Brazilian version with only 2 gb certainly lacks in this deparment.

Pretty smooth and quick in my 4/32gb variant.

Nothing to complain about, my version is Brazilian with 2GB and Mult-task works fine, it just happens that it closes all open apps if I stop using the device for more than 5 hours, it happens when I'm sleeping.

My BR version 2/32 for now is working fine!! But there are many complaints from other users regarding lockups and crashes programs.

Us 2/32 variant (wished I would have gotten the 4) but so far not too bad. Had to replace a 9 month old lg g5 that bootloops when hot.
Might root it if it gets slow but for now it's ok.

4/64 version running pure nexus. Almost keeps too many apps hibernating. When I pull recent apps list to go back to something else I was doing I have found apps that were active days ago still hibernating. Memory has been stable across both rooms I have used.

Stock rom no root no bootloader unlocked antutu scores
64081 not bad.

I'm coming from a Zenfone 2 Z00A 4gb/32gb. Do you guys think that I will suffer with a 2gb RAM phone (Brazilian model only has 2gb)?
I never leave more than 5 apps in multitasking, and I always close all apps before locking screen (except when I'm listening music on Spotify or using YouTube with background playback).
Just using apps like Telegram, Facebook, Tapatalk, Chrome, YouTube, Spotify, Instagram, Greenify, Lastfm Scroobler and sometimes Netflix, Discord, Google Photos... And rarely playing games, and nothing like Asphalt 8, just more simple games that don't get all my battery. I just want to see no lag in my device while using those apps continuously. What you guys think?

By closing apps Android actually uses more memory and battery to reopen them I'm using 2 gig variant everything is smooth so no worries also look for alternatives to heavy apps like facebook metal is great and u can theme it

[Q] Is it possible to install too many apps?

I have had my Nexus S since Christmas. I love it! It is my 5th Android phone and by far the best, up until a couple of days ago I had not experienced any lag at all with the phone.
However recently the phone has been laggy, the back button seems to get stuck (with the backlight off) and it is starting to get unresponsive.
I am trying to work out what is wrong and I wonder if I have installed too many apps... I have >100 including lots of games. Almost all are installed to the SD card.
Could this be the cause of my problems?
Why would anyone install 100 game? I have well let me look hold.
1min later 423 games on SD thats close to 1.91gb but I only install 2-3games and when I finish I install another. Also your problem is you don't have BS service disabled which you should do and make sure they don't restart after shutdown on boot.
To be fair, of the >100 apps, i would say 30 are games
What is BS Service and how can I stop apps from starting automatically after reboot?
Huh Samsung failed again as Google supported them supplying folks with 512mb ram in 2011 talk about still unofficial stand on post mid2010 standard for new 2011 era. You wish you had that extra bit of ram now didn't ya
Anyways well you can use apps like Autostarts or Startup Auditor to disable service on boot/fc on restart. BS service lol well I think you know what "BS" means just disable anything you don't need which may be diff from person to person which is only what you know.

i'll not be surprised at all, as i have just well over 377 apps/games installed
games usually take most of the space, as it needs to download additional files from the net
i have to constantly keep deleting stuff to make space for more games / apps
i'll say 70% of my space is utilized by games, and 30% by apps
in which they are both shared by MP3 collection and MTV clips collection, as there is simply not enough space for movies

Do you find that the performance of your phone has reduced as you have added more apps/games?

nope
i have 4 screen of widgets in the launcher desktop
and the only thing i would consider lag (because all the apps were moved to SD) is the ICON loading time, but it doesn't slowdown the launcher, it just shows with the default green AOS icon instead of the pretty ones
using GO Launcher EX as my default, more features than LauncherPRO / ADW yet faster and FREE!
same with GO SMS
both offers great skin capabilities, and lots of FREE themes (skins) to download
Generally, lag is a result of a poorly coded app sucking your processing power down the drain.
I have uninstalled a load of apps and everything is now running smoothly again.
Just need to figure out which one is causing the problem now...
Thanks guys

[Q] Is there something wrong with our memory?

So I now have a Moto G 4G and previously had a Moto G dual sim and a s3 mini, all with 1GB of ram...
However, there is something seriously wrong with the ram on the moto G... The minfree is set to 300 MB and the phone gets to that point as a constant after about 2-3 days, making everything redraw worse than my optimus one...
I attached some screenshots...
Also, my cousin's nexus 4, with 2 gigs of ram, heavily bloated with useless background running apps by him, always has 1.5 gigs free ram... Can anyone figure this out? Is this happening in custom ROMs too?

I have a Moto G 3G and I didn't face the issue you're pointing out at all. Are you using some kind of task killers or memory management apps? In case you do stop using them and let Android the way is ment to be working. You didn't mention anything in particular so my advice, for now, is reset it from recovery and see what appens. Good luck!

No task killer, and resetting doesn't work, did that a lot of times on the 3G version... Even changed firmwares... Always the same.
My problem is that chrome treats tabs as background processes, so when I run low on ram, they close even when on foreground....

I'm running greenify in boost mode only, no task killers, along with a ton of kids games, on my kids' moto g.
Some games will only play one time, and have to have data cleared to be playable again as restarting or clearing cache doesn't work.
Some other games are extremely laggy, or have frequent freezes/pauses in the middle of playing, or the touch becomes unresponsive.
Watching videos in youtube works fine for about 4 or 5 videos before they start to get choppy or it'll just crash back to homescreen.
It happened on stock rooted.
It's happening on newest Gummy.
I seriously have no idea what to do to fix this, and just told the kids to deal with it.

[APP][2.2+] YouTube No Screen - Play YouTube in the background!

UPDATE 1.0.1: This update should hopefully remove some of the issues with buggy audio, and the app will now work much nicer with the screen off!
Hey guys! So whilst working on another app, I discovered a pretty sweet loophole in Google's code that allows my app to play YouTube videos in the background, even if the screen is off!
Here's the thing: I don't have many devices to test on SO I need you guys to try it out for me and let me know how it works for you!
This app is and always will be free. If you wish to buy me a beer please click the "Donate to Me" button in the sidebar of my posts.
Feel free to ask any questions!
By the way, yes a five year old did make my icon

By the way, if anyone wants to provide a better icon than mine, I'll take it!
Works quite well on my 1+1 with MahdiROM 4.4. Audio is a bit choppy when typing or switching apps, but that could be due to my device being underclocked to 1.7GHz.
Thank you Bro ? Awesome

Great app! Will you continue development ?
Btw works great on Samsung Galaxy young GT-S6310
Edit: If i'll have any good idea, i'll make an icon for it.
Edit 2 I just realized that it doesn't support playlists :more precisely playing next video in background.
Not working on Pixel. No background playback at all.

works fine on s7 edge (sm-g935F) @ android 7.0
Can you make a Version, running in the Background so you can play Videos on YT and work at the same time ...

After playing pokemon, when you go back to Home, the home reloaded!
Multitasking in miui is a bit different and its awesome, also it depends how you configure it in the security app.
U have to lock your apps in the recent apps screen. Otherwise if the app does nothing in the background, OS will kill it.

It's not awesome! It's terrible. The lazy OS don't do your job and play it to back of users.
I hate to lock/unlock the apps, it's feels like a workaround.
Poor RAM management on my Mi5 is the main reason I'm not using it at the moment.
After going back to my HTC 10, it's amazing how terrible it is on the Mi5. To be fair, the 10 has an extra GB of RAM (4 vs 3 on the Mi5), but still, the overview screen (recents) always lists >500 MB free, yet still closes apps so quickly, even music apps while they're playing music.
I'm intend to buy a Xiaomi Mi 5s Plus, the 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM edition, I think it would more fast than Mi 5, But I'm not sure. I saw someone say 6GB OnePlus 3 still shutter.

It is indeed faster. SD821 configuration differs significantly in the LITTLE cluster with 820. The one in Mi 5s Plus is clocked 2.2 GHz, much higher than 1.6 Ghz in Mi 5 Prime/Pro.
In Pro version you have even too much RAM

Never had issues but ram management seems to be poor in miui.
Terrible RAM Management on "Distributor edition" MIUI 7.
Phone sometimes lag (terribly), restarted but still lags.
It even managed to restart during a boss fight in a game! Just wonderful!

Xperia XZ Serious Overheating Issues

Hey guys in the past week my XZ has been having some serious overheating issues. Even just idling at the home screen it sits at around 40-45c. It seriously makes the phone unusable since when you open anything it just warms up quick and throttles hard. I was thinking it was the last patch that came out so I unlocked the bootloader and tried out a couple of roms like carbon rom which was buggy as hell and slimbit aosp. No improvement. Tried out eXistenZ 6.0 which is what im still on now and no improvement. I honestly have no clue whats going on if anyone can help me that'd be great. Do you guys think my battery could be needing replacement? The phone isint even a year old. I have also tried the FSCv2 mod and still no improvement.

Change habit that after clean flash instantly install everything that exists in the playstore , especially various CPU/memory/battery monitors.
Install one aplication at a time until you find the problem.
btw, carbonrom Is excellent rom like all the other AOSP ROMs for the XZ

I don't think its a certain app I installed since it just started happening out of nowhere after no new apps have been installed. Android battery menu doesn't show any excessive battery drain from apps either. Even after I did a clean flash it was getting super hot and throttled in the setup process.
*Edit* It actually got to 50c while simply replying to your reply in Chrome and lagged tf out of my keyboard. Literally about to throw this phone at a wall.
So I've undervolted the cpu and the phone still reached 53c after browsing Instagram for about a couple minutes. Im seriously loosing my **** at this point. Im seriously thinking that this phone needs a new battery or something even tho its less than a year old.
Update. Did a fresh install of stock rom using flashtool and it throttled during the setup process and still throttles with no apps just trying to send a text message or simply play a song using google play music. Seriously nobody has a clue what is going on? I literally have to have my phone next to a fan just to do anything on it.
I discovered that my battery is only at 38c usualy so I think its safe to say that my battery is okay. My cpu is constantly pinned at 45+ and I only get about 3-4 hours out of a full charge. Did google play services get an update or something? I have no apps installed in my phone still. I seriously need any help
