Download and install an alternate launcher

If youre having trouble with a slow Samsung Galaxy S6, one of the first things we recommend you do is to swap out your launcher for a new one.

You may be surprised at the changes in performance that various launchers offer compared with others. While some launchers may appear clean and minimal, behind-the-scenes they can have your Samsung Galaxy S6 working overtime. Popular picks such as Nova Launcher, Solo Launcher and dodol Launcher are a safe bet, offering stable performance and a host of features to get stuck into.

If youre unhappy with the time it takes to browse through your collection of downloaded apps, many launchers offer settings that allow you to adjust page transitions and the speeds of those transitions.

Delete the cache

Over time, the cache on your Samsung Galaxy S6 can fill up with temporary folders that clog up your smartphone and create speed issues. Youll be pleased to know that clearing the cache on the Samsung Galaxy S6 is a straightforward process and something we recommend you do regularly to keep things running smooth.

To clear app cache on the Samsung Galaxy S6, head to Settings > App Manager and tap on the app youd like to deal with. Once youre inside that apps menu, you should see the Clear Cache option, so select it and banish those cache demons. While doing this for your most-used apps can be time-consuming, its worth taking the time to do it.

For a more in-depth tutorial, take a look at our full guide on how to clear the cache on the Galaxy S6.

Reduce the number of startup apps (Greenify)

Theres a solid selection of tools on the Play Store built specifically to prevent too many applications booting up every time you turn your smartphone on. One of our favorites for dealing with a slow-starting gadget is Greenify, which lets you control memory hogging and annoying background processes.

Greenify is arguably one of the most reliable performance-boosting apps on the Play Store, and its free to download which makes grabbing it a no-brainer. Simply put, the app puts programs into a state of hibernation to reduce the strain they put on the Samsung Galaxy S6 when theyre not in use.

Its worth noting that Greenify requires a rooted device to work at its very best, but there are plenty of features tucked into the app for non-rooted users.

Speed up animations

Using some useful Samsung Galaxy S6 settings, its possible to increase the speed of animations and page transitions. The result is a smartphone that feels satisfyingly snappy. Root is not required to try out this trick, so its a tip for the masses.

To speed up animations, head to Settings on the Samsung Galaxy S6. Scroll down and tap Build number multiple times. Doing so will activate Developer Options, which will appear on the same menu. Head inside and youll see the Window animation scale option near the top of the page.

From here, you can adjust transition speeds. We recommend you try 0.5x, head back to the Samsung Galaxy S6s home screen and see if you can spot the difference.

Delete unused apps

It sounds obvious, but its worth having a flick through your applications collection and removing ones that you dont use. A little bit of spring cleaning never hurt anyone, and it certainly wont hurt your Samsung Galaxy S6. Whether youre getting rid of tools that shipped with the phone or games that you downloaded and only played once or twice, every little helps.

If you enter Edit mode on the Samsung Galaxy S6 by tapping the top right corner of your apps window, its a simple job to remove more than one program at a time. Delete in bulk and youll be treated to a faster, better-performing smartphone.

Factory reset

Sometimes its best to wipe the slate clean and start fresh, and thats exactly what factory resetting the Samsung Galaxy S6 will do. Make sure you back up important data and contacts before you do the deed, because youll lose everything stored on the gadget that wasnt there when you bought it.

Alternatively, you can save important app data, passwords and more to Googles servers by tapping Back up my databefore you hit Factory data reset. The overall process of factory resetting the Samsung Galaxy S6 shouldnt take more than 10 minutes.

Dont rely too much on widgets

Deleting unused apps can work wonders for keeping the Samsung Galaxy S6 performing at its best, but its worth removing resource-hungry widgets too. If youre unsure which widgets are causing the problem, take the time to experiment with different combinations and see what works best for you. Heading into your Battery menu will also help you identify apps that use up lots of juice.

Future iPhones May be powered by Li Fi Light FiCapabilty a Technology With Transfer Speeds 100x Faster Than Wi Fi

iOS code shows Apple is experimenting with the new ultra fast, light-based Li-Fi (light Fidelity) wireless data for future iPhones

Recent versions of iOS have been found to contain references to Li-Fi, an experimental high-speed wireless networking protocol that uses pulses of light to transmit data and is being marketed as a long-term replacement for Wi-Fi.
Beginning with iOS 9.1, the operating systems library cache file makes mention of "LiFiCapability" alongside other hardware and software capability declarations. The change was spotted by Twitter user Chase Fromm and independently confirmed by AppleInsider.

Li-Fi works in a way not entirely unlike a traditional infrared remote control. Data is transmitted by rapidly modulating a light source, and received with a light sensor before being reassembled into an electronic signal.

Unlike your television remote, Li-Fi uses visible light and the modulation happens in a manner imperceptible to the human eye: that means the same bulb that lights your hallway can act as a data access point. Its also much faster, with theoretical throughput capacity of up to 224 gigabits per second.

Li-Fi is still in the experimental phase, but a number of companies are working to commercialize the technology. At least one firm, India-based Velmenni, has already begun real-world testing.

In addition to the software references, Apple is known to be working on hardware implementations for light-based wireless data transfer, or optical wireless communication.

A patent application filed in 2013 and assigned to Apple describes a method of "optical modulation using an image sensor." The sensor in question could be switched between image capture and data capture modes, allowing for light capabilities without adding additional hardware.

Apple envisions this particular system being used for indoor location, but the general principle is the same as more high-bandwidth applications.

Google to roll out Algorithmic update to make Chrome browser faster

Google Announced that it will roll out an Algorithm update to make its chrome browser faster than ever.

The change will constitute a data compressing filter called BROTLI, which was first disclosed by Google in September 2015. The Algorithm update will help chrome browsers compress the sizes of Websites to up to 26 per cent better than what we see in the previous Chrome compression tool- Zopfli.

The Algorithm change is named after a Swiss German baked food, Brotli- to mean "small bread".

Google Engineer Illya Grigorik in a post on Google+ , announced that Brotli will be integrated into Chrome soon, may be in the browsers next update.

"At Google, we think that internet users time is valuable, and that they shouldnt have to wait long for a webpage to load," Google (GOOG) said in a September blog post, when it first announced Brotli. "Because fast is better than slow."
The code is available as open-source codes for interested web developers and browsers to use, Mozilla for instance already showed interest in the Algorithm code to enhance its browser as well.
