How to Increase Corby's performance and battery life

Nowadays, everything is controlled by machines. Sometimes machines do not perform nicely because of wear and tear. Same is the case with Corby. Sometimes, its necessary to fix up some bugs which decrease the functionality of the phone. In this article, I am going to show you, how you can make your corby faster and bug free to improve speed and maintain proper functioning of the phone. Lets get started.

Corby’s RAM is not so large. If lots on eye candies are enabled, it can use up all the memory space. So, Follow these steps to reduce the GUI features which would increase speed.

1. Use a basic theme such as Black / Green / Red.
2. Don’t use picture as Menu background. This causes great lag while using the phone. [To change settings, go to Menu > Settings > Display and Light > Style > Current Theme]
3. Use Type 2 Fonts.
4. Don’t use lots of Widgets at once. Use upto 1 / 2 widget at a time.
5. Don’t use Gesture Unlock. [Menu > Settings > Smart Unlock > Gesture Touch – OFF]
6. Use Auto Lock Touch Panel. [Menu > Phone Settings > Touch Panel auto-lock – ON]
7. Change Backlight time to 8 secs.[Settings > Display and Light > Backlight time]
8. Always free up Phone Memory. 
9. Don’t use Touch Sounds or Vibration feedback. 
10. Don’t keep multiple types of files in 1 folder. Instead make different folder for different types of files. 

If you follow the above steps, your battery and cellphone life will be improved and phone’s functionality will also improve. If these steps don’t help, then, you can try hard formatting your phone. So, what are you waiting for? Just go ahead and try these now!

NOTE: We love Corbies, we won’t hurt them!
