Restarting the device is one of the oldest tricks in the technological field. But why does restarting a device work? Why does your mobile work better Android turn it off and on again? We explain the reasons that make this work like this, mainly focused on RAM.
A question of RAM: this is how this memory so important for our mobile works
The crux of the matter is in the RAM and how it works. As a general rule, all operating systems work well with the RAM full, and hence the saying "RAM to use, RAM wasted." The software is prepared to work to the maximum and, except for Windows, in general, it would not be necessary to even leave a little free RAM. This also applies to Android, capable of running on full RAM without fail. So what is the problem with this memory of our mobiles?
Imagines you close an app in the background. Does the application disappear completely from RAM? No, there are remains. And the problem is that those remains are messy. So imagine this on a large scale, what happens then? That, putting a simile, the house is totally and absolutely a mess. All the furniture is badly placed, the clothes are on the floors, the bathroom is not cleaned and no one has taken the garbage out.
Restarting your Android mobile is like cleaning the house completely
So, when you restart your mobile phone Android what you do is clear all the memory RAM. It is completely emptied and organized so that everything is where it should be: scrubbed, cleaned, clothes stored in the closet. Therefore, there is already more space and, when you go to get something, you are where you should. The effect of restarting the mobile phone can last for many days and weeks, so it is not necessary to restart every little time, but when things go wrong.
And we must not forget that we are talking about smart phones, capable of handling a lot of information and resources. So one key is to let them work well and only help them when they need it. As a general rule, our mobile knows how to handle resources without problems. But when not, or when an app gives problems and closing it and reopening it does not solve it, then we can choose to restart the mobile and, most likely, all problems will be solved.
