Useful apps for your Android phone

Now that you’ve invested a lot of money on your Android phone, you would definitely want to take good care of it so that it lasts longer, without any issues. Here are some useful apps that will make a big difference to your Android phone’s lifetime, performance and safety.

Many of the useful features on our phone are quite battery draining, like Wi-Fi or GPS.  JuiceDefender is a free app that runs in the background, managing your Mobile Data, Wi-Fi and CPU speed so that your battery life is extended and you still get to use all the smart features of your phone. It offers features like enabling connectivity for specific apps, location sensitive toggling of Wi-Fi, brightness control etc so that you can customize the power consumption according to your needs. This app also has a complete activity log, a customizable user interface and home screen battery widgets.

If you feel your Android phone is becoming sluggish, you can manage your phone performance with the free, ad-supported Auto Memory Manager app. The app categorizes your apps into six groups based on their function and sets memory thresholds for each group. When the Android RAM falls below the threshold level, the corresponding apps are killed.  You can leave the Auto Memory Manager on default configuration, or customize the threshold levels. The app also displays running processes and memory consumed with details like priority level, associated software and threshold level so that you can monitor the memory consumption of various processes.

History Eraser is the “one-touch cleaner” for your Android phone. Browser history, call log, cache files from all apps, message logs, clipboard data and more are cleaned with one click to clear up memory and for better privacy. It has customization options to set up auto clear and notifications. It also integrates a display of your phone ROM memory status.

Lookout Security &Antivirus is the popular award-winning security & anti-virus app for you phone. Security features include blocking malware, spyware and trojans and scanning all the apps and files you download.  You can schedule daily or weekly anti-virus scans with automatic protection against the latest threats. If your phone gets lost or stolen, you can log in to mylookout.com to use GPS and track your phone on a map. You can also set off a loud scream on your phone, even if it is silent mode. Lookout also has provision for backup & restore of your contacts through your mylookout.com account. The premium version has additional browsing security and advanced backup features.
