Brief History Of Android

Android was developed by Android Inc. in Palo Alto, California. The company was founded in October 2003 by Andy Rubin, Rich Miner, Nick Sears and Chris White. They originally intended to develop an operating system for digital cameras. However, when they realized that the digital camera market was not big enough, they switched to a smartphone operating system to compete with Symbian and Windows Mobile while Apple iPhone had not been released at the time. In the same year, Andy Rubin ran out of money so on August 17, 2005, Google acquired Android Inc. After the acquisition, Google still retain they key employees of Android Inc., including Rubin, Miner and White. Since that time Android is rapidly growing and developing its mobile device platform.

10 Tips To Help Improve Your Android's Performance

1. Stop syncing
syncing uses a good chunk of your RAM and battery. Be selective and you’ll notice massive improvements in nearly all areas of your phone’s
performance.


2. Remove Rogue Files
Use a file explorer application, like ES File Explorer File Manager or Astro File Manager, to clean up loose documents and take a closer look at some of the rogue fi les that are clogging up your device.


3.Use Compatible Memory Cards
Having a compatible or the correct memory card in your smartphone can help take some of the burden off the internal storage in alot of ways. Dont know if you have noticed this but a packed phone can feel slow, unresponsive and generally unpleasant to use.


4. Defrag
Defragging is a quick way of removing the junk files that are hogging some of your phone’s precious RAM. There are alot of Defragging Apps on the PlayStore but my favourite one at the moment is Cache Clean Easy - Optimize


5. Switch Off Your Animations
Animations are one of the culprits which are wasting your phone's RAM.. So, disabling them will definitely free up some RAM which can be used by apps and other important process running in the background. To cut the RAM-dependent
animations dotted all over your phone, go into the
Developer options menu within your Settings and find
the Animation tabs located halfway down. Be sure to tick both boxes to disable these animations on your device.


6. Root Your Device
Rooting is a great way to explore different options when it comes to performance improvements.
It’s easier to streamline background functions and
boost overall battery life.
There’s alot of custom ROMs to choose from, but
CyanogenMod remains the best out there.
I will elaborate more what Rooting is all about in another post for those who are new to Rooting.


7. Restrict Background Data
You’ll be surprised by just how many things are impacting
on your phone’s performance if you take a look at what’s happening in the background. Open the Data usage tab
in the Settings menu and see for yourself!! If you want to restrict background data, go in ''Settings" then ''Data Usage" where you'll find a "Restrict Background Data" checkbox


8. Disable Automatic Update Option In The Playstore
If you have the automatic update option enabled in the Google Play Store, turn it off right now! Why? Well, you’ll find that your Android smartphone is constantly updating apps and will undoubtedly lead to it feeling slow and hard to use.


9. Malware Nightmares
No matter what type of antivirus your phone may have,
it’ll seriously impact on how your phone functions.
Perform regular virus scans of your device and only download apps and other media from trusted sources. get all your downloads from the Playstore or CyaWapDownloads from now on and stay Virus/Malware free. But if you want the lightest antivirus for your phone which doesn't eat alot of RAM then you should seriously consider trying Antivirus Free-Mobile Security



10. Boost Your Phone's Battery
The battery life on some Android devices is average at best and that includes mine, so it’s important to get the best out of every charge.
Download a battery booster app from the Google Play
store or CyaWapDownloads and perform a scan to find where it can be improved.
More battery saving tips will be explained in one of our future posts because thats the main problem with Smartphones these days.

Google to launch Android M this year, here's what to expect!!





Although the newest Android version, first codenamed L, then baptized Lollipop, rolled out roughly 12 months, Google is already putting some final touches and tweaks on its New Android OS called Android M (or Android 6.0). Android 5.0 Lollipop might have only arrived to 10 percent of devices so far, which means KitKat is still the most popular Android OS to date but attention is now turning towards the next version which is expected to arrive today at Google's I/O, with improved notification features, as well as better battery management.

Here's what i've heard so far about Android M.


Battery management
Google is rumored to be developing the way Android checks your location, as well as how it manages RAM, to improve battery life on Android M.   

Security
As smartphones continue to be used for almost anything these days, security is something which grows ever-more important. Google recently introduced a "find my phone" feature to Chrome, and a "kill switch" option in Android 5.1 to make stolen phones useless, and now it seems like it will include one-touch login for supported apps in Android M.
Check one of my posts which explains the "find my phone" in detail if you missed it.

Improved Notifications
A little bird told me that Google is working hard on how to improve notifications and unify them across all platforms. 

Android Wear
There is no doubt Android M will undoubtedly bring some improvements to how smartwatches and smartphones interact. 

Smart Home
Now this will be an increasingly important feature of Android, with complete control over your connected devices at home and in the office via Nest and other third-party makers.

I dont know about you but i cant wait to get all the facts about android M because the wait is killing me, i'll put up another post dedicated to Android M after its official launch which is just a few hours away.
