There are several reasons why a mobile can become slow. And although one of them is RAM wear and tear, as a rule, it takes years to happen. The problem are background processes run by mobiles and that on many occasions they end up producing errors that result in slowness, errors in opening applications and running various processes.
And since factory resetting the mobile seems like too drastic a solution, the best is to restart the device with some frequency. and that’s why Samsung adds a setting that does this automatically so we don’t have to realize it. Apart from other things.
A simple action that makes your Galaxy “revive”
Surely you have heard more than once that when faced with problems in an electronic device, someone responds with that of “Have you tried turning it off and on again?”. And beyond the many jokes this case has given (and will give), there’s a reason for that.
Devices such as mobiles run dozens of processes even when blocked. Just because you can’t see them doesn’t mean they don’t exist. And in fact, they are necessary for the proper functioning of the terminal. The problem is when there are too many and for a long time, because they can cause the opposite effect and negatively affect performance.
Samsung therefore adds a parameter that allows the mobile itself to detect the best time to restart, but not a problem. It won’t shut down when you use it, but when it’s completely locked up, with no important processes running in the background, and after several minutes of not using it. To enable this option, you need to follow these steps:
- On your Galaxy mobile, open “Settings”.
- Go to the ‘Maintenance and battery’ section.
- Scroll down to the last section and select “Automatic optimization”.
- Make sure the “Restart if needed” box is checked.
It must be said that, according to Samsung’s own site, this parameter could come out differently. It would be the same thing, but following these steps:
Picture: Samsung
- On your Galaxy mobile, open “Settings”.
- Go to the “Battery and device care” section.
- Click the three dots icon in the top right.
- Now click on ‘Auto Action’.
- Check the “Automatic daily optimization” box.
Similarly, on some Samsung devices it is even possible to set a time for restarts. You can find this option in the same panel as the auto-optimize option and as you can imagine it’s a good idea to set it for dawn or any other time you know you won’t be using your mobile.
I have to say that this function also includes other automatic actions They go through the closing of applications in the background that generate a high consumption of RAM. This way you will ensure that your Samsung Galaxy is always optimized without the problems of not restarting the mobile every day. Although, of course, if that’s something you have in mind, you can also manually restart it whenever you want.
