Ram usage high, apps constantly restarting, cannot use phone
Okay so my galaxy note 2 (1 year old) has suddenly become very slow and its due to a lack of ram, I cannot do anything on it, the screen will black out and return to home, and its too slow to even get anywhere in the first place
It has 2 gb of ram and currently 1.7Gb (50 mb free) and more is in use with zero applications open
Infact in application manager under running apps there are no services running and all the apps are constantly restarting probably due to a lack of available ram.
This has been happening since the 4.4.2 update, and I've noticed that it maybe has something to to with turning on the power saving option (after a fer hours of that option enabled this happens).
I have been able to fix it by going into safe mode for a while or restarting, but I'm not sure of a permanent fix.
And when the problem isnt affecting my phone my phone is slow still, talking couple of seconds to launch an app.
My battery usage has also been incredibly high compared to pre 4.4.2 even when not affected by this problem, in safe mode i still get great battery usage, but out of it google play services, android os, android system and task manager are at the top. I keep my gps, bluetooth ,mobile network, many things mostly off except for wifi.
I have cleared cache partition, but have not factory reseted yet (as soon as i restart or anything the problem will go away for an undetermined time).
Can anyone please give me the insight what could the problem be,
I'll be doing a factory reset next week, but now that ive catched the problem I'd like to see peoples opinions on what it is and how it might be solved
