HTC and Motorola offer the option in the menu. Devices from other manufacturers must force so that they address the MicroSD card as internal memory. Benefit above all HTC smartphones.

Widgets are little apps that must be started each time when you press the home button. Especially for smartphones with only one gigabyte of RAM and a middle-class processor (i.e., a typical Smartphone Moto-G-class) that is noticeable.

Turn off live wallpapers
Live wallpapers (live wallpapers) are another feature, which is much of the outside. It involves interactive images or patterns that touch input or a physical acceleration of the Smartphone to respond and create pretty animations. That takes battery life and system resources, your Smartphone makes so altogether slower. A static background image, however, is more efficient. To change can you choose the menu item background in display settings, or long press on the home screen.

Use an alternative Launcher
The Launcher is responsible for sorting your app icons. There are many different approaches and some of them work so efficiently that users swear they did a faster their smartphones. Some readers could make faster Nova or apex a slow Galaxy S4 with the Launcher. See for yourself:

Android update
Many users ignore the message for weeks that a system update was available. But the updates are not only your safety. You resolve critical error and thus increase the battery life, allow apps to run stable again and improve the management of memory.

The updates come automatically without your intervention. Regularly, your smartphone from the manufacturer or provider asks if there is anything new. And then you will receive an notification. Then is to choose from, making the update immediately or later. The procedure is safe and runs without loss of data. Your battery should be filled to 80 percent.

If there are any updates for your device more, worth a look in the section of custom ROMs.

Clear cache
There are two cache systems in Android, where data filed and which apps can run faster. In particular, if an app or your Android system updates, the data in the cache can be corrupted. We show two variants can be used to reset a these caches.

The first variant is app-specific, so you're doing again quickly crashed or slow apps. This enters the multitasking view - usually you do this tap the menu button or hold him down - and type on the app icon in top left. On many Android devices, you will get into the app-info.

At Samsung, the trick doesn't work and you have to type in the settings of applications to application manager and in it find the lame app. Depending on the version of the operating system you have there either the cache empty button, or you must first tap memory.

If the apps run in General unstable, you can delete the complete app cache once. That's the memory menu. Sometimes the entry as data in the cache and another called time cached data, but a tip that does the same thing: resets all cache data.

In addition to the cache, which you find in the software interface, there is also a cache partition. This can empty you also, if the above methods have not helped. Because that works a bit differently with any Android Smartphone, we perform it in the following example only with a Samsung Galaxy. How you get to the menu, learn it, if after her on YouTube "[your device] recovery mode" searches.

At the edge of the S6, it makes the device and makes it, hold but the physical buttons volume up, home, and power. Then appears the Bugdroid on a turquoise background. Let go of the buttons. Pressing volume down and home, now you're in the recovery menu. Your wipe cache partition will find in there. Navigate with quieter up there, enabled with power and wait. Then press reboot system now and wait very long. The first launch is something tough, then everything goes but again quickly and without errors.

Factory reset
Occasionally a complete reset of the unit is worth. If too many app and file corpses on the Flash memory clog and block the path of new data, only a fresh start will help. Creates a backup of all data, which are dear to you so. We explain in the following places:

Then you have same data on your Smartphone as on his first day back: photos, music, but also the unwanted app residues are removed and your formerly slow Smartphone is again fast.

Because otherwise, the wizard installs dozens of apps and start right back up in this article.

Custom ROMs
Unfortunately, every Smartphone comes sometime to the point where software updates are offered by the manufacturer. It must but not fatal: custom ROMs are a possibility, even on older devices, current, less faulty versions of Android run and back to get a faster system.
