Welcome Reader. Today, we'll be looking at 10 detailed hacks
to keep your smartphone or PC up and running. Speaking of hacks or tips, i am
actually referring to those things that seem little but are actually essential
in keeping your smartphone alive and well.
2. Only Make Use Of Recommended Chargers:
Tip: Making use of your Smartphone even while connected to the power source could weaken your battery power but some people won't hear word.
For the sake of this Tutorial, An Antivirus is a software or program that protects a device from virus and malware attacks and In some cases, the Antivirus has kept hackers at bay.
On the First section, we will be
looking at the Smartphone Tips
Smartphone
Tips:
1. Grab A Good Memory Or SD Card:
Now i think i have to state the
reason why we need a good memory or SD card. Well having an SD card should
reduce the amount of space which is heaped on your phone's internal memory. Now
if your phone memory is kind of occupied or filled up, this could lead to your
Smartphone freezing or hanging unnecessarily. As we all know, our smartphone's
internal memory is actually our device root storage which may contain our
Android's system files, settings backup, app data, obb files etc; so a virus
attack on this location could be fatal and this could lead to data loss.
Tip: Deleting files recklessly on the Android folder could
lead to instant data wipe or reset of your Smartphone. Please thread with
caution.
2. Only Make Use Of Recommended Chargers:
Making use of any kind of charger
for your Smartphone could kill and suck up your battery juice thus reducing
your battery's life span. I know we all want our battery to zapp from 32 to 60%
in a period of 30 minutes even without our smartphone having the fast-charge
capability but know that it's doing your battery more harm than good. In
getting a good charger, you could visit your Smartphone's store or outlets and
buy the recommended charger for your device
3. Don't Install App From Unknown
Sources:
I know this might sound hard for us
to do since almost all the app we make use of Sometimes aren't from play store
but i really think it's worth it. You might not know how badly installing app
from unknown sources could harm your Smartphone.
Below are the dangers of installing
apps from unknown sources:
- Malware could come into your device via apps from unknown sources
- Key loggers could find their way into your smartphone
- Unknown apps could pose greater risk to your device
- Sometimes, it is not worth it.
Now with this feature turned off,
only apps which are Google verified could be installed on your Smartphone.
If you wish to keep this settings
on, then you're on your own.
4. Don't Overcharge Your
Smartphone's Battery:
How do you feel if you're being
forced to eat more after getting full?? i guess you feel uncomfortable right??.
Well that's how your Smartphone feel after getting to 100% and still being
forced to take more. Your Smartphone being left in the power source even after
getting to 100% could damage the battery life badly and it's advisable by me To
keep your Smartphone's battery between 80 and 30% at all times if possible.
Tip: Making use of your Smartphone even while connected to the power source could weaken your battery power but some people won't hear word.
5. Uninstall Those Idle and Unknown
App
If there are properties have not
been on active use for a long time, I think you should dispose them off and the
same logic applies to your Smartphone. You should do a perodical check-up for
unused and idle apps. if any of these app are found, i think you should
uninstall them immediately.
Now to see all the app that are
installed on your Smartphone, you should follow these steps:
- Move to settings from your Android menu
- Click on App and Notifications ( This might vary
according to your device. In my case am using Tecno Pop 2
power)
- Click on see all app and this should display all apps
which are Installed on your Android device)
- Move through the list and uninstall any unreasonable or
unknown app from your device
These are some of the few tips that
could help keep your Smartphone up and running smoothly.

3. Run a Disk Cleanup Or Repair
Periodically
I really think it's a nice advice
that you ensure that your PC Hard-disk is 20% free. if you notice that your
hard-disk is getting filled, i advise you uninstall some programs or remove
some files from your PC and it's advisable you have a hard-disk partition to
keep your main files separate from your system files
Another thing to look out for during
Disk Cleanup is deleting your temp files from your PC.
Follow These Steps To Delete junk
files from your temp folder:
- Access the run command by using the key combination "Win" + "R"
- In the run command window, input the text "%Temp%" into the run command window and click on Enter key
- In the temp folder, highlight all and use the "Shift" + "Delete" key
to delete all files from the temp folder.
if this is done correctly, this
should clear some space from your hard-disk.
Tips: There are some good PC software that help us free up some
hard-disk space, delete browser history, deleting cookies, cleaning up windows
registry errors and defraging your hard-disk.
Panda Cleanup is
a good software that gives you a trial which is one month free.
4. Check RAM and Add More If Needed
RAM which is an acronym for Random
Access Memory is the storage memory that is used by your computer system.
You should know that for your computer system to run programs of higher quality
efficiently, you actually need to increase your RAM. low RAM might cause your
computer to slow down especially when you're performing large files at once.
The most common RAM size you can find in everyday laptop PCs nowadays is 8GB. Some lower-end models come with 4GB and in some cases only 2GB. Higher-end mainstream laptop models oftentimes feature 12GB and 16GB. You can find high-performance gaming laptops and mobile workstations with 24 or even 32 Gigabytes.
To Find Your Current RAM size, follow these steps below:
- Open the Run command by making use of the "Windows" + "R" key simutenously
- Type in CMD into the Run command box and click on Enter
- On the CMD interface, type in "Systeminfo" and click on Enter
Your current RAM size is represented by the "Physical Memory Column"
5. Stop Unnecessary Programs From Running When You Startup Your Computer:
You should know that whenever you switch on your computer system, the OS isn't the only thing that loads up. Some other irrelevant programs might also be waiting in line to start up too. If you're Startup list is clogged up, this could have a heavy impact on your RAM usage right from your system startup.
