The Huawei Y6 2018 and 2017 have been two of the phones that have had the best reception in the low range. Unfortunately, as it is an entry-level mobile, its performance is not always adequate, especially if we use several applications at the same time or heavy games. Last week we already saw some interesting tricks of the Huawei Y6. Today we have made a compilation of several tricks to improve the performance of a slow Huawei Y6 2018 with lag .
Since the terminal has EMUI, the tricks that we will see are applicable to both the Huawei Y6 2017 and the Huawei Y6 2019.
Change the speed of animations on the Huawei Y6
The best solution to a slow Huawei Y6 is to reduce the time in which the animations are processed in the system. To do this, we will have to resort to the Developer Settings, which can be accessed by pressing several times on the Compilation number section within System in the About phone section in the Settings application.
Once we have activated them, we will go again to the System section and access the Development Options.
Finally, we will look for the Drawing section and we will change all the Animation Scale options to 0.5x or 0x speed (without animations). With this we will be able to accelerate the Huawei Y6 and remove the lag when opening applications and navigating between the options of both the system and the apps.
Limit the background processes of the RAM memory of the Huawei Y6
Within the same Development Settings we can find another option that helps us limit the execution of processes in the background. Since the Huawei Y6 2018 only has 2 GB of RAM, having several processes and applications open at the same time can reduce system performance.
To remove the lag of the Huawei Y6 we will slide the options within the Developer Options until we find the one that has the name of Proc Limit in the background. When we have located it, we will click on the option in question and we will set the limit to 2 or 3 processes in the background.
Disable the face unlock of the Huawei Y6
Although the Huawei Y6 2018 and Y6 2019 have facial unlocking through software, the truth is that their use greatly slows down the mobile when unlocking it.
The best way to speed up the Huawei Y6 at startup will be to disable the option in question through the Settings. Specifically in Security and privacy, as we can see in the image above.
Change the launcher of the Huawei Y6
It is well known by most users that Huawei's launcher is not the fastest of all, especially in low-end mobiles.
To improve the speed of the Huawei Y6 2018 an essential is to resort to a faster launcher . From Tuexperto.com we recommend Holo Launcher or Nova Launcher, although you can use others like Lite Launcher or Evie Launcher.
Once we have the application in question, we will go to the Applications and notifications section in the Android Settings application; specifically to the Default Applications section. Finally, we will select the Activator option and choose the launcher that we have just installed to set the activator as the default.
Change the theme of the Huawei Y6 2018
Along with the launcher , one of the aspects that most negatively include the performance of the Huawei Y6 is the theme that is installed by default.
Currently we can find several hundred different themes in Google Play, however, the best app to search for themes for the Huawei Y6 2018 is EMUI Themes Factory, which we can download from this link.
When we have installed the app on our mobile, we will open it and look for the Simple8 Pixel theme. Installing it is as simple as clicking on it to download it. Finally, we will click Apply.
Clear the memory and free up the storage of the Huawei Y6
One of the aspects that most influence the loss of performance of a mobile is the occupation of the internal memory. Since the Huawei Y6 has a rather slow type of eMMC memory, we will have to keep applications and files at bay so as not to fill 16 GB with those that it has as standard.
For this, Huawei has a Cleaning application, which we can access from the Memory section in the System Settings. When we are inside the app, we will click on Space Cleaner and the application with the same name will automatically open.
Now we can free the memory by deleting unnecessary files and uninstalling applications that we do not use.
Use Game Suite to improve the performance of the Huawei Y6 2018 in games
Game Suite is an application installed as standard on all Huawei phones that allows us, among other things, to improve the performance of games on a Huawei mobile. The way to proceed is very simple.
With the game installed on our Huawei Y6 2017 or Y6 2018, we will access the Game Suite app that we can find in the launcher that we have installed. Within the application we will click on the left button of the bottom bar and the app will automatically change to Game mode. With this, we will make the system focus the mobile resources on getting the most out of the game in question.
Disable automatic updates from the Play Store on the Huawei Y6
By default, the Play Store, the Google application store, updates all the applications that we have installed on our mobile automatically. This not only worsens the performance of the Huawei Y6, but also increases lag when using certain applications.
The solution in this case is to access the Google Store Settings through the left side menu. Once inside, we will click on the section Update applications automatically and select the option of Do not update applications automatically.
… And update the Huawei Y6 to the latest version of Android
If none of the above has worked for us, the poor performance of the Huawei Y6 may be due to an error in the Android version that we have installed on the mobile. The only solution in this case is to update the mobile to the latest public version (currently it corresponds to version 8.0.0.145).
To do this, we will go to the System section in Settings and check if there are new updates in the Update software section. In the event that the app detects a new version, we will download it to the mobile to install it throughout the day.
