How to overcome Samsung HP often hangs, jams, LAG

Teknopedia - Samsung is one of the Android smartphone brands from South Korea that has released many variants of mobile phones from low price to high price. Some of the Samsung phone series that are selling well in Indonesia are A, M and S series. While the other series; like Z and Note are not very popular because the price is relatively expensive. The interesting thing about HP Samsung is the One UI interface which is so comfortable and pleasing to the eye.

For performance issues, it depends on the specs. Owners of flagship smartphones like the S, Z, and Note series will definitely get the maximum performance. Meanwhile, owners of low-end and mid-range smartphones like the A, M, or even J-series will definitely get standard performance. Users complaining about phone issues that often get stuck, freezing and lagging are more common on low-end and mid-range phones with RAM capacities under 3GB and ROM under 32GB.

In addition, the use of cell phones that exceed the limit and do not carry out cell phone maintenance; such as cleaning junk files, closing applications and also optimizing smartphone functions are never done thus affecting the performance of the phone. To better understand this issue, you can see the causes and solutions below.

There are various factors that cause Samsung phones to hang, freeze and lag often; such as excessive multitasking, full RAM, system and application errors, and accumulation of junk files in the internal memory. To be clear, here are some key points you need to understand:

Use your cell phone for too long – Using your cell phone for too long for heavy activities like gaming can also make your Samsung cell phone feel very hot. If this is forced, the Samsung mobile phone may get stuck and lag, even risking damaging the components inside the mobile phone.

System and Application Errors – System and application errors are also inevitable; It could be a hanging and lagging issue, not because the phone specs aren't qualified, but perhaps because the application you're running is still under development or still has bugs.

Too many running apps – Excessive multitasking without looking at the phone's resources/specs can also lead to full RAM memory. This sometimes causes the phone screen to become unresponsive to touch as it hangs and lags. Users have to wait a while for Samsung phone to work normally again.

Internal memory full - You may experience performance degradation due to a full internal memory. Many users don't realize that the cache file buildup on Android phones is so big, bigger than iOS, that you need to clean it regularly, at least once a week or once a month. This is done to keep the HP stable and optimal when in use.

OS upgrade which is actually problematic – Many users regret upgrading their HP OS to the latest version. What was expected was that the phone's performance would be better, but what happened was exactly the opposite. This means there may be bugs in Samsung's One UI. The options are to delete the update or reset your Samsung phone.

How to solve Samsung phones that often hang, jam, lag

To overcome a Samsung phone that often hangs, freezes and lags, there are several tips you can do; from reducing excessive cell phone usage to reducing the use of animations and widgets to using device maintenance features. For more details, see some of the tips and guidelines below.

1. Clear cache files on system and apps

Cache file is one of the temporary files created by the system and installed applications. The presence of cache files aims to optimize system and application performance so that they are lighter and faster. Although very well intentioned, cache files also need cleaning. Because if not, cache files accumulate in the internal memory and can cause the mobile to lag and crash. Cleaning cache files on Samsung phones is also quite easy as you can see below.

Manually clear the cache of apps

Manually clear cache files in the app

• Open the settings menu on your Samsung phone.
• Scroll down and select the application menu.
• Then find and select the app you want.
• Proceed by selecting Storage.
• Tap Clear Storage to clear the cache for the app.
• Finished.

Clear the cache using the Device Maintenance feature

• Clear cache files using Device Maintenance feature.
• Open the settings menu on your Samsung phone.
• Scroll down and select Device and battery care.
• The Device Maintenance page allows you to view information about resource usage on the device.
• You can tap Optimize Now to optimize your device.
• Wait for the process to complete.

2. Delete unused apps

Next, try removing unused apps/games; mainly games that usually take up storage space on the phone. When you install an application/game, you need to make sure that it does not affect the system and application performance. Perhaps for a flagship or mid-range phone with a large storage capacity, installing many applications is not a problem, but for a low-end phone with a small storage capacity, it will certainly feel a drop in performance.

• Open the settings menu on your Samsung phone.
• Scroll down and select the application menu.
• Then find and select the app you want.
• Proceed by selecting Uninstall.
• Click OK to confirm deleting the app.
• Finished.

3. Delete unnecessary files/media files

Besides apps and games, also delete unnecessary files/media; like documents, photos, videos, audios, APKs, duplicate files and more. This is done to reduce internal storage usage on your Samsung phone. Also, data storage in WhatsApp application that is not managed properly can fill up your phone's internal storage.

In addition, the average size of third-party applications and games is currently increasing, so the demand for device resources is also increasing. You as a user have to be really smart in managing memory usage so it doesn't fill up quickly. There are two ways to clean up these files, through My Files and through Device Maintenance, see the two methods below.

Via Delete My Files

• Open My Files app on your Realme phone.
• Select the category of files you want to clean up.
• If you want to delete an APK file, you can choose an APK category.
• Mark some files/all files you want to delete.
• Tap Delete to delete the desired file.
• Finished.

Remove via Device Care

• Open the settings menu on your Samsung phone.
• Scroll down and select Device and battery care.
• The Device Maintenance page allows you to view information about resource usage on the device.
• Proceed by selecting Storage.
• Scroll down to select the category of files you want to delete.
• If you want to remove duplicate files, you can select Duplicate Files category.
• Mark the files/media that you want to delete.
• Tap the Delete icon to permanently delete it.
• Finished.

4. Perform system and application updates

If there are system and application updates, you should update them. Performing updates aims to improve the performance and stability of your Samsung mobile phone. Developers also usually add features and fix bugs in the system/application to make the system/application run more stably and optimally. Before updating, make sure your phone has a stable internet connection so that the update can run smoothly.

Update a user interface from Samsung

• Open the settings menu on your Samsung phone.
• Scroll down and find and select the software update feature.
• Proceed by selecting Download and Install.
• If an update is available, please update your Samsung HP One UI.
• Follow the process until the update is successful.
• Finished.

Update apps and games

• Open Google Play Store on your Samsung phone.
• Go to my Apps and Games page.
• Tap Update All to update all installed apps.
• Finished.

5. Don't run too many apps

Of all the things I've outlined above, the important point to watch out for is not to force the phone to run many applications at the same time. Especially for low-end phones that only have RAM capacity between 2 and 3 GB, you should limit excessive activity and look at the specifications for the application/game you want to play.

When you force your phone to do things you shouldn't, the effects are overheating, freezing, and lagging. If this is continuously forced, there is a risk of damaging components that will eventually damage the phone quickly.

If the phone feels hot, you should rest it so that it doesn't overheat. This is to prevent damage to the components inside the phone.

Do not use the phone while it is charging, especially during strenuous activities such as gaming. This aims to avoid things that are undesirable; such as exploding/burning mobile phones, electrocution and overheating, eventually leading to damaged components.

Excessive cell phone use can be harmful to your health. You will feel stressed from prolonged cell phone use. Do activities that are more productive and useful.

6. Reset HP Samsung

Samsung cellphone reset can be the last resort to fix stuck, hang and lag issues. You can also make this an option if you know that the hang and crash issue started after an OS upgrade. In this way, all data, applications, files and media will be completely erased. You don't have to bother deleting them one by one either. Before performing a reset, here are some key points you need to understand:

• Before resetting, make a backup copy of all important data stored in the internal memory. You can move the data to external storage or cloud storage; like Google Drive or OneDrive.
• All data stored in the internal memory will be permanently erased and cannot be recovered.
• Resetting does not guarantee that the problem can return to normal on your Samsung phone. This is just an option to factory reset the phone.
• Not all error problems need to be fixed with a reset. If it's still possible, you can try ways that are safer and easier to do; like clear cache, clear app data and also restart the phone. But if all these methods still don't help, you can choose the reset path.
• There are two reset options to choose from; Reset via the settings menu and via Android recovery.
• Check out and follow the Samsung HP reset guide below.
