Memory Issues

[EMGSM]

Great.... mine no longer crashes even after enabling optimization. Maybe it took a while for the device to learn what to close.

Same here. Mine hasn't crashed since the first few days when I got the phone.

My wife is always complain that her X isn't any different than the 6S she gave up. I keep pointing out the screen size but it's like she doesn't see the real difference.

Lol my wife just went from the 6 to Xs. To me it's like night and day in speed and agility and that screen is nice, but the damn thing still looks exactly the same as my old 4S did.

I assume after the initial bling wears off say in a week of use, I'd be bored and looking to get back to Android.

I'm also not loving the loss of FPS on the new iPhones. I think Google did right by leaving the FPS on the Pixels, but I really wish they would have just copied Apples gestures. It's very intuitive and smooth to use.

I'm kind of ticked that the came out with the X first in one size. Of course now my daughter wants the bigger one. It's a diabolical plot I tell you....

The X and Xs are both a very nice size, not too big, a little on the heavier side though. I think the Pixel 3 (small version) is the perfect size for me personally.

Google has now acknowledged the issue and are saying there will be fix in the [coming weeks].

FTFY

This is great news, but I'm still throwing my Pixel 3 return into the mail today. By the time the update is released the S10 will be about to release for a similar price but with 6gb of RAM, better gesture navigation, an in-screen fingerprint reader, and a notification LED.

All good except it'll still probably have their goddawful curved screen which I'll never buy again.

Love my S8 other than the curved screen, Sammy/att bloat, and the fact that wireless charging stopped working.

I honestly think the iPhone is probably the best phone overall when you consider smoothness, performance, quick updates, privacy, quality control, and imessage. There was a review for the OnePlus 6t that said it's "90% of the phone for 60% of the price". The main reason I choose android over iPhone at this point is because compared to iPhone, I feel like it's 98% of the phone, for 75% of the price. I couldn't help but feel that I'm getting ripped off if I were to buy an iPhone. To add injury to insult, the repair prices on the iPhone X models are insane and they don't include a fast charger with their phones.

I buy my phones unlocked so there's no carrier bloat and most other Samsung services that I haven't been able to disable don't run in the background if you don't use them, and can be hidden from the app drawer. I checked and the only Samsung services I have running on my phone right now are something for Samsung Pay, Connect, and Bixby...totaling about 20 mb. Either way, why would I care if the phone still runs faster than the Pixel 3?

I agree that the curve on the side of the galaxy screens is getting a bit tacky...hopefully they remove this on the S10. And FWIW the edge of the S9 is less curvy then the S8. I like the curve being on the glass, but not distorting the screen itself.

I haven't had it happen to me once .. I run a skinny phone, though.

I going to be patient and not worry about their wordsmithing. There are situations where eventually apps will close... prematurely or otherwise.

I don't see any missing pictures in the Photos app so I don't think I am having the issue....

I'm not having photos issue either.

I'm aware of the issues but it's not happening to mine ... I did get the camera and you tube app playing together to kick you tube off but didn't happen after that
