I love my Note 4, and I spend a lot of time on it because of work, personal and to run/manage a blog. I'm definitely a heavy-user, which makes what I'm about to say even more upsetting : Multitasking on a stock Note 4 (and apparently the Note 5) sucks.
I know that it has everything to do with software, and it's so frustrating to see that it's not being addressed by Sammy.
Last night, after reading many complaints about the ultra-agressive memory management on the Note 5,I decided to do a little,unscientific test with my Note 4 and Note 2 running CM 12.1.
I set up a page on Nova launcher with some apps I use often, including twitter, Facebook pages manager, instagram, the calendar app, chrome and so on.
I cleared all running processes and ran System panel to keep an eye on free RAM. Right away I noticed that both devices start at pretty much the same free RAM, despite the note 4 having an extra GB. No biggie.
Then I run each app in a cycle, checking back with each one in the series to see when they start to reload/refresh.
On the Note 4, I was able to open around 5 apps before it needed to reload the app - disappointing.
But on the Note 2, I got to a staggering 15 apps running before I noticed it reloading. WHAT??
I've seen tests on the LG g4 and Zenfone 2 handling multitasking like a boss, but what the hell is going on with Samsung flagship phones?
No matter what I do, and I've tried a lot of tweaks and adjustments to improve memory management, it still sucks big time on my Note 4.
Will this ever get fixed? [emoji21]
