hi guys welcome back to the Tex chap now
as tempting as those shiny new iPad pros
are many of us prefer the flexibility
the customization and the variety of
Android tablets so whether you own a
nexus 7 a galaxy tab s asus zenfone or
one of the many other great android
tablets on the market here's how to keep
your tablet feeling fast and fresh
first things first check for software
and app updates you probably only do
this but it can't hurt to every now and
then go to the about page in the
Settings app and manually check to see
if there are any new updates for Android
keeping the software and apps up to date
is the best way to ensure your tablet is
as fast and reliable as possible but if
your tablet is still feeling a bit
sluggish there are a few things we can
do first of all get rid of any
unnecessary widgets depending on the
type of widget and what information or
app shortcut they're providing the
regularly update and can use a fair bit
of your tablet's RAM and processing
power so maybe hang on to the clock but
get rid of those whether in social media
widgets the next tip is a little bit
more complicated but don't worry anyone
can do it only takes a few seconds what
we're going to do is reduce the length
of animations you see when you tap on
icons open the app drawer swipe between
home screens and things like that so go
to your Settings app scroll down to
about device tap on software information
and then find the build number once you
see it tap it seven times in a row to
unlock the developers options then worry
it's safe and where you go change a
couple of things but with developer mode
unlocked go back to the main settings
page and then open the developer
settings scroll down until you see
window translation and animated scale
options change all three to 0.5 times
animation scale that's it job done now
go back to your home screen and you'll
find everything feels a little bit
faster have a swipe around and sleep
yourself I think you'll be able to tell
everything now seems a bit quicker now
my next tip might not make a whole lot
of sense to begin with but basically we
want to see what apps are draining the
most battery once again go to the
settings open the battery settings and
then tap on battery usage if you scroll
down you'll see a list of apps that are
joining the most battery obviously
things at the screen and Android will be
pretty big battery users but if you see
a particular app or game maybe something
like Spotify or Facebook the chances are
if it's draining a lot of battery it may
also be having an impact on your
tablet's performance so try to cut down
when you use these apps or a good tip in
the case of Facebook in particular which
is infamous for being a bit of a power
hog is to install the app and then
instead at a bookmark for the mobile
website on Chrome or whichever browser
you're using to the home screen and use
it through that it might not be quite as
polished or as fast but it will improve
your battery and hopefully speed things
up as well if things are still feeling a
little bit slow installing a third-party
launcher could give your tablet that
speed boost it desperately needs
download and install one of the popular
launchers like Google now or Nova which
not only lets you customize the theme
and wallpapers icons and animations of
your tablet but almost always makes it
feel faster and more responsive most are
free but you can offer an upgrade to a
pro version if you'd like but
importantly it doesn't require you to
move your device so let's say you tried
everything and still your tablet isn't
running properly try a factory reset
it's a bit of a pain in the arse
downloading apps and signing in to
everything again but a full reset and a
clean start might just do the trick in
clearing out some of the apps you never
use and getting rid of cache data and
generally just starting fresh it's easy
to do just go to settings backup and
reset and then tap on factory data reset
make sure you do backup any photos or
contacts you want to keep but then give
it a go and hopefully your tablet should
come back feeling faster than ever
hopefully these tips and tricks will
help you make your Android tablet feel a
bit nice to use but if it is a few years
old and perhaps the hardware is getting
on a bit it may be worth investing in a
new one but if you've got any tips that
I've missed down how to improve your
