Different ways through which you can prevent your mobile phone from hanging/freezing :-
- Always install/place applications and other data in external memory (memory card) if internal memory is too low, so that whenever any app runs it will get space to store temporary data in internal memory and because of this you can run multiple apps at the same time without any hassles.
- Uninstall unnecessary apps when not in use for long time as it will eat up memory unnecessarily. You can install them again via setup files whenever you feel like through file manager or store them in computer or laptop and transfer them back when required.
- Keep solely those themes which you are using currently and move/place rest of them in your computer. Doing this will not only free up memory but will also speed up your mobile.
- Never run apps that doesn't seem to be supported by your phone like variation in screen resolutions, running apps which are compatible with higher Os.
- Free up memory by deleting/moving songs, eBooks, videos, apps, wallpapers, images, old msgs, contacts and files which are not in use since long to computer. Import them back whenever required.
- Never run heavy apps if mobile phone does not host enough RAM (Internal memory).
- Shut down processes which are in the background when running heavy app. Mobile phone operating systems like android have inbuilt task manger through which you can close processes which are running in the background. You can download task manager like "Advanced task killer" or "Easy task killer" from application market.
- Install smart antivirus software package on your mobile because if your device is infected with virus, it automatically slows down, virus can also cause fatal damage to the software. Delete unnecessary cookies, cache files.
- If you're using a low budget mobile phone, make sure you do not run multiple apps at the same time.
- While surfing internet do not run multiple tabs or perform multiple tasks because it slows down processor and consumes lot of RAM.
- Free up internal as well as external memory as much as you can by deleting/moving unnecessary files.
- Always keep your mobile phone software up-to-date

DeleteI wanted to stop the running apps to prevent my tablet from hanging but it said that if I will stop the running apps,apps will misbehave or may not work.plzzzzzzzzzz suggest some solution by a reply.
ReplyDeleteTry this things-
Delete1.Run Clean Master or DU speed booster software (Android), it will kill unnecessary background operations,apps and free up the RAM for ongoing,current running app.Download it from Google play store
2.If your gizmo has 1GB Ram out of which almost half of it would be already utilized by inbuilt apps, the chances of running too many multiple operations are minimal and will slow down the device, avoid running too many apps at same time.
3.Uninstall apps which you don't use.
4.Transfer most of data if feasible from device storage to external SD Card (Memory card).
5.Remove apps from Home screen, keep this screen free from apps these will increase battery life too.
6.Turn off connectivity features like Wi-Fi, hotspot, Bluetooth and others if you are not using it.
Do reply whether this helped or not.

ReplyDeletehellooo.... my mobile is lenovo A6000 ...wen i connected it to computer..my mobile got hanged,.... please tell me what sh i doo... its not getting on now.. please do reply
ReplyDeleteMight be because of virus in your cellphone or computer. Scan both with good antivirus software. Don't install too many apps, it drains battery life quickly and slows down your mobile which results in heating, sometimes not responding to touch, hangs & Restarts often. Use clean master app or similar to free up storage space, it cleans junk files like ad junk, cache junk, empty folders etc. Hope it helps.
Deletemy smart phone is micro-max canvas engage . it hangs every time when i try to run an offline app for long time. at this moment the off screen button , the back button initiates automatically terminating all the applications and freezing the phone for a while. ihave to continuously restart to normalize itbut still some time later the problem keeps popping back. please suggest any remedies. i would be highly obliged.
ReplyDeleteYour phone has 512MB ram which is not enough if are running too large size apps, multi tasking, resulting in frequent app crash. Even a phone with 2GB ram heats up, slows down and battery drains quickly too when running a heavy app. Terminate other apps in background when you want to use heavy apps, uninstall apps which you don't use. Format your phone once. Come back with results.
