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 Huawei Mate 10 performs when multitasking. A higher rating indicates that the Huawei Mate 10 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!

RAM management is a nightmare and much worse than with the Mate 9 where I had zero problems with Adguard and Garmin Connect. With the Mate 10 Pro bot apps are kicked out of memory all the time and make my Fenix 5 pretty much useless, same for my lifetime Adguard license.

1 star only for me.

with 6 GB of ram the multitasking is so bad still on Mate? Do you have tried to see if in battery menu there are options for this problem?

No problem here for multitasking.

Got a similar issue... after 1 day the ram usage keeps going up (android system) causing the software to stutter when multitasking. No idea why :/

Same firmware here.

Looks like I'm affected by the same problem, see my post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-10/help/memory-leak-ram-usage-increasing-till-t3754069. Any solution yet?

I just bought 5t and mate 10, it is not Mate 10 problems it is OrEO, on 5t it does the same BS. It's just 5t has 8gb ram and my Mate 10 has only 6gb. I found a way so OrEO will not close app on the back ground, go to settings, battery, launch and turn off all the app you want to run on the background. That is the only way. I bought the 5t because of this app management on the Mate 10, only to found out it is OrEO is the problem. So returning 5t now.

Oreo may have it's own issues but Huawei introduced a new dimension by aggressively keeping their 6GB's as empty as possible. Many apps are flagged, by the Huawei (Emui) memory management, as 'power intensive' and the Chinese phone manufacturers don't like that. Luckily you can do something about it. Under settings -> special access -> ignore battery optimization you can allow apps to be ignored which keeps some of them in memory but others not. Adguard for example is not running nicely anymore and the Adguard devs are trying to solve this for months now. No luck so far.

So this is NOT an android problem but Huawei's. And they should do something about it...

Oh nice to know this, OMG huawei has so much settings in it.

I think this is a separate issue... my RAM gets flooded after just 2 days and it gets unusable.

6 gb ram in mate 10 pro is still not up to my expectation. i think mate 10 pro can't even survive if i use app twin

 

[unbreakable1ali]

Since I'm an exclusive Huawei user for 5 years now, ( I used mediapad x1, honor 4c, mate 8, nova plus, and now the mate 10)

Yes, ram management is the worst thing about Huawei devices no matter how hard you try to disable all protection settings, IT WILL KEEP KILLING YOUR APPS.

MY walking dead road to survival always reload it's data no matter what.

 

[kanej2006]

Does not kill any apps for me, nothing changed also. No issues with running multiple apps at a time, don't even feel it.

Probably because I don't have many apps, around 25 or 30...

I have an uptime of 557h (just over 22 days) and I have yet to fill the 6GB once. The lowest I've ever gone was 1.98GB free. Even Chrome with 15+ tabs in the background is no problem. Just set your apps up correctly so they don't get killed by battery optimization.

After using the Huawei mate 10 for 2 weeks now I can say this
DON'T BUY THIS PHONE

for a flagship with a flagship price you'd expect much much better performance, apps takes seconds to open, animations are slow stutters like hell even after setting the animation to 0.5

I never felt I gained any speed bump from my 2 years old mate 8.

In short it's a ****ty deal to buy the Huawei mate 10.

Mine has no problem at all

Probably one of the best phones for multitasking. I can easily switch from every app in about a milliseconds. I only have one minor issue with Instagram, and the problem is when im switching through apps Instagram remove itself from RAM, so its drains battery with every time i go to app.

 

[Mat7907]

No problem for me, i just let android manage ram, rather than huawei's own management. Just go to launch management, select manual, tick all.

Only vpn need to be set not optimised in android apps setting.

In my country, set ipv4 in apn shud do the trick for a bit lagging of internet, for example opening sites in browser.
