No probs. Well OS X also sat on top of FreeBSD, and iOS is more or less an extension for mobile devices despite them not being compatible. If I remember correctly they chose FreeBSD over Linux on account of the licencing

How would I do a screen record without root? And for what purpose? For what you ask I know already that RAM usage is high, but it's meant to be for reasons stated. Also I commonly switch between several apps at once such as around 3 or 4 chess apps, browser and a few others but I've not yet...

High RAM usage is actually a good thing so it's nothing to worry about. Most of those apps are simply residing in memory to be used at a moments notice so they have quick startup. Each of those apps/processes will get switched in and out of memory depending on when Android determines that it...

Not quite. While Android does indeed run on top of Linux, iOS runs on top of FreeBSD in exactly the same way.

It happens to me from time to time (just press the power button again and it will be fine, or at least it is for me). Some have suggested it could be due to auto brightness being on (mine isn't) and I'm guessing Marshmellow update in a few months with solve it. I really wouldn't worry about it...

Don't worry about how much it uses. It usually virtually nothing. Although my phone hasn't been off the charger for very long(about 3 hours) it shows that GSam has used "0.0%" which gives you an indication of how much it would use after (say) a night's sleep. In 24 hours it would probably use...

Is that the stock battery settings that say the mail app is using 7%? I find that it doesn't give an accurate representation of what's going on. Using something like GSam battery monitor would show you how long your phone has been awake plus all the apps(inc system apps) that have been using...

The problem would be nothing to do with power save but just a coincidence that one of your apps decided to stay awake for whatever reason. Power save is on by default on my phone and get I excellent battery life. Losing that amount of battery is odd for just a mail app because I don't even...

All I do is clear the caches, plug in the USB to my PC, and then copy to my PC. Reverse the process to restore. I don't see the problem :confused:

Almost all those listed are not running, but merely residing in memory. It's generally best practice to keep them all open. Closing them regularly wastes more battery than keeping them open.

Re: Can't handle the lag anymore Only partly because some of Android is written in native code. Also, the problems with lag are not with Android but with Touchwiz

Go to settings -> lock screen and security ->other security settings -> device administrators. There may be an entry in there which prevents you from uninstalling it

I had something like that on my old phone while browsing reddit on the Android subforum (mine said something like your LG D802 has a virus or something). I simply pressed backspace, but there was definitely no sign of anything ominous going on in my phone after that. I must have run into some...

If I remember correctly, mediaserver is like an index for media. I looked into it when I had my old old phone because every time I put an image on my phone mediaserver would start up, yet the image could not be 'seen' in some applications even though I could see it the gallery. After mediaserver...

I get anywhere between 7 and 9 hours sot, but I ensure that almost the entire interface in the phone is black. At the moment I've got nearly 4 hours sot with 68% to go
