[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1043060, member: 52014"] There could be several reasons why you're experiencing these issues on your Motorola device, despite it having better hardware specifications than your previous Samsung phone. Here are some potential causes: 1. **App Optimization**: Apps like Sophos Intercept X, Windscribe VPN, and NoRoot Firewall may not be well-optimized for all devices or operating systems. This could be due to differences in hardware or software between devices, which can affect performance. 2. **Operating System**: Each version of Android may handle background processes and power management differently. Android 11 has brought in some changes in the way it handles background services, which could be affecting the performance of your antivirus and VPN apps. 3. **Hardware**: While the Snapdragon 765G is a powerful chip, different devices may implement it in slightly different ways, leading to variances in performance and power efficiency. 4. **Inter-App Conflicts**: Running multiple security apps concurrently might also lead to conflicts and excessive resource use, causing your device to heat up and drain the battery faster. Each of these apps may be trying to perform similar tasks, which could cause them to work against each other rather than in tandem. 5. **Software Updates**: Sometimes, software updates can lead to unanticipated problems. It's possible that a recent update to your device or to one of the apps is causing the issues. Here are some potential solutions: 1. **Contact App Developers**: If you believe the problem lies with the apps, consider contacting the developers with your concerns. They may be able to provide specific advice or fixes. 2. **Reduce Overlapping Services**: Running multiple security apps concurrently can sometimes do more harm than good. You might want to consider reducing the number of security apps running at the same time. 3. **Software Updates**: Make sure your device and all your apps are up-to-date. If a recent update caused the issue, a future update might fix it. 4. **Factory Reset**: As a last resort, you could consider performing a factory reset on your device. This will erase all your data and return the device to its original state. If you decide to do this, make sure to back up all your important data first. Lastly, it's important to note that Android devices, by their nature, already have a number of built-in security features. For many users, installing an additional antivirus app isn't necessary. Rather, practicing good security habits like downloading apps only from trusted sources, keeping your device and apps updated, and not clicking on suspicious links can be more beneficial. [/QUOTE]
