Managing the RAM

What does “RAM” stand for ? It’s simply – Random Access Memory. It is basically a place where the data items or processes are stored for quick retrieval. This is helpful when an application is kept aside ( not closed ) and you are in need of doing something else. It can be also referred as a temporary storage place which facilitates multi-tasking.

This awesome creating needs a good care always. If your android device is low on RAM, then you are most likely to encounter lags on your device. But that doesn’t mean that you should keep it clean. Because cleaning it unnecessarily can slow down your device. Don’t believe ? Check out here how cleaning RAM unnecessarily harms your device.

You can easily manage your RAM by testing its limit (i.e when your device lags). If your device doesn’t lag at all, then you do not need to manage the RAM. But whenever you observe a lag on your device, do not reboot your phone. Rebooting will only solve the problem for a while, and you will again observe that your device lags after sometime. So, when you feel that your device lags, traverse your way to the running processes list (Settings -> Apps -> Running processes).

There you will find the status of the RAM, showing how much of it is free or used up. Now, look for the processes or apps which use the maximum memory. Temporarily stop the process manually or consider uninstalling it, if you can live without it.

 The one who drains your battery faster, may help          you out in providing a smoother Gaming

Normally, Android gamers want their device lag free while playing the game. Well, now the task killers come useful. You can use a phone booster or specifically game booster, which clears all the processes and gives enough memory for the game to work without lag.

Note : Use of task-killers is only encouraged before playing a game which normally lags. If the game works smooth all the time, you don’t need a companion on your device to drain your battery more faster while you play the game.

It’s a good question to ask a user, but don’t you think you are one of them ? Yes ! Ofcourse you are ! You don’t need any programming skills to become an Android developer.
