Although the “Android systems” installed on smartphones and tablets are considered to be quite stable and in some ways even “advanced”, they often have problems: Internet connection is much slower than claimed by the provider or mobile operator. Here, many owners of such devices have a legitimate question about how to increase the speed of the Internet on Android? To solve the problem, there are several simple ways.
How to increase the speed of the Internet on Android: possible connection options
Let's start with the basics of connecting. Indeed, in most cases, free Internet on Android is associated with the restrictions of the provider or mobile operator on the traffic settings.
Actually, based on this, we can conclude how the connection is made. As a rule, this is either a home virtual network, or a Wi-Fi connection in a public place, or a connection through a mobile operator. The last paragraph applies only to cases when the operator provides such services (for example, a traffic limit allocated for a month). But the saddest thing is that it is impossible to change the speed of reception - data transfer and the connection itself using the system's own means. However, even in this situation, the question of how to increase the speed of the Internet on a phone or tablet can be solved by one standard method. This applies to the version or settings of the default browser.
How to increase the speed of the Internet on a phone or tablet with an “Android” on board: basic methods
As for the applied methods, allowing to increase the speed of connection, page loading or file downloading, among the main methods there are three most simple ones:
- replacing the browser or reconfiguring its network access settings;
- Using third-party software on devices with root rights;
- connection optimization using special utilities without root rights.
Browser settings on the example of Google Chrome
First of all, let's look at the browser. If it becomes noticeable that it is starting to slow down, you should clean the cache. If this does not help, it is better to upgrade your browser to a more recent version or install another application.
However, this is far from always the problem. Let's consider how to increase the Internet speed on “Android” using the example of the Google Chrome browser included in the standard set of the system.
After starting it, go to the options menu and use the settings item. Here you need to go to the very last point of reducing traffic and "tap" on it. In the window that opens, simply move the activation slider to the on position. This traffic saving allows you to load pages or download files much faster than the default system provides.
Root acceleration
For those users who have received root rights on their devices, you can advise using a more effective method. To do this, you need the Internet Speed Master application.
After its installation and launch, several options will be offered. Here you don’t really need to delve into the settings, select the button to add a patch (Apply Patch), after which you will need to reboot the device. To return to the default settings, use the Restore button.
Optimization of devices without root rights
Not all users use the appropriate access rights, so the problem of how to increase the Internet speed on Android can be solved without it. The principle is somewhat different from what was described above. But, again, for optimization, you will need the Internet Speed Master application and the Internet speed test program (on Android you don’t need to install it initially, redirection will happen automatically).
And in the window of the first application after starting, select the item Improve Internet Connection in the form of the corresponding button, and then use the Restore button. After that, a message appears stating that the speed is optimized to the best possible setting, and then you will be asked to check the connection speed. When you click on the test button, you will be redirected to the installation of the Speed Checker application, which, if desired, can be installed and conduct the corresponding test. As can be seen from the foregoing, the problem of accelerating the Internet in all cases is solved quite simply.
