Wakelock Revamp is a nifty app that can prevent your Android device from sleeping too deeply while on standby. This app has been helping me to overcome severe performance issues on my Nokia 3.4.
It’s not a secret that I do not like my Nokia 3.4 one bit. It’s the laggiest phone I’ve ever owned, especially when I come to use it for the first time in an hour or so. A few days ago, I put DreamLab back on my phone to help science and discovered when I woke up that the phone seemed a bit snappier than normal – it was because the CPU had been active and the phone hadn’t been going into a deep sleep to save juice.
After a bit of Googling, I discovered wakelocks which keep the CPU active. You can turn these wakelocks on using an app like Wakelock Revamp to keep the CPU active while the display is off, when you go to use your phone it doesn’t take ages to wake up but is instantly snappy and ready to roll.
Before finding Wakelock Revamp, I tried a pretty similar app but that one didn’t offer a run-on-start feature and enabling the wakelock each time seemed like it could get annoying. As such, I moved to Wakelock Revamp which offers a run-on-start option. With the wakelock in place, it turns out the phone really isn’t sluggish after all.
