The world of technology has quickly changed and witnessed the rise of the Android box. This compact device, bringing with it a huge accessory to the world of apps, games, and online content, gained them a position of popularity in the world of streaming. Of course, just like any gadget, sometimes these Android boxes lag or suffer from performance issues. Of course, the natural first course of action is to find out why. But here, we take a different route and see how you might be able to optimize performance problems you run into with the Android box.
One of the easiest and most efficient means of boosting your Android box performance is keeping its software updated. Firmware updates not only present new features but also eliminate bugs and improve system stability. Under your box’s settings, go to ‘About.’ From there, look for your system update option. Regularly checking and applying updates can definitely benefit your device’s performance, as well as its security.
A multitude of apps are preloaded onto Android boxes; users often add more to these large numbers. The greater the number of apps, though, the slower the device operates, especially if those applications are permitted to continuously operate in the background. Take a moment, then, to question the apps currently installed on your Android box:. If any of them seem no longer useful, feel free to uninstall them. You can also uninstall some of the apps that come pre-installed with the box if you don’t mind a bit of enabled/disabled pathos. Either way, you restore some system resources to the box and improve its performance.
Over time, applications collect cached information that can sap storage capacity and bog down the performance of your Android box. To eliminate the accumulated junk, go to the Settings app, select Apps (or Application Manager), choose the app you want to service, and tap on the button labeled Clear Cache. If you use the app frequently, you might also want to serve it with a Clear Data entrée, but it may also reset the app to its default/starting state.
Storage, on the other hand, can greatly affect an Android box’s performance. Lack of space can cause a system to lag or even make apps crash. You can work around some of these issues by using an external USB drive or SD card—the same kinds of external storage you’d use with a computer—that let you effectively expand your box’s storage space. Media files and less frequently accessed apps can be stored on that external space. Meanwhile, both of you should help out your box’s storage situation by removing app and file clutter.While Wi-Fi is convenient, a wired Ethernet connection can provide a better and faster internet connection, for instance, for watching HDTV content and internet gaming. If possible, connect your Android box directly to your router through an Ethernet cable. You will reduce buffering and even enhance the quality of streaming with this connection.
If you have an Android TV box and you tend to watch mostly streaming content, there’s the potential to really improve your viewing experience with some easy adjustments to your video settings. Start within your streaming app (like Netflix or Hulu) and switch to a video quality that suits your internet connection. If you have a slow internet connection, don’t be embarrassed to drop down to 480p or something similar-that should work with fewer hiccups. Another thing you can do to lighten the load on your internet as well as your box is turn off HDR if your TV does not support it.If your Android TV box runs frequently slow, then the most important step would be to try out an application that can terminate processes in the background. They are helping you close the apps you don’t need which are running in the background and clear RAM for use with apps that you want. Again, exercise extreme caution using them since killing the wrong process might even make your box perform worse.
Just like a computer, your Android box benefits from a regular reboot. Rebooting the device cleans out temporary files, refreshes system resources, and makes everything work better. Get in the habit of rebooting your Android box every few weeks to keep it running at its best.You can really boost your performance of your Android TV box and thus the experience you get from your streaming and gaming by sweating the minor details of keeping the TV box in tip-top shape. Do your regular updates; manage your apps with an eye to what’s necessary; optimize your storage. A few tweaks and changes here—they’re not all in the Settings menu—will make what you get from the box much better. This ensures that the hardware and software of the box work as close to their potential as they can.
