How Often Do You Run The Maintenance Optimizer?

[NotAnAppleGuy]

I ask because it seems that the device itself wants to consistently maintain it's health. Running the optimized, I just cleaned up 1.5gb of storage data I didn't know was being used.

Once a day did the same on S8 plus

I don't do it very often. I think if I remember, it reminds me to do it occasionally. That's when I do it but I never remember on my own.

 

[edubb256]

Never. Unless I have a rogue app draining the battery (none so far).

 

[Ca_lvn]

Once weekly needed or not

 

[Jona005]

a few times a week. I'm always a little surprised when i see that 1.5-2 gb of data can be cleaned up in such a short period of time.

Is the auto restart feature missing from Verizon variant or am I just looking in the wrong spot?

Settings>General Management>Reset

All that is in there is Reset Settings, Reset Network Settings & Factory data reset.

Once a day with s8+. With Note Im finding no reasons to do it. I run every other day or so if I remember to do it.

Daily,

 

[Almeuit]

I never use them.

pretty much everyday, afterwards I clear out all recent apps, then restart it.
I don't know if doing this is helpful or not. Any comments about how helpful this is or isn't and any other suggestions would be appreciated, thanks

never

That's way overkill IMO, especially the restart everyday.

That's way overkill IMO, especially the restart everyday.

Why, I turn my phone off every night when I go to sleep, have with every phone I have ever owned.

 

[anon(238680)]

Why,

Because it's unnecessary. Android manages memory quite well. Clear out storage cache once a week, maybe reboot as well. Call it good. I turn off wifi and set DND when I go to bed, maybe lose 4% battery overnight.

This is exactly what I do every night before bed.

This is exactly what I do every night before bed.

I usually do it in the morning, after clearing out all the notifacations from the night,that way,It's all clear & ready for a new day. I read somewhere about doing this, maybe it was you.

Pressing the Bixby button and saying "Optimize" makes it a once a day task for me.

 

[ajb1965]

Once a week or whenever the phone starts being a pita

How do you do this? I search setting for "Optim" says nothing found before I can finish the word optimize
