How to Make Your Android Perform Faster?

It’s really hard to believe that your several thousands worth of phone is acting weird-takes longer time to start an app and sometimes it even freezes. Mid-rangers and budget end smartphones are more severely affected as they are more prone to lag and stuttering. So today in this “How To Section” we are telling you the some of the secrets (not really the secrets) to speed up the Android performance so that you may feel your phone perform better than earlier.

Make Your Android Up to Date

Earlier versions of the Android are more prone to bug than the latest version. You may know that the latest version contains bug fixes and general improvements which help your Android device to run faster. If the system update is available, it tends to come to OTA (Over The Air) and you are automatically prompted to install them. But you can always check if the update is available or not by going to the Settings > About device> Software update> Check for updates.

Also, check your installed apps have an available update or not by going to the installed apps in Google Play Store.

Uninstall the Unused Apps

It’s not worthy to keep the app that you never use. It only consumes your storage and eats system resources. So, it’s better to uninstall those apps you don’t use.
While some of the apps can’t be uninstalled but there’s an option to disable them and you can again enable them if you change your mind in future.

Clear Cached App Data

Cached data for apps help them to load more quickly but it can build up over time to take up quite a lot of space and there will potentially be cached data in there for apps that you no longer use. So, sometimes clearing cached data for an app can help to perform your device better.

Wipe Cache Partition

The cache partition is separate from your app data cache and it contains temporary files. It’s nice cleaning this out every once in a while. You’ll have to boot into recovery mode to do it. The method of entering recovery mode varies depending on your device, but you’ll find it easily with a quick Google search. Once in recovery mode, you use the volume keys to navigate and the power key to select an item.

Perform a Factory Reset

If any of the methods listed above does not boost your Android performance, then it’s time to reset your device which cleans junks and erases all data in the phone. So, before performing a factory reset make sure to back up everything that you need.

Overclock Your Device

If you are willing to root Everything You Need To Know About Rooting an Android Device then you can overclock it using SetCPU or Android Overclock which pushes the OEMs limit speed. If you are planning to do this then please proceed with caution.

Install a Custom ROM

Only the rooting your Android device does not make your device run like Usain Bolt but a Custom Rom can. What you need to do is just find the right Custom ROM for your device and do some research.
Some other tips include turning off or reducing animations of your device (Windows Animation Scale, Transition Animation Scale, and Animation Duration Scale), turning off auto-sync, not using widgets in home screen and sometimes trying a third party launcher can also help a lot.

If your device is still lagging then it’s time to replace it with a new one. Before buying a new one please do refer Top Smartphones Under Rs.20000, & Top Smartphone Under Rs.30000.

Potalyzer: A breathalyzer for marijuana

Researchers from Stanford have revealed ‘potalyzer ‘ – a device that can measure whether people are under the influence of marijuana or not. The researchers have claimed that potalyzer can help the police as it provides the precise measurement of driver’s marijuana intoxication. But before starting this article, let’s talk about Tetrahydrocannabinol.

Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC is a chemical substance that is responsible for the psychological effects that happen after the usage of Marijuana. There is a presence of Cannabinoid receptors in certain parts of our brain that are associated with thinking, memory, pleasure, time perception and coordination. THC can activate these receptors, and alter our thoughts, movements, concentration creating a euphoria-like feeling.

After marijuana is ingested or inhaled, THC molecule can also be found in saliva. This is when the newly revealed mobile device will come into effect. Police can collect a spit sample in a cotton swab, run it through some tests and get the results on their laptops and smartphones, in just three minutes. The device basically uses magnetic biosensors to detect the tiny THC molecule in saliva or spit. It simply works using magnetic nanotechnology, previously used as a cancer screen. And the potalyzer doesn’t just check whether a person is under the influence or marijuana or not. It can also check the concentration of its usage.

The device uses Bluetooth to communicate the results to laptops and smartphones

Potalyzer can reveal THC if their concentration ranges from 0 to 50 nanograms per milliliter of saliva. The researchers achieved such precision by harnessing the behavior of magnetism in nanoparticles, which measure just a few tens of billionths of a meter.

This device could be a major breakthrough as countries, where marijuana is legalized, have been trying to look for a device that can measure people’s marijuana intoxication as effectively as breathalyzer can work to check the level of alcohol intoxication.

Now they are in abroad. the Rs.10/purchase might look small on papers, but it really adds up and will make a significant impact for the development of science and technology.

CAN CommTech 2016 Review: A True Dissapointment

CAN CommTech 2016 has officially started and the event runs until 11th Sept, but what I have seen on the opening day has been a true disappointment. Unlike the CAN infotech where there is involvement of almost all the tech giants in some way or another, the first year’s CAN Commtech has proved to be nothing shy of boring. Despite all that, there are few attractions for tech geeks, and for someone looking for a new FTTH internet connection. Let’s get started:

SMARTPHONES: Where are All the Smartphone Brands?

You could only see stall of two smartphone brands at the CAN comm tech 2016: Samsung and ZTE. Both these brands haven’t launched any new products, however, they are offering some kind of discounts and freebies on their existing products.

1 of 2

Samsung is offering 3% discount on already discounted Dashain offer prices, and ZTE is offering 5% discount and free selfie stick on the ZTE Blade S6, Blade D2, and Blade D3. Both these brand shared their plans for the upcoming models. Samsung will be launching the J5 and J7 Prime in next few days, and ZTE is launching 5 new models next month.

Internet Service Providers (ISP): Everyone’s going gaga over the speed

If you are looking for a new internet connection, the CAN CommTech could well be an ideal place to visit. ISPs like Worldlink, Vianet, Websurfer, Subisu, and Broadlink are providing decent offers on Fibre connection and IPTV.

1 of 4

Worldlink is offering 5Mbps unlimited internet speed with 1:4 sharing ratio for Rs. 1,800.
Vianet is offering free installation, 1-month BONUS, cash discount, and free ONU device for yearly subscribers.
WebSurfer is offering free installation, free ONU device, and cash discount.
Subisu doesn’t have any offer on FTTH internet service, but they are providing cable internet and clear TV combo offers.

Laptops: Solitary Acer

Just like the smartphone brands, the involvement of laptop brands were minimal and I could see only Acer laptops from Mercantile. They showcased Acer Switch Alpha 12 laptop which looks like a cheaper Surface Pro. Specs wise, it includes a dual-core i5 processor, 8GB of memory, a 256GB solid-state drive, and a keyboard case. They didn’t reveal the price, but it is expected to be priced at around Rs. 90,000.

Routers: Free Antivirus! What’s the catch?

Provider of networking products and solutions like Netis and Totolink are providing free antivirus on the purchase of routers. Beltronics, on the other hand, launches a new product. It’s a li-ion battery that provides 5 hours of backup for Wi-fi router.

Allocacoc Products: The WoW factor of CAN Commtech

Allocacoc, a household tech company that promises to replace your poorly designed multi plugs and power outlets, is offering a heavy discount on their products with free goodies and combo deals. Let’s summarise the price discount here:

S.N.	Product Name	MRP (Rs.)	CAN Offer (Rs.)
1.	Power USB cable	490	350
2.	Powercube Original	690	550
3.	Powercube Original USB	1190	1000

15.	Power USB HUB	1350	1450 + USB cable (Combo Offer)
16.	Power USB HUB Portable	2490	2590 + USB cable (Combo Offer)
