If you ever saw Tare and the android resource economy. This post is about that feature which was removed for some reason…
Oh god is that why the battery management is so awful on most OEMs?
No, this has nothing to do with aggresive battery saving measures from Chinese OEMs.
RIP Samsung infiltrated by the Chinese I guess. IDK seems like a pretty clear throughline from this battery-management-that-doesn’t-save-battery on the bloatware to charging devs to use battery power
I have never had app reload issues on a samsung phone. Unless, it was low on RAM.
I run a lot of shit in the background so yes I did notice when Samsung was killing automatic up/downloads at 82% which took altogether too long to reach that point, even when it was “pinned”, even when it was literally focused with the screen on, the app developer had an error message that clarified it was killed by the system. Do you think that repeatedly killing a process that needs to be completed like file backup (while plugged in and on wifi to boot) is a good way to preserve the battery health of the device?
Oh also I tried exempting it from the memory cleanup alone (a setting I found by accident because I enjoy wandering the menu labyrinths, almost leading me to believe there may be One Weird Trick hidden in there somewhere) still didn’t help. Of course it was unrestricted battery etc. Enhanced processing on power saver off. WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT FROM ME SAMSUNG
Man how many things do you have running in the background and how much ram do you have that this is becoming a problem?
That was on a 6gb RAM device and it didn’t seem like an abnormal amount of ram ever got used. We aren’t talking about stuff simultaneous with web browsing or games etc, just running lightweight open source shit. I did cycle through all of the available Samsung troubleshooting options you know, because I wanted shit to work? Would have noticed if there was a huge background RAM process. Considering that Chinese phones I see such as Oneplus and I assume newer Galaxies have 12-16gb RAM should be fine even with browsing etc and background processes but it’d eat battery for sure
If the phone had fucking completed the backup ONCE when scheduled then it would not have spent so much time trying to repeat it and there would be less background activity :^] my phone does not get hot these days
Hmm I wonder if I haven’t had these issues because I’m on a flagship. 6 GB seems rather low unless it’s a midrange device?
