[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haircut123:
Ok so ive done some more research and testing and in my testing i found something interesting. Also myguver40 you need to make sure you go settings devicecare click the 3 dots and turn off auto optimisation and make sure that crap is off.then click battery then the 3 dots then make sure everything is disabled

Disable adaptive battery,put unused apps to sleep,sleeping apps should be empty,disable unused apps.and leave disabled apps empty. Then go to settings then app click on any app them click on battery make sure all your apps are allowed to use background activity. The one you want to keep running.

Then go to settings and acroll down to developer settings and make sure background process limit is set at standard limit

Now open 15 to 20 apps before you go to bed do not wake up un the night and touch your phone as it will kill the test.anyway when you wake up 8 to 10 hours later ypu will see all yours apps gone apart from 4 or 5.but if you then restart the phone then click apps they will be there in the recent apps again i just found this out last night.so there must be a way to keep them without restarting like you can on the note 8

Ive also noticed in delvoper settings there is a thing called standby apps you wil see the word active next to them not sure what standby apps even means but it could be related to the issues of apps closed over night.anyway you can chage ot from active to working set or you can change it to frequent or lasty rare.so if anyone has any onsite on that would be helpful

Ps mine are all set to active wich means no battery restrictions but still the apps close unless you restart so that does not help
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Bober_is_a_troll:
I mean.... I never noticed this .. because I have all my apps that I frequently use on the home screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] macgyver40:
Well without changing any of my settings I fell asleep watching YouTube. 7.5 hours later I have 9 apps still in recent.

As for going and changing all my settings, sorry but it took me days to get my phone setup and not really sure I want to change 20 settings or go though my 100 apps to make sure everything is like yours.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haircut123:
Well if you had left the phone idle a bit longer 8 to 12 hours all your apps would have closed
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] macgyver40:
Well 9 apps survived the 4am auto optimization.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haircut123:
Must be something wrong with your phone then?as it should not survive 4am auto optimisation thats very odd .but im still sure you would have lost all your apps aprt from 4 or 5 if you left the phone for 8 to 12 hours completely idle
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] macgyver40:
Funny you state it as something is wrong with my phone yet this is the state you want yours in. I didn't get 8+ hours down time again so having the 14 apps open with only 7.8 hours doesn't count. Didn't think this was going to be such an issue not using my phone for 8 hours. Where my girl is getting a purple note9 today I doubt I will have much down time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haircut123:
I didnt say there is something wrong with your phone i was asking a question saying maybe there is something wrong with your phone as the 3am optimaztion does not work on your phone and it should right?all 6 of the note 9s ive tried all shut down the apps over night usally around 9 hours in .but if you restart the phone all the apps are there in recent apps again its very strange

As for 7.5 hours i can keep the apps on mine for that long

But if you sleep in bed 8 to 12 hours like me and alot of people the apps will be gone when you wake up apart from 4 or 5 .untill you press restart phone then they come back for some strange reason.i only recently found out that
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] macgyver40:
I honestly don't know what that daily optimization does fully. I know my apps run fast, and I use the note9 more then my laptop. I also only sleep about 7 hours a night. Have been trying to not use the phone an hour before sleep and as long as possible in the a.m.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haircut123:
Im doing experiment ive disabled device care completely using bk package disabler and left 20 apps running ill see if that works
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] popthosegaskets:
It is not possible to keep ALL 25 apps in background with the current RAM.

Just because it comes with 6GB RAM (or 8GB for the 512GB version), does not mean that all 6GB is available. For the 6GB version, about 3.5GB is available for app usage.

A typical app on average takes up about 300MB of memory on the RAM. Since the ideal scenario is 25 apps, 25 * 300MB = 7.5GB, which is more than double of what the Note 9 can handle. In theory, the Note 9 can only take up to 11 apps in memory.

300MB is just a typical average, media intensive apps and games would use more RAM. Hence 11 apps would be a "best case scenario".

Then there's also app priorities, where some apps are prioritized and kept in memory while others are killed to make way for these prioritized apps. System apps have a higher priority than user apps (i.e apps downloaded from Play Store or sideloaded), so chances are Android will keep system apps in memory and kill user apps, which explains why some apps might not stay in memory after a few hours.

Here's a video on how apps use RAM:

And how memory management works on Android:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haircut123:
Update its did not work woke up with only 4 apps in the background
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] popthosegaskets:
May I know what are the apps that are kept in memory (i.e still in background) ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haircut123:
So I think i found a workaround solution after lots of hours testing .so if I want my recent apps to be there when I wake up .you need to set your note 9 to auto restart every morning I set mine at 9 am .when it restarts all the closed apps will reappear.

Like I found out if you open 10 apps and go to bed and wake up there will be only 4 or 5 apps left alive but when you restart the phone the apps come back for some weird reason.so auto restart is the workaround guys. I know thousands of people would love a solution to this and I think I've found the best solution possible untill Samsung pulls there head out and fix this bug.because this issue is not on the note 8 pie ,not sure if note 10 has this issue
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] macgyver40:
Well that explains why my phone still has all the apps in the list. I have it auto restart when it does the optimization @ 4am.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haircut123:
Definitely
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] grtmoby:
I can confirm this trick works :)

Set it up, slept and awake with all apps in there.

Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] high_voltage:
This is a valid issue, the RAM management in PIE is really bad, the phone reloads apps like no tomorrow and totally not like a 6GB ram phone should. We will see how android 10 is, but I don't keep my hopes high.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haircut123:
No worries I was determined to find a fix for this
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] macgyver40:
Let's hope it works the way so many want on the new android 10 and UI 2.0. Either way I love my note9 512gb and glad I didn't get the 10.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] grtmoby:
Can I ask why, far from the headphone jack and heart sensor?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] macgyver40:
Well the heart sensor is a must for me. As for the rest. I can't stand the hole punch, I don't see much else as an upgrade. I did come from a note 4, jumped to the 8 for a few months and now the note9 with 512gb is all the phone I need and nothing I don't. I do miss the UV sensor though. Helped with my skin issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haircut123:
I skipped the note 10 because I need the hp jack .I came from note 4 to note 8 to note 9

If the note 10 had the hp jack I would have defo upgraded to it

Hello, do you guys have still some overnight killing issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jr866gooner:
Same here. I was so disappointed. Yes I use some BT headphones and speakers occasionally but that doesnt mean I can and will always want to.

My car for example doesnt have BT and on my cycle commute to work I dont want to lose expensive headphones on the side of the road. Plus they're another thing to charge!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haircut123:
Yes app still close over night regardless of what settings. Using auto restart does not work .yes it does keep all your recent app cards there but the apps are all reset die to restart. I have no idea if android 10 will fix this
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haircut123:
Yes recent app cards still close over night leaving 4 or 5 still open regardless of what settings. Using auto restart does not work ,yes it does keep all your recent app cards there but the apps are all reset due to restart. I have no idea if android 10 will fix this disappointed that Samsung forces us to shut our apps down over night when the phone is idle.why have options in the setting to keep the apps running if android overrides them anyway and shuts your recent apps down without permission
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] berni502:
yea i get you ; P it's annoying i don't have a Samsung but i just have op 7t but i return it because of the huge screen uniformity(but there was no killing problem in op) and buy Asus zenfone 6 and this little quacker just close my app day by day in the morning :D and not even let use me more than 5gb of ram usually (i have 8 gb version)... so after 12 days of fighting with the issue i just return it too and idk what to buy now xD...

s10 have the same issues anybody knows :D ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haircut123:
Not sure about s10 .I think it's only note 9 on pie that has the app closing overnight issue.my note 8 on pie didnt have the issue.ive had alot of note 9 phones and they all behaved this way whilst on pie.but there was no issue on oreo
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] -CRO-Maher:
I can confirm this issue existing in my phone as well (exynos variant), and it is soooo frustrating!

I can also confirm that my friend on his OP6 also has the same problem on Pie, it has led me to assume it might be androids feature and not samsungs...??

[MENTION=4376995]haircut123[/MENTION] after upgrading my phone to android 10 recents are acting normal again, no problems with them being gone to only a 4-5 most recents ones.

Maybe give it a try
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haircut123:
Wow really?its not available for me yet this is massive news.not sure why no1 is talking about this

Are you 100 percent sure it's fixed.you didnt have auto restart on accidentally did you.

Also you didnt touch your phone over night ?like wake up in the middle of the night and browse the net for 10 min.because if you did that stops the phone from sleeping and will keep all your recent apps.the issue is when you leave the phone idle over night for around 8 to 10 hours that's when you lose your apps and the list is taken down to 4 or 5 instead of say 16 apps you had open

Also can you please check for me that android 10 doesn't remove tube amp pro from the sound quality and effects settings
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] -CRO-Maher:
I am well familiar with the problem and how to reproduce it. I will test once again this night and confirm my findings in the morning.

I have the same setup as you so no worries there. During my testing even 5-8 hours is enough for it to wipe recents as you described.

Tube amp, and all other settings are the same as on pie, not much has changed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] -CRO-Maher:
So, after a night of sleep all the apps opened before are still visible in recents, they are even loaded in ram. So my conclusion is that updating to android 10 solved this problem for me, I cannot say with guarantee that it will also work for you, but there is not much to lose if you try. Cheers mate ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haircut123:
Amazing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haircut123:
Ok so I downloaded android 10 the issue still persists wake up in morning only 5 apps still in the recent apps menu :( uk note 9 installed it onto a friends aswell same issue
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] -CRO-Maher:
I'm sorry to hear that, are you maybe using goodlock? Or have you disabled stock home app, maybe it's those two
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haircut123:
No what's goodluck bro? Defo not got that. I use only stock apps and launcher
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] -CRO-Maher:
It's an samsung app that allows for deep customization, I used it to change the appearance of recents and to set the clock to middle.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] DragonPhyre:
Brand-new to the whole XDA forums--although I have been a lurker for quite some time now. Lots of cool stuff coming out of here. :P

But back to my question: Verizon wants to charge me $700 bucks for this phone because I bought one of their phones on special when mine broke. Stupid me, I know. However, there are plenty of other phones from other carriers that are on sale on FeeBay and Craigslist. I called up Verizon and asked them if I had a phone would they activate it--which they promptly said no to. I expected nothing less.

So I asked them if they could reflash my phone to their firmware--which they also said no to. When asked, they said it was because they coulden't replace the phone in the event that they broke it. WTF? Not that the phone wasn't capable of being used on their network, only that I wouldn't be able to use it because they couldn't reflash my phone for fear of breaking it.

So my question is this: Can I flash it to VZW's firmware and they won't know it is an Alltel/Sprint/Whatever phone?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
The only way it would be possible is to get Verizon to add the ESN to their database. Good luck with that.

Why don't you just buy an xv6800 on ebay or craigslist? They will activate one of their own phones perfectly fine, just not from another carrier.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] burgertime:
You can say what you want about Cricket, but damn they except phones with bad ESNs!
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] hurtem:
You guys realize Verizon just bought Alltel for 28 billion right? Should be working soon.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] c@rL0$:
Yup they just bought them out, but the process will take months. It might be until the end of this year.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] mr.ellsworth:
I just left verizon and went to alltel not to long ago and now the bought them. I knew I was a good customer but to follow me around like this is a bit ridiculous.

mr.ellsworth
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
Verizon just bought Alltel. The Alltel ESN's are not in Verizon's database, nor will they be for quite some time. Since the buyout, you can TRY to call Verizon and talk the customer service rep into adding your Alltel ESN to their database by saying you were with Alltel and now Verizon owns Alltel anyway...good luck.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] DragonPhyre:
First, thank you all for the responses. It really is appreciated.

I would buy a VZW phone, but I was just trying to see if it was possible. Seeing as how there are a ton more Alltel/Sprint/Whatever phones than VZW phones.

I just got off the phone with them again (I love calling them up over and over again--their answers always change!) and they said that if the phone had the correct firmware on it, and the phone was unlocked by the carrier (uh, isn't that you now guys?) then it would be possible.

So who bloody knows. I'm going to go back to seeing why our internet here at work is waffling more then Hillary.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] DragonPhyre:
I ordered a phone off of FeeBay and it's coming in the mail. So that's done and taken care of, at least. Thanks once again for all your help. I am sure I will be back to ask more questions later when I get to flashing it. :D
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gc14:
What'd you order? xv6800?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] DragonPhyre:
Yes. The Verizon-branded phone. It was almost $100 more than the Alltel or the Sprint, but I figured that I was still saving at least $350 off of retail prices. :P

I wonder if they will put insurance on it? :lol:

starting to think i got burned but not going to bother going any further if thats the case but i recently was traded a sprint variant for some work i had done(taking too long to get payment) so i settled for the phone as compensation, i was there when he reset the device so i have complete access however when i put in my att sim i get a sim unreadable/not recognized msg and in settings i find out that its sprint, i checked the imei on swappa and it said good but i am unsure as to weather i can have it unlocked as i dont really want to pay more(than my time) to get this working. any advice?? much appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] YrrchSebor:
You might try calling Sprint about the unlock status of the phone, or better yet, have the person that gave you the phone call Sprint and request an unlock. I actually don't know how unlocking works with Sprint. Otherwise I think you might be looking at paying for an unlock service to get it done.

I am facing issues ranging from, dark text on dark search bar to random app slowdown. System slowdown, random app freezes, and really poor gaming performance. I have no idea how to fix them, and I could use some help in doing so. The battery backup has also taken a huge hit.

Thanks in advance.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
Are you bootloader unlocked? If so, do a full factory install leaving the -w in place to factory reset the phone. Use the newest "c3" build. If you have a locked bootloader, then do a factory reset in recovery. If you are on a locked BL, I will assume you already have the c3 update. If for some reason you don't, you can sideload the OTA.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] ach4825:
No my bootloader is not unlocked

My bootloader is not unlocked, and I am not very well versed with all the steps to unlock bootlader, So don't really want to take a risk, is there any way to fix the issues without having to tamper with the bootlaoder and factory settings?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] sliding_billy:
Without very detailed listing of issues, not really. I assume you got an OTA which left user space in place. I think your best bet is to factory reset your phone and start clean. That will leave you on your current version but with a clean space to monitor issues as they arise (if they do).

In the screen settings window, you can set the font size, but thats only the today screen and programs menu (as far as I know;)) but if you want to change the font size of the start menu or something like that then i cant help you.

There are some quirks, bugs, annoyances... But I effin love this device. Form factor, build quality, innovation, style all great in my opinion. Some functionality issues that could be deal breakers if not addressed immediately. Bluetooth connection instability tops my list. Smart watch will not stay connected.
[Microsoft Surface Duo Real Life Review] T&C:
I had canceled my order due to the grumbling on the device prior to roll out...only to get a email today that my phone is in town and will be delivered tomorrow or Monday?

It will be interesting to see after the newness of the phone wears off how many will keep or return them.

$1500 is a lot of money to put out for a phone and all the glitches people here and on YouTube have posted.

Basic things like terrible speaker quality, terrible video quality, lagging, launcher issues, awkwardness of not being able to text fast, issues with turning on 2nd screen when trying to take pictures.

I dont see MS stepping up anytime soon with fixes...

Time will tell!
[Microsoft Surface Duo Real Life Review] sliblue:
This device is awesome. Been playing with it since it arrived yesterday. I'm not seeing too many bugs like others but I don't have a sim card in it yet so maybe that is the difference. Performed the update on first boot. Ill be trying an Asus portable gaming monitor by itself and on USB 3.1 Hub to see if external screens work in a few.

1 Annoyance is external drive needing FAT32. Not sure what that is about but I have a USBC Hub working on it with sdxc, samsung 7 touch drive and some peripherals. Seems to work fine aside from needing fat32 to read storage. Hopefully exfat or ntfs are coming. Copying Music to drive now so trying audio via USBC 3.1 to Headphone with a DAC chip in the 3.5 end.
