This has happened several times now and I've never actually witnessed it happening but I have to assume my Prime is restarting itself while sleeping. I usually have multiple tabs open in Opera and sometimes when I come back to my Prime when I bring Opera back up it comes up fresh with no tabs open has anyone else noticed random restarts? what would be the easiest way to verify my Prime is actually rebooting itself vs maybe Opera is crashing?
Fastest way to check: Leave a particular app open. If it's closed then it has restarted.
Anyway, after a few hours, most stopped processes are killed by the system to leave space for background tasks, so probably that's the problem.

Can't you just leave an app running in the foreground and lock the screen? When you unlock, it should open to the same app you left running in the foreground.
...or just look at uptime under about tablet -> status.
Wouldnt the uptime reset in the about/battery sections?
edit: ninja'd
My phone sometimes does this too

Thanks guys I guess it's not restarting so I wonder why sometimes Opera closes all my tabs and usually they stay open?
Two big problems with my EVO 3D that are driving me crazy:
1. I have been having this streaming video issue for a few months now. No matter what streaming video service I use (although mostly YouTube or the G4TV app) the video will start to massively lag eventually. The timing is always different, sometimes its a minute in, sometimes its 10 minutes in, but it WILL eventually start to lag. The sound is still playing, but the video stutters or flat-out stops. And it turns out its not just the video, my ENTIRE PHONE lags when this happens, so much that the hardware buttons and touchscreen don't respond until about 30 seconds to a minute later. This only appears to happen when streaming video, already-downloaded video plays just fine off of the SD card. Half of the time Sense appears to crash when this happens too, since I see it restarting after I exit the streaming app. My cousin has an EVO 3D as well and this isn't happening to him, nor have I see anyone mention about this on Google ) the instances of lag I found were buffering issues. I don't have any idea where to begin finding out what is causing this, does anyone have any hints?
2. My G-Mail app stopped working. And I don't mean it stopped syncing like it has for others before, I mean it dosen't work anymore period. I can still launch the app, my accounts are still there, but NO new mail since Janurary 12 has shown up, manually choosing refresh does nothing. I tried rebooting my phone, and even clearing the Gmail app's data.... all it does now is say "Your email will appear shortly" ... its been saying this for about three days now. I can't even use G-Mail on my phone anymore! Help?

Are you rooted? If so, are you on a custom ROM? If yes, which one? On average a simple wipe fixes the problems you talking about. I can't say much about the streaming issue since I've never experienced it, but for the Gmail issue, go into Settings>Applications>Manage applications and find Gmail, then "Clear data". Once you set it up again the problem should go away (at least that's my experience).

As I said, I already tried that, didn't work.
I've noticed my phone sometimes freezes when I wake up from sleep, notably deep sleep. The screen turns on fine, but the touchscreen doesn't work at all. I can use the volUp/volDown keys and they make the volume popup trigger, but I have to wait at least a minute before the touchscreen starts working again. It doesn't happen that often, but it's very annoying when it does. Any ideas?
I'm running stock, rooted. I haven't installed any weird apps, just a few popular games, Facebook with notifications turned off, etc., the usual things. I barely have LTE coverage in my area, just around 1-3 bars or the phone switches to HSPA+ every now and then, so I don't know if that's related. Any recommendations, observations, or comments would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
I've noticed this a few times your not alone lol. If it's a firmware problem it should be fixed soon via OTA update

So, it's been bothering me for a while but my now 2-year-and-2-month old Samsung Galaxy S3 always just runs incredibly slowly. Not only that, but I tend to burn through the battery easily within 6 hours. For the past year and a half, or so, I've had to resort to carrying around two spare batteries with me as it has a tendency to run out of charge in the middle of the day, let alone if I'm out at a music festival or something. I'm not a particulaly heavy user, as in I rarely play video games on my phone, nor do I really watch videos or ever use bluetooth. Occasionally I do use GPS or WiFi, but I try to keep them turned off when I'm not using them. I tend to use my phone for music when I'm in the car, or texting / whatsapp / occasional snapchatting, or checking Pulse News or my internet banking. I don't have a particularly huge amount of apps installed, I don't think. And I regularly hold the Home button, & press the close-all-apps button to make sure that they're not running in the background.
Yet, my phone is so laggy. It's like there's a constant 3 or 5, or even sometimes 10, second delay for whatever action you've initiated to actually occur. You'll press Messages, and it'll take about 4 seconds for my text messages to show up. You'll press Home, and it takes about 3 seconds for it to close. Facebook just took about 8 seconds to load. It doesn't sound alot, but it can be quite infuriating when you're trying to get things done in a hurry. It's even worse when apps are running in the background!
So, I got to check my running processes and there's just loads of things running that both don't appear to be running when I hold the Home button but also shouldn't be running because I haven't used them in forever. It appears my phone has approximately 850MB of RAM, yet my phone tends to ALWAYS run at around 725MB used (currently it's at 751MB, as can be seen in the screenshot attached). But when I do go through the list of things running, the right hand side it tells you how much RAM is supposedly being used. Yet if I total up all of the RAM being used by all of the apps that are apparently running, it only comes to about 300MB. So where the heck is this other 450MB of RAM being used?! THIS is what is slowing down my phone, I think.
Not only that, but there are things in this list that are running that shouldn't be running, & I don't understand why they are. Facebook, sure I can understand, in case you get a notification or something. But TuneIn Radio... I'm not listening to the radio at the moment, nor have I used the app in weeks (and my phone has been restarted numerous times since then), why is it running? S Voice, too? Video Hub? Google Play Music, I've never even used it. And then there's loads of things I haven't got a clue what they are, like Exchange Services, ELM Agent, SmartcardService, etc. Now I understand it's like a computer, where there are a number of background processes that have to run to make the OS work, but why are all these other apps running that I'm not using?!
-------------------------
Furthermore, I've started trying to use Google Now because I would like to get a Moto 360 (but I'll ask questions about that in a seperate thread). So, it seemed to work fine a few weeks ago. It gave me stocks, news updates, ETA to work or home, started remembering where I was parking. But now a few days ago I go back to it, after not using it for a little while, & it's all reset; Asking me to set it up again. So I did, & it mostly works but I can only ever seem to get the first "page" of cards up. When I click "More" at the bottom I just get an endless spinning circle & then the message "No Internet Connection - Content was last updated X minutes ago" appears as the top card, when infact I know I do have an internet connection. Exiting the app, closing it down, & then re-opening does not fix the issue either. I'm at a complete loss as to what to do.
Furthermore, it always asks me to "Improve my location: For more accurate location, let google search for Wi-Fi connections, even when Wi-Fi is off." I don't understand how this works, and what it's trying to do? If I turn it on, is that not going to be effectively the same as leaving my WiFi turned on at all times? Well, except without the benefits of being connected via WiFi. It's just going to drain my battery more, as leaving WiFi on usually does.
-------------------------
So tldr:
- Why is my RAM mysteriously using 450MB that I can't vouch for? Where is it going? How I stop it?
- Why is Google Now not letting my manually update the cards?
You are missing huge amounts of very basic information, search and read for what is safe to disable on stock rom, some things are vital others are optional.
If you leave everything running as default then 6hrs battery life is about right.

I got the 256/12 model F4 GT, MIUI 14.0.1 Android 13... Im facing the following issues....help? Please?
Speaking on the phone on speaker mode while playing CODM is very bad, they can't really hear me as it cuts out a lot unless I use headphones (even though I had no issues at all on galaxy S9 or even Honor 8x).
I sometimes get very bad lag while playing CODM. I close all apps then clear out everything using the pre-installed "boost speed" app to close apps and clear cache, and when that wasn't working tried different apps like ccleaner, and still the game lags unless I reboot (and even then sometimes that doesn't help, it still lags). I even lowered anti-aliasing settings and still have issues. (Even though I'm using a gameshark cooling fan, and this happens even before the phone heats up). Friends connected to the same network don't have issues so it's not a network issue.
Many times while on the phone while playing, trying to boost performance using the game turbo options will automatically tab out of the game and into the call (which cancels out the turbo). Trying to do it again will do the same: minimizes game and maximizes the call screen and cancels the turbo. This also happens after closing the game and trying to run the "boost speed" app to close other apps, before it's able to close background apps, it switches to the phone call. Keep in mind this doesn't always happen, but when it does, there's no way around it. I tried uninstalling updates to the caller app and reinstalling, no use.
Im considering romming to something else as I believe the software is very bad, but it's a 3 months old phone, I'd really rather not lose my warranty. Also I don't want to lose trigger button functionality. I was considering romming to the original black shark software but I'd really rather not rom for now. I tried reinstalling all the apps I'm having issues with and it didn't help.
Any ideas that could help? Would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
