GN browser issue

Hi All,
was if others are experiencing the same issue i am having?
when i am using the stock internet browser on the GN, (having couple of tabs opened).
i open another app or do something on the phone eg, listening to music or some using other apps,
then I go back to the browser again but this time the browser is closed, none of the tabs are there, feels like the browser restarted.
It keeps happening to me and i cant figure out the cause of it.
does anyone has similar or the same issue i am experiencing?
thanks

what apps are you swapping between?
the galaxy note may have 1gb of ram, but it doesnt keep a lot of it free. mine normally has something like 350mb free with the widgets i use. when i run my browser with 3-4 pages with a lot of pics, it uses up about 150-200mb of ram. if i then run a game like shadowgun or dungeon defenders, it will use up a lot of ram as well. to keep the system from running out of ram, gingerbread will shut off any background apps using a lot of ram, in this case, the browser. hence you'll lose your tabs because the browser will restart when you reopen it.
i havent had any issues with it crashing when listening to music though. my poweramp only uses like 20mb ram. ive only really had it happen when im gaming and browsing.
the only solutions are to minimise desktop widgets to maximise free ram, and possibly swap launchers to one that will use ram more efficiently. auto task killers are useless since they send most apps into reboot loops which will drain the battery, but if your device is rooted, you can always use titanium backup to freeze apps and processes you never use (ie. weather widget).

thanks again..

RAM and background apps/gaming

Would a ROM with more ram available run large 3D games better, than a fully loaded Sammy ROM?
Does more free Ram allow more applications to run in the background ?
Or does the ROM make no difference to how Android runs?

more ram= more apps running in the background
now for 3d games, if your phone already had enough space of free ram for the game, i dont see how more ram will will make the game faster, as your the game already had what it needs from ram, but of curse, having more ram will allow you to run more apps in the background such as music apps or myabe downloading files while playing etc...
hope this helped

Runing Real Racing 3

I decided to get the dust out of my milestone just to use it as my portable console, I used to play n64 there, and some psx games, now I upgraded to 4.1, and real racing just won't start, I tought it was a ram capability issue, so I downgraded to 4.0.4, now I'm at the lowest point the game is available 2.3.x and it won't start; the game will download every file the first time I install it, then It starts playing music and stops, the app crash.
any ideas on why is happening?

any way to improving ram up to at least 200 more mb? or make the system?

No way.
Milestone 1 only has 226MB of RAM available.

[Q] widgets

Hi,
Interesting question:
Will adding widgets slow down my phone? I know that this phone has 1 gb of ram, so will adding widgets take a lot of ram? I usually add 3 widgets of calendars and lists and what not and play games. That didnt slow down my nexus 7.2 (which has 2 gb of ram) but the question is, will that 3 widgets hamper the performance if im playing a game or surfing the web?

To those with a Note 5 already, how's the RAM management.

To those with a Note 5 already, how's the RAM management.
Can't get one in Canada until the 21st, just wondering if the Note 5 is a smart buy.
Here's a video of the LG G4 smoking the Samsung Note 5 in memory management. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6QSffa9dys
The Note 5 opens the apps incredibly fast even with reloading though.
I've seen posts here and there that make it sound promising but the video above scares me a little.
Anyhow what are your experiences?
How many apps (and which) can you open and swap between without them reloading.

You already saw my posts but I will re-state here so others can see as well.
I do not have the issues that video illustrates. I can run Chrome, Fallout Shelter, Poweramp, Play Store, Trillian, Amazon App Store, 1Weather, Google Plus, Whisper, Gmail, Battery Widget Reborn, Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Z Launcher, the stock launcher, a number of settings windows, and plenty more, and not have any of them need to reload when switching between them (which is good, because Fallout Shelter is up to 500megs of RAM usage...). With all of that running, I still have 1.1gigs of free RAM (333megs in reality, as 800ish megs of that 1.1gigs is for cached processes). I don't yet have much else installed, but it seems pretty clear to me that this is not a universal issue, and even if it were, it can easily be resolved by an update from Sammy, or a custom rom/kernel down the line.

Yeah same here ... no problem at all ...

My note kills apps like crazy. Certain apps i know for sure as soon as i hit home the app gets killed. but if i jumped to another app through recents, then the app would at least stay alive for a while.
