Many people have this feeling when using OPPO mobile phones. When I just bought them, they were really smooth and easy to use.
However, half a year passed, and another year passed, and gradually things began to appear – when sliding the desktop, frames dropped, when opening the software, it took a long time, and when switching applications, there was an annoying lag.
Even if I clear the trash every day and turn off the background, the card is still stuck and the battery life is also reduced.
In fact, in most cases, it is not really a problem with the mobile phone hardware, nor is it time to replace the phone, but some default settings of the system itself are always secretly making the running speed slower.
Some of the settings are for the purpose of making the animation beautiful, some of the settings are based on the need to send push messages, and some of the settings are for arranging the software to run quietly in the background.
To put it bluntly, for ordinary users, its practicality is not very high, but it occupies running memory for a long time and continues to consume processor performance.
At this moment, these five settings that affect the smoothness of OPPO mobile phones are clearly explained at one time. The operations are extremely simple, just follow the steps one by one.
1. Turn off background power-consuming permissions of apps you don’t use frequently.
Many people don't know that in order to achieve the purpose of allowing you to receive messages in a timely manner, the OPPO system enables third-party software to have high power-consuming background permissions by default.
This means that even if you exit the software manually, it is still secretly networking in the background, it is still quietly refreshing data in the background, it is still silently loading cache in the background, occupying memory and CPU resources for a long time.
Especially those short video software, shopping software, and information software, they are very powerful when they run in the background. Over time, there are many invisible programs accumulated in the background. As a result, it would be strange if the phone does not freeze.
Start by entering the settings area, then click on the battery option, and then look for power consumption details or application power consumption rankings. When you click in, you can see a list of all installed applications.
Click on software that you don't usually use, such as certain games, utility apps, and news clients one by one, and turn off the switch that allows high power consumption in the background.
After closing, the software will exit completely and will no longer run privately in the background. This will release a large amount of running memory, thereby reducing lagging, and significantly increasing the battery life of the software.
2. Change the window animation scaling from 1x to 0.5x
In order to ensure that mobile phone operations present a richer sense of hierarchy, OPPO has enabled a full set of transition animations by default when leaving the factory, as well as window animations and dynamic scaling effects.
To be honest, the exquisite animation is indeed beautiful, but it will continue to consume processor power.
For mid-range models, or those old models that have been used for two or three years, excessive animation effects will directly cause lag when switching pages, and make click responses slow.
Usually you have to unlock the screen, open or close software, slide menus, and each operation has to load animations. After a little time, you will feel that the phone's feel is not sensitive, which means that it does not seem to be smooth.
After completing the adjustment, return to the desktop, and you will notice that the page switching speed is much faster, and there is almost no delay when operating clicks, thus saying goodbye to the problem of frame drops associated with animation.
As a reminder, don’t mess with other parameters in the developer options, just change the animation scaling.
3. Turn off personalized advertising and intelligent recommendation services
The personalized advertising and content recommendation functions that come with the OPPO system are fully enabled by default.
The system will push various information, software recommendations, and service advertisements in real time based on your usage habits.
Observed from the surface, it appears to be an intelligent service, but in fact it is always occupying system resources, which increases the load on the mobile phone and indirectly causes lagging.
Turning off these push notifications will not only make the interface cleaner and tidier, but also reduce the pressure on the system.
Open the settings options of your phone, enter the privacy settings in the search box at the top, enter the corresponding page, and look for options related to advertising and privacy.
Turn off on this page Personalized advertising and Intelligent recommendation service These two core options.
After completion, the pop-up ads and disorganized push notifications on the phone will be significantly reduced, the system background will no longer frequently load redundant content, the operating burden will be immediately reduced, and the smoothness of the phone will gradually improve.
4. Manually restrict the self-starting permissions of irrelevant software
After many third-party software are installed, they will be obtained by default. self start and association start permissions.
In other words, even if you have not turned it on manually, it will run in the background by itself when the phone is powered on, the screen is unlocked, or even another related software is opened.
After the phone restarts, a dozen or even twenty applications automatically start at the same time, filling up the running memory in an instant.
This is also the core reason why many OPPO mobile phones become more and more laggy during continuous use, and apparently run smoothly after being turned on.
All installed applications on your phone will be listed here, and the applications that you really need to receive messages at any time will be saved, such as WeChat and QQ. All other applications that are not commonly used will be closed.
After restrictions, the software will not wake up on its own or be bundled to start. It will only activate if you manually click on it. This can free up storage space to the greatest extent.
5. Properly control positioning permissions and turn off assisted positioning
The positioning function is indeed a commonly used function in daily life, and is required for navigation, takeout, and taxi-hailing software.
However, many users have the habit of keeping their mobile phone positioning turned on at all times, and most idle software is also constantly obtaining location information.
For software such as short videos, games, reading, and tools that do not require real-time positioning, continuous positioning is unnecessary. This will only consume hardware resources for no reason, causing the phone to experience slight freezes and heat.
Return to the previous page, and at the same time, find the location service or assisted positioning, then turn off the Bluetooth scanning function, and also turn off the wireless network scanning function.
These two things, which will continue to run in the background, will not affect daily positioning applications after being turned off, and can further reduce the consumption of background resources.
Repeatedly, OPPO phones experience lags, dropped frames, and unsmooth operations. Most of these problems are caused by redundant settings in the system and excessive running of background programs. It is not simply that the hardware performance is insufficient to meet usage needs.
The above five settings are basic-level optimizations common to the entire OPPO series. They are easy to operate and do not involve much risk.
You need to turn off the high power consumption in the background, relax the zoom range of animations, block redundant advertising push, limit the automatic startup of software, and properly manage positioning permissions. After completing a series of operations like this, the phone will be much smoother and there will be no problems in using it for two or three years.
