The RAM is usually very limied. It mus be ensured that a sufficient
amount of memory (RAM) is always available. Otherwise, the
phone reacts very sluggish, applications can not boot or crash and
cause new apps installation failure. Please note RAM can not be
expanded.
The majority of the internal drive memory is already occupied by
the operation system and pre-installed applications. These can’t be
removed without proper root privilges. Please note, warranty
expires if the devices was rooted self-employed.
The ROM can be expanded by using a SD card. Many applications
can be installed directly to the SD card after download. However,
each application will still store some data automatically on the
ROM. Unfortunately, some applications can not be moved to the
SD card as these do not work properly from there.
Here are some tips for setting your Phicomm smartphone to save
storage space:
1. Apps that start automatically
Surely you use applications where it is desireable that these
start immediately after switching on the phone. Other hand,
numerous applications are preinstalled that you do not use. The
social network apps for example mostly use a huge part of ROM
and RAM.
With app “Startup Manager” from Google Play™ you can assign
any application easily whether it should start automatically or
not. Please only deactivate the automatic start if you are sure
of the mode of action. Otherwise, the function of your
smartphone might be limited.
2. Monitor background processes
In most cases the background processes of the apps
contributeto a decrease of performance. With the Android
Assitant” from Google™, monitor such processes and close
unneccessary applications.
