Got a phone that feels slow or a battery that dies too soon? Most of the time the fix is right in the device – you just need to know where to look. Below are quick actions that make any Android or iOS handset run smoother, take better photos, and let you stream live TV without lag.
Start with the power settings. Turn off background refresh for apps you rarely use and limit location access to "while using the app" instead of "always." A one‑tap swipe in the quick settings panel to enable battery saver during the evening can add a couple of extra hours.
Next, clear cached data once a month. On Android, go to Settings > Storage > Cached data and tap to clear it. On iPhone, delete and reinstall apps that hog storage. This frees up RAM and helps the system launch apps faster.
Most phones hide pro‑mode tricks. Swipe to the manual settings, tap the ISO number, and lower it in bright light for cleaner shots. Use the grid overlay to align horizons – no need for a tripod for decent landscape photos.
If you love live Indian channels on your TV, the best Android TV apps are YuppTV, Airtel Xstream, and Tata Sky Mobile. All three offer a seven‑day free trial, so test each to see which UI you prefer. YuppTV has the widest channel list, while Tata Sky Mobile is the cheapest if you only need a few favorites.
Streaming doesn’t have to drain your battery. Plug the phone into the TV’s USB port while you watch. This supplies power and lets you use the remote control app on your phone for navigation, turning your handset into a handy remote.
Don’t forget to calibrate the display for accurate colors. On Android, open Settings > Display > Advanced > Color correction and choose "Natural" for a balanced look. On iPhone, go to Settings > Display & Brightness > Night Shift and set a schedule to reduce eye strain.
Finally, keep your OS updated. Each new version brings security patches and performance tweaks that can improve how the phone handles multitasking. If you’re on a budget device, enable automatic updates so you never miss a small but useful fix.
With these straightforward tweaks, your smartphone will feel faster, stay powered longer, and deliver a richer media experience – all without spending a dime on new hardware.
