[quote author=olarababi post=56871231]These type of apps were useful 4-5 years before when Android had Kitkat running as its latest OS. At that time, Android wasn’t good at managing its system efficiently. But now as of today, the devices are running Marshmallow and Nougat. The apps mentioned below will only cause trouble and make the system unstable. They were sure helpful in the past but now they are nothing but history. 5 Types Of App You Should Stop Using Now 1. Battery Saver Apps None of the battery saver apps available in the Google Play Store are any good for our devices. Why? Well, the main reason they don’t do what they say. Battery saver apps will only drain your phone’s battery more by running in the background. Moreover, they will consume RAM and make the system a whole lot slower especially if you are running a low-end processor under the hood. Let me actually tell you what battery saver apps do to boost our device’s battery life. The answer is nothing. The reason is simple they start to kill apps running in the background to prevent battery consumption. However, the point is useless because the apps will automatically reopen anyway. See that is how the Android system works. The only way to increase battery life is to decrease the demand for energy by the Android OS and all the apps and services running in the background. This is impossible especially if you have no technical knowledge on how the Android system functions. Plus it will require root access. So here is the question, is there any way to increase battery life? Well, possible solutions include removing battery savers and keeping the apps that you really use. Uninstall the apps that you don’t need, this will surely spare you some extra battery life. [/url] 2. RAM Clearing Apps Like battery savers, these apps are useless too. They not only consume RAM by running in the background but they also impact the battery life. This leads to slower performance and frustration. RAM clearing apps Force Stop the apps and services running in the background which again will reopen. This consumes RAM as well as battery and makes the OS unstable. If you are a user who loves to do multitasking then you should uninstall these types of apps right away. Android is efficient in managing itself and knows what apps and services to run in the background. #Puffing sure perfect browser |

olarababi: Your info is not complete. All listed apps come as built-in app/function in some Phones/Roms like miui by xiaomi,amigo by Gionee,Lewa and some custom rom. |

that's why I hate battery duo saver and the likes.. they are all rubbish they drain your battery and reduce the life span of your phone... use malwarebytes and stubborn trojan remover to scan my phone twice in a week to detect anything unusual and delete them afterwards.. nice one op.. |

Mafia4life:nope, Google play isnt completely safe; infact it has quite a reasonable number of spyware and trojans. Everything Else issokay |
Re: 5 Types Of Apps You Should Stop Using Now by mmb(m): 8:14am On May 26, 2017 |
olarababi:PLease how safe is Root Master APK? I want to install it on my phone. |
Re: 5 Types Of Apps You Should Stop Using Now by dominique(f): 8:16am On May 26, 2017 |
phemmyfour: I only recently installed the avast when my phone almost had a virus attack. The antivirus is only consuming too much data and battery and RAM space, I'm seriously contemplating removing it. |

The antivirus part got my attention....so why do they develop antivirus for mobile? |
Re: 5 Types Of Apps You Should Stop Using Now by Lexusgs430: 8:23am On May 26, 2017 |
danyero: No I have not. But Malwarebytes on PC & SMARTPHONE is an invaluable addition to enhance security. |
Re: 5 Types Of Apps You Should Stop Using Now by GoodYYor: 8:24am On May 26, 2017 |
phemmyfour:oga, antivirus does not do anything.....it just occupies space.... . . . Includung useless clean master.....it it because of the cleaning animation in the app that u are mad over of......that is just animation....it is completely useless |
Re: 5 Types Of Apps You Should Stop Using Now by 4peace(m): 8:27am On May 26, 2017 |
GoodYYor: So clean master is only cleaner app or is duo only battery saver in the market. Btw clean master is the maker of miui rom cleaner app. |
Re: 5 Types Of Apps You Should Stop Using Now by phemmyfour: 8:28am On May 26, 2017 |
GoodYYor:like what do you do online other than download apps from playstore. What else does clean master do? I guess you don't know that you can use it to back up apps. Don't just follow thread written with bias mind |
Re: 5 Types Of Apps You Should Stop Using Now by GoodYYor: 8:33am On May 26, 2017 |
phemmyfour:oga, y do i need clean master to backup my apps while i can titanium backip to bacakip both my app and the data |

Re: 5 Types Of Apps You Should Stop Using Now by 9jatatafo(m): 8:46am On May 26, 2017 |
Mafia4life: Some trojan killers are good because Trojans tend to check install from unknown source thereby taking control of the device. some Antiviruses put this to check |
Re: 5 Types Of Apps You Should Stop Using Now by MirandaShaw(f): 8:51am On May 26, 2017 |
Nice, didn't know about some of them |

Re: 5 Types Of Apps You Should Stop Using Now by funshiba(m): 9:34am On May 26, 2017 |
I find this very on point, one of the most educative post. These applications mess up my phones so badly that i dont have control anymore (Trojan etc)....Since I got my curent phone I dont even bother... |
Re: 5 Types Of Apps You Should Stop Using Now by realestniggah: 9:35am On May 26, 2017 |
andriod is very secure so i dont use these thing..it was the early days of andriod that i had clean master and duo battery saver..duo battery saver was a rip off..did noting..just drain my battery and consume my precious ram.well android is very well advance now..with andriod marshmallow you have battery saver on it..that works effectively very well ..all clean master does is to clean your cache which you can do yourself.. andriod is the most secure OS ever forget antivirus ..we are no longer in the days of java phones and Symbian phone that can easily get affected with virus..the only way you can get virus on your phone is if you go clicking on pop up website which are full of malware. have been using my andriod 4.4 kit kat version for over 2 years now without any problem or virus. |
Re: 5 Types Of Apps You Should Stop Using Now by UjSizzle(f): 9:41am On May 26, 2017 |
realestniggah:Java phones weren't prone to virus attacks. People just thought so and downloaded useless apps. And Android isn't the most secure OS ever either |
