Anybody experiencing horrendous multitasking since upgrading to 10? I mean 9 was bad but man this one takes the cake. Reopening an app from recents is like launching it fresh from the app drawer. This is so goddamn bad.
YouTube videos routinely close in the background, Android auto obviously gets shut down by the absolute **** memory management and relaunches itself constantly, and my gesture navigation gets killed in the background leaving me no way to switch apps.
This phone functions like it has 1gb of ram. My old nexus 6 running 6.0 with 3gb of ram rips through multitasking so I'm suspecting it's just the software that's absolute ****.
For reference I've tested this on a completely bone stock image and now using all these placebo magisk add-ons and none seem to help.
Goddamn.
That's what I don't miss about the pixel 3xl. I still have the phone but after using the OnePlus 7pro it's hard to go back because the extra ram and ram management is just killing the pixel. I've had apps stay open for days with no effect on battery. Took me awhile to in unlearn my habit of closing all my apps in recents to play games and YouTube without one or both apps getting killed in the background. Memory management on all pixels is pure arse and from experience there's nothing you can do about it.
Not very severe in my opinion, I mean youtube, maps nav plus one or two games in background survives half a day. Also no difference since first ram problems(leaks in 9 vs vs )
But, yes ram is 4 gigs plus apps getting heavier and heavier plus android 10 and apps is not good ramwise(optimization required but who should do it ? IOS maybe ?).
Lets face it, 4 gigs is low for today standards and most develeopers do not care about ram requirements when most cost companies increasing their ram every day like no tommorow.
Example; I opened youtube, silent age, Hill climbing racing, whatsapp, chrome with 6 tabs and maps. All I got left 300 mb of Ram which means if I contine some will start shutting down.
And if I force close all of them only 800 mb of Ram will be available, And I am not using those facebook, twitter or instagram apps

Facebook Messenger And and in Some App UI Lag badly no smoothness at all even we are on 6 core no fun DO any 1 notice the same thing...
Hm.. only sometimes the Memory Handling seems to Fail and The System eats up The Wohle RAM. Then The launcher has to reload. Have not faced in-App Lagging Till now but i usually use lighter apps
Sorry for The Sperling -- Auto correction
Using snapchat and even just the regular camera, I am experiencing a lot of lag when the camera is first loading up.
snapchat is really slow.
instagram is slow as well/
anyone else seeing the same problem?
The camera and instagram apps don't lag for me. But Snapchat definitely does -- it's pretty bad. But that is absolutely the only app that I have experience any kind of lag with.
Snapchat lags pretty bad and gsm battery stats. IG is not laggy at all for me
I'm also experiencing lag after launching regular camera app. It takes a few seconds for the app to settle down and be able to focus/take pictures.
I'm also experiencing lag if you take multiple HDR+ photos in a roll....
I hope Google could optimize the app more.
The Google Play Newsstand app gets very laggy for me if I view a few feeds in a row.
I get most of my lag in Chrome when viewing a page with lots of images. Sometimes the phone lags when I unlock it and tries to switch apps. Memory leak issue like Lollipop?
Try signing up for snapchat beta, when I first got my 5X the lag in snapchat was unbearable, each of the 3 snapchat updates since first using the 5X have greatly improved the usability of the app. Still lags on camera startup and while taking pictures, but the rest of the app has gotten a lot better of the past few days.
Make sure you are running the latest software build, MDB08I. I don't use Snapchat but it definitely helped smooth out the camera app

Snapchat is an incompatibility with marshmallow. I had it with my nexus 6 as well
I have not noticed egregious lags, but frame drops are aplenty. Google's animation team did a wonderful job to hide the most irritating aspects of animations, but anyone who is semi-sensitive to dropped frames can see frames dropping left and right.
Stock camera definitely lags more often than not for me. I do have Camera FV-5 so I might give that a try more and see if it's more reliable.

Snapchat lag is horrible, basically can't use it
I'll have to try out Snapchat Beta and see if it fixes it otherwise, this really blows.
If you use Casper instead of the official Snapchat app, you'll see significantly less lag. I still get some bad freezes even with SC uninstalled, though
I've noticed some lag here and there, but nothing worse than I was seeing on my Nexus 5 previously. I'd like to see if disabling the encryption has any positive impact on these kinds of behaviors. Presently I don't have a reliable way to make the N5X start lagging but if anyone else does, maybe we can begin working around it.

I didn't know about Casper, thanks!!!
I didn't noticed any lag on mine..
The Lag is real
This phone acts so slow compared to the rooted and flashed Nexus 5 I had, its laggy between switching apps, browsing, FB and even when simply going to the home screen from whatever I was doing. I've tried downgrading the animation scales in Dev Settings and still. Not sure ifi will need to return phone or root and flash.....
Been seeing quite snappy performance all around, quite similar to my old z2. The camera definitely has a little stutter as it is first opened though. I'd like to blame some of the stutters and weirdness I am currently experiencing to the state of apps on marshmallow. By weirdness, I mainly just get some bizarre behavior from the hangouts app.
Performance is quick and snappy just like my N5.
Mine is laggy like a dog in the stock camera app while loading/changing from portrait to landscape/taking the photo.
I've had years old androids run faster than that. I hope there is a fix soon.
INTEX CLOUD SWIFT
A device having power of 4g, USB OTG support, Hd display etc in a very affordabl price of 8000rs.
Review by droid_god
Didnt found much flows in hardware or software. But a thing to mention is that the 2500 mAh battery runs 8 hours on 3g downloading.
Now starting the specifications.
1--> DISPLAY
A 720*1280 resolution display with soft navigation buttons inside scren display, leaving only 720*1182 resolution as maine diaplay.
Hd resolution with 320dpi ands the device in the range of medium pixel density devices.
LCD panels display with MIRA VISION software where you can control pre definednset of assets ofndisplay like brightness, contrast, sharpness, color temperature, color quantity, and dynamic contrast.
Touchpanel is multitouch supported upto 5 fingures.
****the device minimum brightness is a little too high for night use. I recommend using an app named "Dimley".
2--> BACK CAMERA
8MP camera with resolution of 3840*2160 (16:9 ratio) and 3264*2448 (4:3 ratio) and 2160:2160 (1:1 ratio)
Camcoder having 1920*1080 as 1080p
Single Led flashlight and auto focus. zero shutter lag click option is awsome
3--> FRONT CAMERA
5MP camer with resolution of 3072*1728 (16:9 ratio) and 2560*1920 (4:3 ratio) and 1728*1728 (1:1 ratio)
Camcoder having 720*480 as 480p
No flashlight in front but zero lag shutter click option avilable
####The camera app is having good options to control the jpeg quality like sharpness, contrast, brightness, hue etc.
****i recommend using camera mx app
4--> CONNECTIVITY
Having dual sim comfort made more comfortable with 4g emabled on both sim.
Both sim can run on 2g/3g/4g.
Micro sim slots.
Wifi/hotspot/wifi direct features avilable. HotKnow is a good frature for connecting teo intex cloud swift devices together.
GPS for navigtion. Useful on offline maps for navigtion between places.
USB OTG supported. Run harddisk, flash drives, usb periferals, gamepads etc qith the devices.
Bluetooth having internet sharing option is good.
5--> BATTERY
2500 mAh 3.7V removable battery is just barable with this device. The battery is not made to last a day, but can go at 6-8 hours for gamers and 20-25 hours on 2g moderate use amd 40-48 hours of no internet and moderate use with less screen wakeups.
Battery drains from 100% to 88% in 1:55 hours of playing Hd movie at full volume and lowest brightness.
Brothers in arms 3 drain approx 3-5% battery in one stage. While caatle defence drain 3-5% battery in 4-5 stages.
Music playback is good eminem 17 song album drin 8% battery.
****i do not recommend downloading any dattery defender or app like that. They simply run background and consumes.more battery.
6--> PERFORMENCE AND STORAGE
3gb RAM (2.8gb usable) is very fast. I never got a hang in my 2 and a half month use of the device havng more than 30 apps installed and 6 big games like gangster vagus and brother in arms 3 and mortal kombat x.
Quad core 1.3ghz cortex a53 processor gave the device wings and withbtht power you can play two games one at foreground while other at background.
MALI T720 gpu giving device graphics a peak performence and quality ballance. Thia gpu can take heavy loads of graphics without lags. I playes brother in arms 3 and gangster vagus and mortal kombat x at highest graphics without lag.
internal 16gb (11.5gb to 11.2gb usable) and an external support of 128gb. Have a single sd card slot.
Basically while on 3g use and all apps updating like whatsapp, facebook all gapps, twitter, 1.3 gb is free RAM sonyounjever face a hang problem.
****do not install any RAM booster they drain battery and kills system.apps sometimes creating trouble.in longrun.
7--> SENSORS
ACCELOMETER
PROXMITY SENSOR
LIGHT SENSOR
THERMAL SENSOR (for battery and other motherboard related hardwares)
8--> SPECIALS
Device is packed with amazing features like Smart Wake feature and Smart Wake feature and gesture control boosting devuce user interface to extremes level. MIRA VISION is a mind blowing feature to use.HotKnot is a feature like sony's NFC.
Lollipop 5.1 version used in this device allows uaer to move apps and huge game data to external sd card and save internal space WITHOUT ROITING.
After using device inthink intex will release a marshmellow update. But i dont know when.
Device have its oum sound enhansments for speaker, head phones and bluetooth.
These are the features packed in a very affordable android device. Now time to look at bugs and loops in devices.
1--> to download big apps from play store. You have to unmount your sd card first then download big apps from play store.after doing that mount your sd card and move app to sd card. Then after moving app , manually move data of that app to sd card.
2--> have many pre installed bloatwares. They cant be stotally removed.
3--> a low power battery for heavy users.
4--> camera have no special sensor like BSI, XMOR etc
5-->default gallery app is robust and did not refines images on zooming.
Hey guys,
How is it this phone can't seem to even keep 2 apps in memory!? Google Maps navigation dies if I step into Instagram and record a video to my story. Obviously there's other background services running as well, but I try to keep very few unused apps. Is 2GB of RAM just not enough for Nougat? What have you guys done to try and help the situation? I am on stock rooted Android 7.1.2.

Maybe try using greenify to hibernate some of the apps that are running in the background. Or try to adjust the minfree ram values via some kernel managing app like Kernel Adiutor
I have no memory problem.
You are using two the most memory heavy tasks (maps and video recording). I get my background apps closed even when I launch Camera.
Pretty normal behaviour

Yea... I guess 2GB just isn't cutting it for multi tasking these days!

It depends. For me, multitasking is working just fine. I can use Word and Chrome simultaneously and from time to time switch to Inbox by Gmail without getting any app closed.
The only thing that truly kills multitasking on the 5x for me is HDR photo (which even kills music players) and gaming in general as it struggles to keep anything active once a game loads.
I recently transitioned away from Samsung to the Pixel and I miss the Game Launcher app and the Sound Assistant app which had functionality that I haven't seen in other apps.
I have tried installing their APK and they just crash whenever I launch them. Is there a way to get these working?
You would need to install the apps they are dependent on to install, load and run.
Probably some it is baked into the Samsung firmware.
Samsung heavily mods the Android OS especially starting with Android 10.
The Pixel landscape is barren by comparison.
You also lost the SSC codec so if you have any of the Samsung Buds bt series devices, that is their optimal codec.
Lol never thought someone would miss Samsung apps !
Old habits die hard, change is hard; ask any Android->iOS/ iOS->Android switcher. You need a lot more of the One UI Framework for Samsung apks to work.

What features - exactly - are those two apps offering that you can't seem to find with other apps?

Game Launcher I never use but Sound Assistant I use constantly, it provides up to 100 increments for volume control.
On my N10+ Q variant there are literally dozens more small Samsung system akps that make the Q UI user friendly and functional compared to my N10+ Pie variant.
Android 11 and 12 are all messed up... doubt even Samsung can clean it up completely.
Q is still user friendly/functional on Samsung flagships though.
The Samsung One UI is fast, efficient, rock solid stable with the best customization of any stock Android. At least half dozen Galaxy store add ons for increased customization that aren't available otherwise. It's a very good ecosystem.
My N10+'s look like and act I want them to.
You simply can't mod and trick out a stock Pixel to near this degree... par for the course.

The Samsung Sound Assistant App offers individual app control for volume and some other finer granular controls on a per-app basis, e.g. one app that is constantly too loud is Instagram in comparison to other apps and I usually cut its volume by 20% and some games I only like a slight sound from meanwhile others I like at full volume and have them automatically set to the levels I like is rather handy. This functionality is built into an overlay app that is integrated with the sound settings so you don't need to exit an app to adjust volume levels.
The Samsung Game Launcher, in my opinion, is far superior to the Google Play Game Launcher as the user interface has a better layout which helps with navigation and opening apps, there is also optional game muting options, discord integration, and the instant apps are a better selection (rather than just booting a store app temporarily, which is also handy). The ability for the launcher to hide all of the game icons so you know you only need to go to one app to find your games, there is some optimisation built into the app (disabling some things to make games run faster but this is hardly relevant with a powerful phone). The last thing is that the Samsung Game Launcher ads are less intrusive when you have the app in folder mode (appears over the top of the ads).
