Increasing the speed of the mobile is a wish that we have all had at some time. Of course, we don't want to delete our favorite apps or games. This is possible? The answer on AndroidAyuda is always positive. We suggest clearing the cache to improve the performance of your Android in four different ways. You can use one or all four. Try them and you will be surprised with the result.
Below are four ways to clear your DNS cache . This cache stores information to help websites and apps run faster. The problem arises when there's an error in the exchange of this information.
These errors are also stored and bloat this memory without providing any benefit. That's why it's a good idea to perform some maintenance and clear the cache periodically.
Let's see how to clear the DNS cache on an Android device so it runs as fast as a feather.
How to clear DNS cache on an Android
First option: clear DNS cache in Chrome
First, open the Chrome browser on your mobile device. Not the Google search bar, but the icon that opens the browser with the address bar.
Next, in the same address bar where the URLs appear, type this command: chrome://net-internals/#dns and press Enter. The page below will load. Simply click the "Clear host cache" button.
Next, find the tab with a black arrow in the red bar and click on it to open the drop-down menu. From the options it offers, click to enable "Clear cache" and "Flush sockets".
Finally, click on "Clear host cache" again and you're done!
Second option: use the browser to clear the DNS cache
This is the simplest and quickest option, and you might already know it. Even so, it always works. Let's clear the Google Chrome cache . Go to "Settings ," scroll down a bit to find "Apps," and tap it. From the list, find Google Chrome— it's probably right there —and tap it. At the bottom of your screen, you'll see the "Clear cache" button . Tap it, and the cache will be cleared.
We have already done two. Your mobile must go faster. Do you want even more? Well, we continue.
Third option: use the Wifi connection to clear Android DNS cache
Let's move on to the third one. It's a little more complex, but you'll see it 's very easy . Just like the previous one, go to "Settings" and this time to the first option, "Wi-Fi ." From the networks that appear, select the one you want to clear the cache of. It can be your home or work network; this won't affect its functionality. We're only working on your smartphone.
Press and hold the network you choose until a box appears with the options "Delete network" and "Modify network" . Tap on the second one. A window will appear, where you select "Advanced options" and further down, in "IP settings", the "Static IP" option.
Continue scrolling down until you reach two rows of numbers with the DNS1 and DNS2 headers. Change those values to match the image (DNS1 8.8.8.8 and DNS2 8.8.4.4) and we're done.
It is possible that, when you arrive here, the selected Wi-Fi network already has these values, which means that it is already optimized.
Fourth option: use the DNS Charger app
The DNS Charger app clears each network's cache that is used faster and will keep it optimized while the app is running. First of all, you must download it.
Once installed, you can select which DNS from those offered, for example, Google DNS , as shown in the image.
The next step is to accept the permission request to connect to that network. Once you accept, the app will optimize the DNS of the selected network. You'll also be able to easily change its settings and manage access to other networks.
We hope these tips have been helpful. Remember that you can expand the ones you want to improve the performance of your Android by clearing the DNS cache.
