IT JUST WON'T LEAVE ME ALONE !

The only reason i want EMUI 9 is because this issue is fixed there.
And not for the "Pie features" in there.
Sarcasm intended.
The problem is solved on emui 9 because the ram management is so aggressive no apps stick around long enough to consume much battery!
I think I had that notification disabled in my device since I'm pretty annoyed too. In my case, it was facebook messenger. Sadly I can't remember how I was able to remove it but I'm sure I found a fix for that just by googling.
You can set power intensive app notifications to off in the settings..

I got my Xperia Z1 about a month ago, and I've noticed some issues with RAM management (or possibly under-optimized third-party apps). Although I haven't had much luck in replicating the problem, I noticed it happen a few times after a Firefox internet session, or after playing a graphically intensive game like Dead Trigger 2. The app would either close by itself (not crash, as in, there were no error messages), or, after I'd close it, I'd notice my launcher (Nova Launcher Prime) go into a restart loop. A quick glance at the running apps section in settings shows 50-100 MB of free ram, and all "constantly running" apps (launcher, viber, zooper widget, k9-mail, swiftkey, tasker, etc.) stuck, for want of a better phrase, in a restarting loop (due to lack of ram I guess).
I tried running Fast Reboot (a task killer) to see if I could regain stability of the system, but it kills only a few system tasks, freeing up to a measly 50 MB of RAM, which makes me wonder (in aggravation) just where the RAM is being used. The only way the running apps would stop closing and restarting (and I need the launcher stable) is to reboot. I'm not sure if the system would stabilize after x minutes, as I only waited for a minute or two before rebooting so that I could open another app/game.
I'm not trying to start yet another debate on necessity of used RAM on Android and efficiency/futility of task managers/killers, but what I described above really seems like poor RAM management to me. I've had a few android devices in the past, and experienced various problems /errors, but never something like this.
Has anybody had a similar issue, or have any tips?
My Xperia Z1 C6903 is currently running on rooted stock 14.2.A.0.290
Although i dont get force closes, but ive noticed most of the ram is taken by the phone itself, right now for me it says i have 1.1gb in use, when i close everything i have just a slight (barely even noticeable) increase in free ram, when i click on cached processes and close all one by one ive seen it increases the ram use instead of decreasing it?
But, do you use apps like setcpu? You can keep it on performance and keep the min slider to the lowest and the max slider to max, it runs stable and gives you performance when you need it, and no performance when you dont need it.
If all fails, try deleting system apps that you barely even use or need... Becareful what you delete tho!

Thanks for the reply. No, I've used apps like that in the past, but haven't installed anything similar on the Z1, because I noticed in BetterBatteryStats that the CPU speed goes down often when the screen is off, and up when, I suppose, it's required, such as in intensive games...
What apps do you use? For example facebook, YouTube, browser etc
Ive checked again on my cached apps and to my surprise, AOSP browser takes up 208mb!
Facebook takes up 48mb, and youtube takes up 22mb.
It just depends on the apps you have installed, some use the ram even while the phone is asleep.
Ive stopped those and a huge difference was made on freeing up my ram!
What i dont get is tho why sony advertises 2.2ghz quadcore if the phone itself takes most of it?
Just delete the apps you dont need from "all apps".
I'm on Honor 7 Lite (NEM-L21C432B356), I love the phone hardware itself but the stock OS (EMUI 5.0.2) is driving me crazy. Background tasks get killed really quickly and often notifications get deleted before I can even see them. I've tried factory reset and everything I've found on Google to no effect.
This isn't about the known push notifications issue. Notifications do work, but then they usually disappear almost immediately. I sometimes hear the notification tone, pick up the phone and unlock it to see a notification icon in the top bar for less than a second and then it's gone. Or if a notification comes in when I'm using the phone, I might see the notification in the list briefly and then it just vanishes.
Background tasks like Twilight or JuiceSSH with statusbar icons seem to get killed really aggressively. This seems to happen more to some apps than others, but I can't figure out any common denominator for the apps. It happens to both online and offline apps.
I've disabled everything related to Huawei's task killing/battery saving settings and added all apps to all exception lists that I've been able to find. Free memory seems to hover consistently around 500-700MB, I don't think I've ever seen free memory dip below 500MB.
It's hard to get good memory stats out of Android 7 without root, but it almost seems like the OS is pre-emptively keeping that 0.5GB of RAM free in case some foreground app wants a lot of memory, and it's willing to pre-emptively kill background tasks, even ones with status bar icons, to achieve it. I don't know if this is true, but Huawei doesn't seem to trust Android's own memory management much in general, with all their dumb "memory cleaning" and "battery optimization" stuff.
I'm at my wits' end here. I rely on seeing all notifications to keep up with reminders and other things, and I need background apps to stay there when I multitask. Custom ROMs aren't really an option, since I want everything on the phone to Just Work without any extra fiddling and hassle and I can't risk my only phone. I appreciate custom ROM developers' work though.
Thanks in advance for any useful answers.
On the P9 Lite with 2 GBs of RAM they are using more than 1.5GBs of zRAM which is crazy. I don't think that's needed at all. If your phone is rooted, you can install a Magisk module called Swap Torpedo to disable swap and maybe change some LMK values. Also you can disable the Power Genie app if you don't have root access.

I'm not rooted, because unlocking the bootloader and rooting would trip SafetyNet, which I can't afford because I need some apps that depend on SafetyNet and I don't want the whole cat and mouse game with Magisk trying to keep ahead of Google on that.
Thanks a lot for the Power Genie tip (called Power Genius on my phone), I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere else and will try it out. I hadn't noticed that process at all since it's running under AndroidSystem.
Edit: unfortunately the "Disable" button is grayed out on Power Genius, so disabling it doesn't seem like an option. I can stop it manually, but I assume it'll just get autostarted again. I don't seem to have permissions to hide it from adb shell either.
Same problem here (NEM-L51C432). It aggressively kills all background applications. This prevents multitasking. It is annoying to see a lot of RAM is free and will not be used. RAM is there to take use of it and not to keep it free.
As you all know there is an inbuilt applocker in emui and a pretty good one too.
But the one that is in emui 8 at least in my phone has a certain bug.
It shows and allows me to lock every single app I've installed except messenger.
It does not even show up in the list shown in the applocker.
This annoys me as I'm gonna have to install another third party applocker which'll consume more ram and affect the performance of the phone.
Now let me tell you that i'd installed a custom ROMs and then reverted back to complete stock. I had this issue then when I got the phone and still have it now.So I'm pretty sure it's a bug.
Does anyone have a fix for this? I really like the inbuilt applocker
First off, I know that there is a similarly named thread, but that one is regarding the eMMC. I'm talking about RAM here.
I have some questions about memory management of this phone. I list FB quite a lot and the thing that I notice is that every time I open an external link, the app reloads upon closing the internal web browser and just sends me back to the first post like the app reloaded. The same thing happens in Youtube very often. I would play a video, and after closing it, I would end up back at the top of my subscription feed. It's like these apps aren't kept in memory at all.
Now these aren't the only examples of such behavior, but they are the most obvious.
I'm not a heavy multitasker. I jump between 2-3 apps usually so I don't know what could be (if anything) hogging my system memory and if this is maybe a kernel "bug". If so, can I tweak it somehow to keep the apps in memory?
Also, has anyone else noticed such behavior?
I have a 64GB/4GB version and I've experienced this in both the August and September update...
Found what was causing such a behavior.
Under the developer options "Don't keep activities" was turned on. Disabled it and now everything is working as expected.
Just to note, I haven't fiddled with this option so it was out of the box like that and that might (and surely is one of) the reason we are seeing such low multitasking performance even compared to the 6X
It's not ticked here
It's not ticked on stock default, I have stock from last night.
I find the recent update One UI 2.0 / android 10 making my ram management worst. Before i don't even notice my apps reloading but now that i'm updated to android 10. i get app reload from time to time. Are you guys experiencing it too?

No I didn't see that through the beta and haven't seen it since I received the release version this morning. I'm on a US Snapdragon S10.
S9 Ram Management Issues
Im on my s9 snapdragon beta 3 and I see major
ram management issues. If I dont restart my
phone for 48 hours, I can open calendar, then
open calculator (the two smallest/lightweight
apps I can think of), just switching between these
two leads to reloading every time.
If I restart my phone everyday, I can open maps,
snapchat, spotify, 5 big apps or 10+ small apps no
problem.
