Want to fix Android lag on Galaxy S4? This handy guide will help you speed up Samsung Galaxy S4. Before we go into what you actually need to do, let’s understand what lag is. There can be two types of lag, one being what you face when launching an app, for instance, where the device seems to take a couple of seconds before it actually executes your command. Such lag usually comes from an underpowered processor or insufficient RAM, and the OS is forced to unload and reload a variety of data into RAM before it can compile and run the application. The second, and arguably more frustrating, lag is when the overall interface feels sluggish, which is not necessarily Android’s fault.
Samsung announced its new flagship device during this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona and will act as a direct replacement to the current fourth-generation model of the S series family of smartphones. Consumers looking to get in on the Galaxy S5 action early on will be pleased to know that a number of UK and European based online retailers have put up pre-order pages for the hardware, revealing the price of Samsung's latest gadget in the process.
It seems that Google may have just fallen foul of one of the pitfalls of having engineers running the company rather than people that are more adept at giving a politician's answer to some tough questions. Google's head honcho of Android, Sundar Pichai, has been in attendance at this week's Mobile World Congress, and it seems he's given a very interesting answer to a mildly interesting question.
With the likes of the Apple iPhone 5s and Samsung Galaxy S5 now offering fingerprint sensors, the smartphone industry has become increasingly sci-fi - a tad more James Bond, if you like - in recent times. But for a truly secure experience, one would need much more than these emerging, albeit reliable implementations, and this is where airplane maker Boeing steps in, with a smartphone offering the kind of robust security features that only a government agency - or indeed, a government agent - would require.
Samsung's recent unveiling of the Galaxy S5 was met with a collection of moans and groans from analysts and consumers who were expecting something a little more "premium" from the Korean company. Rumors of a S5 model built with a more advanced technical specification and higher quality exterior have been circulating for quite some time, and although Samsung dampened a few spirits during the recent Mobile World Congress presentation, it appears that all hope is not yet lost. In an effort to appeal to the higher-end market, and compete directly with the likes of HTC, Samsung look set to introduce a premium Galaxy S5 model that would be the backbone of a luxury F line of devices.
So after all the talk, all the leaks and a healthy dose of speculation, it's finally been announced. The leaks might have left us with less of a surprise than Samsung would have liked, but the Galaxy S5 is now official, and everyone's talking about it.
Google has a history of taking parts of its own build of Android available for everyone, and when the Google Now Launcher made an appearance on the latest Nexus 5 smartphone everyone began hoping that it would make the leap to the Play Store sooner rather than later. Today, that's exactly what has happened. Unfortunately though, it's not quite available for everyone.
