How to Make Your Android Phone Run Faster

Three Methods:Turning Off the Animation on Your Android DeviceClosing Unused Recent ApplicationsClearing the Applications' CacheCommunity Q&A

Most Android smartphones are prone to slowing down over time. However, this issue is not unique to Android. Devices running on iOS also encounter the same problem. The reason for the problem is almost too simple to be true: your Android phone does not have the same applications or the same settings it had a year ago. The good news is there are ways and means to manage your applications and settings to make your Android phone run as fast as it once did.

Method1

Turning Off the Animation on Your Android Device

1. 
   1
   Hit the app drawer button on your homescreen. This will open a list that shows all the installed applications in your device.
2.

   Go to Settings. Just look for the gear icon, and tap on it. This will open a menu with a list of settings options.
3. 
   3
   Select “About Phone” among the options. Scroll down through the list, and tap on “About Phone” to open another screen with information about your device.
4. 
   4
   Find the build number. Scroll down to find the build number, which is usually near the bottom of the list.
5.

   Tap on the build number seven times. This will enable the Developer Options for your device. You will receive a notification for the same on your screen.
6.

Closing Unused Recent Applications

1. 
   1
   Click on the multitasking button on your device. This button varies from one device to the next.

   • For example, in Nexus 4, the rightmost capacitive  button is the multitasking button.
2. 
   2
   See what open applications are running. Clicking on the multitasking button will display the recent applications menu where you will find open applications running in the background.
3. 
   3
   Close the applications you don’t need. To do so, pick the applications that you no longer need, and swipe the application either to the right or to the left to close it.

   • This will free up the RAM which the application was consuming earlier. Freeing up the RAM means faster processing.

1. 
   1
   Hit the app drawer button on your home screen. This will open up the view which shows all the installed applications in your device.
2. 
   2
   Go to Settings. Just look for the gear icon, and tap on it. This will open a menu with a list of settings options.
3. 
   3
   Tap on “Apps/Applications.” You will find this option from the Settings menu options. You will be presented with all the applications installed in your system.
4. 
   4
   Click on any application. This will open the details page of the application.
5. 
   5
   Click on “Clear cache.” This will clear the cache for the application, and free up extremely precious system resource to be used by the device.

   • Unburdening the cache will result in faster processing.
6. 6
   Repeat the process for other applications. Clear the cache for every unneeded application. Your device will then get much more system resource for faster processing, and your Android will work as fast as before.
