Severe memory leak.

[Derpling]

I've noticed there is a memory leak after using the device for long periods of time, it's becoming a bit slow and closes a lot of apps that it shouldn't.
Also, opening the camera and using it a little, makes all apps to be reloaded.

I honestly don't feel this has 6 gb of ram, Huawei need to solve those issues, let's make them aware

I'm not sure why no on is replying to you. I have the Mate 20 X and I noticed this as well. All of my apps were refreshing the other day. My Google Podcast app even closed while I was doing something else. And I couldn't even jump back and forth between two apps without them refreshing. Then I started getting a camera error and it wouldn't go away until I rebooted. After rebooting, everything was fine. Rinse and repeat. This has happened to me several times. While it's nice to know that a reboot fixes it, it's a pretty bad memory leak. I have the International model, so I don't see an update coming any time soon.

It's not a memory leak.... The data collection buffer gets full, and a reboot resets this. China intelligence FTW.

I've noticed that the camera and 3D live maker, kills all apps after 2 minutes of using those.

I remember the gs7e has done the same but camon, it's annoying that I'll open the camera, and everything will be reloaded.

Also besides Hauwei, Google made some improvements to the memory management in Android Pie, that could be also one of the reasons why.

I get non of this and the lack of replies proves the fact it doesn't exist. I have used mine since I received it with zero slow down.

The apps closing is because of the management of apps in the background. You can set the apps manually so they can run in the background.
This is done by "AI" so if you manage them manually you set them to run in the background and they won't get killed.

Your phone is faulty or you're trolling. The pixel 3 is crap, what you're describing here doesn't exist!

Having the same issue but I don't think it's a memory leak. Just Huawei agressive style of handling ram/apps.

Phone doesn't like anything not installed by defualt.

 

[j0ff]

the memory management is horrifically aggressive. It'll be the thing that makes me get rid of it if I cant sort it out. I'm assuming this has happened with one of the updates as I've watched youtube videos of this phone being amazing on the speed tests and keeping apps in memory. Assume this was either on a pre-release ROM or an early version that reviewers are most likely to use.

My phone wont even do play-store automatic updates overnight while charging (like EVERY other phone i've ever had has been able to do).

You're the only one trolling here. Are you really such a hardcore fanboy that you're incapable of acknowledging that it could be a different software build? Chinese version vs International? I just got an update on my International model yesterday which may or may not have resolved this. It doesn't mean it wasn't a real issue. I have owned just about every major smartphone since the original iPhone, including all of the Mate phones and I also test them for a living. Some of us are actually speaking from experience, not bias.

 

[Derpling]

Issue is there, but using open camera doesn't kill tasks compared to stock app, so it's hauwei aggressive memory management again.

Not noticed anything here, I sometimes have quite a heavy usage, multiple apps. No unintended closed apps. Phone is always very fast. Looking into the phone manager from time to time there's always 95% free.

I'm a one app at once guy... so no problem for me, i always close the app after i use it

 

[kaibosh99]

The memory management on this phone is definitely rather strange. Yes, you can force specific apps to stay prioritized in the background, but it doesn't seem like there are any benefits to the hyper-aggressive method Huawei employs. What I find irritating isn't the way resident apps are juggled, but the way the app you are using acts like it is being starved of ram all the time. I need to try out a bunch of different browsers, so far the few I have been using feel like I am running a 2015 build of Chrome on a Windows machine with 256 Meg of Ram.

Try removing the stock launcher, and you will see a big difference m

So the stock launcher is the culprit? Any other bloatware that we can remove??

I have the exact same problem on my Mate 20 Pro.
Works great after reboot but after using it I sometimes can't even go to switch app mode and return to app without it reloading. Since it is coming with time used I also think it is a memory mangement problem.

I am on EMUI 9.0.0.153

 

[Derpling]

Removing Huawei launcher via ADB, seems to fix some of it, but it's annoying nonetheless

 

[Nighthound]

I have the same issue. After using the device for some time, from Developer Options > Running Services, the System portion consumes most of the memory, leaving very little left for cached processes.

After a reboot, the System memory usages goes down to normal, until normal usage causes it to build up again until another reboot is required.

It definitely looks like some kind of memory leak.

Same issue here. I wish there was a way to schedule a restart overnight.

There is, go to smart assistance then scheduled power on/off...

Great thanks! I've now set it to restart every Monday overnight... Let's see how that goes
