Resetting your smart phone is a good option because this will set your phone settings to the original configuration like the day you bought a new one. Although this is not a permanent solution because your phone will lag behind again as it used to.

Providing your phone with an additional memory card will make it work smarter and faster.

10. It is Better to Keep Fewer Widgets

Widgets are not applications and people think that they only run when you choose to run them. This is not the story but widgets are always active and are running in the background. Some people keep these widgets to keep the weather record and important dates of their use for quick access of the essential configurations in your phone like Wi-Fi, GPS, Bluetooth etc.

You can also try stopping the synchronization, turning off the animations, or better not to use live wallpapers. All this will help you a lot in making your Android OS work faster.
