This is just so annoying.
I was playing a game on FPSE during the lunch break. At 13:30, back to work, did not have the opportunity to save my game. Nevermind, I just put the telephone on screen saver / lock screen so that I can continue later, after the work.
...
...
...
Meanwhile I received a text. Fine, I can read it and possibly answer to it... Android is supposed to hadle multitask rather well after all.
...
...
...
Pwned.
After texting, back to FPSE, just to check and make sure that it's still on... Just to notice that the app has been killed by Android...
This is sooo annoying. It's supposed to be mobile phone specialized in gaming. You should be able to interrupt your game to answer a call or a message!!!
I previously owned a Nokia N8 Powered by Symbian^3. It was much much more efficient. Could lauch many apps without worrying of the multitaking. Apps where running in the background, not simply killed by the OS...
Any similar experience to share guys? (or solution, but I doubt there is any...)
What you are experiencing is the brilliant idea of putting a small amount of ram into a android gaming phone (well thought out, Sony). When the ram is low and another app needs to use that ram, Android will automatically kill another app to claim free ram. The problem Android has is it uses Java as the base programming language. The problem with Java is it is a resource hog and totally steals as much ram as possible...see the problem yet? Also, the problem Sony has is that they are stupid.
And now for the reasons. Google choose Java as the base because of its popularity and ease of use for noobs at programming, which is also why there are so many bad apps in the Google Market compared to the iphone. While this was a smart choice for Google at the time to help accelerate their market growth to help catch up with the ios market, it's now a problem they'll always have as a consequence to that choice. To counter this problem of having a horrible base program language android phones constantly needs to have ridiculous specs in order to have comparable performance to the iphone (quad core, gig of ram, phones anyone?).
So there you have it, the core and unavoidable problem with Android. An operating system so inefficient that it warrants quad cores with close to pc specs (That is amazingly bad). So bad that they must've been really high when the folks at Sony thought it was a good idea that a GAMING phone would only need a single core with crap ram. Well played.
So what you are saying is, the entire Android platform is garbage because you made that decision with a garbage phone? Try multitasking on the SG3, then come back. Or, go deal with the fake multitasking of iOS.
you can try supercharger, n use multitasking choice, that's the best multitasking option that i ever try, altough it will makes your free RAM under 70 MB, but multitasking is very great....

All I'm saying is Android is inefficient. This is generally known and Google has been constantly criticized because of it. Going back to my point, this is why manufactures are pushing out quads on their phones.

I provided information on the problem...? I think a better question would be why are YOU here? You didn't provide anything on this thread.
just wonder if V6 supercharger bulletproof app might help?
Tje great thing about android is that normally there is an app for whatevet you need or a flashable zip or a script ect so it just takes a quick search and abitta time and you could be tip top and there's allways the quick save feature in fpse

Coreyon answered to my question and I thank him for that. Now I understand why multitasking does not work on Android, or at least on Android phones with few ram. Still, N8 had 256mb ram but handled multitasking perfectly.
Anyway, mathacer and foryou168 gave some advices that might be helpful. I had some answers, that was the point of this thread...
I'm sure I'm not the only one who experienced that kind of problem...

Inefficient because it ran out of RAM? OEM's are pushing for quads because the software and Linux foundation is the most advanced out there. No other mobile is has such supreme multitasking and such a myriad of emulation apps.
Enable zRAM or use a swap partition if you expect this low-RAM device to keep a 32-bit-era console emulator in the background while doing phone functions.
Or get a tablet for gaming. Its still just a smartphone dude.
Or get an iPhone.
Or learn development and help the "horrible android" to be better.

Android is insufficient, but on my Galaxy S3 samsungs multitasking is absolutely terrible for 1GB, but now once I flashed the Multitaskingfix I have to say its like multitasking on a 2GB android device, I love it! and in the latest leak (with Multi view, etc) XXELK4 4.1.2 the ram used is almost half of what is used on 4.1.1, Love you samsung! can't say that about Sony, but Xperia play will always be with me until I get use to Touch screen gaming.
For everyone that somehow got offended when I said Android is inefficient, please read on. Android IS inefficient, but that does not mean it's a bad operating system. I personally use it myself. It's certainly better than ios with Apples lockdown. The great positives of Android is that it uses the Linux kernel which is very advanced, and the entire operating system itself is very customizable (partly thanks to java it self).
Now with that said, like I've mentioned I don't know how many times now, it will always have a problem as apps and games become more and more advanced; there will always be the new apps that pushes the hardware to a new level and with the Android overhead will cause it to be slower than it could be. A good example of this is how Minecraft (with its amazingly bad graphics) on the PC needs Crysis-like specs to play with good fps on a PC. That's ridiculous, and it's because the game runs in Java. I know there is Minecraft for Android, but let's be honest it's a very very small map that barely has any of the pc gameplay, otherwise the phone would explode. However, just like Android, even with Minecraft's horrible lag issues it is still an awesome game, and is very easy to customize the game which is also very awesome. Does everyone understand my point now?

I AM a developer, and I have had the pleasure of struggling with Java's limitation on a multiple array of platforms. I do know what I'm talking about, it's a well known issue.
I'm personally suprised Java is still alive
Thought it would have died years ago because java programs would be slow as molasses/bog down any PC.
So I'm surprised it actually runs decently on phones... tho the phones are more powerful than PCs from a few years ago lol
And yeah, its' the same old cycle.
Software always gets bloated as hardware specs increase so it's tough to get ahead - kinda like how inflation negates pay raises

I can agree from my experience with Java software, especially the security concerns. I heard a saying: hell is a world where Java is the only programming language. I'm more annoyed by Google trying to do things different and separating itself from Linux standard.
I have to say you are very lucky to present your thoughts here, if this was a Nexus forum all hell would break loose. The Nexus fanboys are relentless.

Aha, I should've made a thread for this. This went way off topic from the original purpose of the thread.
JAVA OS?
I thought IOS apps were Java also?
Either way, they have similar "multitasking", except that the programmer can control how an Android app "moves through the states" (ie. from pause when its in background to being killed) so if the FPSE programmers took advantage of the power of Android OS, they could have set the game to do a save as it was killed...
In fact, Android AUTOMATICALLY dumps some of the programs memory when killed involuntarily (the OS needs more RAM) so really, all the programmer needs to do is check to see if there is a bundle already there when the programs oncreate() is (re)called - if so, then resume!
developer[dot]android[dot]com/training/basics/activity-lifecycle/recreating.html
For the record I hate Java, and more so - ECLIPSE (Java IDE that was also itself made in Java) makes me want to shoot myself in the face whilst listening to Enya and letting spiders crawl on my testicles.

I don't touch ios even with a 50 foot pole, but I'm pretty sure ios apps don't use Java. Even if they did, the core operating system doesn't, and that's enough to make a huge impact difference in performance.
I heard about some developer porting Android to C+. By passing all those legal issues with Microsoft, if Android ran on C+ wouldn't it fix all the lag much like Project Butter has and evidently fixed the incredible RAM usage by the device?
Dear Windows Phone users,
I've decided to go back to Android after being part of this community for almost halve a year now. I would like to thank GoodDayToDie, -W_O_L_F-, jessenic, reker, hjc4869, compu829, contable, ngame and snickler for creating apps and hacks which helped ease the pain and extend the time I had my Ativ S (to be honest I wasn't all too happy of my WP in the first place, a friend had recommended it). I loved being part of this WP community, but the frustration I had with the OS were too severe to cope any longer with WP. Reasons for departure are as following :
- I was getting bored with the slow official app development and the lack of update/support on both official and non-official apps that were released.
- I was experiencing a lot of lag lately on my Ativ S, even more FC/CTD's and freezes than my cheap ZTE Skate. Could be the apps, I was using : 9gag by Rudy Huyn (he's going to make the official tinder app allegedly, wonder how this goes) and an unofficial tweakers app, but I experienced this far too often to ignore also with other apps (Flash Player, etc).
- The battery was discharging even when plugged in (overnight 100% -> 89% when plugged in). Drain of 30% over two hours WiFi use.
- I was sick and tired of the Nokia dominance on the WP market, if you see how many free apps (Plex, Hot Rod Racers,...) they could download and I couldn't (even with the proxy trick).
- I was sick and tired of the rumors around Windows Phone, if you follow WPCentral and WMPoweruser, you get almost depressive of the cheer improbability of the rumors created (eg. Sony which going to make a WP, how do they think Sony will react if they see Xbox Music + Video and Xbox Games on their hardware, Microsoft making an exception is also very improbable because this means they have to give in). Uninstalling WPCentral and WMPoweruser isn't an option as you may miss notifications on great deals (eg. all angry birds temporally free or temporally free Asphalt 8 or temporally free Disney games).
- Too many promises (GDR1, GDR2, GDR3 and WP 8.1 is going to be the same thing), so little result.
- Biggest bloat ("system" and "other" partition) I've experienced on any OS I've used.
- The fact that Microsoft is fighting against interop-unlock, by encrypting everything and forcing Samsung to plug their FCRouter exploit. The only advantage is a safer OS, but this also isn't true if you saw what happened with the hacked KPN app installed from the official Windows Store, stealing data from WP users. Source : http://wmpoweruser.com/the-danger-o...dows-phone-app-steals-thousands-of-passwords/
- Too many users who ask if they could flash Android on a Windows Phone (no obviously), and too many times the same answer that WP is better as Android (everyone is entitled to their own opinion) and that if you wanted Android, you should have bought an Android Phone (which I have done a couple of days ago).
- I got a good deal on a brand new Nexus 5 (16 GB) getting it for 335 euro (there was a temporally discount of a big concern with the discount being the percentage of the BTW (similar to the VAT in the UK)), far less expensive as a brand new similar Nokia Lumia 1520 (same place, same discount at 549 euro, I admit it has a better camera and a bigger screen, but I don't need any of those things, smartphones outdate too fast to be spending over 500 euro on a device).
You may think different on these points than me and I respect that (again everyone is entitled to their own opinion). But I hope you can respect my opinion and my decision to go back. This post is not to convince people switching back to Android, oh no, but to explain why I'll leave this part of the xda forums.
Take care.

The fact that your device was lagging and the battery drain was even there when charging shows that it was...uhm...some kinda buggy/faulty/bricked. This and some other points in your list aren't really comprehensible for me....if I would have a defective device like yours I would send it back or smth like RMA...
Biggest bloat you've ever seen on any OS...never seen a Galaxy S4 16GB or HTC One 16 GB in your life? You simply get the half of the internal storage...that's a bloat.
"Official" Android apps are stealing your data in the same way like the KPN app you've named... any examle? Little time ago there was a nice flashlight app
Some people are asking to install Android on a WP and that's disturbing you so much? I wouldn't care a lot of that and rumors are rumors...that's life!
I respect your decision and know the benefits of Android but the points above are just my Point of view to your arguments.
btw I'm also an Ativ user...battery lasts 2 days with heavy use, doesn't drain over night when using airplane mode (with doesn't I mean sth like 68% to 67%) and with the Proxy trick...yeah what should I say... it's not made for Samsung but I got nearly every app I wanted with that method (some do work, others not...)

Just some clarification (I respect your views by the way, I really do),
My device wasn't bricked (bricked is if you failed to flash a device successfully and the phone doesn't boot anymore), it wasn't faulty or bugged, it functioned normal for until a couple of months ago. Saying a device is bricked/bugged/faulty instead of putting the blame on the OS, is contradictory to the term "lagdroid" or "bugdroid" WP users like to use.
By bloat I mean files you can't delete from installers and unknown file types downloaded to IE, on Android you get meaningless apps in return, you can uninstall (you can also install a light rom with no bloat at all). And the Nexus 5 has 12.86 GB of 16 GB free from the start, a lot more then I got from my Ativ S (somewhere around 11.98 GB), from a system which uses less image resources.
About the flashlight app, yeah I know (although this was merely a app which collected data to enhance advertisements and not to commit fraud as the "KPN" ripoff app does), but this you can expect from an open-source system as Android, not from a closed-source/bolted down system as WP, it's the only argument to keep a OS closed-source/locked. Android has different security system, you need to approve the capabilities before you install, in the latest versions of Android you enable privacy mode, you can install a anti-virus app on Android and if your Android phone is rooted you can install ad-away and a firewall. If you use common sense and you scan the apk's you deploy you can't get a virus on Android (I never had one on my ZTE Skate).
About the android on WP thing it was a joke (notice the emoticon ), but the answers always are the same and never help anyone. People could just say no and don't start a "which OS is better" war over it. Rumors are rumors, yeah, but it can be really annoying if the only thing you do with those rumors are giving people false hope and prevent people from making the switch back to Android under false pretenses that the future of WP is all bright and colorful with the scent of roses frolicking through the valley of Microsoft.
The battery thing, I wouldn't mind little drain (all smartphones don't manage to equal their specified battery times). But draining when the phone is plugged in? No, this is unacceptable. The phone even turns off when its plugged in and below 3%, it always shuts down around 3-4%, imagine if you're being kidnapped and you have little battery left, android goes to 1% and does boot on 1% while WP shuts down around 3-4% and can't be booted anymore, android would be a lifesaver and WP would be useless in this kind of situation.
I get only one day with heavy usage, two days with medium usage, I have disabled all background tasks I don't need, keep brightness on auto, keep only WiFi on (Data, bluetooth and location are always off) and WiFi goes to standby when the screen is off. I do have a weather app with lockscreen support installed, shortcuts to WiFi, Location, Screen Rotation, Data and Bluetooth with the status in the icons (green = on, gray = off) and a couple of live tiles (Xbox Music+Video, Xbox Games, AppDeals, myFreeApp, Store Deals, Weather app with forecast and TimeMe which updates each minute, I imagine this is a huge battery drainer) on my home screen.
Your device clearly had some hardware issues. You are the first one ever to complain about such problems.

I know it's the OS (the lag part) or the apps I've mentioned (look in the review other people who have installed these apps mention crashing), stop reverting the blame from WP to the device. If the device was broken or something like that I couldn't play high end games like Asphalt 8 (which crashes also sometimes), the free version of Drift Mania : Street Outlaws or even Sims FreePlay. Games worked fine as does playing 720p content. These are high demanding CPU and GPU tasks.
As I see where this is going, I'm asking this thread to be locked.
Thread locked per OP's request.
Guys, I'm soooo close to buying this phone.
But then I saw this:
https://youtu.be/AXF-J-zCKQM?t=420
In this video, the Axon 7 behaves pretty much identical to my galaxy S5: Instead of re-opening apps at exactly the same point/states where exited, most apps either reload from start (e.g. Youtube, Speedtest) or take significantly longer to open compared to the OP3, which manages the switch instantly.
Can you please check if Multitasking has improved at all compared to the video?
And when switching back to Chrome or Youtube from other apps, does the page usually reload for you or does it pick up where you left it?
I really need your honest feedback, as this is a deal breaker for me if app switching is still like in the video. It's one of the things I passionately hate about my Galaxy S5 and I definitely don't want a phone which despite 4gb RAM cant properly keep apps in a suspended state.
My phone does fine with keeping apps in memory and picking up where they left off.
I don't have the phone yet, but from what I know, that's the Chinese model of the A7 running the Chinese ROM which is more bloated than the ROM on the US version.
Also, the reviewer is incorrect in his statement that the 6GB of RAM is the reason for the OP3's speed performance, as the OP3 doesn't actually use all of it's RAM out of the box without kernel modification.
I am aware that the 6GB Ram doesn't make a difference in real life.
Regarding the bloatware point, well if I install 10-15 apps after getting the phone, it will have the same effect as having the phone with pre-installed bloatware.
If the phone then becomes like this, its definitely an issue for me.
Can please anybody else chime in on this topic?
The A2017G with Software B03 does it nearly like the phone in the video.
It takes a few moments to restore the app. I think it takes longer if the app was opened long time ago.
The last ~5 apps are much faster to restore and they restore at the same state.
When I reopen a app that was opened long time ago, e.g. Google Chrome, than it reloads the website or restarts the app.

Thanks a lot for your input, exactly the info I needed.
Seems like this phone is a bit too aggressive in killing apps that haven't been used for more than a few minutes
Yeah, the ZTE software definitely has its downsides and quirks in many respects. Memory management and killing apps is one of them. Really looking forward to a fully working CM rom.
No, my phone does not act like this at all.
My phone multitasks just like the oneplus 3 in that video.

Have many open though (10+ apps) and see if it reacts the same. Most of mine open instantly like you state but a few loaded just like on the video. It must be a "most recently" thing it seems. Honestly, I didn't notice it until watching this vid. I mean you're talking seconds if not milliseconds and that's not even for every recently open app only some. As a ex-iphone user (iphone 6+) I can say that the Axon 7 is much more responsive but unfortunately that's all I have to go off of. I watched many reviews as well as this one before I bought this phone. Even on the Verizon network I've been very happy with my purchase and it's half the price of most flagship phones.
not sure if this question belongs here... if not please move or delete it.
can the Axon 7 play high-bitrate 1080p videos... for example, both my Note5 and LG G4 can play 40mbps to 60mbps 1080p videos just fine(movies that I ripped from Blu-ray). However, my spare phone, the Nexus 5X can't cope with it.
Thanks!
It's 2016 and I just can't be bothered with a phone that reloads an entire webpage or youtube video because i have been using some other app for the past 30min. Every single android I have had so far had this behaviour and it's effectively ruining the experience for me.
Example: I'm at the gym, reading an internet page between sets. I read on a site, then do my set, switch to my training logging app, maybe go on youtube real quickly, then switch to the music player app and maybe also write a text in whatsapp. I finish my next set and while resting I switch back to chrome. It's been roughly 5min and the entire page is reloading from scratch.
This is just an example, and it could be 30min with several more apps in between, but you get my idea.
My spider senses are telling my that the same troubles await with the axon 7. I know it has nothing to do with 4Gb ram, but with how the OS is managing the background apps and processes.
I'm surprised there's no other reviews in this regard. All the reviews just say meaningless platitudes like "4gb of RAM is plenty so it should perform awesomely with multitasking", but then fail to actually test for this claim

Indeed, correct and sad but true. Last time I had a phone that could seamlessly switch between apps without reloading anything was my iPhone 3S *smh*
I searched for a couple days finding the best spec versus cost for a backup phone until I save enough to get a Moto Z Play, and I think I found [possibly] the best deal available for a backup, kid's, gift, or flash/app test phone.
I know what the forum rules are on acting like a salesman so I didn't want to risk linking it, but I imagine if you're curious, you can see for yourself. It's on their website under phones.
So basically my inquiry here is as the title says. Can you find a better quality for $40, er under $50? I mean even when you tack on their smallest plan to qualify, you're basically getting an $80 [$120] phone with a free service plan.
I guess really I'm just seeing if I should actually feel as good as I do for finding it.
The price is pretty ridiculous, especially after rooting it and being able to store half of all apps externally and saving RAM with things like Greenify, I'm peaking at around 66% RAM usage and have only used 5% of an 8GB internal storage with FB, Netflix, and Kodi all installed. Plus, keeping Unified Remote's connection to my PC forced is working, both, near flawlessly and has made no noticeable is battery drainage.
Note* the donor version of greenify's experimental push override seems to have worked with FB.
I want to create a sort of track of multitasking on pixel 2/xl on the next updates.
I'm pretty sure that 4g of ram that's not enough on 2018 with Android Oreo , I have various mobiles with 6gb/8gb of ram and I can really see the differences regarding the ram management.
So i do love stock Android, I love fast updates , I love the really good camera that Google put on this, but 2018 with 4gb of ram? With the next updates we'll have more features so I'm thinking that is gonna be worse.
So I just you guys to track the next updates to see if we're gonna to have better ram management.
Otherwise I'm going to Neve ever buy Google pixel mobiles ,
They'll only fool me once.

Well that's 5 apps opened, every 2gb of ram mobile can do that too, but just try more apps and chrome with lots of pages opened and you'll see.
Don't get me wrong he loads apps very fast the same level of iPhone x with bionic 11

Why will u leave pages open in chrome.... The max I ever used were 10... And didn't see Amy issues... Also I don't keep them open all the time... When dome... Close all tabs and move on....
I don't for the best of !e see any1 sane using more than 4apps at once ..
Well sometimes I do a lot of search I let opened and do my work and return later, and that with ,and,calls,insta, Twitter etc and with a total of maybe 12 apps and he'll began to reload.
And others mobile that I have I do the same and doesn't reloads often like that, I'm Tolking about 6gb or 8gb mobiles
Yup i have definetly noticed it
But it reloads quickly it doesn't matter but yea it is noticeable

What other mobile devices do you own that you are comparing the Pixel 2 XL to?
Sometimes i wonder what people did with so many apps left opened behind,
At most, when doing some image and video campaign edit to be posted on social media or web, i'll only have 5-6 apps opened. And it still leave around 200-300 MB of RAM left,
With today's 4G speed, i dont feel the need of keeping that many app opened anymore,
As long as my draft of notes/article writings and my photo edits stay intact in the background for around 30-60 minutes, am fine
Why should i keep my game opened if i already finished the round ? Or youtube when am not actually watching or listen to RED ? Anything unused should be killed right away anyway.
Used to have 6GB in OP3 but never found it totally used. Well maybe, i gonna need it, in next one or two years. But maybe not as well
