RAM management

[duckduckwuck]

My apps sleep when I change to a different app even when I have 400mb of RAM. I've disabled battery optimization, and tweaked ram settings. When I use a ram cleaning app it stops acting like that but like a minute later I think the other apps start running again. It's a Samsung tablet btw. It's really annoying when I have some work to do in my other apps. Is there a way to fix it?

Can try locking the apps to ram manager, which model tablet and android version?

Welcome to Android Central! Which Samsung tablet? It doesn't necessarily matter how much free RAM you have. RAM management is up to the system, along with app usage patterns and how big those apps are. Some manufacturers will also tweak the firmware to aggressively kill apps in the background, in a misguided effort to save battery: https://dontkillmyapp.com/

It sounds like you're just micromanaging your tablet's existing memory management in ways that are contrary to reliable functionality. Basically you're applying Windows 98 RAM management to an Android tablet. But Android's memory management is a lot more sophisticated than that. Uninstall any and all of those 'RAM cleaning' apps, and then return all the manual changes previously to RAM related settings. Use the existing memory management utilities that are integral to the Settings menu, it's configured by the manufacturer (in your instance, Samsung) in direct coordination with your tablet's specific hardware configuration. Then just so everything gets reset and loaded 'clean' into memory during the boot up process, restart.
Most of us are not going to be able to out-think the engineers and developers at Samsung nor Google, so when you try to manually micromanage something like active memory, now the operating systems loads into it, and how apps get loaded and managed, it takes a good bit of hubris if you think you do know more than they do.

After I tried everything I thought maybe an app automatically cleans ram and found this app, smart booster. No more annoyance.

I made you the owner of the original guest post to make it easier for you to find.

Glad you figured out the problem!

Since you didn't provide anymore information which Samsung tablet , you have device care in settings if it's a newer tablet that puts apps to sleep so look into that but also you can lock certain apps to recently used apps just native way of doing 5his without downloading more stuff
