In today's world, many people cannot imagine life without the Internet. One of the advantages of a mobile device is the ability to connect to the World Wide Web anytime and anywhere. However, there are cases of a noticeable decrease in page loading speed, which makes it difficult to work fully. There can be many reasons for this, as well as ways to eliminate it. In the article, we will consider the situation when the Internet does not work well on the phone.
Mobile network speed and how to measure it
It's worth clarifying right away that when connected to a Wi-Fi network, the Internet works faster than from a mobile operator. The latest 4G standard, under optimal communication conditions, is able to maintain the maximum allowable speed on a cell phone from 100 to 130 Mbps. On a tablet computer, these figures are lower than described in the 4G technology specification. Many customers are unhappy with the speed of the Internet from MTS, butthe above is also true for such a large telecom provider.
Before you move on to accelerating the mobile Internet, you need to measure the data transfer rate. To do this, you can simply download a special application. It will track the current and average internet speed of the device.
Some mobile phones allow you to check this indicator online. To do this, go to the "Settings" tab, select "System Settings" and "Notification Settings". Then find the "Status Bar" and activate the "Display current network speed" function. The corresponding data rate will then be displayed at the top of the screen.
The device has low internet speed
Among the reasons to understand why the Internet does not work well on the phone are the following:
- The mobile phone operates on a low speed network (2G or 3G). Better if it is 4G.
- Application update, system update or file upload started.
- On the phone - free internet. As a rule, operators provide low-speed traffic as part of such a service.
- Bad network signal.
- The daily rate of high-speed traffic within the Internet tariff on the phone has been used up.
- The network is overloaded with nearby users.
- The Internet resource the user is trying to connect to is overloaded.
InternetSpeed Master
To increase the speed of the Internet on your mobile phone, you can use this utility. The program is one of the most popular in its category. Its use is possible with and without Root-rights. You can customize them using special applications:
- Find and download the Internet Speed Master utility in the Play Market or App Store. It is important that Nez Droid be its developer.
- Before starting the program, a window will appear with a warning about its possible failure or acceleration of the mobile device. If the application does not fit the smartphone shell, you can always delete it, so you need to click "OK" and continue.
- If the user does not have Root rights, then only one button "Improve Internet Connection" will be available in the program. If available, from the proposed options, select "Apply Patch". Then the device is rebooted and the speed of the mobile Internet is checked. Even if you have administrative rights, you can choose the first option and the data exchange speed will increase.
- After installing and activating the program, mobile Internet will work as quickly as possible. After these steps, the problem of poor Internet performance on the phone should be resolved. But if the result for some reason does not suit the user, the settings can be returned to their previous state or the application can be deleted.
Internet Booster
Another mobile application can help if the phone does not work wellthe Internet. The principle of operation of this program is similar to the utility described above, but the result is slightly different:
- The application is found in the Play Market or the App Store and downloaded to a mobile device.
- When you open the program, a window with a notification about the lack of Root rights will immediately appear.
- You need to click on the round button in the middle of the screen with a lightning bolt.
- After that, another window will appear with a notification about the completion of optimization.
- After clicking the "Cancel" button and "Installation completed", you can check the quality of your Internet connection.
If the speed remains the same, the utility is removed so that it does not occupy the device's memory.
Disabling upgrades
Often the Internet does not work well on the phone due to applications that are in the background to update the system. If you configure the device correctly, this problem can be eliminated. To disable the update function, do the following:
- Opens the Settings tab, then Data Usage.
- Then select the line "Background mode" and move the slider opposite the inscription "Enable".
- A list of all applications installed on the device will appear in the window that opens. Unnecessary or rarely used utilities are disabled. Thus, they stop wasting internet speed.
If necessary, the desired application can be connected again.
Clear cache, change network settings
Let's consider two more methods with whichit will be possible to increase the speed of mobile Internet.
The first one is clearing the cache:
- In the "Settings" tab, find the "Smart Manager" column and select the RAM line.
- Here you will see a list of all programs that consume traffic. Near applications that are not in use, the slider is turned off.
- After that, go to the "Memory" section, which contains information about the occupied and free space in the phone's RAM.
- The line "Unnecessary data" will appear at the bottom of the window, here they click the "Delete" button, and then check how much space is freed up in the device's memory.
The second method involves the Web itself. In some cases, changing its settings helps speed up the mobile Internet. To do this, in the main menu of the device, find the “Mobile networks” tab and select the “Network mode” line. Among the proposed values, "Auto LTE / WCDMA / GSM" is set. With this option, the device will automatically connect to the network with the best signal quality.
Remove apps and disable pictures
Some installed programs on your smartphone use mobile traffic while working in the background. To control its consumption and improve data transfer, you need to turn off the background mode or completely remove unnecessary programs. You can find them in the "Settings" tab, in the "Applications" section. In the window that appears, uninstall or disable unused utilities. To deactivate some applications, the "Forcestop". You can safely press it and not be afraid that this will lead to a deterioration in the operation of the device.
Mobile internet slowdown can be caused by downloading images that use bandwidth due to their resolution or size. To improve the quality of data exchange, it is desirable to disable the download of pictures from the Web. To do this, go to the settings of the Internet browser, find the corresponding line and disable the download of images.
Browser settings
You can optimize the functioning of programs on your mobile device without resorting to outside help or downloading additional utilities. To do this, you need to set up the Internet on your phone manually. One of the most popular browsers - Google Chrome - has an extended database of settings that allows the user to change them according to personal needs. It is designed to be used on a mobile device and a tablet computer. To set up Google Chrome on your phone, follow the step-by-step instructions:
- Launch the Google Chrome app.
- Go to the "Options" tab in the upper right corner.
- In the window that opens, select the "Settings" section, and then "Traffic reduction".
- Move the slider to the side until the “On” icon appears.
- After the manipulations are completed, a graph will appear showing changes in the traffic of an Android-based smartphone.
For users of the browser "Operamini" is also available the function of self-regulation of incoming and outgoing mobile traffic. To increase the speed of the Internet on the device, you need to download and install the version of Iite. With its help, sites load faster, traffic is spent more economically, while this does not affect the quality of the display of tabs.
