[Angrry.exe™]

Which applications consume the battery as soon as possible? What are the applications that require the highest data traffic? Here are some questions you'll find the answer to this article to have an Android phone as fluently as possible.

It's a real adventure to have an Android phone that works just as well and has the same autonomy as when you bought it, and that's what happens without you doing something wrong.

The performances of an Android smartphone decrease over time due to the installation of applications that are not properly optimized, which is why they consume lots of battery power, require high data traffic or simply need a lot of processing resources, which which affects general performance.

Fortunately, there are some simple ways to find out which applications are most likely to affect your smartphone's performance.

How do I find the applications that consume the most battery?

To find out which are the most battery-consuming applications, just go into the Android - Android - System - Battery menu on your Android phone. Here is the status of the battery and, depending on the type of phone and software, a prediction about autonomy. In addition, here you can see the most energy-intensive applications in percent.

It is important to note that this "ranking" depends very much on how much you usually use the installed applications. So, if you notice battery-consuming applications, a solution is to uninstall them and replace them with the same functionality if possible.

AVG Security Solutions Producer has produced a number of interesting statistics based on how users use their smartphones and the results are far from surprising: among the most battery-consuming applications that are po[CENSORED]r in Romania too counts, in this order, Facebook, Waze, WhatsApp, OLX, and the Amazon Kindle, so the top is dominated by socializing applications.

How do I find the applications that consume the most data?

Some applications consume a lot of data traffic, which is why you can find that you have easily exceeded the amount included in the subscription or card option. To find out which are the most traffic-intensive applications on your phone, go to the Settings - Network Connections - Data Usage menu, where you can see statistics for specific periods.

The AVG study confirms that social-based applications are top, but there are some surprises. So, in order, the applications that need the most data traffic and are po[CENSORED]r in Romania are Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram and Yahoo Weather.

How do I find the applications that most affect my performance?

Unlike the previous two scenarios, there is no tool to show how many resources a particular application uses. However, if you install an app and suddenly notice a slowdown in Android, it means that the app is consuming too much power, and in such a situation I recommend you uninstall it.

Generally, an Android phone will work harder as you install more and more apps, as many of them run in the background, turn on after a restart, and even consume data traffic without using them.

That's why I recommend that you uninstall apps you do not currently use, an important step, including freeing up memory on your Android phone.

According to the AVG study, the applications that most affect the performance of an Android smartphone and are po[CENSORED]r in Romania are Facebook, Instagram, SoundCloud, Amazon Kindle and Vine.

conclusions

Identifying the most resource-intensive apps on Android is a first step necessary to make your phone more fluid.

Exiting power-consuming applications helps you get better autonomy, and uninstalling those that require increased data traffic helps you fit within the limits of your pricing plan. Last but not least, try to identify apps that affect performance.

This way you have more chances to keep an Android as clean as possible to deliver a level of performance close to the one you bought the phone. And if all of this has no effect, maybe it is the reason to do a factory reset.
