Xperia L1 is slow

Anonymous
Not applicable

My phone is somewhat slow ... it is about 10 months old ... could it be the battery needs replacing? ... or ... do I have too much 'stuff' on the phone so it's not working at optimum level? ... or ... any other answer?

Thank you

Hi @Anonymous 

You need to get rid of apps you no longer use.

FB is a battery drain so make sure it's not running in the background.

Thank you very much @Cleoriff 

Facebook is probably running in the background as you say ... I am a member of a lot of groups on FB ... & ... don't need to sign in

I always charge my phone in an evening up to 100%

I have no plans for tomorrow so I intend to do as you suggest in your post, thank you again

A quick test is to use the Web versions of FB et al.
Force stop / uninstall the app.

The Web versions are not ideal, but can point out if it is indeed the app causing battery drain / sluggishness.

Low end phones sometimes just need a reset.
