100% ok for multitasking... No lag

Ram
What is your ram usage? On boot my p20 pro has left 3.5gb of ram. After half a day 3gb left. But after 1day has only 1.5-2.5 gb left. I always close apps and use that optimisation program and it does not celan up apps for 3gb left. Is this normal for this phone? Only reboot helps and it clean up to 3.6gb

Guys just let the apps open in the background! That's why we have so much RAM. It just consumes more battery to open the apps again and again. Apps im RAM consume no battery. If RAM should be full which is really hard with 6 GB then the system will clean itself.

Chrome keeps terminating for me

After update to EMUI 9 my multitasking gets some problems... like blu "filter" first time I open the multitasking (then going normal) and very little ram free without reason.... In 8.1 I've got 2/3 gb normally used. Same apps.

Exactly same experience, there is memory leak sometimes.

Same here. Every app is closed when switching apps. No multitasking possible. A reboot freed some RAM, but I think just for a certain time. Hope this will be fixed soon.

Agreed. Multitasking completely broken. Sometimes I even get a blank screen with a trashcan instead of a list of apps.

Do you use a dark theme? I had the same. Try a different theme. After switching to another theme I only have a blue transparent layer over the multitasking view.

Weird...I am on official .163 firmware,received by OTA and I have none of your problems...Multitasking is very good...2.5-3GB free on average,and 3.7GB free after a reboot. I never saw that blue tint when multitasking...But I think it depends on the region,because while I was checking Firmware Finder I read a log from an update,can't remember the region and it was specifically mentioned that the blue tint bug was fixed,but it wasn't for C432,which I use. Just wait for an OTA.

I double checked and it seems to be a issue with the Nova launcher.

Had the problem with .163(November) update with .195(January security) it's gone

Finding the memory management to be extremely poor. In this image I had only Slack open (and freshly so) and my RAM is MIA.
The second I'm switching apps they're killed - it was already aggressive before Pie but now even more so

Just to update that with last release 293 the bug with multitasking is disappeared.
Good news. I can use Hyperion or Nova Launcher now.

Mediocre performance, swap file is on by default.
Coming from a Oneplus 5, the difference is simply night and day.

I have the 6GB RAM version of the P20 Pro. I have not had issues with RAM as other users have been pointing out. Everything works fine for me.

eb13 ram management

This is something that is vastly improved. Although haven't yet seemed mentioned.
Ram management in the previous 2.2 leaks were horrible. For instance surfing on browser, going to messaging app to answer a text, the browser would unload from memory.
That was very, very annoying to have the page reload everytime you try to return to browser.
Also I could have more than 5 apps at a time loaded in memory at one time as shown by the
Samsung task manager.
Now eb13 I can us browser, text, do a speedtest, open tapatalk, install app from market,
And now go back to browser still loaded in memory. Also as shown I can have at least 12 or more
Apps open at one time while having more ram available ;-)

It's about the only improvement (and 3g web browsing speeds) that I can notice from leaked 2.2 vs official 2.2
I have noticed this as well. I thinks its pretty awesome. Leaps and bounds above DK28 in feel and use.
I hadn't noticed that with the browser, but maybe that's because I use Dolphin HD. Were any of you using different memory management settings before? Using the aggressive setting might cause the issue you describe.
Can't wait to try it - still waiting on Viper though. On a side note, I am super jealous that you have 4g
Oh no. I mentioned it last night after doing a ram test. I was able to load about 15 apps and switch back and forth without having froyo closing tgem down like the beta leaks. This is one if tge best improvements on this official release. Very happy.
Have you noticed your browser still checker-boarding?
eb13 browser is noticeably faster in my opinion. Yes you can make it checkerboard for second if you try, but in scrolling down multiple long, graphically intense pages, it is smooth and did not checkerboard at all.
do you guys run it on level 1 or level 2?
I see checkered board initialy, once I pan down the page, its gone 100%.
I used to do level 2 clwan on the leaks since the leaks always closed the apps. Now with this, I don't do no clean.
Great you guys seemed to have picked up on it as well.
Also you notice the cpu usage even with many programs like that open, is low. As I noticed before, they seemed to fight for cpu % lol.
Also I do not mess with the level 1 and 2 controls, as I have found it in dk28, to terminate my text gateway to where I can't send text; they would be stuck on sending
But as mentioned, this improvement does make the experience a bit more enjoyable.

Hey all. New user here. I'm very new to the epic, and smartphone in general, but I'm loving it so far. I was wondering about the different levels az well. What does it all do? I just don't want to select level 1 od level 2 if I'm going to mess something up. Any help would be grateful. Thanks
Hayabusa mentioned that ram clears have affected his texting, and after a mini experiment done in another thread we've seen that level 2 clears will break texting.

I notice you're running the Battery Life widget.....I had to uninstall that widget because it kept preventing the phone from sleeping. You don't have this problem?
have you noticved that if you clear the level 2 cache you loose data connection and only text messages work
thats a problem I have
oh, yea, and this stupid forums making me wait 5 min between posts and 10 posts before posting the ine development section

Because morons like to create their very first post in the dev forums...kind of like it was a right of passage into XDA. The Dev forums are pretty cluttered any ways, but when you have 30 n00bs a day posting in there, important threads where knocked down 1 or 2 pages. Also, the 5 minutes between posts is a spam prevention thing.

Memory leak issue stock 5.0.2

Nope. Based on what I know, Sony fixed the memory leak issue on their lollipop update.
same here, apparently their fix doesn't work well. i think the only solution is to reboot the phone every few days.
Same here 700mb free ram and almost every app running on the background get closed as soon as i went to the
another app like whatsapp and chrome once i switch from whatsapp to chrome after almost 1 sec whatsapp get closed and same goes for chrome and when i return back to the homescreen. Xperia homevget restared and thats fokin annoying
Since i updated to 5.0.2 Spanish generic i have not issues, and i never restarted the phone....
Don't hesitate to restart your phone several times after the upgrade. After I restarted it at least 10 times, it's better on my side...
Ram management is poor in lollipop as compared to kitkat. Hope 5.1 update will fix this.

Blame Google Android not Sony. Even the latest S6 is lagging badly.

This ain't the only memory leak + ram management is poor compared to cm12 (crdroid and the official cm12) ram management
It was buttery smooth
I phone has been up for 9 days now, no lag yet.

Yeah well... This one has been fixed by Sony but the other 200 memory leaks which make the telephone barely usable are not... Hopefully Android 5.1 will restore original performances... Still a couple of days to wait to know...

Petition A protest against Huawei/EMUI's old school Multitasking/recent app menu

many of us have had enough, let's face it the old school kitkat style of Huawei's multitasking/recent apps is a joke and destroy the whole workflow and multitasking of the device
My Plan is to collect as many names as possible and I will send it to Huawei.
What makes me angry is that even Huawei 8 seem to have the same multitasking look.
Vote in the poll and write in the thread what you voted.
THIS is what multitasking on android SHOULD look like.

How does a diffrent launcher help it help nothing at all!
the multitask/recent app button will still lead to the same EMUI based multi task page which looks terrible.
Bad overview and slow, force you to swipe thru pages inastead of see all open tabs in one page in an overview.

Well on the Mate 7 forum 78% does not like the EMUI recent apps multitasking.
Well the sad part is there is no easy way to get rid of this EMUI multitasking, a different launcher will not help, if you go thru great pain to root the device and modify the software a lot you can get rid of it, but it is not easy. If it was possible to change with laucnher it wold be no problem, unless you root no matter what you do if you push the multitask/recent apps button it will lead to the EMUI recent app pages, which is usless, the main reason for that it lacks of "overview, only "4 taps" are visible, while with android vanilla way you can over 20 tabs or more visible in just an overview, which is very superior, also it goes a lot faster to swipe thru all tabs, while in the EMUI you have to swipe thru packages, this is typical "chinese brainless" software design. That it looks almost the same for the Mate 8 does make me very angry, this is a dealkiller for me, multi tasking is important, I used the LG G3 for 3 months during my Mate 7 was on repair I did really like the standard recent app tabs, it is so superior so much faster and flexible, I have no idea why the chinese do not see this, there is no benifit at all with EMUI's recent apps functionality, it is also to slow and responsive to be useful. it should be fast and snappy as it was on ,y LG G3. Shame on you Huawei...I hope you are reading this.

About the claming 2GB ram of the Samsung Galaxy S5

Hi folks!
pretty new to the forum and for now I am not knowing much about the android. But here got some basic question that hinders my daily use of my cellphone:
The device I am using is samsung Galaxy S 5, and the model is G9008v, for those you know is the version with the China Mobile carrier.
SO, the ram is claimed to be 2GB, right?
bUT WHEN I am using it, the available ram is only about the 300mbs....
Here I've attached the ram status so that I could get some help. As you could see here only THREE programs ar erunning but the total ram is 1.6GB and there are 1.3 GB taken, For no use?

Free RAM is 300MB (Which will change depending on usage)
Actually installed RAM is 2GB
Some is reserved for GPU so will only show about 1.7GB~

e well no, actually the thing I am concerned about is the abnormity of the ram taken.
Only three programs are running as shown in the picture and they took like 300mbs adding up, however where is my other like 1.3 GB ram..?

There is no image in your post
The System uses the rest of the RAM, Android is a RAM hog
With nothing else running, I get about 600MB free
Check your PC task manager, with no programs running, Windows uses about 1.5GB RAM, similar reason with Android

2 GB ram is not enough, android system itself eats more than 1 GB sometimes
so the solution i use is
If u want more ram, then use XtreStoLite 2.2 rom, which is extremely lightweight, i managed to free up ram upto 1.2 GB (Wow), tweaking like Freezeing, greenify etc. now Free Ram is ALWAYS more than .90GB when not using any app, even after hours of use
only downside is that, its 5.0 lollipop not 5.1
but for me Multi tasking is more important to me than android version
Good Luck

My Redmi 8A, updated with MIUI 11.0.4, 2G / 32GB. It has a good capacity for multitasking, of course this depends a lot on the amount of Ram consumed by the applications, say that for basic processes such as messaging applications, the web browser, the camera, the notepad and the calendar, the calculator. etc., It moves fluid between applications.
Now when you start Games that consume a lot of Ram, or applications like Kinemaster for video editing, then the performance or speed with which you can access each application is lower, and it takes a little longer to move between tasks, but it is still acceptable for a Low Range equipment, according to my opinion, then I gave it a Medium score, I could still have more, being a Low Range smartphone.
