[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookcoloruser:
Has anybody else experienced or is experiencing rather poor ram management on their S6e?

I'm finding app refreshes really quite abundant. Yes they refresh quickly in most cases but they are refreshes nether the less.

Worst are apps that dump you out of what you are doing like Tapatalk.

System manager tells me I gave 400mb free and yet app refreshes are a common occurrence.

My nexus 6 rarely has to auto refresh - indeed conversely I can open Tapatalk on that and have to manually refresh to get content. But at least I never get dumped out of a thread and taken back to menu.

The Galaxy S5 was poor enough with memory management, I hoped the 3gb in the S6e would put an end to forced reloads & refreshes but nope.

I have a sim free factory unlocked model, no carrier bloat and have factory restored and still same issue persists.

Its as if Touchwiz despite certain improvements is as memory hungry and uncouth as it ever was.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graffiti Exploit:
I know how you feel. RAM is always almost full even if there are no apps running. I can multitask without refreshes if I go to an app for a few seconds. But if I spend like even just a minute then I get a refresh. Even with just one tab on Google Chrome, I get a refresh immediately by just using Facebook for a while. I mean wtf?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mellomelon45:
I believe it's due to the memory leak on 5.0.1 wait till we get 5.1 to see if they fix this issue
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookcoloruser:
No memory leak is only on nexus devices and related to its particular bootloader - something Samsung device doesn't have. It won't improve if it's not good now.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookcoloruser:
Yep exactly as you describe and it's really quite annoying. Feels like the phone is being gimped by its OS Skin. We shouldn't be having this issue on a 2015 3gb top of range device.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mellomelon45:
Ah I didn't know that. Thanks for correcting me. I also have this issue as well and hoping this issue is fixed soon from Samsung.

I have this issue too.. Anoys the heck out of me;.. I can pause pandora, and then open another app, and pandora lost its place!

happens a lot more then it should.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookcoloruser:
Yep. How come all the so called in depth reviews never mentioned this issue. To me aggressive memory killing and excessive ram usage is far more detrimental to user experience than the odd bit of lag, yet the only thing we kept getting told is how lag free this device would be and how super fast the ram is.... And yet it can barely keep 4 apps in memory for 5 minutes. Its really frustrating.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonyhall06:
ikr.. they didnt mention this ram thing at all. are they even used this phone at all to post those reviews?!? I was using an iPhone 6 Plus before, and I never had this issue at all. I hope they can fix this as soon as possible.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatonjb:
I don't think the reviers use it really all that much. I don't think they load a lot of apps like most us users.. Idk it is sad. I also think Pandora for example is weird. Once you hit pause the icon disappears on top. So it's free to get killed. When songza for example, just pauses and keeps an icon on top. I'll almost chalk that up to bad programming. But fb, chrome and whatever, yea.. Sucky
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] americasteam:
It's really irritating. My 6 plus with 1gb of ram is better than this. What I don't get is you can have 400mb plus of ram available and stuff starts closing. Makes no sense.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eatonjb:
I had this issue with my nexus too, and my s5 with lollypop.. I wonder if there is a settinf
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookcoloruser:
Yep... I have less refreshes with my 6+ too.

The 400mb free ram available thing irks me too - if it's free why isn't it being used ? And what the heck is using up the 2.4gb before it ? Even when I tell it to close all my apps the most I have free is around 700mb which soon drops back to the 400-480mb mark. It's crazy how memory hungry and inefficient it's being.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0md0:
holy crap! finally!

I've been searching for a thread like this for a week. Just got my phone a few days ago and man the ram management is piss poor. My HTC M7 doesn't have this issue. And yes I've wondered why no review site has mentioned this at all. I mostly noticed it on Chrome.. or even the stock browser. But yes it does this auto refresh crap on other apps as well. I don't know about you guys but I have the AT&The variant non edge and I have 5.0.2.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookcoloruser:
Yeah I have a stock UK/Ireland factory unbranded handset, so its not carrier app fault either unfortunately.

The M7 & M8 are both excellent indeed - with near stock android levels of memory management, which only goes to prove an android skin doesn't have to suck the life out of a device, which is exactly what Touchwiz feels like its doing.

The S5 wasn't great memory management wise, the Note 4 was good but no where near as good as the Note 3 memory wise and sadly the S6e seems very poor especially when you consider it has 3gb. So it seems to me since the Note 3 Samsung's flagships have been getting worse ram management wise rather than better.

I have a €950 flagship phone which handles memory about as good as a Moto G with 1gb.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0md0:
so you're telling me that the S5 for a year now still has crappy ram management??? that's just crazy and boggles my mind. i seriously don't want to keep this phone for 2 years of this nonsense (i get a new phone every 2 years). if that's the case i might just return this phone. as good as it is, that's almost a deal breaker to me. i always multitask switching from web page to messenger, to camera, sports apps etc.. etc.. then back to web page just to see it auto refresh every time! if i'm just bouncing back and forth between a couple apps within a min or so it doesn't seem to do this but after about 5 mins.. it never fails.. auto refresh is a certain. so sad. i don't want to go back to apple, but right now, i might have to return this phone and wait for iPhone 6S.

what also baffles me is that i don't seem to see much people talking about this issue considering this is a flagship phone and millions have already been sold worldwide.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookcoloruser:
I think because the phone is otherwise very very fast some folks may not be noticing the refreshes. Its certainly more noticeable on apps that drop you out of what you were doing back to a previous menu screen like Tapatalk.

I think people genuinely want to believe the

Hype that the S6 & S6e are the nirvana of android...

I must admit I too am shocked folks aren't complaining more or are giving the device an easy pass on this issue, but for me its a total PITA.

I will keep the S6e until the next update and hope that has some memory tweaks, but if it doesn't I'll consider just selling it on.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master Ramy:
So far, ive had issues of battery drain with bundled apps such as the AMAZON app store, as most of us here are already aware. I wonder if this ram issue has to do with the same preloaded apps causing issues? What about people who rooted and reinstalled all Play-Store-Reinstallable apps, through the Play store, has that cleared this issue? Maybe the misbehaving apps are taking their system-level privilege a little too far?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osmosizzz:
Glad some review sites are taking an eye on this. It's actually really annoying. Even my music app constantly shuts off and I have to force it to cause a wake lock for it not to shut off (poweramp has this option)

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookcoloruser:
I have a UK/Ireland unbranded edition. It came with very little extra bloat other than Microsoft apps.

I never got Amazon, what's app, Facebook, Instagram etc...

So it's not the extra pre-installed apps unfortunately.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookcoloruser:
It gets worse....

- so it appears we may have another little issue about to rear it's head. It appears the CMDA versions of the device are using Qualcomm modem and are getting 5-6 SOT

Those of us stuck with Samsung modem on GSM networks are getting around 4hr SOT

With difference being hardware, it seems were unlikely to see a software fix. Interesting that review handsets to the likes of Detroitborg and MKBHD were all Verizon editions, clearly Samsung knew of the disparity between the power the different modems use and sent reviewers the more efficient.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mysteryos:
I used to get refreshes on my apps as well, until i enforced the background process limit in the developer options to 3.

Now i can switch between 3 apps at most, which is amply sufficient to my taste.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythos234:
You can't compare iOS to Android, thats two completely different worlds. Having said that, used RAM is good and not bad. It doesn't matter if 2.4GB is full or maybe 500MB. It does show that Samsung apparently chose to either stuff the phone with weird stuff or that they left severe memory leaks in the software. But unless you actually run out RAM and can'T do anything anymore, there isn't a problem with that.

Samsung did tend to include more aggressive memory management in the past already, probably trying to prevent just that from happening, remember that the S6 is supposed to be their rescue of impending doom, so they probably went for the better-safe-than-sorry approach with it.

I can take a look at what they did and possibly make the management less aggressive than it is at the moment.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrHardplastic:
it is very annoying to see every single app require to load again every time it opens

especially the browser, exit for 5 sec, return back, bam....reload from ground zero

is it the Lollipop 5.0.2 memory leak bug? will it fix in future when samsung release 5.1 ?

or is it due to kernal ?

because my phone is rooted

but I'm yet reluctant to flash any kernal at this stage due to risk of brick

UNLESS the current available kernal ( e.g. simplekernal) allow phone to have better ram management (i.e the Dynamic Memory Allocation)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythos234:
If you flash the right file, the risk of bricking is very low. But it's underdstandable and reasonable, the Edge is a 1000€ phone and no one wants to break it soon :)

Memory leaks cause RAM depletion, the aggressive management might be Samsungs way to deal with it, but that wouldn't be the best to approach to it. TouchWiz and Lollipop (the latter at least) do have those leaks and Samsung is known to use most of the RAM on their phones. It can be normal or a leak, without knowing about the existence of it, I can't tell you which of them it is.

Management can be "improved" kernelwise, but Samsung probably didn't make this without a good reason, so I can't say which effects it woulf have :( But I can look into it
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globalrebel:
If this is the case, then FU Samsung! I don't see how it would matter though, since SOT shouldn't be affected by the modem? Modem is always running in background anyway. So, unless their TOTAL standby time is different, it could just be use case differences.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
No offence, but.. I got the SM-G920F which is GSM right? This is with my smartwatch connected and 1-2 hours on full brightness in the sun and quite some music playing (2-3 hours).

Yeah, I had no life today, which is why the low standby time and high SOT. But my standby time drain is around 1-2% every 10 hour anyway, so well.

7 hours of SOT seems fine for me. It just beated my Xperia Z3.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globalrebel:
Holy hell man! 7 hours?!?! I mean,l I've never let me phone drop to below 20%, but that's insaine! I only get like 2 hours at most with Adaptive display. And I mostly let it sit. (I do get HORRIBLE reception both at home and at work. So, that could be a big problem)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookcoloruser:
Same here. I'm lucky if I get over 2.5 SOT on a good day. I'm not using LTE and have adaptive display on auto brightness
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globalrebel:
Why no LTE? LTE is actually easier on the battery then 3G from what i remember.

The RAM management on this phone drives me crazy. So much so, that I parked it for the time being. I just tried XTREStolite ROM http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/development/rom-xtrestolite-deodexed-mod-edition-1-0-t3094423 hoping it would fix the issue, but it's clearly a Samsung problem. I got a Nexus 6 to use for the time being to keep my sanity, then picked up a Zenfone 2. The Zenfone 2 is crazy with RAM. It will keep a web page open for DAYS without refreshing it. That's how it should be, even with 3 gb of RAM (heck, even with 2). I'll just wait for Samsung to release a fix, probably with 5.1. It's a shame to not use the phone I bought, but this is really annoying in day-to-day use.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nookcoloruser:
Still no fix ........

My Edge (perhaps the most aesthetically pleasing if my Smart phones) has been likewise parked and it annoys me like crazy that my M9, Xperia Z3, Moto X 2014 & Nexus 6 all are capable if running with around 1/3rd of system memory compared to the S6 Edge and all are on lollipop and NONE are experiencing the force refreshing and miserable multitasking experience the S6 Edge is.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
Is your Moto X 2014 on 5.1? Because RAM management was worse on that phone on 5.0, if anything. It would kill apps almost as soon as you sent them to the background. I actually reverted back to Kitkat on mine while I was waiting for 5.1 because the RAM management was a little better.

It seems to be as much of a Lollipop thing as a Samsung thing (though the GS6 is definitely worse). Even my Nexus 6 on stock 5.1 kills apps in the background much too quickly for 3GB of RAM. If I open a web browser in Chrome, hit home, open more than 3 other apps, then multitask back to Chrome, the page reloads. I can only get it to stay with about 2 or 3 other apps.

So far, the only phone that doesn't do this is my Zenfone 2 with 4GB of RAM. That phone will keep multiple browser pages open for DAYS, no matter how many other apps I open. Nothing refreshes. That's how it should be. Unless Google and Samsung are making it more aggressive to save battery (less background tasks), I don't understand why they're doing it. At this point, most of these phones run like they have 1GB of RAM. I mean, why even have more than that if the OS is just going to keep killing the tasks immediately?

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kailoren:
I updated my s6e this morning to 5.1.1 and still getting RAM running at around 2.2gb constantly. Even using CCleaner to free up RAM by force closing background processes. Any solution yet to unrooted phones or are we stuck waiting for Samsung to hotfix it?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythos234:
2.2GB used? And where is the problem? RAM is there to be used and this is not a problem, it's normal. Every heavy UI uses resources, thats why the phone has 3GB of it. No shame in using it. You can be concerned when it reaches 0% free and everything stops working. And that is absurdly unlikely to happen
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kailoren:
Im getting app crashes even when i have only two or three background processes running which is very unusual. My Samsung Galaxy Tab S also has around 3GB of RAM and that usually runs at about 1.6GB. Just seems to be unusually high for the s6e
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
People like to regurgitate this saying because they've seen it posted elsewhere, but the fact is the phone shouldn't be using that much ram unless a crap-load of apps are open. And on the GS6, it reloads every 3rd app you multitask back to, so there's literally no excuse for this phone to ever be using that much ram.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythos234:
Not exactly, you make a connection where there not really is one. Loads of RAM being used may not look nice, but it is perfectly allright, unless you actually completely run out of it. Now the aggresive memory killer is most likely Samsungs way of making sure that that doesn't happen, since the S6 is intended to be their perfect phone. And they overshot the target, I give you that. But there is no direct connection between used RAM and aggresive multitasking, the latter is just arbitrarily set up this way and is not a result of the first condition
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyhulk:
I didn't say they were connected. My point is: if the GS6 is so aggressively killing the apps off (and it is), what in the world is using the RAM? The camera quick launch feature uses some, as does Touchwiz, but I see no reason why the GS6 should be using more than my Note 4 (with all of its S-Pen features taking RAM).

I just get my first Samsung S6 Edge device and its annoying slow lagy it has 3 gb of ram and still only we have 300 mb for the rest of the apps.

I still have my M7 and I have 1.1 gb free all the time even with all the apps keep running at the back.

Samsung sucks it was a bad decision to go for samsung.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythos234:

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sweetdreamz338:
So if you are saying its not an issue then why the device lagg it stuck while operation animations all get slow the screen don't response. Because the device try to free the ram as its not available to handle other apps.

I just have the phone for 2 days and as soon as i put my gmail account it download all the apps I have on htc m7 and this phone is even more slow then my old one.

So i am think to root it if its going to fix the issue as i get 5.1.1 out of the box
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mythos234:
Yeah it would do that, if the RAM was full. In your photos, the RAM is however far from being full, so it can't be the reason for the lag. Maybe your phone is bloated, I have no idea. But the RAM usage is perfectly allright
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrC85:
With Android, unused RAM is wasted RAM. The OS is designed to use it and stock Android is very, very good at managing it. Perhaps Samsung messed up Androids garbage collection on their ROM's causing them to kill closed / minimized apps prematurely - Samsung ROM's tend to be bloated so if the system is programmed to favour stock apps (installed to /system/app & /system/priv-app) over downloaded ones then that could explain a few things?.

Also IIRC the recent apps list in Lollipop (5.x) displays all opened apps, not just the ones still in memory (which is why rebooting the device doesn't clear the list). So if the app has been killed it will still show-up but will need reloading rather than just bringing back to focus. Its now more of an overview of all the apps you have ever opened, which kinda loses the point really :confused:

Edit: I haven't actually experienced this problem, but the first thing I did with my S6E was quite thoroughly debloat it.
