Whenever I go to my homescreen or otherwise load another app the previous one closes. If I’m browsing Lemmy and I open a page linked on a post to read it, my app will have reset itself when I close the tab and I either have to give up or root around for the post.
This OS is borderline unusable in this state. It even evicts my homescreen app so there’s a 5-10 second lag when tapping the circle button.
Any tips? I have 8GB of RAM, which should be more than enough for a dozen apps.
No. The phone kills them anyway and AOSP multitasking is a piece of shit that is broken more than it works properly
Ya answered your own question
The phone is killing the ones you want because you aren’t swiping the ones you don’t want away
Not OP, but same happens to me, and I swipe out apps as soon as I’m done with them, so that’s not the problem. My phone literally can’t hold open example.com on Firefox, and Voyager app at the same time, and it has 8GB of RAM
Wouldn’t it kill the ones I’ve last opened longer ago first?
Yes, that person is incorrect.
I am not sure what the heuristic is. Probably ram consumption or battery usage, both of which is going to potentially select in-use apps first
I had this problem until I swiped away all the apps I wasn’t using
Alright thanks. I’ll test this and report back :3
Good luck
