Preparing to get a new phone soon,

this killapp concern now becomes my last question before getting X Style, or the ultimate deal breaker.....

Really hope to hear more feedback from users,

since I play games that loads for some time at startup, browse websites with lengthy pages (especially novels...)

So a system killing either of these tabs will be a disaster for me.

Actually it doesn't have to be on par with nexus5/6, but at least it should be within acceptable range in terms of kill time.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kent1146:
Killing apps to free up memory isn't necessary, based on how Android handles memory management. Applications will not launch faster or run better if you kill apps to free up memory.

You're not gaining ANY advantage by doinig this. It's actually a *dis*advantage, because application switching will be slower, and you'll drain battery faster as you force your phone to re-load apps into memory when you launch them again.

Killing apps in memory is totally up to you. You can do it if you want. Just be aware that you're incurring a small disadvantage (in battery life and launch time) by doing this; and the reason that you are doing it is driven less by practical benefit, and more by OCD behavior.

I'm also having this same issue and it is driving me nuts. As others said, my Nexus 6 could load a bunch of apps without having to reload. This one reloads after I open 2-3 apps and it's horrible. I hope this is something Motorola knows about and will be fixed.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaseman:
I wish I could understand what all the complaining is about. Now I am not a technical noob as I have worked as a Systems Engineer in IT for over 20 years. I understand what RAM is and the differences on how it works with caching and swap files etc., etc. I also understand how Windows uses RAM differently than Android does. So.....

I have opened nearly every app on my phone and then went back into my app drawer and opened several more several times...then I press the recently used apps button on the bottom right of my phone and I can reopen any of them that I want as I scroll through the cards/list and they all reopen immediately. What am I missing here that has so many people's undies all bunched up?

In fact after opening every app on my phone, looking at device running memory I am using 795 MB for System, 715 MB for Apps, and 0.99 GIG free.

Looking at cached I have 1.5 GIG used, 813 MB cached, and 187 MB free. Everything is as smooth as butter, no lag, no stutters, and everything reopens immediately. What am I misunderstanding?

I do use Nova Prime in case this makes a difference?? :confused:
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris23445:
When you say reload, do you mean the app opens up exactly how it was before? The app doesn't refresh itself? The problem we are having goes like this:

1. I look at a Chrome tab

2. I look at a text message

3. I go to my phone settings

4. I open Chrome back up, and it is a white screen and has to fully reopen Chrome.

5. Reopen messenger, has to refresh and reopen.

On my Nexus I could open way more than 4 apps, and they would be exactly as I left them. They would not have to refresh or reopen. The RAM management on this phone is seriously weird and messed up.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrozB:
I am happy to give a real world example.

Google Chrome is displaying a thread that has an option to load more comments, so you click that and scroll down. Once you reach the button to load more comments again you click that and continue to scroll. Now let’s say there is a YouTube link in one of the comments so you click on that link to view the video. Once you are done with YouTube you task switch back to Chrome but it reloads. Because it reloads it loses your place and all the expanded threads close. That only happens in the instances where it reloads Chrome rather than keeping it active in the background and switching too it. It doesn't happen all the time, but far more than I would like. There are other apps that have this same issue, but I picked on Chrome because it should be a superstar on the android phone IMO.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaseman:
That's a reload of the web page. Nothing to do with RAM. Same thing will happen on a PC?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrozB:
When I alt+Tab on a PC it does not reload the page content. :-p

Another example is when I am downloading a file in KODI, if I task switch out for 1 light app KODI runs fine in the back ground and my download finishes. if I am out too long, or load is too much in the alternate app, KODI is closed and I lose my download progress.

Another - load my garage door app open the door. Mount the phone on the motorcycle and launch Profile manager, MP3 player plus WAZE. Pull away and go to shut the door. Switching back to the garage door app it goes back through the process of logging in and takes longer to display the option to shut the door. It does not do this if I just switch to one alt app or if the phone has been recently cleared (rebooted etc).

These are all daily processes that I run on other phones/tablets and have noticed that the Moto X is too quick (IMHO) to force a reload of the app and its content.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoFear1183:
I'm running a few xposed modules but nothing that has ram/task management and I have to agree with you 100%. I can swap between apps without ANY reloading. Not using recent apps button either. But open Gmail then swap to youtube etc etc and never lose place or reload any app. Everything resumes where I left off.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaseman:
Again, I do not have the reload problems that some of you are talking about. I can restart the app from the app drawer or through the recent list and it is exactly as I left it. Now the only thing I see is that on a web app like the Houston Tran Star traffic app, which I run in Chrome, will refresh immediately when I reopen it to show any changes in traffic conditions.

I wonder if it's just a certain combination of apps that are causing the issues for some people?? I have no problems at all with my Pure! No lag, no stutters (except in goofy places like scrolling emoji's from within the keyboard) no speaker crackles or pops.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Badd_blood:
Kinda dissapointed in the way Motorola views storage and RAM space. Not only do they give you 2.5GB to use (I assume there is physically 3GB, but 500MB set aside for the system/graphics) But it uses twice the RAM to run the system. My oneplus had 3GB ram and at most I would use 1.2GB. The Moto X 2015 uses 1.6GB before opening anything.

So you could argue this is really a 2GB RAM phone.

As for internal storage, where the hell does it go. 6.5GB for android and another 1GB for pre-installed apps! It's getting close to a Windows 10 install.

How come my nexus 6, felt faster and the ram usage wasn't as sky high as this phone?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
One question is if anyone is comparing Android L against Android M. Another thing to note is that everyone's RAM usage will vary depending on apps installed and the settings chosen within those apps. Even a fresh setup will vary to some degree depending on the options and settings you choose upon first run.

Necro but this has been making me so livid!

For work, I multitask between Google sheets, a website, an app, etc constantly and every GD time I have to reload/scroll/login again.

When I first got the phone, I could stream kodi, multitask, then return to running stream. No longer.

This phones only downfall. It's killing me.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decends:
Technically, there is 3GB of ram. But, 512mb's are hardware reserved for the Adreno 418. the other 2.5GB is system usable. Correct me if im wrong, but isnt Marshmallow a 64bit OS on the Moto X Pure edition? Don't 64bit OS's uses more ram than 32bit?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LastSilmaril:
I'm having this issue as well on a brand new XT1575 with latest stock Marshmallow build (rooted/Xposed). RAM usage is at 99%, 2.4 out of 2.5GiB, with Android OS using 830MiB alone. It's a bit nuts - never had it this bad on my Nexus 6. Any suggestions? Is this a problem with other ROMs? Is there a stock-based ROM for which this isn't an issue? This is really impacting usability right now and I really want to figure this out. Else I might have to put this up for sale instead of my Nexus 6...

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mightymags:
I noticed recently that I can no longer see running processes/apps on my idol 3. I use an app called system panel which is just a basic task manager app and it no longer shows any running processes at all except itself. It still seems to be getting other system stats fine (CPU, RAM, etc). This seemed to coincide with one of the previous OTAs and so I just assumed I would need to wait for an app update. The app has been updated a few times since and there has been at least one additional OTA and the problem persists. So then I decided to try some other apps and turns out none of them were showing running apps, they all had this same problem.

Anyone else have this problem? I know these apps work on newer versions of Android than we have on the idol 3, so I'm guessing either something Alcatel did in one of the OTAs broke some api or something I did broke the phone... I'm not rooted or xposed or anything like that (bootloader is unlocked though, but that's been for a long time an it worked after that). Phone is up to date with stock OTA.

[A3000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] der-mali:
Hello,

I think I am in big trouble:

It is about the Lenovo A3300-GV.

It is rooted with KingRoot.

USB Debugging is off - as far as I can remember.

Stock recovery, no custom recovery.

Was running stock KK 4.4.2 before.

I replaced the original Lenovo launcher with the Holo launcher and removed the Lenovo launcher with ES File manager.

I did a factory reset in the "settings" since a lot of unused games were installed.

Now the tablet turns on but since there is no launcher I can not do anything.

I see the status bar on top but can not scroll down for the settings WiFi etc..

I also see the navigation bar on bottom with the three buttons.

When pressing the power button I see "Power off".

It does not turn off but reboots only!

When pressing the Volume down button during the reboot I can access the "Safe mode".

From the PC I can access the internal SD card.

That's all.

ADB from the PC does not recognize the tablet.

The reset button near the SIM card works only when the tablet is off, right?

Does not work either.

How can I make it work again?

I would like to install a launcher again and start from there.

How can I access the recovery mode usually when booting?

I should press Volume down & Power but it start into the system not into the recovery mode ;)
[A3000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] der-mali:
Ok,

I got two steps more:

1. For a hard reset with the reset button near the SIM card / SD card slot you have to press the reset button AND the power button simultaneously.

Then the tablet will switch off.

2. To get into the recovery mode the USB cable has to be connected to the PC and the tablet.

When the tablet is off press the Volume up button and the Power button simultaneously.

After some seconds Android will show up telling you "no command".

Press the Volume down button for a moment and you will get to the recovery menu.

In the menu press Volume down to go down to the next choice.

Volume up (long press) has the function of making a choice, not going up in the menu.

Ok, now tried to flash a launcher (APK) from ADB.

adb sideload APKLauncher.apk

The adb terminal tells me "sending: 'sideload' 100%" but the tablet says "Installation aborted".

Then they haven't been working there long enough to remember the LG Rumor debacle, or the Palm Pre. When I was fixing rumors due to shredding flex cables and faulty charging ports, our manager authorized free replacements with brand new Rumor 2s, which broke... Just as much, really. Seriously, the original Rumor's port would snap off if a baby sneezed in the same zip code. I have nightmares about that phone and the 65 billion screws it had.

The Palm Pre had the Oreo effect, where the two halves would just start twisting freely, like you were taking apart an oreo. And of course, Palm wouldn't let us repair them, so we had to just swap them with refurbs. We had people that were on their 7th, 8th, 9th devices, but didn't want a different model because of Palm loyalty, and the fact that the Pre had a REALLY nice OS, as compared to early Android.

The forum does not seem to be exploding with this issue, most we find is this thread on it

here

and see my post lower down that links to sprint users. All of two pages :)

Things are quiet because LG is replacing the screens under warranty. In my market they offer a 6 month after purchase screen replacement offer. Samsung does the same as well. This means if this problem does not occur within 6 months then it ain't going to happen.

Knowing that this issue may happen and if it does all it takes is a simple screen replacement that too under warranty means i would be less excited if this occurred. An inconvenience to head off to the service center but at least i know i will get it back very likely on the same day because this thing is easy to repair.

Not knowing this can happen otoh would be frightening.

[G4 General] Swetnes:
It's a recall that only effected the Sprint, not necessarily CDMA as Verizon is not impacted, but something Sprint added software wise that created a hardware issue. The major symptom is the screen half snow or static, but other issues such as overheating, freezes, bootloops, stuck on LG logo during boot, touch response issues and network connectivity issues. This effects all models manufactured prior to 10/5/15, in which LG modified the hardware to not have an issue with what ever Sprint does with their software. Knock on wood, the only issue I have had is the network connectivity (average 30% without signal) and constant dropping signal and jumping between 3G and LTE. Kinda a pain in the butt, but I do have to say its improved with ZV6, even though not completely gone. Mine was manufactured May 2015.

[G4 General] mak999:
I heard the recall rumor last week...

Interesting to know the recall is official, after hearing about this from a Sprint employee last Wed 9/30/15.

FWIW, my 2-mo old G4 died last Wed morning 9/30/15 - it suddenly went into the seemingly nonstop bootloops, then would eventually lock up where only pulling the battery would do anything...which only made for more bootloops/lockups. I never had any other issues like others have reported*. Needless to say I was very disappointed in the G4's early death after finally upgrading after many years with the Evo 4G which was a bit overdue for replacement.

I took the G4 to the local Sprint repair center that Wed evening 9/30/15 where the Tech "unofficially" told me about the probable recall with the early builds. So even though I was well past the 14-day return, the Tech swapped me out for the Samsung S6 on the spot. He said he would also let me swap the S6 back out for a new-batch G4 when they are available in the store, as I am a long-term Sprint customer (well over 10 years now, maybe 15?) and understood the very reasons why I chose the G4 to begin with.

Needless to say, I have

zero

love for the S6 and feel like it's a downgrade from the G4 (IMO) as it's missing all the features that made me choose the G4 to begin with - slightly bigger screen, removable battery, SD card expansion, knock-on/off/unlock code, back-mounted volume buttons, the cool Circle Case, leather back, etc. The G4 also seems a bit more intuitive to navigate around and customize the screen - though this is comparing just a few days with the S6 compared to two months with the G4. The G4 felt and looked like a flagship phone, while the S6 reminds me of everybody else's phone out there. Again, just one person's opinion...

I'll be dropping by the Sprint store later this week to see if the new batch of G4s are in yet, as I'm ready to leave the S6 in my rearview mirror. Hopefully the new G4s have all the bugs ironed out...

* the knock-code to unlock didn't seem to recognize "quadrants" when I first assigned the code? It would unlock the phone no matter where I tapped the screen.

If it gets hot to the touch then that's probably a good thing, It means heat is being taken away from the CPU/GPU and transfered to the frame of the phone effectively.
