Question Best Way to Improve Android Phone Performance Without Factory Reset?

[Jaxon Varr]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some advice on improving Android phone performance without doing a full factory reset.

Over time, my device has become noticeably slower, apps take longer to open, background processes feel heavy, and battery drain has increased. I’ve already tried basic steps like clearing cache and removing unused apps, but the improvements are minimal.

I wanted to ask the community:

• Are there specific system settings that actually make a difference?
• Do background apps or permissions have a bigger impact than we think?
• Is using Lite versions of apps worth it long-term?
• Any safe optimization tips that don’t involve risky third-party cleaner apps?

I’d prefer solutions that don’t require rooting or advanced modifications, just practical steps that work on most Android devices.

Thanks in advance, looking forward to learning from your experiences.
