albertcardona, 4 months ago Public service announcement Here's how to disable background apps in an Android phone: Go to Settings Search for "Developer Options" Enable them at top right Scroll down to "Background process limit" Choose "No background process" or "At most, 1 process". Further down, see also "Standby apps" and adjust their priority as wished. Most should be at rare, restricted, or never. With these edits, even inexpensive, underpowered phones feel snappy. Helps as well to remove altogether any "smart" assistance apps by Samsung. #android

albertcardona, 4 months ago @ach My default setting has always been "no notifications whatsoever". Also, from unusable to snappy is quite the jump.
