Reasons why most smart phones hang

Storage space

So many of us easily forget memory or storage space is programmed just like that of human brain. What this means is if you store more than what the storage can carry, your phone will start having running slow issues.

Solution;

Never over load your phone storage capacity. If for example your phone memory is met for only 100 videos with each 200BM, do download up to the 100 videos, keep it around 75 to 80 videos maximum. This can help the operating system run smoothly.

 

Over using your phone

Most times we don’t even care how long our phones have been in use. Using your phone even when it is very hot is never a good idea. Some of us can press our phones for as long as 3-6 hours, while some can take that long to use it while the phone is still connected to power source, giving the phone extra work. Using you phone for long can make it hot and will lead to hanging/slow.

 

Solution;

Stop using your phone when it is connected to power source. Another thing is always ensure the phone does not get hot always. Have more than one phone if you work with your phone.

Virus/corrupted files

Another thing that makes our smart phones to hang or run slow is corrupted files. Another name to call these files is virus. It can be an app, a video or even song. Corrupted files like the ones mentioned above can make your phone to hang.

Solution;

Go to play store or any other app store to download anti-virus app and use it to scan your phone often.

Check your phone to see if you have videos or songs that refused to play or play awhile and stop, if you find any, make sure you delete them out.

Lastly, be very careful where you download things from on the internet. When I say things, I mean anything downloadable, be it song, video application. So files carries virus in them.

The use of RAM and ROM

Before deciding on which phone to go for, RAM and ROM are the two major parts you should consider. Is before we move further, let’s truly understand what these components means and things they’re meant for.

RAM and ROM are the storage part of your smart phone; they do simpler work in different approach. In very you come across that requires storage; you must see RAM and ROM.

What is RAM?

RAM is the abbreviation of (RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY), in other words, RAM is the storage your phone/device needs to hold onto the current activities in your phone. For example, when you open an app, and at same time start playing music, it is the work of the RAM that enables your phone to hold onto the multiple tasks you’re carrying out.

So in simple terms, RAM is the storage use for storing things for only a short period of time. Now that you know what the RAM is use for, you should know the type of RAM you will go after.

Note: the bigger the RAM, the faster your smart phone can be. You can be on WhatsApp voice call and same time playing video game, but if your phone RAM is not big enough, then you’ll notice your phone will hang most times.

Once you turn off your phone, the stored data will be automatically cleared off and at that point, anything you were doing that was not save will completely clear.

 

What is ROM?

ROM is the abbreviation of READ ONLY MEMORY. This is the type that stores your data for as long as you want. When I mean your data, it can be applications, videos, images, music etc.

If there is no damage to ROM, your data save for any amount years you want. Now ROM does not necessary make your phone to start hanging, it will only show issues if a file you downloaded on the internet carries corrupted file; example; corrupt videos or songs and even any file that carry virus can make your phone hang not really ROM.

What the ROM does steady of hanging, it will give a report telling you that there is not enough space for more data, and it will automatically reject the incoming file.

In the other hand, RAM does the opposite of what ROM can be. Instead of telling you too much tasks, RAM will start slowing your phone down.

Base on what you just learn, you can now decide what size of storage fit the work you want to use the phone for. They both normally rage from 2GB up, you can even see a phone RAM with 24GB to 32GB.

Another important thing you have the back of your mind is, the higher the RAM, the faster it will consume internet data. 2GB phone RAM cannot be compare to 8GB RAM phone in terms of internet data consume.
