While we discuss some tips to make this phone snappier, we would also discuss some solutions to troubleshoot performance and stability issues. It is common to observe and face multiple Android issues over time. And one should know to rectify them. We hope that users would find this tutorial helpful.

There’s one thing that makes Android OS so good is that it comes with inbuilt tools and options for optimization and modification purposes. That makes clear that you don’t have to indulge yourself with any sort of third-party application. Neither you need a technical knowledge — that’s a myth you should ignore. The Huawei Mate 20 Pro runs on latest Android Pie firmware that ensures that it runs on the optimized environment and brings most of the latest features within your palms. And also it offers some set of features and options for further customizations.

In order to get started and optimize performance on Huawei Mate 20 Pro, we would use the Developer Options. Basically, it’s a menu that offers some extended options to configure the smartphone. Usually, this menu comes hidden by default and it is quite easier to activate it on Android phones. And most importantly, it wouldn’t harm your phone in a manner. Still, we recommend you not to carelessly use this menu, though it won’t hurt your phone. Further, to troubleshoot performance and related bugs and issues, we wipe cache and perform a master reset. That will calibrate the overall performance and restore its actual stability.

If you’ve been using your phone for a long time, most probably, you’ve observed some declines in the overall performance and stability. It happens with most the smartphones because of the clutter and junk files that resist our phone to run properly. These junk and expired files are generated by the applications that are installed on your phone. And over the time, these cached data and junk files impact the usual functioning of the phone and that result in low performance and unstable Android Interface. This is where you need to take appropriate actions to banish these problems. Now, we should get started with useful tips and tricks to speed up Huawei Mate 20 Pro for better performance.

How to speed up Huawei Mate 20 Pro for faster performance

1. Speed up Animations

This is the most effective way to give a performance boost to an Android phone. The user interface has several animations that repeat frequently while we take actions. These animations are set to work to some specified duration and extent. Therefore, if we somehow reduce these values associated with the duration and extent of Animations, our phone shall respond faster. And it actually works.

In order to access the Animations settings, first gotta enable the Developer Options on this phone. Either you could →follow this guide or just follow the below steps to enable this menu on your phone:

1. Open Settings menu on your phone.
2. Tap on System.
3. Tap on About phone.
4. Now, locate the Build Number and tap it 7 times to activate the Developer Options.

Thereafter, the Developer Options menu will appear within the Settings menu. Therefore, going forward, you could access it right from the Settings menu.

Now, we can proceed further to optimize performance on Huawei Mate 20 Pro smartphone. Just follow the below steps to customize animations on your phone:

1. Open Settings on your phone.
2. Tap on Developer Options.
3. Under this menu, locate: “Windows Animation Scale”, “Transition Animation scale” and “Animator duration scale”.
4. To each these entities, put 0.5X value.
5. After that, exit the Settings.

Though you should instantly sense the performance boost on your phone, still we recommend you to reboot it. Through these steps, we have reduced the extent and duration of the animations to it half value as compared to the default settings.

That should significantly improve the responsiveness of your phone. Also, you can disable these animations, but that will make your phone look weird. So, you shouldn’t try that.

Instead, keep them half and enjoy the hiked performance (though it feels only). You must visit the following tutorials as well:

2. Reduce the DPI scale

Basically, DPI is a technical term that stands for Dot Per Inch. There’s no need to explain it deeply. In simple word, the DPI on Android phones controls that size of the On-screen content like text and icons. And it only impacts the Android User Interface (doesn’t have any impact on the apps and games).

By default, the DPI value is scaled high according to the screen resolution. If we change this value, it will conversely change the size of the on-screen content including icons and text. The concept goes simple, for a big object, the less rendering power is required. Therefore, if we decrease down the DPI value on Huawei Mate 20 Pro, it should add some performance improvements and stability.

Though the changes are not that much visible, still you can measure some positive impacts on the overall smoothness. You would feel that your phone has become more responsive and actions go smoothly.

The following instructions should help you apply this action:

1. Open the Developer Options menu.
2. Now, look for the smallest width or minimum width, and tap on it.
3. Reduce the existing value to 340 or 360.
4. Exit the Settings.

The most important benefit of lowering the DPI value is that it improves the readability of the text on your phone. And that happens without changing the screen resolution and text size settings.

3. Wipe cache data

This can bring significant improvements to the overall performance of the phone. Basically, the cache files are generated by the applications installed on the phone. Each time we open an app, that accumulates some cache files. These files expire over time and turn to junk. While they keep grabbing the internal storage, they also tend to negatively impact the performance and stability.

If you’ve been using your phone for a long duration, you might have observed the same. Your phone might have been overloaded with cache and expired files.

Most of the cache files are generated by social media applications like Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, etc. Therefore, you should timely clear off this cache data on your phone. That will keep your phone running fast all the time. The following steps will help you clear app cache on your phone.

1. Open the Settings.
2. Tap on the Apps -> Apps list.
3. Now, tap on the App that you want to clear its cache (Facebook, Instagram, etc.,).
4. Tap on Storage.
5. Now, tap on Clear Cache and Clear Data.
6. Repeat the above steps for other applications.

That’s the way to clear the cache of individual apps. If you ever observe that your phone is facing lots of troubles and performance issues, we recommend you to wipe its cache partition.

That action will wipe off the complete cache data on your phone. Thereby, you can bloat-off your phone and calibrate its performance.

Use the following steps to Wipe cache on your phone:

1. Power off your phone using the power button.
2. Now, boot into the recovery mode using the following steps:
   1. Press and hold the Volume Up button.
   2. While holding the Volume Up button, connect USB charger to the phone.
   3. Within a few seconds, your phone will boot into the recovery mode.
   4. Now, remove the USB charger.
3. Under the recovery mode, tap on ‘Wipe Cache Partition’ and perform this action.
4. After that, exit this mode.

So, that’s the way to clear every bit of cache files gathered on your phone. It will free some good amount of free space and calibrate phone’s performance.

If that doesn’t make any sense to you and remove low performance and stability issues on your phone, then you must follow the next recommendation.

4. Factory reset Hard Reset Huawei Mate 20 Pro for better performance and fix common issues

If you figure that nothing helped you so far, then you should try to hard reset your phone. For those who have been using their phone for a quite long time, they are more frequent to face Android OS related problems. Over time, clutter and junk files keep gathering and probably, they cause different problems to occur. If you figure that clearing cache isn’t resolving problems on your phone, then performing a factory reset is the next thing you should try.

While we perform this action, it wipes off the device’s internal memory thoroughly. Except for stock applications, everything is removed and we cannot revert this process. Until you’re completely sure about this action, you shouldn’t perform it. This reset will delete everything stored within your phone. Therefore, you should back up all the important things before you perform this action.

You can use the pre-installed backup application or use the Google Drive to sync files to a cloud system. Or else, just simply copy-paste your files to your computer. When you’re ready, just follow the below tutorial to hard reset your phone:
