Unleash the Power of Your Android with This Hack!

Uninstall Unnecessary Apps:

When we buy a smartphone, several unnecessary apps come built-in from the manufacturers of that company. Which eats 50% of our Ram and Memory; these apps make our phones slow and lag.

The first step is to throw out these unnecessary junk apps and games by Uninstalling or disabling them from "Settings>apps manager".

To get full control of your Android, you can root your smartphone. But If you are a non-technical guy, you can easily uninstall these apps by Removing bloatware via ADB without Root.

Optimize App Usage And Background Processes:

When we open any type of application in our smartphone, it runs in the background memory and slows down the phone until you "force stops" it from "App Info" in the "Application Manager".

But don't worry. You don't have to worry about every app to force stop; it can be done by apps like Greenify, Hibernator, and Force stop(No root) etc. (don't opt for ram clearing apps like ram cleaner, phone booster, cache cleaner etc.)

Simply download Greenify, add useless apps in its restricted apps, and enjoy improved performance and extended ram.

Clutter Free Launchers:

If you are using a budget smartphone, you are surely facing a lot of junk apps and advertisements that annoy you so much. But you don't have to worry about them; You can also uninstall the built-in Launcher, which comes with a lot of junk, advertisement, apps and games.

Simply Uninstall via ADB, downloads a premium minimalist Launcher from the Google PlayStore, and enjoy more free features like improved UI, Gestures and Swipes, Clutter free UI, and increased Ram and Performance.

Reduce Animation & Transitions:

Suppose you are bored with the laggy transitions and animations and want to quickly open any app instead of pre-animations. In that case, you can easily turn it off from the developer options.

You can find the developers option in the settings menu, but if you cannot find it. Don't worry

Open "Settings>About>Build Number", Tap 5-7 times on the build number until you see a pop-up "You are now a developer". Now open developer options and scroll down to the "Window Animation Scale", and set it to "animation off", also change the other two options Named "Transition animation scale" and "animator duration scale" to "animation off".

Congrats! Now you will not see any animation; BTW, you can also increase and decrease it as your choice.

Disable Unused Connectivity Features:

We often only use some Android features and remember non-used features. It results in a huge loss of ram and battery, increasing battery consumption due to the background processes.

There's a simple solution for this type of consequence. You can easily turn off the unused features by simply turning them off.

Sync Data And Contacts:

Most of android users don't know this feature of Android. This feature is used to back up your data and contacts in your Google account, which is enabled by default in every smartphone. We often don't use this feature, so it's a better approach to turn them off if you are not using this feature. Because it constantly runs in the background and drains your battery. Tapping Settings> Accounts>Google Account>Sync can turn off this. Uncheck the ticks and feel the difference.

GPS:

It's a very high battery-consuming feature; if you have turned it on, your battery will drain faster. That's why experts recommend turning off GPS if you are travelling because when you move, it connects from tower to tower to show your position. During travelling, GPS works more than before, resulting in a high battery drain.

Action And Gestures:

In the latest smartphones, Actions and gestures are enabled by default; these include Lift to wake, music gesture and answer with gesture etc.

These gestures can drain your battery, so turn it off if you are not using them.

IR Blaster:

IR Blaster is the infrared blaster used in older mobile devices, allowing an android to act as a remote controller for TVs, air conditioners and other set-top boxes. However, with the increasing demand for smart TVs and other accessories, it's not used in modern smartphones. It's also a battery-draining feature. You can turn off IR-Blaster from the notification tray.

Limit Background Usage:

The background processes can greatly drain your battery if you don't manage them properly. It consumes a battery even if you don't use your smartphone. You can control it with some third-party apps and tricks.

1. In third-party apps, "Greenify" is best for force-stopping unused apps so battery consumption stays minimum.

2. In another method, you can limit background process from developer options by tapping on "Settings>Developer Option>Background process Limit" and setting it to "at most 4 processes". Experts say that you should not set it to "No background process" because every time you open an app, it will take longer to start a fully stopped one.

3. In the third method, you can remove apps from "protected apps" in "Settings>battery>protected apps" so the unused apps don't run in the background.

Q: What are some tips to improve battery life on my Android phone?

A: There are several ways to extend your battery life. First, reduce screen brightness or use auto-brightness so the screen dims when not needed. Enable battery saver mode which reduces performance but saves power when battery is low. Turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS when you're not using them since they drain battery in the background. Go into app settings and restrict background data and battery usage for apps you don't need running constantly.

Close or force stop apps you're not actively using since they can use battery needlessly in the background. Limit notifications from apps and disable email being pushed constantly if you don't need it. For phones with OLED displays, use dark mode and wallpapers to take advantage of lower energy black pixels. Avoid flashy live wallpapers and keep your home screen simple by removing widgets that update frequently. Make sure to enable adaptive battery and adaptive brightness features which learn usage patterns and optimize settings automatically.

Q: Do I need to use task killer apps on my Android phone?

A: Task killer apps used to be popular but are generally not needed on modern Android versions. Android has its own built-in process management that intelligently schedules resources for apps running in the background. Force stopping these apps can actually worsen battery life and performance by making the system restart processes unnecessarily. It's better to just manually close down apps you know you aren't using. The exception is if you have a rogue app misbehaving, then you might use a task killer just for that specific app.

Q: How does clearing app cache and data improve performance?

A: Apps store cache and temporary data on your phone which helps speed up loading and performance by keeping some info ready to go. However, over time this cache can build up and start slowing things down if it takes up too much storage space. Wiping the cache and data will delete these temporary files and free up storage, while also allowing the app to start fresh. This can noticeably improve speed and responsiveness, especially if an app is misbehaving. Just be aware it will delete your settings and info in that app.

Q: What Android developer options can I use to optimize performance?

A: In developer options, you can limit background processes which prevents too many apps running wild in the background. Reducing or disabling animations makes your phone feel much snappier by removing transitional effects. For development purposes, you may want USB debugging enabled. An important option is reducing animation scales which speeds up how quickly pages and menus display. You also have more control over background data and battery usage for each app. Just be careful adjusting too many developer options since some changes can lead to instability.
