Put m inside hot water

Too many background apps that are not really necessary slow down your phone's performance.

Go to "Settings", click on "Apps", scroll right to "Running Apps". You'll see all the background apps that are currently running in your phone. Click on the ones you don't need, then close them.

Note:

*Whenever you restart your phone, those apps may start running again. You can just follow the same process and turn them off

*You can do this in all android phones, not only Technos

Good luck

A quick google search shows your device has 512MB of RAM.
You have too many apps. Uninstall some apps.
Hint: Uninstall redundant apps: apps that perform the same function.

aiite...will do jst dat,tnx

installed Apps don't necessarily make your phone hang, its running Apps that do that.

so first off, don't use heavily customized launcher, launchers that use animations as background pic. always clear your ram,


amother is Whatsapp, yes Whatsapp does this a lot, so if you can, clear your whatsapp memory and don't restore back messages, but if you seriously need the back up messages restore them.
but notbrestoring them would improve your phones speed.
and lastly when you're done with any app mostly games, close it entirely by force closing or other means.

don't just minimize amd think its gone.

do the above n your phone's speed would improve.
