And I don’t mean just Google’s Android. Every single iteration. With their stupid memory management for PoWeR sAvInG.
I was typing up a rant on how incredibly boring and stupid Disclosure Day was when I just quickly switched to Firefox to look up a character’s name when Android decided that I was done using my Lemmy client and just outright killed it without even giving it enough time to save my comment to drafts, like it usually does.
You can never be sure when you leave an app whether it will continue doing what it’s supposed to or if it will be frozen or killed.
I’ve got 4 GB of RAM and multiple CPU cores. That should be enough to run a dozen apps in parallel. My frickin N900 with 128 MB had better multitasking than a modern Android smartphone!
Yes it’s a very stupid memory management meant to improve battery life by killing any app thats been running at all…
Very frustrating and idiot.
Try play any game nowadays… The instant you switch away bam, killed.
It’s baked into android. AOSP I mean, any and all android flavours.
Disabling optimization for battery doesn’t help with any bigger app.
