Improve the performance of your iPhone 4S with iOS 8

In this case, the exact same thing has happened to us, but with its successor, the iPhone 4S. Once we have updated it to iOS 8, we have realized that it would have been better to stay in the previous version, but what's done is done. And now that we have this new system, we will have to get the most out of it, in order to gain fluidity on the iPhone 4S with iOS 8.

HOW TO IMPROVE IPHONE 4S PERFORMANCE WITH IOS 8

The first thing we want to comment on is that we give you all the options available to you and you select the one that suits you best. With that said, let's get started.

First and the most important aspect is to eliminate the parallax or 3D effect. This effect is what the wallpaper creates for us, simulating that we have a 3D background.

Perhaps, once we eliminate this option, it would be convenient to also eliminate the transitions between applications, that is, the zoom that appears when we switch from one app to another. To do this, we have to reduce movement, and we will explain it to you in detail AQUÍ .

One of the novelties that we have implemented in iOS 8, is to have the favorite and recent contacts in the multitasking of all devices. This option may be useful for many users, but we are sure that most of them, once the days have passed, find it a bit uncomfortable.

And what about iPhone 4S users. These contacts make our device work much slower than it should. Therefore, we advise you to remove them to gain fluidity. We explain in detail how to do it HERE .

Another novelty that has attracted the most attention in this new system is the new keyboard. Called "Predictive keyboard", a keyboard that as we use it, it suggests the words we use the most. Undoubtedly a rather curious and productive novelty at the same time.

We will also be able to eliminate this keyboard, that is, we can hide that small bar where all the word suggestions that we can use appear. By hiding this keyboard, we ensure that the system is not constantly working to suggest words and thus gain fluency on the iPhone 4S with iOS 8.We show you the whole process of hiding this keyboard HERE .

So far everything that we can deactivate in terms of visual aspect is concerned and that without a doubt by carrying out these processes, we are going to notice a quite big change in our iPhone 4S with iOS 8. But, what happens with the battery ?.

Many of you may have noticed that the battery is also consumed quickly and there are times when the device gets hot. Well, we can also gain some autonomy by following these tips.

The Smartphone battery is undoubtedly one of the most delicate aspects of these devices. And it is that with total security, the majority of users, does not arrive at the end of the day or even at noon. That is why it is so important to know what things we can have activated and what not.

Without a doubt, what consumes us the most battery is the “location”, this aspect may be important, but perhaps we should not have all the options activated.In order to activate or deactivate this option, we must go to the following path: Settings/General/Restrictions/Location.

Here they will show us all the applications that are using or that have used the location on our device. We only have to deactivate those that we do not want to use the location.

Within this option, we have at the bottom, another tab called “System Services”. This is undoubtedly one of the most important parts of the location and one that consumes the most battery. By default everything is enabled, but the vast majority can be disabled.

We have it like this, you can deactivate the same or what suits you best.

Once we have discussed location in detail, since it is one of the most important issues in terms of battery life and more so in an iPhone 4S with iOS 8, we must focus on other aspects of the battery such as the following:

1. Deactivate notifications from those apps that we do not consider essential.
2. Turn off location tracking for non-important apps, as constant use of GPS consumes a lot of resources.
3. Turn off Bluetooth and turn it on only when you really need it.
4. Turn off time zone adjustment to save battery life.
5. Save battery life on your iPhone by turning off Diagnostics & Usage.
6. Limit ad tracking.
7. Disable iAds, Traffic, Time zone, Popular nearby and diagnosis and use.
8. Deactivate Push in your email accounts, placing periodic updates every 15, 30 or 60 minutes.
9. Save battery by not leaving applications in the background when you're not going to use the iPhone .
10. Disable the “AUTO BRIGHTNESS” option and you can save battery.
11. Lowers the screen brightness and thus increases autonomy.
12. If you are going to have the iPhone idle in areas without WIFI, we recommend deactivating the WIFI option and the 3G data connection.
13. Disable BACKGROUND REFRESHING.
14. Turn off SIRI if you don't use it often.
15. Delete possible third-party profiles installed on our device.
16. Review the settings of installed applications.
17. Disable the option to start a document and continue it on another iOS device (Settings/General/Handolf and suggested applications).

If you want to know how to deactivate all these options, all you have to do is visit HERE , where we explain in detail how to carry out each of the processes mentioned.

And in this way, we can improve performance on the iPhone 4S with iOS 8, as well as increase its autonomy. But these options are also useful for other devices (iPhone 5, 5S, 6 and 6 Plus), since we do not use many of the activated options and in this way we can increase our batteries more.
