Hello,
I have this problem with the Chrome browser on my Nexus 10. Basically, it happens a lot. What happens is that after a tab loads and I switch to a new tab, when I switch back to the previous tab, it just automatically reloads? Then I switch to another one and it automatically reloads too. What's going on? Anyone know what's up?
Thanks,
Crazysah

Sounds like you are low on memory. The tabs will not be kept if you run out of memory, so they will need to reload when you return to them.
I'm definitely not on low memory. Only installed like 20 apps on a brand new Nexus 10. Has to be something else.
I'm still having this problem. Anyone know the solution?
I see what you mean now, you're right. It does reload sometimes when it doesn't seen like it needs need to. Just a buggy app I guess. You using the beta?
It should never reload unless it has been a very long time or the site forces it too. I'm using the April 3rd update.
Still experiencing this? Any ideas guys?

Don't confuse memory with space available on sdcard.

I'm pretty sure I'm not on low memory either. How do I check that?

Are you stock, or running a ROM?
Generally, though, the recent apps implementation will show how much ram is left.
I'm on stock. Just installed like twenty apps and two wallpapers and that's about it really.

Again, this really doesn't have any correlation to how much ram is in use. Given that the GPU takes up even more ram after the last update, the user is only able to use about 1.23gb. Depending on how many of those apps you have open, the system could feel like it is low.
Personally, I have swtiched away from using the Chrome beta, even though I miss the sync across multiple devices.
Free ram....I think the app OS monitor can show you this. Of course there is also the argument that free ram is wasted ram on Android.

I have about 760MB of free RAM and I still have this problem.
Exactly the same as this problem: http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=171316

I'm surprised more people aren't complaining about this problem, it is the biggest issue for me on the Nexus 10. I reported that bug on the Chromium bug tracker. I encourage everyone here to sign in to the bug tracker with your google account and star that thread. You don't need to add your own comment, unless you can help debug the problem, simply starring it will show that you care about this issue. Hopefully, the more people star it, the more urgency this issue gets from them.
This is a problem with every Android browser, as far as I can tell, except perhaps Opera Mini, haven't tried that one. It's because of the way Android handles memory: I can reproduce it with Firefox also, just after opening more tabs. Hopefully, the Chromium devs can do something about it. I wonder if the iPad and iOS have similar issues with web browsing, anyone know?

I'm dubious as to whether the problem is Chrome on your tablet, or just Chrome for android in general. Its really not all that great, especially compared to Dolphin and AOSP.

Help, i've had my Note 3 just about a month now and ever since I've had it I get seriously bad lag when I'm updating apps from Play Store.
It's that bad that if I update all apps and there are 3/4 apps I have to wait until they are done otherwise the phone gets that laggy I can't do anything.
I haven't done a reset but I'm thinking I probably will need too, unless anyone else knows what it could be?
Thanks

Happens to me, I don't really care for it because it only updates on WiFi. My phone gets stuttery when it installs the update more than when it is downloading. Also to note, it's recurrent on 4.3 and 4.4.2.

Doing a reset won't solve the issue, it's more that the system is focused on getting the install to be quickly and painlessly finished and causes other processes to slow down due to CPU demand changes. I'm running a custom ROM and kernel and still get these problems, and before I was on stock 4.3 so I can confirm it's not your hardware or personal configuration issue.
Also when your launcher lags, it's due to the fact that you're on the launcher but it has to do a live app removal from the drawer and then reinsertion of the app.

Thanks for that explanation, that does make sense now, however coming from previous phones (Sony Z1 and HTC One) these never had that issue and the Note 3 is more powerful, im a bit confused. So basically it's Samsung's software that's the cause?

I noticed something on my TMob Note 3, I have Lookout security pre-installed and I see slight improvement if it is not scanning apps after every install and if it is disabled. Can someone check if you are seeing any improvements without Lookout Security or is it just my placebo?
Also, the Lookout backup upload slows both my phone and the internet. Any idea why that is happening? Is it uploading everything again and again or just the changes?

My other Samsung phones don't have anything installed and still lags.
However, I do have some security apps installed to check for viruses, but the thing is, it only checks after the app is installed, not during install, and the lag spikes in only during the install and not after.
I use Avast Mobile Security to scan my apps.

I never had this issue. I could use my phone with no stuttering when updating apps, even if it was apps big in size.
Though it was another story on my S3.

As a TF700t owner I haven't noticed any lag from updating apps on the Note 3....but that's most likely because I'm used to a device that becomes entirely useless when updating apps (or doing anything in the background, really) because of an I/O issue...
Devices will always get a bit sluggish when updating apps, as they need to access multiple system and app files.

Hello Maverick,
I own a note 2 and m on unroofed stock ROM 4.3.. However I am also facing the same issue from quite a time..I tried booting in safe mode, booting without the external SD card, cleaned cache from the recovery, regular cache and jink files cleaning from CleanMaster app, uninstalled antivirus app, stopped Power Saving mode but to no results.. It's driving me craazy!!
However I would like to bring one thing to your attention. The phone does not lag while downloading the app from play store but lags when the app is being actually updates ie. Installed to the device! I don't know if its the same case with you all..
M still hunting for a solution.. Donshare a solution here if anyone of u finds one
Thanks in Advance

My 2012 16 GB Nexus 7 gets vey slow over time and then I have to wipe it and do a factory restore. It has stock 4.4.2. I understand that the TRIM command was implemented in 4.3, which what was supposed to be causing the slowness. Are others still experience slow Nexus 7's even after Google supposedly fixed this?

I have the exact same issue on my 2012 N7. It's slow, very slow, for instance if I'm listening music on it, I can't do anything else or the music becomes choppy. Mine is rooted with stock rom.

Same here. But mine is non rooted stock. Was rooted before but after a few factory resets and reflash stock firmware im now not rooted. There is some problem with trim what I have understand from my little reading on the net.
Thinking of flashing cyanogenmod and see if they have made a solution to this.
If anyone have a tip your welcome to share.

Yeah, but that TRIM problem was addressed with Android 4.3 I guess, but the issue still exists on my N7. I simply cannot multitask on mine or it will freeze everything, it's frustrating.

It was supposed to be addressed in 4.3 but to my experience it wasn't...
Mine freeze aswell and are really sluggish. Checking the "best ROM" thread ATM to see if I get a good tip on ROM with kernel.

Same issue here. I read once that it had something to do with how it wrote to SD card. That a brand new grouper wouldn't have the same issues because it would be running this from the the starr. Someone suggested formatting the card and re flashing from adb, but I was never clear about how they would do that, nor were they clear about whether it truly fixed the problem.
I find that switching to Nova launcher helps, but then it starts bogging down too... Very frustrating ? .

I was just posting about this issue. I have 6Gbs free.. Any solution? Mine is 16Gb wifi Thanks!
Both my wife's and my 2012 16GB N7 suffer from this on occasion. I was running rooted stock, but decided to give Rastakat a go. It's AOSP with a couple of extras, but it has made an improvement with the slowdowns. I also gave SD Maid from the app store a go. That freed up a considerable amount of space for me and helped as well. Since I just converted my N5 to F2FS, I'm considering doing the same with my grouper to see if it makes a difference.

The auto TRIM command seems to be broken for the Nexus 7 (2012) in Kit Kat. I've experienced the same slowdown on 3 different 4.4.2 ROMs so today after loading SlimKat I decided to download the Lag Free Fix we used to have to run with 4.2 and sure enough it took a few minutes to run which indicates the TRIM was needed. Even with a fresh install the speed difference and less laggy interface was quite noticable
Try the Lag Free Fix on Google Play, it won't hurt anything and I bet you'll see a difference
BTW this is not a problem with my Galaxy SIII and Nexus 10 running Kit Kat, just the N7 2012
Have had my n7 since they came out (32g WiFi) and love it.. Lately she's been running real slow. (Official cm11).. If I do a full FULL wipe and drop an official 5.0.0 image on it, think that will help get some performance back? I know the internal memory type is a big limitation, any way to format it and maybe clean or speed it up?
(I've done the usual, wrote and reflash, open space, stop apps at startup, speed up tricks...)
Thanks..

A full wipe would more than likely help right now. Although with 5.0 a few weeks away, its best to wait until then. You could flash the official 5.0 factory images once they're up, or someone's bound to make a stock rooted 5.0 ROM also.
If you can't wait you could try experimenting with the f2fs formatting, there's a how to thread and a good selection of compatible ROMs available. In haven't tried it personally but most users seem to notice significant improvements on their N7.
I would suggest to install a diagnostic app like diagnosis by darken and read a report of how apps eat your cpu/ram instead of going the process of backuping and formating.
From my experience apps which slow a device
Facebook
Viber
WhatsApp
And most of the messaging apps.
A clean install of any Android version would help. ?
I would suggest using a cleaning tool like SD Maid by Darken and formatting your Cache/Dalvik Cache.

I recommend the Facebook app below, its based on the browser version and it a hundred times lighter than the official app. Doesn't have access to the permissions (basically everything) that the official fb app has either which is better.

Same problems here. I have hangups amounting to tens of seconds doing what used to be otherwise instantaneous actions when the tablet was new.
The question; is this performance degradation related to component aging or software-related? Our N7s are more or less out of 1yr warranty now and I am wondering whether there will be any traction with ASUS about a flaw which was present at purchase? Components crap out of the door outlasts a claim on fault developments in the wild.

2 things. A bloated system and cache will slow things down. And for me... My N7 seems slower every time I upgrade my phone. Lol
Wipe it clean and start again with fresh stock install. ?
Hardware doesn't slow down. It works, or doesn't work... Or can work intermittently if it's damaged. But not just slower.

Then go to the last version that was fast? Or a good custom rom?
My point was and is... Hardware doesn't slow down. It may break or become erratic.. But not slower.
So the issue is on the software side. ?

I never liked kit Kat either on my N7...its still running stock, rooted 4.2.2. Smooth and snappy. ?
How does google even thing about putting out something that's so slow?
Are they desperately wanting us to switch to the nexus 9?
This is my last tablet I ever bought.
So anyone has 5.0.2 allready?
I have it. I see no difference. The tab freezes for about a minute sometimes when using chrome. Dolphin is even worse. So most of the time i get these freeze ups and the whole tablet becomes unresponsive.
Anyone else?
People love Nexus devices for the latest version of Android it gets. It's the best device to get updated with the latest version and usually cheaper than other devices in the market with same specification though Nexus 6 is bit exceptional with a bit higher price tag. Latest Android version is always exciting to us but with latest Android version, comes Latest Bugs too May be I became sarcastic, though it's true. Android Lollipop is not an exceptional to come with some bugs. One of the major bug of Lollipop is the RAM leaking issue. People has faced some major RAM leaking issue on their Nexus 5 and now Nexus 6 is also facing it. For Nexus 6 it's a major issue because it's causing Nexus 6 to force reboot and mainly force shutdown. This issue has been marked as Complete on Google Forum by a Google Employee. Jump to the first page to see it and browse through all pages to see that so many people are facing the same issue so there is no need to be panic. You can expect a fix for it as it has been marked Completed by a Google Employee. But for now we need a solution for it. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT IT'S NOT A HARDWARE BASED PROBLEM, IT'S THE PROBLEM OF THE STOCK KERNEL. SO DON'T GET PANICKED AND REPLACE YOU DEVICE.
If you want to get rid of this problem and want to stay in stock firmware then follow the following steps:
A> Non-Rooted Device:
1. Close all apps before doing heavy tasks. You may see "System" as a recent task, don't be panic, clear it. It may appear sometimes. Even some apps which you've not opened, they may show in recent apps.
2. Don't run some specific games like NOVA3. It'll not let you go forward from the first cut-scene. It'll force shut down the device. [Tested by me]
3. Do reboot your device once in an interval of 5-6 days. 3-4 days are recommended. If you notice the RAM usage daily, you can notice that the RAM usage by System/Settings starts increasing after 2 days of usage without any reboot.
B> Rooted:
If you're rooted, you're good to go for a permanent solution.
1. If you don't want to switch to any Custom ROM, then flash a Custom Kernel like Franco Kernel or ElementalX . It'll help you to get rid of the random reboot/ force shut down.
2. Flash Custom ROMs. There are plenty of custom ROMs available for Nexus 6 which are mostly based on 5.0.2 and doesn't cause problems like this. Giving a small list of the ROMs which are being used by most of the Nexus 6 users
Dirty Unicorns
Official SlimLP Alpha
Euphoria-OS
LiquidSmooth
N6 Nocturnal Limited Edition

Actually, the memory leak is NOT a kernel problem. The reason why it affects *ALL* Nexus devices running 5.0.x is that it is actually a problem in frameworks.
Specifically... frameworks/base/services/core/java/com/android/server/display/ColorFade.java
Neither one of these are solutions and I wouldn't even call them workarounds either

Actually I got benefited with these solutions. Not only me but also many other Nexus 6 users That's why shared

Thanks Though I think Nexus 6 is getting effected differently as it's going to either force reboot or force shutdown where as hammerhead is facing only high RAM usage.

All depends on what triggers are set and how bad it gets

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one seeing these problems. Where's our 5.0.2 to fix it? Happens to me almost once a day now.

What are you running on it? I'm currently at a *week* of uptime, and no problems noticed at all.
What are people doing to get a random Shutdown/Reboot?
Had mine for a month and it never Shutdown/Reboot on me.
I read that there maybe and update in the near future?

May be Google is planning for a direct jump to 5.1 with all major bug fix

It's happening many of the devices. As it's evident that many other major issues like screen burn-in, problem in speakers etc are not present to every devices, this issue is not an exceptional It seems that Google is planning for 5.1 update for Nexus 6

Completely stock unrooted, never unlocked on 5.0.1.
I'm also using a stock Moto 360.
Therfreeze happens when it wants to, when I'm not using the phone. I don't usually notice until I next check my phone and the lock button doesn't unlock my phone, then I look at my Moto 360 and see that its become disconnected.

Could be related to the watch or some other software you're running. Or an encryption related leak. Like I said, mine's been rock solid. Straight up factory except for non-encrypt and root.

I think encryption has nothing to do with the random reboots And if you're considering moto 360's apps for this, then I should say, No

On what do you judge that? Software crypto is a very heavy memory user. From what I've heard, the reboots seem to be related to memory pressure.

"Android wear" has very serious tentacles that run through frameworks and gapps. Applications themselves COULD NOT be the problem since Android will just kill them when the memory hit becomes too big, but the frameworks tentacles are another story altogether.
In any case, my point about hwcrypto was more about performance improvements from AOSP 5.1 rather than random reboots.

There is RAM leaking but I've noticed today that when I went to see the RAM usage after booting up from a force shutdown, then there was 1.8GB of free RAM and then I scrolled a little bit to see which apps are occupying the space. Then guess what? Bam, again a force shut down
