Looking to get info on apps people have deleted from their phones. Not bloatware, but other apps that run in the background that aren't needed. My edge + says i have about 52 apps running at one given time.

Don't know how many of you saw this, but I installed it last night, and it's awesome.

Basically, it allows you to stop apps from running in the background without disabling them. You can still run them like normal, but they don't eat up RAM when you're not. It does stop background functions, but many of the apps I see running like this don't do anything for me in the background anyway. YOU determine what runs in the background instead of your apps.
It doesn't work with system apps, these need to be moved to phone storage before Greenify can take control of them.
I've noticed a definite improvement in available memory and multitasking.

You will spend more battery in killing those apps. ram is supposed to be filled up, the only answer to run more apps is to get more ram , not kill running apps.
Did you read the post? It's not a traditional app killer. It prevents them from running in the background at all.
Installed this a few hours ago. Definitely smoother phone, and moderately better multitasking. Been trying to find a way to get rid of pesky Facebook which uses like 25 mb of RAM just to send you push notifications and sync your calendar.
You may need to convert Facebook to a user app first. It can't do anything to system apps. I did it with mine and it's now behaving.

I'm having problem with "deasapearing ram" Every 2-3 days i've to restart phone completly becouse when i check in working apps settings i've like 40-80 free ram. in use is about 780-820 mb. it does not add up to 1gb anyway. So when i have so little ram to use apps are force to close, mx player, some ****ty family guy app even chrome is closing down. apps like app killer are not helping tehy free like about 10-60 mb. anyone noticed something like me, any advice?
I think it is the phone, I have the same problem :/

i did it already through pc companion suite. no help at all.
Maybe root and uninstall bloatware can help you with this situation
this problem probaly because of too many background apps
and one more thing .. linux based OS , ram always been used everytime
you can disable some apps like google maps or integrated apps that u dont use
I have the similar problem with my RAM. As 1st, RAM is always at 70% usage.
How can i disable some applications permanently so they do not run by themselves? I dont want to unninstal them, just disable them, is it possible and if it is can u please tell me how to do it in few short steps.
Second thing, beside other apps i have installed Facebook, WhatsApp and CleanMaster app. Every time i go Settings -> Aplications -> Running Aplications, there are these 3 apps always running. I dont know whats causing them to be opened at all times. I think if i open Facebook (for example) even once, it stays up and running in background even if i remove it from that Dock Menu Tab by sliding it a side.
Is there anything i can do to make this stop, and save some of my RAM free?
Thanks in advance
4.3 is the worst from all versions in terms of memory handling. On top of that it comes very heavy on memory foot-print right after booting up.
After booting up your phone has about 300 - 350 Mb left to work with. Open your Navigation app and your browser, and the memory of your phone is "done". The happy apps reshuffling starts, causing screen lag and app start-up delay.
When a phone app with1 mB in size was considered big, and 5 mB of RAM consumption enormous, than shuffling things around was no prob. Now shuffle a 240 mB Navi app out of the memory, and replace it with that 70 mB home launcher when you are done. Takes the same time and is the same, right? And users have no clue how memory is used, right? And if so many complain about memory handling? But still, Many will tell us "unused RAM is wasted RAM".
What can you do?
- Root your pone and remove all apps you don't need, diligently and consequently
- Greenify user apps, in particular those which you do not need always.
- Rethink if you need to be on Viber, Whatsapp and Skype constanly. If not, greenify.
- Access Facebook from a browser, ditto for other functions and apps where a website is availabe and mostly does the same
- When installing a new app always go for the smaller one that just does what you need to do. Not the one with all the function that you could need, and not the one with more eye candy.
certain apps on android are a no-no. For example, facebook (from what I've heard) and skype use lots of resources and slow down the phone. You should disable or uninstall any app that isn't of use to you. To check the RAM usage of apps and disable them, go to settings -> apps, running will show you current apps, and if you go in all apps you can scroll through them and disable unneeded apps.

Search for an app that lets you manage startup apps on boot. Another way is Greenify, as it unloads apps from memory.
BTW. Cleanmaster is redundant in my eyes.
Thank you very much, this helped a lot.
i've disabled around 15 apps, some sony crap and stuff what i know what it is and i don't use. still the same.
Why don't Samsung phones keep apps running in the background... i see these speed tests of phones and Samsung are usually the quickest for the first round of apps, but the second run through of the apps Samsung's have to reload the app. Why?
Hi I have a concern about my next phone purchase (hopefully an Xperia 5 III).
I currently have an Xperia XZ2C that I'm looking to replace.
The main concern/frustration with it is a few pre-loaded apps that I don't want kept trying to load and also update (e.g. Facebook and Sony News)... it took a long while and lots of searching, but Sony was blocking users from uninstalling these and the only option I found was to completely root it, which I don't especially want to do as I'm tryign to leave my daily driver stock... or to mark them as disabled - they stop wasting battery or annoying me with update requests, but still waste storage space.
I mentioned this to a friend who has the Xperia 5 II and apparently this problem has got a lot worse as it now includes mandatory games that cannot be uninstalled (e.g. Call of Duty - which is over 2Gb + 3Gb for the first update!!).
Apparently these apps and games wasted nearly 10% of his phone - more than the entire operating system. Are these apps able to be properly uninstalled on the Xperia 5 III or is this unwanted bloat still stuck on the devices?
I actually like that game, but I'll stick to my PC / consoles.... maybe a tablet at a stretch.... no way I ever want it even installed on my daily driver phone!
Or failing that, I abandon the plans to keep it stock.... So how long before there is a stock+root for this phone? So I can start trying one of those bloatware removers?
I have a 5II, and I can deactivate unused system apps. They don't use that much space once they are deactivated. Also, if you really need them gone, you can always use ADB. It doesn't need root.
How to uninstall carrier/OEM bloatware without root access
If you want to get rid of carrier/OEM apps from your phone, here's how you can uninstall bloatware from your device without root access!

EDIT: Ok, just saw that pm uninstall also needs root if you want to do it for more than user0. Sorry for not realising.

This is true but at least it will uninstall it for you the end user. The only way it will show up again is if you do a factory reset. So technically yes it will still be there, but they don't take up that much room and at least they're gone from trying to do anything in the background. Also, if this will not uninstall it, you can also do the command to disable said bloat if you cannot disable it in settings.

Thanks for this - as per Jaseman's comment, this won't FULLY uninstall apps, but it's a great start as some "system" (bloatware) apps can't even be disabled is settings or if disabled will resurrect and re-enable themselves every time there's a system update ("Sony News", GRRRRRR!!!!)..... at least this way if it has something utterly ridiculous on a high-end "professional" phone, like Call Of Duty Warzone, then it will stop it from doing the 4Gb update!
Hello guys!
I'm using Samsung galaxy A70 ( non root ) running latest version.
The phone is very slow and laggy, I've noticed every system app running frequency 100%high everytime, I think this might be the issue if anyone knows a solution please help me out. Any suggestions would be helpful. And also I'm playing garena free fire when I play the game touch sensitivity and controls of the game seems really heavy when swiping and lags a lot.. please help
Model number ( SM-A704GM/DS )
I'm sorry for bad English
Many of the bloat apps ( Samsung added apps ) keep running in the background, devour RAM and battery and thus slow down and make the device less efficient.
Hence debloat it. Take note that can cet achieved with a temporary root.
FYI:
If you are going to delete bloat apps on a Samsung Galaxy device, make sure you also delete a file called PreloadInstaller.apk or most deleted apps will be automatically re-installed by your device on the next boot.

I appreciate your solution. And I want you to know I've performed factory data reset and after that lagging issue disappeared for 3 or 4 days, game worked without having any issues but after 4 days the same issue came back I don't know what happened. System app running frequency seemed normal after factory data reset but now all system app running frequency 100%high
