Tips on How to Keep Your Smartphone in Tip-Top Shape
Always Back Up Data
Since most of our important contacts, notes, memorable pictures
and videos are usually stored on our phones, it’s important to back up its
data. With its connectivity options (WiFi, Bluetooth, and data plans), connect
to the Internet and log into your cloud
storage facility.
Just make sure that your connection is secured before performing any type of
backup. You can also opt to just connect to your desktop or laptop, and back
everything up.
Manage Your Phone’s Memory
If you thought that computers suffered from memory management
issues, think again. Most modern smartphones also experience the same problem.
Now, to better manage your device’s memory, you can download and install a
memory app manager. It can basically perform two tasks: First, it can perform a
system recovery on your phone’s internal hard drive and restore its lost
memory. Second, it will defragment—just like on regular computers—to organize
fragmented files and help its mobile OS (Android) run efficiently. Aside from
defragmenting and doing a system recovery, it can also help its users keep
track of their phone’s memory usage.
Close Any Unused Application
Usually, computers tend to slow down if you have too many
programs running at the same time. The same thing also happens to modern mobile
devices; they either restart or crash when there are too many apps running.
Close any unused applications to free up memory space. Scanning it with
antivirus software will help you clean it, and kill any process eating apps on
your phone.
Resetting Your Phone to Factory Settings
For laptops and desktop computers, the last resort is usually to
reformat its hard drive and start anew. Resetting should only be done if you've done everything you can. Make sure that you've properly backed everything up
before resetting your device. It will erase everything and bring back its
original settings. Just remember to install legitimate apps to avoid problems
with your phone’s OS.
Delete Unnecessary Apps, Media, Browser Cookies and Cache
Always remember: if you’re not using it, delete it. On our
computers, we usually uninstall programs we haven’t used for the longest time.
For phones, unused applications usually take up space and eat up the device’s
memory. Deleting these unused or unnecessary applications will free up space
and optimize your phone’s performance. Since most devices are used to connect
to the Internet, deleting its browser cache and cookies will help you browse
faster when connected.
The tips and advice featured in this article were first used to
resolve issues on computers. But since more people are now going mobile, these
troubleshooting steps still prove to be effective in resolving basic phone
problems. Just follow these tips and it will help you restore your phone to its
former glory.
