RAM management is Okayish

Ram management is not good. Heavy apps like pubg cannot run smootly and get reloaded when you use another app

The answer is gonna be different depending on whether you have the 4GB or 6GB version. My 6GB version is working very smooth, but I do think that the stock Pie rom closes apps a bit too aggressively. I assume this helps to save battery. My bootloader is unlocked, so eventually I plan to try out some custom roms too, and hopefully the RAM management will be a little less aggressive.

My device 6 months older now, stock ROM, now i can experience sluggishness in operation, i use stock launcher.
Sometimes it takes few sec pause to shuffle app, sharing between different apps, there are some glitches in performance now. Mine is 4gb/64gb variant.

I'm facing the same problem. While switching between apps, it freezes for a second. Don't know why this problem is. On the Mi A2, nothing like this happens. Very poor OS Management.

I don't think so. I'm using this from last one week and everything seems to be working fine. I have a lot of apps installed but they don't freeze nor does the system kills them automatically. I have enabled automatic battery management. I think you guys have little storage left in your internal memory. Try resetting your devices and it should start working fine. In case if it doesn't then it may be the wear and tear part for which I need to be prepared. Thanks.

Any custom roms improve pubg performance the device is Nokia 6.1plus 4gb reply me

[Q] N5 Performance 6 months on

Xda!
I have noticed in the last month my N5 starting to become laggy. To be fair I do push it to the limit. I have over 180 apps installed, it's rooted but on a stock ROM with some Xposed mods.
I'm quite aware that a factory reset would sort my issues out but I simply do not have the patience to input all my user data again to get back to where I am today.
Do the good people of XDA have suggestions on diagnosis for my lag, which has become noticeable. Is there a way for me to find out what processes or potential issues I may have which are begining to really hurt my performance and user experience.
Day one this was the zippiest device I'd ever been fortunate enough to lay my hands on. I want that back!
Do you ever wipe the cache/Dalvik? If not, I would start there.

Although I think there is a certain element of getting used to the speed of the device over time (so a perceived slow down takes place), the installation of apps that run on boot can also cause issues.
I think the best bet is Greenify anything that you don't need running in the background. For example, the BBC Weather app seems to want to stay in memory 24/7 when I maybe use it once a day. If there are 10 such apps using RAM, that will impact performance more than anything. The number of installed apps should actually have quite a small impact on performance if they are "dormant".

Thank you for the two suggestions.
Clearing the Dalvik and cache took an age but seems to have made an immediate impact once the system settled in on boot. I haven't updated my greenify list in ages so that is something I will box shortly....

[Q] Why my Nexus 5 seems to slow down time to time

Hey guys,
Have you noticed that your Nexus 5 slows down time to time? Couple times per day my phone slows down significantly and starts almost to micro stutter. UI is not working 60fps and everything seems just little bit laggy. And again maybe hour or two later my phone feels super smooth. Is there some background processes in Android which causes this behavior or is it something in Nexus 5? If there is something that can be done, please share your tips.
questions go into q&a, not general.
and there is no right answer for you, as it can be one of a multitude of things. only you know what apps you have installed and what you use. it even can be your phone just freeing ram, if your ram is full. i can literally think of 20n things off the top of my head that can cause that. what info you gave us, pretty much none, wont get you any answers.

State ROM, kernel, mods used.
I had the same experience if I flashed mods such as optimised dalvik/bionic and Qualcomm latest GPU drivers.
Also had this when I used Xposed framework. Certain modules would just go haywire after a certain amount of hours.
Another thing is that certain ROMs, degrade system performance as the number of features rises up. So it might be your ROM.
Well this happens on every rom (even stock), with and without any mods or custom kernels, and that is precisely why I am asking. I am well aware that custom roms, kernels and mods can cause this kind of behavior, but this thing happens in all configurations. It happens whether I have installed 2 or 75 apps. Move thread if necessary.

Is your storage almost full? NAND tends to slow down considerably as it fills up just like with SSDs.
Most likely though it's a service you have running.

i'm using the 3gb ram/64gbrom version, and i hink that the amount of ram is just enough for what i need i usually have like 4 to 5 apps open and switching between them seems to be working well no apps are closing or restarting when switching from one app to another
Im using the 4gb ram/32gb rom version i use 2 and 3 apps. Multitasking key says 2 or 2.2/4gb ram left.

I was expecting the phone to have trouble multitasking. But for normal use using apps (not games) it works perfectly. I haven't had any apps close on me while I was switching between them.
Just be sure to use the default launcher. Tried using nova for a while and multitasking would slow the phone to the point of making it unusable.
I am the 4gb, 64gb version and I use Nova launcher and I'm able to multitask and do anything I want without problems. I easily go over 24hours of usage with at least 6hours of screen on time, with gaming. Very happy of the phone.
For some reason i cant reply on me regular account.. anyway with a clean flash i am experiencing google play store just hanging at pending with all apps, has anyone else experienced this on the latest build? 1/31

Same here. I have the 4gb 64gb version, unlocked bootloader, root with recovery. All bloatware removed or frozen via TWRP.
I have an average of 2.6-2.8gb free ram!!
This phone is FAST and I'm also able to get around 6 hours SOT over a 24 hour period easily. VERY impressive for a 6'' device, really amazing battery and efficient processor.
Surprisingly good RAM management on this phone. Like others have said, if you flash a custom ROM you can get some really good performance out of this phone.

januari stock rom

I personnaly feel this stock rom is worse then previous stock, it's not as fast and verry battery hungry i'm lucky to get 4.5 hrs of SOT. When i open a few apps it grinds to a hold and stopps opening the app all together. I flashed Oreo a few days ago and it's mutch better than the latest stock. I think people want to improve on theire firmware, not go back or down
The general thought I have is that the devices are always better with their launch rom. Every update/upgrade screws something.

Not sure if that applies to every phone but, for this phone it's definitely correct. I was using Pie/Q ROMs for a while and I was happy with them. Until I've downgraded to Oreo. In Oreo the phone is blazing fast and has insane battery life. But some apps don't work properly, especially full-screen apps like Instagram stories or photo viewing in WhatsApp. Other than that, out of all the ROMs I've tried on this phone, stock Oreo (9.6.11.0) was the best in terms of performance and battery. But I remember in my old Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, custom ROMs made the phone a beast. Unfortunately, this phone seems to get worse and worse with every update.

Not all have the same experience, as my Mi A2 Lite was very laggy with Oreo out from the box, even dialer app is very laggy. Until 10.0.3.0 came and it was snappy (not as I wanted to, but at least not as bad as Oreo on my phone). Then the June update came and it was more laggy than Oreo and I called it SD card eater as it also literalky destroyed my 2 SD cards. The jump on custom ROMs did the fix on me and I don't mind the Xiaomeme updates afterwards.
I prefer Pie over Oreo, with every security patches, I feels the phone become more smoother and snappier. I've disabled some system apps that I really don't use too much like Google, chrome and YouTube. Never tested tough with those apps enabled.

With those apps enabled, it never affected with its performance when I was on stock. Its just the June (and I think July) updates were just buggy here.

It does affected the performance, especially when playing games like PUBGM, you'll noticed the difference. Some apps (system nor user apps) do a background check, some of them always on standby state. 4 gb of RAM is large enough for multitasking but Daisy CPU not too high for handling multiple foreground and background activities. Just set your choice through the Developer Option.

I usually don't play games on my phone, and I have 3GB version.
