content with manual transfer. So, for this you must follow these steps:

Go to the “Settings” menu;
We find the “Applications” item there. In some sections it may be referred to as "Application Manager";
We select the application we need there. In our case, the game “CSR Racing”;
The information in the window is updated. Now you need to tap on the “Move to SD card” button;
After a few seconds, the text on the button will change to “Transfer to device,” which tells us that the application has been successfully transferred and internal memory has been freed up.

Didn't find the "Move to SD card" button? This is not a reason to worry, then you will just have to use a third-party transfer application.

Using Clean Master to transfer data to a memory card

As noted above, this method is analogous to the previous option of transferring to an SD card. We invite you to immediately begin reviewing the instructions:

Ready! The memory on the device itself is freed. By the way, if you compare the two methods already presented, we recommend choosing the second one - using the Clean Master application. This way you will spend significantly less time due to the fact that you can select several games and programs at once.

Connecting the memory card with internal memory

In Android 6.0+, a way to expand memory using an SD card became available. However, we would like to warn you right away that it only works on some devices - not all manufacturers have implemented this function in their shell. So let's get started:

It is also worth noting that not all SD cards are suitable for this type of operation. It is important that the external memory card belongs to class 10 and corresponds to the declared speeds of reading and writing data.

Swap internal Android memory with a memory card (Root required)

Another well-known method, most used on devices with a small amount of built-in memory, is replacing the internal memory with an SD card. You should already be rooted and have the Root Explorer application installed. You must follow these steps:

Ready! From now on, everything you download will be automatically installed on the SD card. As you can see, there are quite a large number of ways to make sure that everything is saved to a memory card; you need to choose only one of them, depending on what version of the OS you have installed, what exactly you want to get and whether the device has Root.

The telephone is a modern means of communication, which no one can do without today. Since this is the age of high technology, mobile phones have become accessible to almost every person.

However, many craftsmen will want to give their relatives or friends a gift - a phone they assembled with their own hands. This does not mean that you have to study circuit diagrams, buy parts and housing, solder boards, and so on.

You can make a souvenir for someone as a gift or a toy for a child.

Now we will tell you how to make a phone with your own hands.

Real working phone without electronic parts

To do this, you will need a thread and a couple of empty tin cans (ideally tall, for example, from olives).

If you don't have them available, then use plastic cups. By the way, they are easier to process than metal cans.

It is better not to use polystyrene cups for our purpose because they are soft and porous. As a result, they absorb more sound than transmit it.
In extreme cases, paper glasses are also suitable.

In the middle of the bottom of each cup you need to make a small hole of such a size that the prepared thread can fit through it. Make a hole using an awl, thin drill, drill, nail or awl.

The main condition is that the thread barely fits through this hole. The tighter it goes, the better the sound will be.

Then thread the thread through the holes you made. If you have any difficulties, help the end of the thread fit into the hole using a needle, awl or thin nail.

Tie knots at both ends of the threads in the inner sides of the cups. Next, pull the thread, then the knot will rest against the bottom of the glass. If the knot falls out of the hole, tie a thread around a piece of the match.

Do the same procedure with the second glass.

Now you will need a partner to check the product.

You lean the glass with the open end to your ear, and your partner should talk into the other glass from the open end. Before doing this, you need to tighten the thread as much as possible. If you did everything correctly, then despite the distance, you will be able to hear what your partner is saying.

And when you say something into a cup, your partner will hear you too.

Habits that will make you happy

This craft is very easy to do, but with due care and effort it will bring your child a lot of joy. After all, he copies the actions of his parents, trying to imitate them in everything. And such a thing as a mobile phone is constantly in the baby’s field of vision. Are they calling you? Of course, you pick up the phone and talk. It will be interesting for the child to do the same, using not even a real phone.

Making this phone with your own hands is not at all difficult. To do this, you just need to cut out a rectangle from thick cardboard and trim its corners. Then make markings as shown in the figure below, cut along the contours, fold and glue.

You paint, draw buttons, screen and other elements to give the phone authenticity. Just keep in mind that the paint should not spread when touched, otherwise it is dangerous for the child.

You will need

One of the screen templates to your liking (you can download it here http://promyhouse.ru/sites/default/files/images/rukodelie/ekran-telefona.pdf)
Corrugated cardboard.
White electrical tape.
Black electrical tape.
Transparent wide tape.
Glue.
Scissors.

What should be done?

From corrugated cardboard, cut out three rectangular shapes measuring 7.5x13.8 centimeters. Using these dimensions, you will end up with the exact size of the iPhone 4. Now round the corners of the blanks.

Glue all three blanks together, so you get the body of the gadget.

Cover both flat sides of the resulting workpiece with white electrical tape.

Carefully cut off the remaining tape that protrudes beyond the edges of the craft.

Now seal the ends of the workpiece with black electrical tape.

Print the downloaded screen (any screen you like) on a color printer. Then you cut it along the contour.

Glue the cut out screen onto the body and draw a button underneath it.

Finally, apply transparent tape to the entire front panel so that the design does not blur during use.

Remember what the first mobile phones were? Very bulky and uncomfortable.

By the way, they already existed during the Soviet Union, but few people know about it. They were used by the big bosses of the party apparatus. Moreover, the battery was so large that it was placed in the trunk of a company car.

But let’s return to the first telephones, which became available, if not to ordinary people, then at least to the rich in the eighties.

To make this rarity you will need the following items:

Corrugated cardboard.
Hot melt adhesive.
Pencil.
Scissors.
Toothpick.

Cut out phone elements from cardboard. These will be two elements for the sides, one for the keyboard and one for the back of the case.

For the back of the body, cut out an even strip that will be slightly larger than the width and height of the side blanks.

Now hold one of the side blanks in your hand and apply glue to its edge and glue the cardboard strip along the entire edge. Then glue the other side of the tube at a distance that is equal to the width of your workpiece.

Wait for the glue to dry. Then you cut off the excess cardboard pieces from the sides of the phone and make a hole at the end so that you can place a toothpick there. It will serve as your antenna.

Now wrap the toothpick halfway, using tape, and glue a bead at the end, after which you insert it into the opposite end into the hole made in the phone. Fix the stability with glue from the inside.

Insert cardboard rectangles into the resulting base to make the product stronger. Now secure the edges of the workpiece from the front (speaker and microphone).

Now cut out a cardboard strip that will serve as a keyboard. Draw buttons on it and paste it onto the front of the mobile phone.

This is what ended up happening.

To do this, take a piece of corrugated cardboard and draw something like a figure, as shown in the example below. In these examples, dimensions are measured in inches, so keep in mind that one inch is the same as two and a half centimeters.

To make your own dial, you must use a round piece with sides. To avoid cutting it out, you can use any plastic lid from any type of product packaged in round plastic.

They can serve as plastic lids for processed cheese, sweets, fish, and so on.

Cover the lid using paper of the desired color. In this case, the product will look neat and beautiful.

Using a large drill, cut ten holes on the sides so that they resemble a dial for dialing numbers with your finger.

Using corrugated cardboard, cut out a circle with a diameter half the size of the dial and poke a hole in it right in the center.

Place a smaller circle on the workpiece so that the holes match. Using a long, thin screw, secure the workpiece to the base of the housing. Tip: insert a nut between the case and the dial so that the disc rotates effortlessly.

Enter the numbers into the holes.

At the top of the craft, insert two levers that will hold the tube, separate the ends of the wire from the inside and secure them with tape.

Now glue all the parts of the craft into one whole.

Place the base of the product on its side on a piece of corrugated cardboard and draw lines along the contour with a pencil to make two blanks. Now cut them out and glue them on both sides of the craft.

If you want to attach a cord, insert it into the base of the workpiece and secure it with tape.

For the tube, cut out two identical blanks in the form of a handle, as shown in the figure below. And also cut out two strips of cardboard so that you can glue the tube together.

Glue another part of the cord to its end.

This is what will happen in the end.

As you can see, making a phone with your own hands is not at all difficult!
