10 ways to speed up your Samsung Galaxy S8 (S8+)

Speed up Samsung Galaxy S8/ S8 Plus
Ways to improve speed and performance of Samsung Galaxy S8/S8 Plus
Tip 1: Change performance mode
The Galaxy S8 ships with its default set to ‘Optimized’ use. It means that your processor is working at an optimized level and not in its super power mode. Change it to ‘Game mode’ which scales up performance of the processor but it also eats up a bit extra off your battery - but i’m guessing you won’t have problems with that compromise as long as performance is better.
Tip 2: Lower the resolution
Higher the solution the more taxing it is for your processor to fill more detail onto your screen. Go into settings, display and then screen resolution - and drag the slider down to FHD+. If it was already on FHD+, then drag it down to HD+ to save even more battery than you alredy were.
Your device should definitely speed up & also save you some battery.
Tip 3: Uninstall unnecessary apps
I know this one is a given but i’m surprised by how people don’t do this at all. Go into your application manager and select the ‘all’ tab. And the best way to do that is to install Easy Uninstaller which lets you uninstall multiple apps in one go.
So I suggest you go through the list of all the apps that you have - keep checking the ones that you don’t use and please be honest with yourself while doing that. And then hit uninstall. That’s it.
Restart your phone once after you do this and you might not see a huge jump in speed - but you’d notice that your phone would not lag as often as it used to.
Tip 4: Clear the cache frequently
Now I know what you’re thinking. Cache is pretty much what you need to speed up in the firsr place. Well actually that is true but it’s not exactly the same. The cache in our smartphone also stores information that helps loads content on your smartphone faster. For e.g. If I open my instagram right now or flipboard or Facebook - you’d see that all my content has loaded and there is no image loading. That’s because - all of these pictures have been cached.
Now - this makes browsing through my app faster - but does not make my phone fast.
Having said that, you need to clear your cache because it does bulk up, become corrupted and run into other unexpected issues. This can cause your phone to act up. Clear it once every month.
Go to settings, device maintenance and hit ‘optimize now’. But please note - you might seem like your device is a bit slower after this. That’s ok - because that’s only going to happen initially as your smartphone starts to re-download new stuff in the beginning into your cache.
Tip 5: Activate Download booster
Did you know that you could use your Wi-fi internet speed and your telecom data speed together simultaneously to increase your downloading speed. Just go into settings, connections, more connection settings and hit ‘Download Booster’.
Tip 6: Remove widgets
While this should really not be the case considering how powerful S8 is - but if your phone is absolutely sluggish - then you must remove the widgets. Widgets are loaded every time you open your home-screen or unlock your phone and depending on the type of widget - they might be quite resource intensive too as they keep fetching data.
Tip 7: Limit background processes
Your phone is always doing stuff in the background and when these processes pile up they can really slow your device down. Good thing is, you can limit them to keep performance at maximum.
Tip 8: Reduce animation scales
And this one is one of those that instantly show you the difference. Animations can be made faster and that gives you the feeling that it your phone has infact become faster. Go into settings and change animation settings for all of them down to 0.5x. You will now see a significant bump in the speeds with which your apps open and close. The phone dialer is going to come up faster. Just everything in general is going to seem faster now.
Tip 9: Don’t keep activities.
This is a big one. Android’s multi-tasking prowess is impressive. But it is also one of the reasons why they slow down over a period of time. The don’t keep activities developer setting stops apps from running in the background when closed or switched and that keeps your RAM memory free to use elsewhere.
Tip 10: wipe the phone.

[@OfficialNaye]

Thank you!

[@SamirSamir-oq1km]

With regard to removing apps and which to uninstall. I wish if you could've given more details on that, because on Apps' list there are things like (Always On Display, Authentication Framework, Beaming Service, Briefing, ConfigAPK, Facebook App Installer etc. etc.) I don't have a clue what are these for, at the same time, they've got sort of system like/or Android icons, i do know that i don't use them, but I don't know if it will cause issues if i do remove them. Pls advice. Thanks for the video

[@chahmad3738]

Amazing bro

[@ancientdots8162]

It's like overclocking it's genius!

[@OgboDanger]

So helpful

[@lightisgreaterthandarkness]

Honestly, if you have a Galaxy S8/S8+ that *LAGS* there is something wrong... One thing I have seen that seems to universally slow down phones or create issues is the Facebook app. I don't use Facebook so whenever someone who has Facebook uses my phone they ALWAYS ask "how is your phone so fast?". It could be the same phone, same carrier and same condition of device... BUT slower. Anyone else notice this?

[@DanielLopezlopno]

Light is greater than darkness that's a really interesting theory that I had not considered. It makes some sense considering the background update and its connections. Nice one.

[@indianpcgamer1787]

I have my pixel 2 xl and I have FB and Instagram,etc still doesn't lag. My s8+ and note8 lags like hell even if I don't have these apps

[@bhavinkumar4359]

Light is greater than darkness kzbin.info/www/bejne/laCbc5yhfNGtjKM

[@zachstetson7325]

yes it the apps and background processes people use different app and have notifications and different settings. and carriers have different default app on phone carrier and phones are not identical.

[@quillanedward-portar3072]

All you need to do really is remove a sh¡t load of apps or either factory reset your device. Just be sure to write down your account info for everything you use. Trust me, I learned that the hard way after losing one of my 1 year google accounts for a game that I signed in.

[@LouieLouieUSMC]

[@nadunlochana2956]

April 2018 ..my s8 is still blazing fast. Faster than it was since Android Oreo came out.. if your S8 has slowed down you may need to look at what kinda apps you install on your phone and how often you clean it up

[@mobiscrub]

+Trolly Ventures go to settings, about photo, software info and tap on build info 7 times. Developer options will get unlocked

[@pradeep2662]

how cute..

[@JeffreySutton]

Thank you for the tips, but some of the tips that you gave take away the very reason I switched from iPhone to Android 5 months ago. I wanted to use widgets, multitasking, higher quality screen, etc. And here we are in the year 2017 still having two limit the phone's capabilities just to make it run faster and smoother and to conserve battery. This is the reason why people gravitate towards the iPhone. I have been enjoying my Samsung Galaxy S8, but I am discouraged by what you need to do to keep it running efficiently.

[@mobiscrub]

+Jeffrey Sutton nope. You got this wrong. The difference is that the s8 or any other android phone gives you the option of doing all this to further boost performance. The iphone doesn't even give you an option let alone adding features like these. The reason I put this out is because for people who don't need the widgets and multi taking tasking, can switch these off and enjoy even more performance. That doesn't mean the performance of the device is bad otherwise.

why the fvck do you have to bring the resolution down just to not to have your 800$ phone slow down ? AY samsung AYYYYYY

[@13gta]

Zvoy Arakel it's not the phone it's the touch wiz Samsung puts on it android phones are super fast but the problem is touchwiz over time it makes your phone slower that's why my Samsung has no touch wiz I stripped it and I'm running regular andriod with a bit of my touch

[@Verefara.]

How did you manage to remove the touchwiz mate ? Is it possible to install pure android on s8+ ?

[@alexyew2306]

i want to speed up my phone not save battery.

[@holajosue500]

Only S8/S8+ with exynos have slow downs but those who has SD835 don't have any problem

[@13gta]

Aman Arora let me rephrase that it hasn't lagged ever

[@richardclark6113]

Aren't you the smartest guy!
