Multitasking on the HTC One

[ratchetjaw#AC]

It's unlikely that the HTC One will work much differently than previous HTC phones, Teletraan1. Here's why:

1. HTC isn't doing anything out of the ordinary. They do set the system to allow for a bit more free RAM, but the reason apps end up "reloading", is because you've simply ran out of RAM. You'll see this far more often on 1GB RAM devices (like the EVO 4G LTE).
2. HTC's devices use up more RAM for the Sense UI and related services, so it will run out of RAM more quickly than other comparable devices (like a Nexus).
3. That said, the HTC One has 2GB of RAM, so it will be far more difficult to run it out of RAM. I believe the only other HTC Android device so far with 2GB of RAM is the Droid DNA (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

All in all, you shouldn't see it happen much, but it will happen more often than an ASOP device. If that's a concern, then make sure only to buy stock Android devices.

I understand but doesn't happen at all with gs3 either. Works as expected

So, is Multitasking on One broken? Does it refresh only on some apps or randomly on all apps? This is a really issue to me. I guess i wont jump to the One if Multitasking is broken. WTH does HTC is thinking???

Still does it and the reason is for battery life. So although they have 2gb of ram it will shut down apps pretty quickly. It happens on all of them, go play with the phone and you will see.

If it doesn't stay untouched for long, then it doesn't refresh... I really don't have any problems lol
