8 Tips to Free Up Space on your Mobile Phone

We have done a bit of digging here at Nseries and according to a new study titled ‘What Users Want From Mobile‘ it appears that mobile users expectations aren’t being met. For instance 71% of global mobile users expect websites to load as quickly on their mobile as they do on their computer. Nearly two thirds of global web users expect a website to load on their mobile within 3 seconds or less, and nearly three quarters of people will leave the site if the page hasn’t loaded within 5 seconds. It’s not just websites either, it’s opening images and apps as well!


So, what can we do about it? Well being the helpful bunch we are at Nseries – here are 8 tips to help speed up your phone!
1. Messaging
Try saving your SMS messages to your mass memory, not your phone memory.

2. Remove live wallpaper
It may look pretty but it doesn’t do much other than eat into that precious processing power.

3. Remove unnecessary Apps
Do you use all your apps? If you have some gathering dust in the corner screen of your phone, delete them, they’re only taking up valuable memory.

4. Transfer your old photos & videos
You build up quite a collection of photos and video’s on your phone without even knowing it. Transfer them to your laptop or external hard drive – better yet, share it on your social networks! :)

5. Manage your multi-tasking
Multi-tasking on a smartphone is useful indeed, but it may also make your phone run a bit slower, especially if you’re running a very active Twitter client!

6. Cache Regularly
A useful tip is to clear your browser cache regularly or alternatively use an app such as NetQin Mobile Guard v3.0 which helps to remove junk and protect your phone against malware.

7. Monitor your E-mails
We spend a lot of time reading them, but not so much time deleting them. Limit the number of e-mails you keep on your phone in e-mail settings.

8. Reduce Bitrate
It is a small change but one that adds up. By using a programme to help reduce the bitrate of MP3′s to low or moderate you will be saving space.

Applying these tips and tricks should help save you some valuable space on your phone and speed it up a bit. If you know any more, feel free to share! :)

Tropical storm Beryl makes landfall on US coast

The weather system was expected to continue dumping rain over parts of Florida and Georgia. Tropical Storm Beryl made landfall early Monday in northeast Florida, bringing drenching rains and driving winds to the southeastern U.S. coast, forecasters said. The National Hurricane Center in Miami reported that Beryl made landfall over Duval and northern St. John s counties, with near-hurricane-strength winds of 70 mph (113 kph). "There are strong rain bands that are rotating around the center of the storm..." forecaster Al Sandrik said in an audio statement on the NHC website.

Tropical storm warnings were in effect for the entire Georgia coastline, as well as parts of Florida and South Carolina. Florida Gov.

Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra review

  Introduction Now that the Pro moniker has gone mainstream, it's Ultra that has come to represent the cream of the crop, and the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra can wear that badge proudly. Limited to its home market last year, the ultimate Mi has gone global this time around, and we're happy to have it for review today. We're torn whether it's the camera system's physical appearance that is more striking or the hardware inside. A simply massive raised area on the back looks bolted on, almost after the fact, it's hard to miss, and it's a great conversation starter even if it's not everyone's cup of tea. But its size is warranted - the main camera packs the largest sensor used on a modern-day smartphone, and next to it - two more modules unmatched in their own fields, in one way or another. Oh, and yes, there's also a display here - because why not, but also because it can be useful. There's a lot more than 1.1 inches of ...
