When I'm in settings and check running apps, they all start restarting for some reason. Now I'm not sure if they do this normally or not, but it would explain a bit of the slow down I experience when returning to the homescreen.
Does anyone know if this is just when I'm looking at running apps, or is it something specific to the LG G3, and if so can I stop it?
I am having the same thing happen on my phone as well. Curious as to why this is happening.
Would like to know the answer to this as well. Besides, using an alternative launcher (aviate) it often gets killed after I've been using Google now or browsing the net for some time

I've noticed this, and simply put it down to LG's management. I often use the full 2GB of Ram available too.
I've found the solution to the problem. It's actually the way the G3 manages the ram that is so aggressive that it kills most apps in the background. I've changed the OOM values and all is running well now.

This might be a general ICS question:
Is it useful to use applications like StartupManager in combination with ICS?
I disabled a number of apps I want to control manually... But I don't know if that could have the opposite effect by making Startup Manager having to kill the app every time if it keeps on restarting... Or is it really killed once?

I think it depends on the App you try to keep from starting.
Apps can be started via various triggers. Some start only after boot, others start at certain times and others when you get an email. Layar for example starts every time when an App is installed.
Depending on the trigger which starts the App it's more or less usefull to kill it.

I uninstalled the StartupManager application, I noticed a significant speed increase (personal feeling)
So I must conclude the startup blocking applications are not advisable on ICS...

I wouldn't subscribe this in general. Every App is different to others. If an App only starts on boot automatically killing it does no harm (unless you want to use it...). But if it starts every second automatically killing it at start would make a big mess.
At least there are different possibilities to prevent autostart. Some Apps just kill the Apps. That's more a taskkiller. Others can figure out the reason why the App starts an block it when it wants to start. This is much more efficient.

Hi, I've pre-Ordered my G4 on Amazon, and next week, it will be mine replacing my G3.
As the G4 if not rootable yet (so no titanium), how to easily put all my apps and their data on my new device?
Thanks for your answers

LG Backup Tool, either on the phone or with the LG Tool Kit from their website.
No root needed on either devices.
Use the LG backup tool, then copy the folder onto a PC desktop. When you get the new phone, copy that folder onto the new LG, then do a restore.
I can do that on my sdcard, without a computer? Nova launcher will be restored with icons at their right places?

You can backup Nova within Nova settings. It creates a file that you can then copy to your SD card, and restore from your new phone.
If your old phone also has lollipop you can do a tap and restore. It's an option when you first get your phone and start setting it up.

I have lollipop on my "old" g3.
So if I "tap and restore", all my apps with their settings will be restored on the g4?

No. It just redownloads all the apps from the other device.You will still have to setup most of them. Except some google apps that save the settings online and possible a few others. But mostly you will have to re do settings. I don't think there is a non root way like titanium backup for restoring data. I will be having this same issue soon.
Use backup&reset under general settingsnon your G3 and launch the LG backup app on your G4. It uses wifi direct to transfer everything. I can say that more than 90% of your apps settings will be copied. I did not need to sign in on instagram, and even all the settings on my outlook are copied. My homescreen and app drawer customization are there as well. Pretty neat I must say
Have i to insert my sd card in the g4 before to restore?
Envoyé de mon LG-D855 en utilisant Tapatalk
I had to swap my device and did a backup to sd card . I have been "restoring" now for 45 min and I'm only at 6%, is this normal?
If you use the backup function to your sd card, it will allow you to insert in in the G4 and restore it from that backup. However, as much as I got it to give me all my accounts and passwords, apps, settings, etc, I still have a weird issue. My screen brightness will always start at 100% regardless of how I set it before reboot. As far as the issue with the touch screen that others experience, it's mild to me and probably something that can be calibrated. I'm pretty sure that the reason for the glitches are caused by trying to port the G3 to the G4. I know it's a pain, but starting from stock just using it as Google intends to reapply your apps is the better option and will not have such issues. I know we all get comfortable with the way we set up a device, but I guess that's the point of upgrading. I went through all three ways of trying to port over my G3. 1- tap and go. Only transferred simple accounts. 2- WiFi direct. Did more for apps, but left the new phone otherwise stock. Meaning no customized desktop or lock screen and such. 3- backup and restore from sd card. Worked the best, but still seems to throw the G4 off balance in some ways. Got a mirror image of my G3, but other things are glitchy.
Example, the screen brightness on boot. Maybe even the long press on a key to select the -. Every time I have to hold that key for a good 10 sec! If not more.
So, at this point, I'm ready to start from scratch just to see what the differences are. I use punctuation as a person should. So therefore I don't want to hold a key for more than a second like on my G3.
I hope this helps the group, but I could use some feedback over the issues I'm experiencing. Ty in advance.

Clean start won't solve the terrible brightness issue. It will always start at 100%, it's utterly annoying.
Luckily I could install Lux as I'm rooted so that issue is gone for good :good:
Root? Already? How? Yes for G3, but no info on root for G4 as far as I've found. I just gave my info on how it played out on a restore to G4 from G3. Did I miss something? I'm not a developer or a coder, but I'm a good example of why those ppl exist. I'm not scared to get my hands dirty. Like a car. I do work on that just the same. I may not know everything, but I know how to play the field to score for said action. So... Root for G4? Pls share...
Hi guys. I absolutely love this tablet, but when I bought it I was probably distracted, because I didn't notice 16GB (P605).
I use it a lot for games, but 16 could be too few sometimes.
I tried to move apps to SD, but I have not so much more free space.
I even tried with Link2SD to set installation directly in external memory, but it doesn't work. How can I do it?

You have 2 options if you're rooted:
1) GL 2 SD (root)
2) Roehsoft Ram Expander
Check Play store for them. Use big SD card (32 or 64 gb).
I already have 32. Are you sure GL 2 SD supports Lollipop?

I hope that in the coming future more apps will become movable. App2SD was neglected by Google, worked best in 4.0.3 and not at all in 4.0.4. But Marshmallow features Adoptable Storage. AS seems to use the same method to determine which Apps are movable. And some devs simply don't seem to care so far, as there's many more movable stuff IMHO. Apps w/o autostart services, certain background tasks and widgets.
I have used App2SD on my very first Android tablet with 4.0.3 and a 4,6GB data psrtition, till I disvovered, that the internal space would be nuff for the coming years. Still is. But I have a phone with a 2,3GB data partition. Right before I was ready to dump it, there was stable CM13 release with AS. Now it's useable again, and even more apps may become moveable soon, freeing more internal space, and MM/CM13 also fights RAM shortage with Zram and paging, which seems to have become a necessity with 1GB or less, but of course not yet here.
Cos I went thru really much trouble with that phone, I still haven't got the balls yet to even root my Note, I don't want to be thrown back to a full brick again and again, and without some backup, I think Helium won't work well when it comes to restoring.
I tried GL 2 SD but it didn't work (or didn't find the apps I wanted to move). Only app that could be moved is Titanium Backup, nothing else.

The GL 2 SD is very good for moving big games data to SD card to free up space. I used it in the past mainly for games data.

Maybe it itn't optimized for Lollipop. At the moment I tried it I was having Springfield Tapped Out, Gangstar Vegas and Wild Blood installed, but none of them was recognised.
Maybe there is an app2sd tool which can override the setting of the target apps, allowing to move 'em all at own risk. Many will still work, I' m sure. The rest must be moved back.
Thank you for all answers. I found a different solution.
I flashed latest official Samsung (full of bloatware) so I was more worried about space (before I was with David' Rom 3.0). I found Debloater app and gained 500 MB removing Google and Samsung bloatware.
After that I moved every app (those that can be moved) to SD. It was the first time for me, and I was shocked when I found 2gb extra free space. I couldn't believe.
Obviously moving whole games data I could have extra free space, but now I have 5 games installed and 1,9 gb free. Not bad!

Hello i just got my hands on a nexus 5x.Its so laggy.when i try to switch apps , like to skype or whatsapp it takes ages to open. The phone freezes.Its just kind of unuseable.I have nougat running anyway to fix this issue.i have root also.Games also dont run fps on shadow fight 2 on lowest settings are horrible.
I tried installing Ram managing app it showed 500 to 800 mbs free ram.So i have no idea what to do.

Firstly check CPU usage using e.g gsam battery monitor, and let it gather data for at least one day testing. If will be nothing special, go through next step.
Try to disable big cores when you have root. If it will help keep it disabled because it will bootlop when enabled.
If nothing happen flash factory image and test it one day without apps. If it will be okay without apps - you have obvious answer. If not - hardware issue.

I use Adguard as an ad blocker, and it run in background.
Since I upgraded to Oreo (stable, OTA), I've got a persistent notification from "Android system" telling me that my app is running in background.
I can't get rid of it, and it's pretty annoying. Do you you experience same thing? Any idea how to hide that notification?

Grant notifications access and reboot. This app works pretty good.

How to Hide the “App is Running in the Background” Persistent Notification on Android Oreo
I sent adguard an email and they said they are aware of the problem and they are working to fix it. I also noticed my battery life got much better when I disabled adguard. So I think adguard is having a few problems with Oreo.

Complete Edit:
These can now be hidden with AutoNotification v3.0 (purchase required past 7 day trial):
1) Launch the AutoNotification app
2) Click Notification Blocking
3) Click the +
4) Choose "Android System"
5) In the Filter Title field, type:
Code:
running in the background
For multiple notifications from Android System, check the Regex box and then type (for example):
Code:
(running in the background)|(displaying over other apps)

what issues are you having because i havent noticed any battery drop at all with O and adguard or any issues from it outside the persistent notification .
In the shade you get a persistent notification about battery usage with apps that are running in the background that are not Oreo friendly. When I had Adguard enabled it was using 25% of battery or more according to the battery settings. I know it it always looks like adguard uses a lot, but this was more than Nougat by a long way. I disabled it and battery usage was much better. Locked bootloader locked, stock, play store phone, Verizon sim. Also, never beta took update when it rolled out OTA.
