Multitasking/RAM

[XDA_RealLifeReview]

You're busy and don't have time to wait, which is why you need to stop reading this thread and get back to organizing your Pogs. Rate this thread to express how the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 performs when multitasking. A higher rating indicates that the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 keeps many apps in memory so that they don't need to reload, and that when moving between apps, transitions are smooth and performance is excellent.

Then, drop a comment if you have anything to add!

So much better than on AOSP (MM). I am coming from a Nexus 6P and the only way I could get dual screens was with Xposed and root. RAM management could be better. It reloads apps a lot but not much more than the 6P did.

Again could be better. No reason why only 1.5 gig of RAM is available on a 2016 device when there's 4 gigs of RAM available.

Ditch touchwiz Samsung. Please?

Is Touchwix the cause of the large loss of available RAM?

Memory handling is a little better, though I still find myself having to manually close out background apps when the phone is slow.

Ended up rebooting this morning and had 1.5GB of ram available after reboot. Was running on average 2.x before.

I got 7 apps open including XDA, WIFI and Sync. With medium power saving at FHD and using 2.4 Gbs

There is enough RAM to work perfectly.

The multitasking works perfect

I'm sick of all the RAM threads. The way Android works, it needs to utilize available RAM for caching to speed up app access. If you keep killing everything and freeing up RAM, you are slowing down your phone.

That's a very simplistic explanation, but that's how it works. Android will use a fair amount of available RAM. That's normal. Don't sweat it.
