Sometimes there are network certain rumours that push us to keep some applications with our mobile devices which are not needed, either or are directly harmful. Today we collect a series of recommendations to maintain the safety and performance of an Android tablet to the lung and discard the false myths that may harm rather than benefit.
Close multitasking applications
We are talking about Android, but iOS is a similar case. An Executive of the company’s Apple confirmed what we already suspected: close multitasking applications or use any tool to automatically close only makes returning to launch them is you have to start from scratch, investing in the process many more resources that are used if just let that service is in the background Since all occupies is RAM, and the system is able to manage it without that we should intervene.
Install apk files if we are not sure
If you are not sure of the origin of a file in best to resist to install on our device. If you need to download something that is not in the Google Play Store, best thing is to go directly to the official Developer’s website or the app’s and before that, have contrasted the views and experiences of other users (a simple search is enough) to know that you can rely on the service. It is not worth exposing us to save us one or two euros in an app.
Use anti-virus (more than one in particular)
Even so, if by the issue that is believe that it is important to have an antivirus, also be advisable to take a comprehensive search to determine what is important to us. Google engineers are clear that the way to preserve our terminal is not installing software suspicious, and that an antivirus will be able to save us from truly residual cases infection. At the same time, these tools consume much RAM and battery since working constantly on the second plane. With the antivirus on the tablet so does that in a computer: both at the same time generate incompatibilities.
Ignore software updates
It is advisable in the case of applications (although sometimes developers break something that worked to perfection, in the majority of cases is to the contrary), but with respect to updates of the operating system becomes an absolute priority. These new packages usually repaired new safety deficiencies or that have been detected with the passage of time. The less adviseable to update, more secure we will work.
Keep the tablet glowing indefinitely
Although it is true that the positive side of a tablet on a computer is that we can have it on long periods and take hold of it directly when need it to. Even so, restart the device periodically (once a week, for example), the memory will be cleaned cache of services that we do not use too e can even cut the course of some task that has been “hooked“. That said, a reboot, without having to obsess, is generally healthy for our tablet.
