A phone that crashes is more than frustrating; it can reveal issues with functionality or memory that need to be addressed. DFNDR offers a Memory Booster feature that works to improve your experience with your phone\u2019s RAM. Speed up your device by clicking the button below, to run the Memory Booster performance feature on any Android device:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"psafe:\/\/launch\/memory_booster\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10288\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-10288\" src=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/tap-for-a-memory-boost-1-300x55.jpg\" alt=\"tap-for-a-memory-boost\" width=\"300\" height=\"55\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/tap-for-a-memory-boost-1-300x55.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/tap-for-a-memory-boost-1.jpg 428w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/center><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Memory Booster closes background apps in order to improve your phone\u2019s performance. This feature can prevent crashes or lock ups, which proves useful in emergency situations, emergency retrieval, or any other reason you need access to your phone\u2019s functions quickly. Still, there are ways to detect these issues with crashing before they occur. Here are a few reasons Androids fail to perform:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.psafe.com\/en\/blog\/common-android-viruses\/\"><b>Here Are the Most Common Android Viruses<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><b> Too Much Data is Being Used<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applications, especially those requiring the use of other apps and the Internet, take up more room than you may realize. Photos and RAM space will use precious gigabytes that should be used for performance features, instead of present storage. If a phone is fighting to open an application because other apps dominate the space provided, check the amount of storage used for individual functions and see what can be repurposed.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><b> A Virus is Affecting Your Phone<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a worst-case scenario, but malware or other harmful data may be clogging your device, preventing it from running smoothly. When a user explores untrustworthy apps or websites, it provides an opportunity for harmful viruses to enter the device, threatening personal information as well as the hardware itself. Performing periodic virus checks is essential to maintaining the proper health of your Android.

That could be the issue. If it is not necessary for push notifications or app updates to remain on, shut them off in settings. That way, the device will not take extra steps to send alerts that can eat up RAM and memory. This will also come in handy when traveling because it will remove the temptation to check your phone while driving or navigating, increasing the safety of everyone involved. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Solutions can be achieved in a variety of ways, including item transfers, deleting apps, changing certain application features, or even basic device functions such as brightness and notifications. By taking the necessary actions to preserve your Android, crashes will be nonexistent and it will allow for smooth operations until the next upgrade!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Has your phone been lagging behind and freezing?
