Hey guys,
Last week I was measuring battery performance. (Excellent, just excellent.)
Now, I'm measuring actual performance. I swapped the 6 GB to the 8 GB just for that extra oomph, but I'm not really impressed.
For example.
I usually have these apps suspended in memory. Facebook. Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Android Central, Gmail, Messages, Twitter, Camera and the Web Browser. All my daily needs. Hovers between 3 - 3.4 GB RAM left.
After some time I noticed apps way in the back still have to refresh. The app flashes white, then takes a second to "reload." That usually happens once it's kicked out of memory. With 8 GB of RAM I should have 10x as many open before stuff starts getting kicked.
Has anyone else noticed this? It's just a minor annoyance. I'm hoping it's just a bug because if it's not, that kinda sucks. Kinda makes the whole "8 GB RAM" thing lose its' appeal.
I've had the phone less than 2 weeks. It was setup as new. I have since at least rebooted once or twice and cleared the Cache partition.
I just want to narrow it down to a bug in the system, or just me.
