How to speed up your Android smartphone

 

inShare20

Though the hardware of smartphones is steadily becoming more capable it can't be utilised to its fullest potential without the software to tap it. This is personal technology's modern hurdle - the optimisation of both hardware and software to ensure a fast and seamless user experience.

The effects of this optimisation are most tangible for smartphone users, who in today's fast-paced world become impatient and frustrated if their smartphone starts slowing down, hanging, or otherwise impeding their productivity.

The slowdown of Android smartphones can be caused by several reasons, and usually starts becoming noticeable after several months of using them. Here are a few tips for users that feel their Android smartphones have slowed since they purchased the devices.

1.    Install a third-party app launcher
Most Android smartphone manufacturers customise the OS on their devices, with specially-designed skins, launchers or UIs that sport widgets, layouts and other custom features in addition to the vanilla OS offering. While some users do find these customisations and added features useful, they can potentially slowdown the smartphone.

A simple workaround is to install a good third-party launcher (simpler than rooting or installing a custom ROM on the smartphone), which should remove most of the custom features, whilst also providing personalisation options. Two of the best launchers available in the Google Play store are 'Nova Launcher' and 'Lightning Launcher'.

2.    Remove extra apps, wallpapers, widgets
If users have a significant number of apps installed, it could slow down their smartphones. Users need to ask themselves if all the apps they have installed are being used, and then uninstall unused ones. Some apps cannot be uninstalled (especially bloatware apps from smartphone manufacturers), so users will have to settle for disabling them.

Live wallpapers, and an excess of widgets on home screens, can also slow down smartphones, and if users are experiencing performance issues they should consider using static wallpapers instead, and removing any non-vital widgets.

3.    Disable non-vital background processes, check synching appsSome apps start up with the phone, while others are constantly synching with online services. Both of these can dramatically slowdown users' smartphones. To check which apps are running in the background, users should visit the Apps section in Settings, and swipe to the 'Running' tab. If there are apps running in the background that are not being utilised, users should try uninstalling the apps, or disabling them, in case the apps can't be removed.

Another thing to be checked is if there are apps that are synching in the background, and if the benefits of synching are being utilised by the user. If not, users can turn off synchronisation, saving both data and system resources. To do this, visit Settings>Data usage (could be a separate section called 'Usage' under 'Wireless & networks' menu, depending on your Android version), and scroll down to see which apps are using data.

Users can then either visit individual app settings to turn off synchronisation, or visit the 'Data usage' section's context menu, which has the 'Auto-sync data' option (not present in all Android versions), which can be turned off.

To do the same for any Google app or services, users will need visit Settings>Accounts>Google>UserProfile. Here they can turn off sync settings for individual Google apps and services.

A must-install for Android smartphone users is Advanced Task Killer, which allows users to kill any apps that are taking too much memory (RAM) or slowing down the device for other reasons, such as instability.

4.    Clear app cache
Much-used apps will build up a cache that can slowdown an Android smartphone, and users can delete each used apps' cache regularly to speed up their devices. Unfortunately, this will have to be a rather regular process, as apps will start rebuilding their cache from the moment they are launched. To individually delete each app's cache, users will need to visit Settings>Apps, select the relevant app, and then click on the 'Clear cache' button.

To bulk-delete multiple apps' cache, or to set up scheduled cache-clearing, users can download a third-party application called 'App Cache Cleaner' from the Play Store, which can delete cache for multiple apps, and allow users to set up intervals for regular cache cleaning. Users can also delete cache data for all apps via a native Android option, found at Settings>Storage>Cached data.

5.    Disable animations
Animations are usually graphical transitions between menus, app drawers, and other interface locations. They use system resources to be generated, and occur quite regularly when navigating through a smartphone. They serve no purpose apart from beautifying the smartphone experience, and if users find their devices are slowing down, it is a good idea to turn off animations with no adverse impact on day-to-day use.

Turning off animations unfortunately is not very easy, with the option usually hidden behind the 'Developers options' section. To access 'Developers options', users need to visit Settings>System>About Phone where they can find the 'Build number' of their phone. Once they tap the 'Build number' seven times, users will then see 'Developer options' in the system menu. Here, they turn off all types of animation.  Users should be careful not to turn on or off any other option in this section.

6.    Clean out built-in storage
If the built-in storage of a smartphone is nearly full, the device will slow down quite dramatically. Between 10 and 20 percent of the total built-in storage should be available or free to avoid slowdowns. While a simple solution could be to simply delete all unused apps and clear cache data to save space, ideally users should be looking at a longer lasting solution. Most smartphones come with the option to expand built-in storage via microSD card.

If users' smartphones feature microSD card storage expandability, they should move all media to it, such as pictures, music and videos. Apps can also be moved from internal storage to SD card, by visiting the app's settings via Settings>App and navigate to individual apps. Some older versions of Android don't support this feature, and users will have to download an 'Apps to SD card' app from the Google Play store.

7.    Update firmware
While certain updates can have adverse effects, the general rule of thumb is that a firmware update for a smartphone will bring improvements of various types, usually including performance optimisations. Users experiencing reduced performance on their smartphones should check if the manufacturer has released a firmware update for them.

To do this, users should visit Settings>System>About>Software Updates and check if an update is available over-the-air. If not present here, users can also check by connecting their smartphones to the PC suite software provided by the manufacturer, and check for updates there.

While most updates do not require users to back up their smartphones before the update, we recommend users do so just in case something does go wrong - it's better to be safe than sorry.

8.    Root phone, install custom ROM
While we don't recommend this method to anybody but a power user, the problem of a slowing Android smartphone is often solved by this method, with the user installing a custom ROM that is lighter and less-resource intensive than the manufacturer-customised UI and firmware. The method is similar to installing a third-party app launcher (Tip 1), however, has a much wider effect, essentially replacing all the software on the phone.

There are several guides and resources available online that can help users root their devices, and install custom ROMs from a database of independently developed firmware. XDA Developers Forum is one of the best resources for this, and users are recommended to read in detail the instructions and discussions about the specific custom ROM for their particular smartphone before going ahead. You can also visit CyanogenMod's website, which provides several easy installation tools and walkthroughs for its ROMs.

Please note, rooting smartphones or installing custom ROMs on them is usually (there are some tools also available) a rather complicated task, and a risky one that can see users lose all their data, or end up with a bricked device. Rooting or flashing smartphones also usually voids manufacturer warranty.

9.    SSD TRIM
Smartphones utilise solid state drives for their storage needs, and an inherent flaw with such a storage device is that when data is deleted from flash memory cells, the cells need to be completely wiped before they can used for a write process again. This requires the OS to issue a TRIM command to the drive to specific which cells are unused and should be wiped.

Google reportedly fixed this problem in Android 4.3 and higher, but if you are running an older version of Android, a solution does exist that will allow users to issue TRIM commands to the SSD. Users will need to root their smartphones, and install LagFix from the Play Store. Once again, rooting smartphones is a risky process and we recommend caution.

Transformers: Age of Extinction Brings Giant Robot Dinosaurs and Even Bigger Explosions

Today, the Transformers franchise stands for rather poor storytelling and acting, and extremely detailed giant robots that punch, kick and shoot at each other in a series of ever-growing explosions. So it's perhaps no surprise that the latest film in the series continues this tradition. Transformers: Age of Extinction is, however also a great looking film, and some of the early scenes in particular stand out for their amazing use of 3D effects.
For much of the movie, the 3D is used to make things "pop" out of the screen, but the first few scenes show that the filmmakers also use 3D to draw you into a scene, by establishing depth, to tremendous effect. And this is something that is done subtly throughout the film.
The downside though, is that the film also feels like a technology demo at times - it goes out of its way to set up scenes where you will hear sounds bouncing around the hall, for instance, to showcase the Dolby Atmos technology being used to deliver 3D positional sound. This is done very blatantly a couple of times in the film. Similarly, a lot of shots are filmed at an uncomfortable perspective just to maximise depth, and make use of the 3D effects possible. Watching Transformers: Age of Extinction, we couldn't help but feel that this would seem a completely different movie if seen in a 2D hall with regular surround sound.

We watched the movie courtesy of Dolby at Delhi's Sapna Cinema, the second cinema in the city to get a Dolby Atmos system set up, and based on that experience at least, we came away thoroughly impressed with the film's technical achievements.
One of the most wonderful segments actually takes place pretty early in the film - there's a scene where Mark Wahlberg and his family are being chased by the CIA, while a damaged Optimus Prime is being simultaneously chased by Lockdown, a strange robot mercenary who works for the "creators", the beings who made both the Autobots and the Decepticons, the heroes and villains of the first three films in the franchise.
In this sequence, you get an amazing visual moment where the human chase is taking place on the ground level, and you can see the cars zoom by, and clearly make out the people in them, while in the foreground, the two giant robots are fighting on top of a building.

The movie actually continually makes great use of 3D, and for the most part, avoids the shaking handheld camera effect that has become the standard trope for this kind of film. There are still a lot of close cuts, which can be a little disorienting, but overall, the action is pretty easy to follow, and much of it is great.
However, the film loses steam and feels like it is pulling at too many threads, in terms of the story. Some of the decisions, like setting a lot of the action in China, feel mandated by the requirements of the production, and not the story. Giving Mark Wahlberg some action hero moments where he essentially saves the day by getting Optimus nearly killed feel like the result of having a big star demand that his role be beefed up. But perhaps most baffling is the treatment of Grimlock.
The trailers for the movie would have made it clear that Grimlock is in this movie. There's a great shot of Optimus punching a giant dinosaur robot right in the face, and jumping on its back to ride it, in the trailers. You'd hope that this was the conclusion of an amazing fight between Optimus and Grimlock, but in the film, that's the entire sequence. Optimus tells the "legendary warriors" to join him or fight him, a fire breathing T-rex robot attacks him and gets punched in the jaw, and then it's time to go riding.

In short, the Dinobot has no personality, and showing up in the narrative nine-tenths of the way through the movie, it feels shoehorned in because of fan service. At the same time, it feels like the filmmakers had no idea what the character was supposed to be, or why the fans love it, and therefore it isn't something which will appeal to the fans. This is a stark contrast with the way Grimlock was handled in the game Transformers: The Fall of Cybertron, which made the most of the Dinobot.
The film also deals with the resurrection of Megatron as Galvatron, setting up a sequel hook for more Transformers films, and while this is also a digression from the established comic book canon, here, the changes are more organic, and in keeping with the world that's been established.
However, the first climax of the movie, which involves a small band of Autobots fighting off a small army of Galvatron's Decepticons, felt forced. The new Decepticons are supposed to be better and faster and deadlier than the Autobots used to build them, but instead, we see dozens of them shot to pieces by just two Autobots. The Decepticons to come close to winning, but only by sheer weight of numbers, and this cheapens the big rescue moment of Prime riding in on Grimlock and letting off a fireblast.

You know that the story has a problem when a giant robot waving a sword while riding on a robot T-rex which can breathe fire is not a moment which makes people whistle and clap with delight. Just the idea has so much potential, and it feels criminal to waste is on a ten second clip with a terrible soundtrack, but that's exactly what happens.
Despite its many plot holes though, Transformers: Age of Extinction manages to be a very enjoyable movie, particularly if you're just looking for great shots of giant robots and fights. Mark Wahlberg, his daughter, and her boyfriend, make up the human core of this movie, and are almost predictably terrible, but many of the secondary characters are wonderful.
Kelsey Grammer as the CIA boss who believes that there are no "good aliens or bad aliens, only us or them", is completely at home in this negative role, and Titus Welliver is wonderfully thuggish as the leader of the CIA team that has been hunting and killing Transformers. But it's Stanley Tucci, playing a Steve Jobs-style inventor, who has the best lines. His first scene has him talk about the importance of getting the sound of a door chime just right, and he seems at first to be a complete clone of the public notion of Steve Jobs, but as the film progresses, the character actually gets to exhibit a number of other emotions, and actually ends the film being pretty likeable.

It's a pity that the lead characters cannot claim the same. Mark Wahlberg gets to play space-marine and fire a laser gun while squinting angrily at enemies, and kicks a man off a building. Because that's completely in character for the absent-minded inventor that he's been playing so far. His daughter is played by what may either be a young woman, or a great looking mannequin. The doubt is present because while she is extremely qualified at being a clothes-horse, there's very little evidence to suggest any acting took place. And the daughter's boyfriend in-turn looks like he stepped out of a catalogue, and strapped a fake accent in place to make up for any lack of acting talent.
At the end of the day, a lot of plot holes can be forgiven if you have a good film in front of you. That's what happened, for example, with X-Men: Days of Future Past. Much like its "actors" though, Transformers: Age of Extinction, is not a good film, merely a good looking one. That will still be enough for a lot of people in the audience, and the movie will undoubtedly make money. Hopefully, when there's a sequel, they'll also make better use of fire breathing robot dinosaurs, because that's the only reason we were watching.
