Why is my Xperia SP so slow?

gino76ph — Fri, 27 Dec 2013 20:59:17 GMT

Hi.

Bought a brand new pay-as-you-go Xperia SP on EE. But a few days ago had an Alcatel One Touch Idol S with specs lower than the SP.

But i noticed that the Idol S is relatively faster than the Xperia SP in terms of initial startup, downloading/installing apps, opening/closing and flicking thru homescreens.

I wonder why is that?

Any advice please?

Your SP is relatively new?Are you using task killers,free ram apps any other apps like this?Do you restart it regularly?

Well, i don't have task killer or any free RAM apps. (Maybe you can recommend something for me) I don't even know if they do help actually. But i always made sure there are no apps running at the background. Does that help?

Yes,try to force close apps you do not use.Also,disable phone functions like wifi,bluetooth,data when not using them.Do not use taskkillers or free ram apps.Tap the home button longer,you can remove recent apps from a kind of task manager.Restart the phone regularly,it is essential for Android.For any other things,you can search this forum or ask us.

I always make sure that Bluetooth/GPS/NFC/Etc. are turned off of course. I know about that long time ago. I turn the brightness down as well. The multitasking bar on the home buttons i make sure i close those apps.

Anything else i might have missed?

For now,nothing else.Make sure to charge your phone until you get the full charged in phone status.If you have any other issues,you know where to come.

Is it safe to charge even if it's not full 0%? Or leave it charging for 8 hours overnight if it's near 0%?

Charge it when the battery is between 0-10%,I do not advice people to fully discharge the phone.But you may look for other helpful tips on the internet.

I found there is no way to disable them under Settings. Any help here?

I think you need to unistall updates first,then the disable button should appear.

Go to settings-apps-all,select the app you want to disable,uninstall updates(it is a button),after that you should get the button disable.

It only says "Force Stop" or "Uninstall". No Disable option.

And on the 3 small dots on the upper corner there is no such thing as say "Stop All" or something like "Stop Few".

Then I really don't know,you can try to force close those apps.However,they will activate every time the phone is restarted.

Because you are either using a lof of apps without closing the previous,or you do not restart your phone regularly,so the RAM is not refreshed.
