Top devices based on operating system Android often works flawlessly. The transition to the menu is carried out without jerks, as well as navigation in applications is not complicated by the brakes that occur from time to time. This smooth operation of the OS is realized for the reason special attention manufacturer to flagship products. But budget and even mid-budget smartphones are tested and optimized by the manufacturer for a minimum amount of time. In this regard, they can slow down, causing negative emotions in the user. In today's article, we will look at the main causes of brakes, as well as ways to solve such problems.

It should be noted that you cannot do something if the phone slows down, which costs 3-5 thousand rubles in the store. The fact is that ultra-budget smartphones and tablets are made from very weak components. And the operating room Android system in its current form is quite resource intensive. Of course, it cannot be compared to Windows, which requires 4 GB. random access memory and a processor with a clock frequency of about 2.5 GHz. No, the mobile operating system has fewer requests, but they are still available.

If you are going to buy soon cheap smartphone, then take the trouble to first evaluate its characteristics. Usually Android works more or less stably on devices that have at least the following specifications:

• 1 GB of random access memory (RAM);
• 8 GB of permanent flash memory (ROM);
• Quad-core 1.5GHz processor.

If at least one parameter is lower, then fast work OSes do not have to wait. The rest of the characteristics (camera resolution, the presence of a memory card slot, etc.) do not directly affect the presence or absence of brakes. Except for the display - the higher its resolution, the more powerful the processor is required to process the picture. That is, you should not expect a complete lack of brakes if the device is equipped with a Full HD screen, but at the same time there is a very modest chipset inside it.

Junk files

So, we have dealt with budget devices. But what if the Android starts to slow down completely unexpectedly? If at first it functioned stably and without freezing, and after a while it became terribly annoying with its brakes. There can be many reasons for this. Here are the most common ones:

• Some of the components started to junk (most often memory is to blame for this);
• The operation of the device was affected by an update of the operating system;
• Over time, a large number of junk files have accumulated.

Let's take a closer look at the third point. In fact, it includes not only files that have become unnecessary, but also other problems in the system, which are almost impossible to identify on your own. But optimizers do an excellent job with this. You can read more about them in our article dedicated to. Here we will look at the process of cleaning the system using the application. Clean master which you can download completely free in Google play.

Step 1. Run Clean master.

Step 2. At the first start, you will have to additionally press the button " Start».

Step 3. Then the program will independently scan the system for junk files. At the end of this process, you just have to click on the green button " Clear trash". But before that, you can scroll through the list and uncheck the boxes next to those applications whose cache you would not want to delete. Conversely, you can check the boxes for programs that Clean Master mistakenly deemed very important.

Step 4. Wait for the process to finish.

Step 5. You can also go to the application menu and click on the " Phone acceleration».

Note: Acceleration occurs for a short period of time. Therefore, it makes sense to use this function before starting any heavy programs and games.

Step 6. Click on the green button " Speed ​​up».

Some smartphones have a built-in optimizer. For example, an additional application is not required for new devices from - a proprietary utility is preinstalled on them Smart Manager.

Lack of free space

Many people wonder why an Android phone or tablet slows down without even assuming that the operating system requires a certain amount of free space in memory. If only 2-3 MB are free, then this will not be enough for many executable files. It is in this connection that there are brakes - system files either do not start at all, or open with noticeable difficulty.

You need to keep at least a couple of dozen megabytes free - this will be enough for the Android operating system.

Note: we are talking about built-in memory, not a microSD card.

In case of urgent need, you can delete several MP3 tracks or a dozen photos. Removing a couple of heavy apps or one game can also help. In order to find out the amount of free memory, follow these steps:

Step 1. Go to " Settings».

Step 2. Go to the section " Memory". It can be located in the " Device».

Step 3. Here you will see the amount of available and full memory. When you click on the items below, you will be taken to the appropriate sections of the file system, where you can delete something if you wish.

Note: here the size of the cache located on the device is indicated. Clicking on this item will clear the cache, freeing up some amount of internal memory for a while.

Why does video slow down on Android?

Any device based on Android is sharpened strictly for certain video formats. For example, the very first smartphones could not play a video if its resolution exceeded 460p. Now even the cheapest gadgets play movies saved in avi format without any problems. Also, they usually do not slow down when launching video in mp4 format, which has a resolution of 720p and runs at a frequency of 25-30 frames per second.

If you went to a site where the video is broadcast only in Full HD (1080p) resolution, then certain problems may arise. Not every smartphones and tablets can reproduce such high-quality content - usually cheap models do not know how to do this without brakes. Another important factor is the frequency - very many modern devices are not capable of stably playing video at a speed of 50-60 frames / s.

Do not forget that it is quite easy to reproduce the content contained in the device's memory (or on a microSD card). If you watch a movie online, then a lot depends not only on the processor power, but also on the bandwidth. The higher the internet connection speed, the more stable the picture will be. You should also take into account the capabilities of the server or hosting on which the web resource is located.

Lack of TRIM support

Any flash memory suffers from the fact that the speed of its work with numerous writes and deletions of data is noticeably reduced. Technology combats this phenomenon TRIM... When the drive is idle, this function automatically cleans up memory cells that have residual data, but are marked as "free".

By default, support for this technology appeared in Android 4.3. If your device is running an earlier version of the operating system, then earlier the issue was solved by installing the program LagFix... It does about the same thing as the TRIM function. But now this application has been removed from Google Play, so the only way out is to install a third-party firmware that is endowed with TRIM technology.

Wrong operating system version

There are a huge number of versions of Android. Moreover, each of them has big number modifications tailored for certain device models. Once you've made up your mind, don't expect it to lead to positive change. Even smartphone manufacturers do not always meticulously test new firmware versions, preferring to adapt it not for gadgets currently on the market, but only for those planned for release. As a result, an ordinary update of the mobile operating system often leads to a slowdown in the speed of work.

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to the previous version. Therefore, we recommend that you think ten times before downloading an update. Only owners of devices from the mid-budget and top-end price segment should not be afraid of this. If you own a cheap gadget, then turn off the Android update. This is done as follows:

Step 1. Go to « Settings».

Step 2. Go to the section " About the phone". In some gadgets, it is called " About the device" or " About tablet". In any case, you need to look for it at the very bottom.

Step 3. Here click on the item " System update».

Step 4. Uncheck the box next to the items " Automatic check for updates"And" ", if any are present here.

It's even worse if you decide to install a custom build of Android. It should be understood that mobile processors have drivers only for certain versions of the operating system. If you install the wrong firmware, it will result in brakes and failure of some components.

Suddenly, unexpectedly, for no good reason the tablet is frozen? You don't remember for recent times exploitation of the gadget, neither its falls, nor getting wet, nor other harmful factors that could provoke the incorrect behavior of the equipment? This means that you just need qualified help and advice from experienced specialists-employees of our service center... Our masters advise the owners of the gadgets in question to try to "resurrect" the device on their own. To do this, you need to do this:

• press the "home" button and the power key at the same time;
• hold the buttons down for about six to ten seconds;
• release the keys sharply;
• the device should reboot, after which, theoretically, it will function normally, without failures and freezes.

There may be one of the following malfunctions:

The tablet freezes, based on the observations of our service center practitioners, in most cases because:

1. There are hidden internal errors. To eliminate them, a change is required software;
2. The operating system crashed. It is necessary to make a new licensed firmware, and the problems will disappear immediately;
3. A software failure has occurred. The specified nuisance is not a problem for the employees of our service center. After carrying out free computer diagnostics, they will know with absolute accuracy where the provocateur of the device's operability decrease lies, and accordingly, they will be able to choose the correct, effective, safe and inexpensive "treatment".

All the previously listed faults and breakdowns, we easily, without problems, eliminate in the shortest possible time.

When the tablet is constantly buggy and freezes, users get upset, begin to doubt the correct choice when buying a gadget. We hasten to reassure you - any technique sooner or later fails. Naturally, the period of functioning of the equipment without failures directly depends on the accuracy of the owner of the device (the less mechanical stress on the device, the less often you will have to turn to the masters for help). It is also strongly recommended to avoid contact of any equipment with liquids, because after getting wet, the detrimental effect of corrosion, rust, oxidative deposits on metal elements necessarily begins. As practice shows, the tablet often hangs precisely due to the presence of rusted parts.

In order to understand why the startup of the operating system stops on the splash screen or the tablet freezes at startup, it is necessary to make preliminary diagnostics on a special test device. The offered procedure is not paid by our clients. Also, quality control after renovation is carried out free of charge. After a control inspection, a guarantee is issued for up to one year for the durability of the original spare parts installed for replacement, as well as the effectiveness of the repair.

Why are we selling such high-quality, original parts so cheaply? Because our workshop telemama directly, without intermediaries and their significant extra charges, cooperates with the most manufacturers of constituent elements.

Which firmware version should I choose in case of a software crash? It is better to entrust the conduct of such an operation to professionals. They will select exactly the licensed version of the firmware that best matches the technical parameters of your tablet. Thanks to the right choice, after the procedure, the gadget will function like new again, and you will forget what a "tablet computer freezes, glitches"!

Eliminate tablet braking: independent steps

However, contacting a workshop is an extreme measure in a situation when the ASUS tablet slows down. To get started, you can fix the problems yourself that cause the unpleasant problem. This can be done in the following ways:

• very carefully examine the list of applications installed on the device. Many users immediately after purchasing a tablet start downloading dozens of games and programs, many of which they simply do not need. One or two uses and the software remains abandoned, hangs in the menu, occupying internal memory... It is because of them that any ASUS tablet very often slows down. To prevent this from happening, just delete everything that you do not use or use very rarely;
• disable automatic updates programs. It is very common for developers to release fixes and enhancements to their applications, thereby expanding their functionality. But such "patches" can overload the device, creating problems with its performance. Therefore, carefully study the proposed updates, make sure that you really need the new options, as the developer says, and only then proceed with the installation;
• turn off the very beautiful, but insanely heavy animation effects. Overloaded wallpapers and screensavers not only slow down the operation of the operating system, but also drain the battery much faster, so they are completely harmful. Meanwhile, you can completely do without them;
• uninstall programs designed to clean and optimize the system. Such applications do their job quite well, but they work in the background, which slows down the ASUS tablet;
• stop using Adobe Flash Player. This module allows you to watch movies online and play games, but today there is an excellent alternative to it - html 5. Therefore, there is simply no need for such a heavy and slow program on a tablet.

Use our services to eliminate brakes

All of the above steps help a lot to speed up the tablet's performance, but how do you know which one should be taken in your case? Very simple. Use the services of our specialists who will carry out detailed diagnostics, determine what exactly provides Negative influence on the speed of the device and restore it in the shortest possible time.

The Android operating system is an incredibly popular platform that has long been recognized and approved around the world.

Smartphones and tablets are being modernized, becoming more powerful and more productive at times, the design is improving and new features and capabilities are being added. There are really a lot of advantages:

• a huge number of both budget and top-end devices running on this system;
• ease of learning and use;
• lots of useful programs and games;
• sea ​​of ​​settings and possibilities for personalization.

This list can be continued for a long time, but we will not. I would like to talk about such a minus of Android as its "lagging" and "braking". Certainly by purchasing new tablet or a smartphone, you can't get enough of its speed and smoothness. But after a while, users have a question: "Why does Android slow down?" Well, let's try to answer.

Apps and games

You bought a tablet or smartphone, what's the first thing to do? You will probably download a dozen cool games and some software. To prohibit this is not a noble matter, but it is necessary to convince to observe the measure. No need to "litter" your device. It is noticed that the smartphone slows down exactly when the internal memory is clogged.

Background processes

The downloaded games and programs are tired and you practically do not use them, but for some reason it is a pity to delete them. "Suddenly they will come in handy", "she is halfway through": such thoughts visit many of us. Okay, don't delete them. But exclude unnecessary applications from it is necessary, because they also "eat" the RAM and load the CPU.

This is easy to do: Settings – Applications– Working... There is a list of apps that are running in the background. We turn off those that are not needed, and some RAM is freed. Just don't touch Google Services!

Widgets and Launchers

A widget is a convenient and beautiful element that can display the battery level, weather, and settings. All this is great, but the power of the device cannot be overestimated. If Android starts to lag, look at the desktop: are there many widgets on it? If so, then you will have to say goodbye to some, as they also like to consume resources. The same goes for the various launchers. Have to choose between appearance and speed.

Below on the screen you can see that Yahoo Weather and HD Widgets for two "eat" 22.5 MB of RAM. This, of course, is not the most huge figure, but still.

Cluttered system

As on our personal computers, on Android memory it is also clogged with temporary files, cache, cookies and even data from previously deleted applications. Of course, this negatively affects the performance of smartphones and tablets, so it is recommended to clean them regularly. In details this procedure described.

Outcome

We talked about the most common reasons why Android slows down. If you have studied and fixed them, you can proceed with the integrated and tablet.

Of course, there are many factors that are not clear to every ordinary user. If you have questions or problems with the device - write and ask, we will be happy to help.
