3. ROEHSOFT RAM Expander (SWAP) - Google Play Store
Your Android device most likely came with 8/16GB of storage, but it’s the RAM that really affects what you can do with it. Most high-end Android devices ship with 2GB or more of RAM, but some cheap devices might have only 1GB of RAM or even 512MB in some cases.
Why Do You Need More RAM?
The importance of additional RAM cannot be overstated. While more storage space gives you more photos, more MP3s, or more video clips, additional RAM helps the processor to work more quickly, thereby aiding in the playback (or even creation) of such files.
For instance, some playback problems are erroneously blamed on a slow Internet connection, when in truth they could be speeded up with additional RAM, rather than faster wireless.
Various tricks exist to increase usable RAM on your Android device by “cleaning up”. We’ll assume you’ve already tried them, and look here at how you can actually physically increase available RAM.
RAM Swapping on Rooted Devices
If your Android device is rooted you can increase the available RAM thanks to ROEHSOFT RAM Expander (SWAP), which is compatible with rooted Android phones and tablets. Simply install, then run the app to find out if the ROEHSOFT RAM Expander (SWAP) is an app that can give you the results you want.
Install the RAM Expander
With the message displayed, it’s time to purchase and install ROEHSOFT’s RAM Expander (SWAP) app. Once running, and with root permissions applied, select your language.
You will then see a screen with a slider that can be adjusted depending upon how much RAM you want dedicated to the SWAP partition.
If you’re not sure about this, simply tap Optimal Value for the app to make the decision for you. Before proceeding, ensure that Autorun is enabled (this is a radio button at the top of the display) and when you’re happy tap the Swap Activbutton.
With the RAM partition created on your device’s SD card, Android should now run with improved performance. Try out your favorite game, or try opening a bunch of apps all at once.
Micro Sd Card
MicroSD cards don’t only work to increase your RAM, though. For anyone, rooted or unrooted, you can use a microSD card to increase your storage capacity. However, don’t just buy any old microSD card — spend a little extra on some storage that is more resilient, which will result in better reliability. Check the rating on box when buying a new microSD card – Class 4 minimum is recommended, but Class 10 is the best.
Increase Performance
If you’ve followed this tutorial from start to finish, you’ve increased your LA2-S storage space and RAM. Well done! With more RAM available for processing data, you’ll find the LA2-S is more useful and productive than ever before. 1GB to 3.7GB
Jump ship from Starhub Cable Broadband to M1 Fibre Broadband since there is no any benefits offer been a loyal customer. Starhub fibre/cable broadband 200/100Mbps at $39.90/mth, I also need to pay up registration fee of $53.50 same as been a new customer or upgrade to cable broadband 100Mbps at $49.90/mth. What I get from M1, 1. $50 rebate (Forgo Dect Phone) 2. Free1Gbps Mobile Data/Mth 3. Free Home Fix Voice Line 4. 300Mbps @ $29
There are many wireless standards in use today, and newer technologies can bond multiple channels/frequencies together to achieve higher throughput.
First, keep in mind that in data communications, speed is measured in kilobits (or megabits) per second, designated as kbps, or Mbps. You can check our bits/bytes conversion calculator for reference.
Below is a breakdown of the various 802.11 WiFi standards and their corresponding maximum speeds. Theoretical wireless speeds (combined upstream and downstream) are as follows:
802.11b - 11 Mbps (2.4GHz) 802.11a - 54 Mbps (5 GHz) 802.11g - 54 Mbps (2.4GHz) 802.11n - 600 Mbps (2.4GHz and 5 GHz) - 150Mbps typical for network adapters, 300Mbps, 450Mbps, and 600Mbps speeds when bonding channels with some routers 802.11ac - 1300+Mbps (5 GHz) - newer standard that uses wider channels, QAM and spatial streams for higher throughput
Actual wireless speeds vary significantly from the above theoretical maximum speeds due to: distance - distance from the access point, as well as any physical obstructions, such as walls, signal-blocking or reflecting materials affect signal propagation and reduce speed interference - other wireless networks and devices in the same frequency in the same area affect performance shared bandwidth - available bandwidth is shared between all users on the same wireless network.
In addition, net IP layer throughput of WiFi is typically 60% of the air link rate due to WiFi being half-duplex with ACKs, and being CSMA/CA. The number of simultaneous connections, and even the type of wireless security can affect and slow down some older routers with inadequate processors/memory.
Below is a breakdown of actual real-life average speeds you can expect from wireless routers within a reasonable distance, with low interference and small number of simultaneous clients:
802.11b - 2-3 Mbps downstream, up to 5-6 Mbps with some vendor-specific extensions. 802.11g - ~20 Mbps downstream 802.11n - 40-50 Mbps typical, varying greatly depending on configuration, whether it is mixed or N-only network, the number of bonded channels, etc. Specifying a channel, and using 40MHz channels can help achieve 70-80Mbps with some newer routers. Up to 100 Mbps achievable with more expensive commercial equipment with 8x8 arrays, gigabit ports, etc. 802.11ac - 70-100+ Mbps typical, higher speeds (200+ Mbps) possible over short distances without many obstacles, with newer generation 802.11ac routers, and client adapters capable of multiple streams.
