Android: free up memory

Android smartphones are slowing down over time. This is mostly due to the lack of RAM. This practical tip shows you how to free up more memory.

Control and end Android processes

A good way to get more memory is to monitor and kill running processes. With the "Android Assistant" or "Clean Master" apps, you can do this in a few simple steps and release RAM. It is also worth taking a look at the battery consumption. Background processes and apps can also be ended manually here.

Android - Remove startup programs

When the smartphone starts up, some apps are already working in the background, which can slow down the process. With apps such as the "Startup Manager" you can find the culprits and kick them out of the auto start.

Clear Android cache

It is worth clearing the cache regularly. The "Clean Master" app also helps here, as it frees up not inconsiderable storage space with just one tap. Another alternative is the "App Cache Cleaner - 1Tap Clean" application.

Android - expand memory via SD card

You can also expand your RAM on the Android smartphone using an SD card. You can read how this works in this additional article.

Android - In an emergency: reset

If you have completely overfilled your device with applications, sometimes only resetting the smartphone helps. Back up important data such as your address book or pictures as a backup. "MyPhoneExplorer Client" with the associated desktop version can be helpful here.

Another practical tip shows you how to end programs that run in the background with on-board equipment.
