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.

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).

Because the IPhone doesn't have real multitask. The IOS basically freeze the background application (except a few like music player).
Android doesn't. Android has real multitask.

Good answer :thumbup:
but is it really I mean we have ndrive for example when you press home button it still track you in the navigation and give you instructions Iphone doesn't have this option??!!!!
also how many space should I have in my internal memory to have fast phone or all depend on free ram?!!
if it was on the ram so which apps takes a lot of ram (in general)??!
thnx all
I have noticed something paradox. In suppressed rom (v6 & V7) i had only 4-5 apps running in back ground and around 170-230 mb rom free.
In marvel 9, i have 9-10 apps running in back, n 210-270 mb ram free and it runs more smoothly then suppressed. No I am no one to criticise any ones hard work..but it is just my personal observation.
Now that its been a week. I'm pretty sure a lot of you have added all your apps. So give some suggestions so other users can experience the fun you have.
I'll start with.
Stock not rooted (yet)
Comicrack(pro)
Disney movies (for the daughter)
Pbs kids app -
Facebook
XDA premium
Box
Dropbox
Es file manager
A bunch of android wear apps
PlayStation app
Need for speed (game looks awesome don't this thing)
And that's about it. Once I root
Twrp
Su
Tibu
(Still debating if I want to use greenify. 3gb ram makes me think I don't unless someone can give me a good reason to).
And that's all until exposed works.
So let's hear it.
Admins if this already exist. Please post link in comments and close thread.( searched and didn't see anything)

A lot of the ones listed here but I wanted to really recommend:
LTE Discovery
Power Menu. Stuff lollipop left out.
What are you using for the power menu? This has been driving me nuts. I've got TWRP's power toggles widget that I'm using, but would prefer an actual power menu like the "Power Off" button.
The apps I would prefer to have in my N6

Gotta use Greenify to hibernate apps! You'd be surprised how much battery you'll save by keeping rouge apps (especially Google apps) from constantly causing wakelocks. Even without Xposed you can still hibernate most of the bigger offenders as long as you're rooted.
As for a few apps..
Plex

Root Explorer
Terminal Emulator
SwiftKey

With 4GB of ram it still can't keeps apps open in the background.
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 inn reality, as 800ish megs of that 1.1gigs is for cached processes).

VZW.
I did end up having to reload Fallout Shelter this afternoon, but, that was after running the above stated apps nonstop all day long. Not sure if it auto-purges apps after a certain amount of time, or what.
There is a lot that I like about this phone. But coming from near stock Android on the OnePlus 3t, outside of the core UI (home screen, lock screen, settings, etc) I find the P20 Pro a bit laggy. This mainly occured in slightly more involved apps like Facebook, Google maps, Google photos etc. For example try going into maps and jumping between navigation, reviews, the map view etc. It really stutters. And in photos, try swiping between images, it's so slow.
Is this something other people are experiencing? Would I benefit from a factory reset or change of settings? Or maybe this is just the result of crappy Huawei software?
Only place I see it in is Google photo and a little bit in Tapatalk. Everywhere else it's lagg free

I've had the phone act laggy and lag free. What puzzles me is this: I can factory reset and have facebook etc scroll lag and stutter free. I can then do another factory reset and experience a stutter fb scroll. I have repeated this at least 4 times on the same firmware with around a week each. At the moment I have a stutter facebook scroll and slight lags on maps etc. This time i'm going to live with it until the next update and use that as an excuse to reset. Fingers crossed I get a lag free start.
