Hi guys, can anyone tell me how can I fix this situation, because when I'm using my Nexus 9 most of the times when I minimize an app and open other, most of the time the app that I minimize will restart.
Did a factory defaults and options in developper seem to be ok, no restritctions regarding apps on backgroung.
Usually I play Star wars Galaxy of heroes, and if I change to discord (chat app) when I return it restarts my game
I also noticed that Ram availability is low, and I did a factory default 2 days ago, only installed the game and discord, nothing else.
Any suggestion?? Should I Root and Install a new ROM, if so what would you recommend?
I would prefer to Keep the actual OS if there's a fix for it
Thanks
I can't help but wonder if this is similar to what mine does. The apps in the recent display disappear -not all of them but definitely 50%. This does not happen on my N5X. I can't say when it started but at least 4 months ago.

Hi, the apps don't disappear, the tabs are there, they simply restart when I select them instead of just changing back to the previously running app.
It's kind of annoying when I'm on the middle of a game and want to check out something else, if I switch to chrome or other app there is a big risk that the game will restart and I will lost any progression made...same happens with other apps.

so i have had my phone for 11 days now and it's been a very good phone (coming from a blackberry, iphone 3g, now this) but today I have noticed some real peoblems. Besides going threw 3 sim cards in less then 2 weeks but my phone has been freezing up alot today about 5 time and the only way I could get it back working was to take the battery out Any ideas?
During freezing I was playing angry birds, surfing the web, going threw android market, running speed test. I am getting "force close" alot also when getting on the XDA app(during loading latest topics) Thanks for any input!

Looks like you have to do some trouble shooting. When the FCs started have you installed any application recently that may cause that like a task killer or a launcher app like Launcher pro, ADW EX, Go launcher? If not there are so many bad apps in the market that can cause force closes. I would factory wipe your phone. Of course all your settings and customizations are gone then; so be careful what you have to save before doing that. I would try the phone for some hours without any app from the market. If you still get force closes it is most likely the phone. If everything is ok...start to install all your apps but little by little so that you can pin point the bad app.
I have launcher pro. I will remove it and see what happens

Launcher Pro probably isn't your problem as most of the people I know with atrix's use it.
Hey there, was trying out the multitasking on the phone and am experiencing RAM shortage? 2GB would have been great, but as I had the GSII I know that there is a lot more capability with 1GB..
On my GSII I could run more apps in the background than now. With the GSIII I can only have 3 apps working at the same time?! Everything keeps refreshing.. the browser, the launcher etc. Even the music stops sometimes while multitasking...
Anyone facing the same issue?

I mean you should check the task manager, if you can get more than 4 apps to run?

Apart from the odd occassional main home screen refresh now and again, nothing out of the ordinary for me.
Stock ROM, but running a themed screen and icons with Go Launcher.
Might be worth looking at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1634624
Some useful hints and tips on closing/removing apps. I personally just disabled them, made the mistake of removing some core ones from my GNex and made a right royal mess.
Good luck, let us know how you get on. :good:
Thank you for the useful thread you posted, but I didn't have to remove bloatware on my gsII to multitask? Even though I did remove it after a while it still worked before doing anything. I just can't imagine Samsung will ship a phone, where you have to remove apps to multitask properly?
So you can run more than 4 apps in the task manager?
Sad we in Europe didn't get the choice like in the U.S.between the two versions. As I feel the RAM would have been more future proof..
But putting this aside, I'm really impressed what they have packed into the touchwiz out of the box ! I don't even feel like rooting and flashing, because everything is running just fine.
As I know myself I'll find myself fondling around pretty soon, because Iknow the potential of xda
Just am facing this issue, which is really bugging me atm.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
I've got about 10 apps so far showing when I press the task manager button, no signs of lag so far for me.
Memory usage for me is 644Mb out of 779Mb.
Can't think of anything preventing you from opening more than 4 apps on the go.
No that thing you are seeing is the recent apps menu! That is just a chronology of what you opened recently and is no real time multitasking! In that menu you have to press "task-manager". There you'll see the apps which are truly running
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Yeah, I did say I pressed the Task Manager button, maybe I should'be been more clear on what I pressed and where it took me.
Anyways, I've attached a picture to clarify that I had at least 10 apps running.
You didn't tweak around the Developer options have you by any chance? Near the end of the list there is a section that says Limit background processes, mine has Standard limit, if clicked, options include No background processes, 1,2,3,4 processes at most.
If it's not that, then I'm out of ideas.
I don't own the sg3 (plan on buying one soon), but I know that in ICS there is an option in settings under developer options where you can set the number of apps allowed to run in the background.
Worth a shot.
Gold luck.

multi tasking is perfect on omega roms.
Thanks for your effort mate!
At least now I know, that something isn't right with my phone... I had checked the developers options before, it was set on standard... I haven't done anything with the phone yet, that's the funny thing :/
I'll check what else I can do when I'M home from work.
I just noticed the issue when I was trying out the chrome and stock browser simultaneously. but the pages were all reloading. Which was not the case on sII.
really weird..
You are still on stock ROM?

I also face this problem of all webpages reloading all the time after switching apps.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
That happens when your phone runs out of memory, are you sure you're not running too many background apps?
Browsers are huge memory hogs, so it's not really surprising when you run 2 at the same time, but it all depends on the amount of open tabs and the webpages within.
The same "issue" appears on S2 (Stock an CM9) and with somewhat heavier usage on the Note.
no issues at all 1gb is perfect i dont need more
I think I solved it! Have to test it later.
Just removed the battery and inserted it again.. I know.. so trivial and didn't do that before dramatizing here thanks anyway!!!

This happens to me too and I very much doubt the problem isn't on everyone's phone.
One gig is obviously not enough on this phone.
Just for the record I love the phone but my browser is the only thing running and my home screen has just redrawn
Hey guys I'm back ..
Now I can open more apps simultaneously, but around after a minute everything closes down. They don't stay on they just close after a while..
I don't know what the reason is, but could you check and open a few apps? Then just look after a minute or so if they close down .

Hello Proud GS3 owners,
I have been loving the phone so far. However I have had a couple of problems. Haven't rooted the phone so far. Just so that you know. Also its my first android so forgive me for any noobishness
The problems i have been facing are :
1. When I use FB for sync in accounts and sync it has the option to sync calendar and gallery. However the calendar doesn't sync. I have tried to unsync and resync it and all other basic steps that I could possibly think of but it doesn't help.
2. This is a bit unusual (Given the phones top specs) but sometimes I have noticed that the phone starts lagging specially when its hot after using it at a stretch. I make it a point to keep closing the apps running in the background but it still lags. Its fine after a few minutes when the phone isn't hot anymore or when it has not been used extensively. What am I doing wrong? Also just to add Nova 3 isn't t as smooth as I have seen it in the videos on youtube. Could it be a hardware issue?
3. This is the one which really bugs me the other two are no biggies. My apps keep redrawing/refreshing when i open them after minimizing. So if I have a game that i am playing and I decide to use the stopwatch and browse I minimize the game using the home key not the back key. Start the stopwatch. Start browsing. Then I return back and when I open the browser the page reloads itself. Also stopwatch resets itself completely which is a pain in the rear. I am using the stock browser.
Also have tried resetting the phone back to factory default and took the phone to samsung and I believe they flashed the stock ROM but all the above issues have not been fixed.
Any help would be extremely appreciated

3rd one is bad software optimization, there is a fix in the development section for Samsung JB based roms, it will let you multitask 7+ apps.
Second problem, you say the phone is hot when it happens? maybe the CPU got hot too and is throttling down, are you sure powersaving mode is off?
First problem, Facebook for android was really bad, it started improving but facebook developers are dumb, try third party apps like friendcaster.
I agree the facebook app isn't great. However it concerns me when my friend who has the same version of GS3 can get his calendar to sync without using any 3rd party app and I cannot. But I will give a 3rd party app a shot.
I will be searching for the thread you mentioned and try to tweak the settings and see how it goes
I am not really sure what can be done as far as the second issue is concerned. Also as I mentioned earlier I hate it when I play a top notch game like NOVA 3 but it isn't as smooth as expected. Other games like fifa 12, Dead trigger hold up fine.
Thanks for the suggestions though
[Edit] : Yes I do make sure power saving is off as I am aware it slows down the CPU and there is a considerable lag specially when scrolling pages on the home screen or the app drawer which I do not like. It does improve the battery life to a certain extent but I cannot complain if I get a battery life of around 10-12 hours which includes 3 hours of screen time with pretty heavy usage while having the power saving mode off

Hi all,
Made the jump from iphone to S3, and am happy, theres just afew niggles i need to sort out to be 100% happy
1) my music will just pause for no apparent reason, i have switched off all the motion gubbins, tried lots of players, but they all just randomly pause,. Sometimes its 2 seconds after i press play, other times i get to listen to a few songs. My music is what keeps me going, so i need to fix this otherwise i may have to jump back to the iphone 5. I have sesrched the interweb, and tried all the fixes, nothing does it for me
2) is there anyway to get rid of all the stock samsung gubbins, its eating my memory. A nice clean nexus 7 style woukd be good. Im regularly at max ram, causing jerkyness. What am i doing wrong.?
I think those are the two key things i would like to fix......
Anyone have any idea???
One last question, is there anyway to see what services i have disabled easily?
Ta all!

My N9 freezes in about 2 minutes every time I've done a reboot. I recently updated Nova beta and the usual updates in the Play Store. How can I discover what (app) is causing this?

I would recommend flashing the factory image and seeing if you still have the problem. If you do it's time to rma the device.

If you have root, you can use System Tuner (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.pmw) to prevent apps from auto-starting on boot (watch the video on the app page).

There is a safe mode. Hold power button, then hold power off, then press OK. After reboot only original Google apps are started. Does your N9 run normal trying this?
NEXUS 9 Freezing too
I too am having problems with the screen freezing too. Only way out is to force a reboot by holding the power button. Image on screen becomes garbled, and if sound is playing at the time of freeze, a loud time is continuously heard. Occurs almost exclusively while using graphic intensive apps, and after extended periods of use. Also, usually feels warm/hot too the touch on the device back near the camera's corner. Has occurred while running stock 5.0.2, and while running Dirty Unicorns 5.0.2 with Elemental X Kernel. Has only been occurring over the past 2 weeks or so, and it didn't correspond to any OTA'S or similar system change. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am now trying to see if underclocking the CPU/GPU help prevent this, and turned on Elemental X's Thermal Throttling in case over heating is the issue.
My Nexus freezes at least once per day, and lags, and automatically reboots at least once per week. Glad 5.1 will be rolled out soon to us. I hope it fixes all these issues.
mine has stutters all day - used stock and AICP and happens on both. it's almost always when using chrome. the quickest way to get the screen active again is to swipe down on the nav bar.
Yep Chrome is where I get my freezes. Happens on my N5 too. Might just be Chrome or maybe Adaway?

Use Chrome beta, the normal Chrome behaves oddly outside of the Windows version. I disabled Chrome on my Nexus 4 as well after giving it L.
