Abramelin Posted October 1, 2022 #1 Share Posted October 1, 2022 My only access to the internet is my Samsung smartphone. To me it seems whenever I click on many of my fast links stored on my phone, UM is trying to wrestle itself through it, and slows down my phone. I love this site but... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing has changed on this end and there are no issues with the server, so the issue could be with your phone. Can you give me an example of a page that you are having trouble loading and when did the problem start ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramelin Posted October 1, 2022 Author #3 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I know nothing changed on your end. I just want to know why things changed on my end, and that for a couple of years. What I do nowadays is click on one of my fast links, and when it loads, I enter "Doggerland" and "Unexplained Mysteries' in my browser. Then I always get page 37 of the Doggerland thread on top of the search results, and thàt is the way I always access this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glorybebe Posted October 1, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Processors get old. Soft ware updates, which pushes the processors to work sluggishly. It is unfortunate, but, this happens with all brands of smart phones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a diagnostic tool in the settings on the Samsung smartphones. It's very usefull to get rid of all the unneccesary stuff that fills up a phone over time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(It's "foreigner", BTW. ) When I had my first smartphone, it was all new to me. So, I set the language to 'Suomi' — just to see what happened. Big mistake! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saru Posted October 2, 2022 #13 Share Posted October 2, 2022 1 hour ago, Abramelin said: Samsung Galaxy A01 That's around 7 years old - as others have noted, phones can slow down over time. Try some of the suggestions above for clearing out your cache, you could also try a different browser and see if that works any faster. Ultimately though, you may need to upgrade your phone to see any appreciable difference in overall performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightly Posted October 2, 2022 #14 Share Posted October 2, 2022 This fairly new I-pad will slow down in here..and even start opening threads other than what I clicked on…clearing my history always fixes it..and makes it fast again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramelin Posted October 9, 2022 Author #15 Share Posted October 9, 2022 I finally managed to update FireFox, and it works like a charm! I, however, lost my favorites and list of top websites, but since I made many fastlinks not much is lost. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
