Topic: What causes older Mobile Phones to Slow Down? (Read 1836 times)
things have a life time even they are electronic devices.
because when gadgets are used for a very long time,the apps are slowed because the caches are slowing down.the junk files have taken a lot of memory because keeps a lot of little space and therefore the mobile phones get slower.
I think it's the new apps that's being developed that makes old phones to slow down. The apps are made for new phones with better specs than the older ones.
Hi Dudes...
What causes older Mobile Phones to Slow Down?
Is it because the memory Read/Writes are failing?
Also, why is it, when a mobile phone is left for 6 months in a drawer, the touch screen fails on cheaper phones?
This tends not to happen with Samsung and Apple Phones, but overall, the cheaper the phone, the quicker it degrades....
I wonder sometimes if the touchscreen corrodes or something...

Old mobile phones has low processing power to process the latest mobile applications that requires more processing power to work smoothly!
i think there are many factors that causes older mobile phones slow down
There are many factors why older smarthphone gets slower. The first reason is its cpu's capacity. The second reason is its software version. The third reason is its motherboard's capability tends to be slower as time goes by. And the last reason is that, many apps and systems are running and as you update your software versin, its not smooth since iits not suitable for that phone.
I think the operating systems and hardware on phones get obsolete, and need require a technical upgrade. When my Iphone slow down, is not responding properly, then iPhone Recovery Mode may solve problem. I put iphone in recovery mode, and reinstall iOS without erasing data. Sometimes it needs to be done.
Im still looking to know the answer to my question, I want to know if its the quality of the build or the read/write limit of the chips inside.
Prob combination of both.
My television doesnt slow down, the speedometer on the car doesnt slow down. My first Generation Xbox doesnt slow down. My PSP doesnt slow down. My Microwave oven, that works after nearly 20 years.
So why are Mobile phones and tablets the only devices to slow down. Im going with Read/Writes
Because all of those devices dont get updates nearly as often as your phone. Your phones os and apps update constantly and become bigger and more hungry as time goes on.

With something like android, it has to do with a mixture of OS updates and app updates. As more and more powerful phones come out, the OS gets heavier and the developers spend less time optimizing the apps, which makes it slower for older phones. Also less ram means less cache.
the softwares fill up free spaces with logs and unwanted junk.
if you want to enjoy your phone like new,
take backup
do a complete format.
do restore.
less free space is major issue for phone slowing down., and some major companies give 16 gb for internal storage .
and reboot your phone once in a two days. it keeps phone fast, at least in my case.
It can still be that RAM is full, it happens when you use the Internet. Except for all files in the phone there are additional, which the owner does not see, but they must also be deleted by the cleaner. if you want to enjoy your phone like new,

I have noticed this myself with my phone...when most of my phone storage is full, my phone slows down. Once I delete a bunch of music, pics etc...I do notice a spped boost in how my phone operates

Hi Dudes...
What causes older Mobile Phones to Slow Down?
Is it because the memory Read/Writes are failing?
Also, why is it, when a mobile phone is left for 6 months in a drawer, the touch screen fails on cheaper phones?
This tends not to happen with Samsung and Apple Phones, but overall, the cheaper the phone, the quicker it degrades....
I wonder sometimes if the touchscreen corrodes or something...

Older mobile phones have older version of operating system. Applications are continuously being developed and compared to older applications the newest apps have higher system and hardware requirements. In this case, installing new apps in older mobile phones causes it to become slow.

Mainly they just get bloated with apps and processes. What causes older Mobile Phones to Slow Down?

It's gotta be the older people. Younger people get newer mobile phones, and keep on going fast.

I think the operating systems and hardware on older phones get obsolete with time and they are unable to keep up with the current operating bands of th network service providers hence they slow down and would ultimately require a technical upgrade to be able to catch up on the growing trend.
Everything can be too many applications and memory cards are used to cause the loss of functionality over time. In general, you need to back up and Hard Reset a phone every once in a while.
Sometimes the software update can slow down the phone rather than accelerate it. So always pay attention when updating.

Do not buy cheap mobile phones. Better you will use them for several years, but you will always be sure that the phone will not let you down. Better to spend $ 300-400 for 5 years, than every six months to buy new for $ 100.
Lack of memory, lack of ram, too many programs/apps
Things don't just slow down. If you have a phone that suddenly got slow, then the software is the problem. If you were to factory reset, it doesn't mean it's going to still be slow just because the phone is older. Phones don't age the way humans do.
I think it's mainly because mobile phones have it's life time. I previously had the problem with my samsung s3 phone and it started slowing down at first and eventually died and the issue was on the board. SAme thing happenswith my samsung note 2 that I've used for 3 years I think and had the same slowing down at first symptoms and stopped booting. I think constantly upgrading is important so it will be prevented. I am currently using a cheaper phone and been using it for a year now and fortunately it don't have any issues yet. I also think it's how the users manages the phone which makes it longer useable and not prone to hardware problems.
Major difference is hardware. Hardware is improving, which is making possible for heavier systems to run on then consuming most of the resources and this is how it works.
I still remember Nokia 6600 was launched in 2003. It was the best mobile phone at that time.
Its internal memory was 6 MB, where as an external card was supported. A massive 32 MB
card was also available which most of the users used to have in there great phone.
We can also say that older devices are not getting slower, but newer ones are getting faster which make older devices feel slower.

It has to do with the memory space of the phone. If installed apps clog up space, it definitely slows down the phone.
Also dust, corrosion, parts wear out. I had a flip phone for so long (8+ years) that the synthetic rubber turned to goo.

A number of problems arise with old phones:
1. The CPU speed slows when you use it each time by a small amount.
2. More processes need to be run on your phone when you install more things.
3. The logs that are stored can become bigger, such as debug logs.
The souch screen thing seems a little strange though. I don't know why you'd keep it in a drawer for 6 months?
It's probably something to do with sensitivity deceasing due to dust or a failed connection caused by a number of things.
if you're updating then the software is constantly changing. even if your OS doesn't change, the app updates certainly pile up at an amazing rate and they'll gradually optimize for more powerful machines.
websites are getting more content heavy too and i believe solid state memory gets slower the closer it gets to filling up.

With computers it's usually software that you installed.
