[Q] Multitasking? - Sprint HTC One (M7)

I'm an EVO 4G LTE user and am well aware of the multitasking use on Sense 4+ but what I want to know is if the HTC One, with Sense 5, able to do REAL multitasking? For example: playing a video on YouTube (app and/or browser) while browsing the homescreen or appdrawer instead of hitting the home button or doing something else and the video stopping.

No, that feature isn't available but coming from someone who had the evo LTE the recents apps is way better than the 2 cards than are displayed on the evo. The only phone i know that has that feature is multi window option in the galaxy phones. But i like in sense 5 how if you press the recent apps you see 9 apps and the applications don't reset which means you pick up right where you left off in every app.

Well that just blows. I've been waiting for a feature like that but really would hate to get on a Samsung phone again. I do like the way the multitasking is used on the One BUT it would be nice to have 2 apps running at the same time. Thanks for the quick response.

The applications will reset based on available RAM.
Luckily, with 2GB, that's relatively rare.

Isn't it specifically in the youtube app to stop playing if you aren't on the app. I don't believe a samsung will get around this any differently.
As far as the multi-tasking, its nothing like the evo lte.

The youtbe app is designed to pause when it isn't on the foreground....its assumed you want to watch the video.

Not sure what else there is, but that's all I could find on Google that seemed pretty good. They're the closest thing to Samsung's Pop up Play that I could find.

If you just want the ability to watch a YouTube video while tinkering around in your phone Floating YouTube Player is perfect.

I could have sworn I read an article on Engadget a week or two ago about an app that does the multi Window thing.

There's a similar feature on AOSP called multi-VIEW...you might wanna check it out, but I'm not even sure if it's implemented in any of the roms made so far
Best of both worlds woot woot (sorry, couldn't resist)

You could by a floating browser app that will let you surf the web while doing anything else.

from what iv read in the nexus s forum the best way is to adb push it and also delete or move the old music.apk. they are getting a lot of force closes over there if not done correctly so it could be hit or miss for now.

[Q] Multitasking.- fixed or not?

I love the look of this phone, and I was insanely happy with my One X but I had to make the jump to the S3 (and later the Note 2) because of the multitasking woes that plagued the phone. No matter how I phrase an internet search I can't hear any preview that addresses the issue that many review sites completely ignored the last time around.
So the bottom line question is this: Will the M7 have standard multitasking? (I.e. the phone does NOT refresh applications/web pages/etc in an effort to conserve battery life).
+1 this was my biggest gripe with the hox....I switched to the gs3 as well but looking to possibility move back to htc if this has been fixed
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Indeed. HTC has fantastic build quality (I'd easily put the one X with any iPhone). If it had multitasking I'd put up with a non removable battery. Especially since I tend to watch a lot of Netflix lately while waiting for classes and I love the idea of the speaker placements on the m7.
And the one X still had the best camera I'd ever had on a smartphone)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Sorry guys can you clarify about the multitasking issue on the HTC One X? I had an Nexus phone a few years back and thought all Android phones fully multitasked out the box so to speak.
Android has multi tasking but i heard htc one x broke that. When you switch to another app and comeback using recent apps that app would need to be reopened which means it gets terminated even if you dont kill it
It has been fixed on the One according to all the videos I've seen

The HTC One X had the worst multi tasking of any phone. You could literally go between just two apps and they apps would have to completely reload. They would not even be in a save state. For instance, i would be surfing the internet, go text real quick and come back, only to find my internet had to reload the whole page I was just on 30 seconds ago. It was horrible. It ruined the phone for a lot of people. And forget about trying to switch between any more apps lol. I'm not sure if HTC even acknowledged it, or I believe they said "that is just how it works". If I had known it was that bad, I would have got the s3 over it. But I bought one of the first ones so woe is me.

Just to clarify:
People aren't asking if the HTC One can multitask, it is obvious that it can.
We are asking:
How is the memory management on the phone? Does it unload app quickly, like the HTC One X? Or does it save them in memory.
With the HTC One X, if u opened a webpage, then went to the home scream, once u returned to the webpage it would reload instead of staying in memory.
We want to know if basicly this behaviour is still present? Or if it stays in memory.

Hello! I'm not sure about this problem but do you have a HTC One X? If so did you guys ever check the defined values of it's OOM settings already? Since that's the one that handles the killing of background apps etc.

It all depends on your minfree values. With minfree values you/HTC can set the phone to close apps at certain memory values, to have a certain memory free when you are using apps.
Higher minfrees= more apps closed= more ram available to the few opened apps
Lower minfrees=more apps opened= less ram available to the many open apps.
All this can be changed once you root the phone so I wouldn't worry what it comes with. The beauty of Android is that EVERYTHING basically can be changed. That is if you root it There are about 1000000000 ways to do it
HOX Multitasking
Yes this was the initial behaviour of the HOX but since updating to Jelly Bean i have not noticed this anymore.

Multitasking

Do we know yet if htc has fixed the multitasking in the one. I had an x and x+ and the thing could not have more than a couple apps open at one time. It was quite annoying going into your mail app from the browser and having your browser reload when you go back into it. This drove me nuts.
If htc fixed that on the one I will be first in line to get one. If not then i will take a pass.
I read some article (hands-on) and it said multitasking is great, the phone just flew between apps
This is one thing I am looking for as well. I can't stand the multi tasking on my one x. It is completely useless. Couldn't even switch between two apps without having to reload them. I had also heard in one of the hands on videos I believe that they said the multi tasking had been fixed as well. But I'm still waiting for a thorough review.

But, yeah, I have the SGS3 now and it's nice to actually have multitasking compared to my HOX. I miss the non-pentile screen so much and I will definitely be pre-ordering one of these.
Lol hey I knew that post looked familiar! he was just quoting without the quotes heh. Yea I have the hox and my buddy has the s3 and it absolutely drives me nuts that he can actually multi task...I almost stopped using the button on this phone as it is near useless.
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
i read that it is limited to the last 9 apps you have used (which is more than enough i think)
so hopefully that means they have sorted it but could only get the last 9 working.
I'm fine with the last 9 working, as long as they are truly staying in some sort of saved state and pull back up to where you were at without reloading I'll be ecstatic.

9 apps only? With 2GB of RAM? A complete TRAGEDY!
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
The problem is if those 9 apps are actually held in RAM or not. The HOX showed plenty of apps in the recent app list, it's just that they had all been killed already so it re-loaded from scratch.
Hopefully HTC have learnt, and if not then 2Gb RAM should make a difference too
M.
very nice
Any one get the ONE already can give some view on the mulitask performance?
If you you open several APP, like web browser and other APPs, when you switch back to web browser will it reload the pages?
Seems to work flawlessly none of the nine apps refresh

1g shall work fine for multitask, but one x has special handling to deal with multitask that cause it a problem. It killed app when memory still very much.
So we need ONE user to give their feedback on how good it is now.
Can someone with the One make a video and post it up please.

Meanwhile, i'm using every Halo compatible ROM here... until this comes
Looks pretty slick, a bit more of s tablet project to be honest but could be cool on the Nexus

Will I be able to run other apps on my phone inside of Scouter?
Unfortunately, no. Scouter modules are specially designed applications, not 'native' apps that come from your phone's app store. That said, a lot of these native apps have versions that function in the Scouter web browser, and we hope companies will eventually develop custom modules for Scouter.

That, and the fact that at first it is coming only for iOS makes it sound quite ****ty.
Lol, so it's just a browser that shows two pages at once? Haha.
