How NOT to speed up Android?

How NOT to speed up Android?

I read texts on various portals, which are trying to fill the Tech category, about accelerating Android devices. Mostly the same tips follow, some may write a little "more advanced" tricks. But it all actually slows down, not speeds up.

Having been using Android devices for about 5 years, I tried 1001 ways to speed up my devices. There are some really good ways, but for more experienced users, and it works, the device works faster. But here I am writing about how not to try to speed up Android.

1. Install RAM manager (cleaner, booster ..)

These programs eject the applications that are there from the temporary memory to run faster the next time. Then why throw them out? If you search on more serious forums or ask more professional people, they will answer you the same - these applications are useless.

2. Delete the Cache application

What else is a cache for? To speed up the application. Why delete? Well, the main reason is that over time, the cache fills up and slows down the device. Yes, that applies if you have a phone from 7 years ago. And yes, you can delete the cache once every 5 months, not every day or week. Applications that clear the cache are useless again and will slow down the device again.

3. Forcibly close applications that you do not use

Just to follow a logical path, a more expert does not have to tell you, if you forcibly close the application (kill), the system will need more processing power, time, and energy to run it. Doesn't that take longer than "pulling" it out of the temporary memory? That's why this temporary memory exists, as in the computer, to make the system access applications faster. Then why kick them out?

These are mostly the 3 most common tips I came across, I didn't want to read any more instructions.

Tip: use your phone normally, it exists to serve you, not you.

In one of the next posts, I will write about how to really speed up Android, but you will need a little more knowledge. Until then, you can read the posts from the "Android" category to get to know this OS a little better.

SIM card sizes (Mini, Micro, Nano) - explanation

Many users still complain about the size of SIM (subscriber identification module) cards. Which one goes on the phone? Can it be shortened? Can a smaller one into a larger slot? Although we are slowly switching to eSIM (more on this in this article ), we still use classic SIM cards. Newer phones usually require a Nano sizes, but operators issue SIM cards in all sizes. More precisely, now SIM cards are made so that the user can choose the size immediately, and later change it if necessary. More on that at the end of the article.
