It seems to be a fungi atack on your ASF protector. Is your mobile under warranty?

If you can't appeal to the warranty for free and if it really bothers you too much, you can always use another screen protector or (if you're brave enough) you can even remove the original ASF very carefully (read all the threads about it first!).

My Z2 upgraded to 5.0.2 yesterday and I'm wondering which lockscreen to use. That problem I have now is that the phone Forces me to have a screen lock.

I have tried Cover which was promising but glitches terribly; Go locker, and Next Lockscreen.

Anyone else notice this?

For example. I'll open up chrome, go to a webpage, exit chrome, and then when I come back to chrome it starts reloading the page again. I've noticed it refreshes or restarts a ton of apps after I come back to them after a short amount of time and it never puts me where I last left off in the app. Even my two year old phones keep apps open longer.

What's up with this?

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbauer86:
You have to setup your device properly then you have enough free ram for multitasking. Out of the box the system alone uses like 2gb+ of ram which is to much imo. Stock lollipop uses around ~500mb of ram. After all these years touchwiz is still a ramhog nr.1

Just some quick tips:

- use stock launcher from google or nova or other lightweight launchers

- deactivate facebook and messenger and almost every google app that you dont use

this alone will save you like 500mb ram alone. Everything else you'll find in the ram usage settings from there you can see what uses most ram and if you dont need it just deactivate or deinstall this ****.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johanbiff:
Problem is that I did not have this problem on my Note 3(with lollipop 5,0) so why should I have it on the touchwiz "lite" on the S6? same RAM on both devices.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fruktsallad:
This issue is discussed in the other thread, but this one is appropriately named. The issue is driving me nuts, but I didn't find anyone else complaining until I saw this thread.

Bloat or no bloat, it's incomprehensible to me how you can't even have three apps running on a phone with 3 GB of ram. My OPO could easily have six or more apps running at the same time.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian85:
Well, my galaxy s6 is going back to T-Mobile. LG G4 here I come.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian85:
I don't think ram is the issue. I just checked: system is using 1.2gb of ram and apps using 400mb. I have over 1gb of free ram. That's a ton.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johanbiff:
they will fix this, I think it`s just some bad RAM management.. I love this phone so far so I belive that sammy will fix this on an update :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fruktsallad:
I really like the phone too, but I'm constantly down to about 200-400 MB of RAM although I've removed most of the bloat and I'm not running any weird apps that I haven't used on other phones in the past.

Not too keen on rooting cause of all the warranty issues either...sure hope you're right about them fixing it.

You're not supposed to have free RAM...

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/ram-boosters-task-killers-bad-android/

There definitely seems to be an issue with apps being closed too quickly but I don't think it has anything to do with the free RAM numbers you're looking at.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brian85:
I wonder if there is anyway to submit something to samsung so they are aware of this issue. If this wasn't an issue, this phone would be nearly perfect.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fruktsallad:

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johanbiff:
Really don`t think it`s the issue with to low RAM, I belive this is a management issue or a bug thats just kills the apps to quickly or even maybe lollipop 5,0,2 issue that samsung missed? I sent samsung a mail about it yesterday so hopefully they will contact me back.

Samsung want to keep the s6 on top and normaly we will receive 5.1.1 soon
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoneyfordni:
Samsung UK reccomend a Backup and factory reset.

What exactly is the reason behind the high usage ? By my thinking Touchwiz or something on Samsungs side wants to keep the apps cached or running so the device is smooth and snappy, but Lollipop wants to keep them killed to save memory and battery.

So when one part kills the apps then the other restarts them and so this battle consumes RAM ???
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookcoloruser:
Factory reset does nothing as soon as you have yours apps installed and updated and begin using the device the issue crops it's head again.

Tech support in countries just haven't a clue on this issue so you just get the usual a-z guide they have been told to reel off to every complaining customer regardless of device.

It annoys me that my Galaxy Alpha & Note 4 can keep more apps on the background without constant refreshes in tapatalk and such and the flagship can't.

Both my other devices are running lollipop so it's not a lollipop issue in itself. Too much pass the blame is going on to lollipop & google, giving Samsung and others an easy pass when they release fudged software .....

Same problem here. The phone is near unusable when multitasking. Opening chrome kills my podcast player, etc. My moto x 2013 at 1/4 of the specs had better performance.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivaho:
The S6 is the most buggy phone I ever have owned. Battery have never lasted a whole day when using the phone and like others in this thread have noticed the OS is killing apps left right and centre. A few days ago I tried to go for a walk while listering to a pdcast using pocketcasts and 3 times during a 20 minute walk did pocket cast get killed. I was at the same time using google maps telling me where to go.

This makes the phone into a toy for me and the only reason I have not returned it is that it takes soooo pretty pictures. But I do use my main simm in my work iphone for the time being. And no this is not me trying to say iphone is a better phone, just that samsung have made a phone that is so unstable that it's laughable.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookcoloruser:
Yep. The software is laudible especially after all that hulabaloo at launch event as they touted as fastest ram ever & no lag and vastly unbloated version of touchwiz....

1) lag still crops up, especially in theming.

2) server errors when accessing theme store many times

3) fastest ram in a phone, yep it's so fast it can't wait to kill all my open apps.

4) it's still full of bloat under the hood. So much so it sits at 2.2-2.4gb ram used with nothing else open.

I too love the camera, but just not sure whether the best part of the phone I use maybe 5% of the time is worth putting up with the inconsistent battery life and frankly piss poor ram issue I suffer the 90-95% of the time.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivaho:
Admitting to it is only the 1st step. Getting a patch out there that turns the phone from a expensive toy to something I can use is the important part. Right now I cannot use the pone to do car navigation while playing podcasts/listening to music as it keeps killing background tasks in a way I have never seen any phone done before.

In its current form the phone is like playing Russian roulette. You never know what its going to kill next. Some times it kills essential system services causing the phone show a dialog box saying xxxx service has hung.. Sometimes the only way to recover from that is to force reboot the phone.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookcoloruser:
Ok this is where news media goes stupid.

1) The news about S6 ram issue came from 'news reporters' using this thread and my own in the S6 Edge thread as source about the ram issue. THIS THREAD & THE ONE IN S6 EDGE IS THE ACTUAL SOURCE. They are merely just 'elaborating' on what we have posted here ourselves.

2) The so called 'official' response SAMSUNG made was actually a generic response they reply to anyone asking anything technical on facebook or twitter.

It is by no means an official statement from the company on this issue.

3) cyclically, News media are now reporting on this generic response and are intimating that it's an official response directly to this issue and yet look at the feeds and sources and the correspondence/replies those social media sites have used for all matter of issues people ask and it is clear to see it is not. In the response the wording is suitably vague, it doesn't even mention S6 or Ram......

These then false 'official' reports are the same 'news' sources that actually are just churning out a story based on our threads here.

Its lazy journalism and we still do not have a proper statement or official line from Samsung. There is no point posting links to news articles because as I explain above they all emanate from this very thread if you trace the source line.

This aggravates me, too. I recently grabbed Knights of the Old Republic (one of the greatest games ever) for my phone when it was on sale for $2.99. Sometimes, I'll be unsure what to do in the game, so I'll flip over to Chrome to look at a guide or something. Every time I flip back to Chrome, the page completely reloads. When I flip back to KOTOR, there's about a 30% chance that the game has exited and will relaunch to the title screen, even if it's only been a few seconds.

On 5.1.1. my problems has gotten worse. For example its now not only killing recent apps its also killing (going in deep slepp or something) gps signal (or app that uses it?), cause when i was out running, Endomondo kept loosing gps signal IF THE SCREEN was off (so if iam ''not using my phone''). I think its a new policy from Samsung ''to extend battery life'', but now its pain to use gps applications. Ill do more testing with screen always on when i have chance and see if then it doesn kill it/go to sleep.

I thought people exaggerated the memory issue on Samsung S6 devices. I owned the device for few months and did not notice any issues, maybe some refreshing of the websites in Chrome, but that's it. Then it turned out it was because I was not using it intensively. Just regular stuff like web surfing, email, texting, facebook, whatsapp etc. Then I was on vacation and it turned out I put too strict limits on my credit card, so I was not able to rent a car. I had to log in into my banking website and change the limits. For that I needed 3 apps running at the same time. KeePass to get username and password to my bank account, Chrome to change the limits and Text Message app to read the authorization code . No way, I was not able to do it. Once I switched from Chrome to Text Message app the Chrome got killed, refreshed the whole site resulting in log out from the banking website. I tried it several times, no luck. Then I took my wife's HTC One, viola, no issues. I was shocked. New flagship phone from Samsung and I was not able to do such simple operation. I was really thinking about getting rid of the phone and then I got the update few days ago. After applying it I have something like 800-850MB of free RAM after the restart of the device, previously it was something like 450MB. I repeated the same scenario I tried on vacation and it works. So it seems the issues are sorted out, but let's see how it behaves in longer run.

It is exactly the point. My wife's HTC One M7 has more free RAM than my brand new flagship phone from Samsung. Now it is little better after the last update, but still after few days I have to reboot the phone as it slows down. HTC One M7 has the uptime of 30+ days and still works just like after the reboot. Shame on Samsung. Instead of focusing on few models and making them work flawlessly they issue several dozens of new phones every year and they all work like a crap.

For the life of me I can't figure out what this "SPCM" thing is. It's definitely some kind of Samsung addition to the stock ActivityManager and seems to generate some scores by which to kill apps.
