Has anyone noticed if 5.1.1 is keeping apps open instead of closing them aggressively if you switch to a couple other apps and then back?
I hate how the S6 has to constantly re-open apps that should still be running.
What about other observations you've noticed that are better/worse than 5.0.2?

My phone will eventually slow down to a crawl by the end of the day. Only fix so far seems to restart the phone. I'm on stock with the latest firmware.
I used Greenify to block some apps from automatically starting but still having issues
Settings --> Applications Manager
This should then show the running applications that are slowing down your device. You may also try clearing your RAM memory too.
Hi
After a few hours, Facebook app and FB messenger app gets extremely slow (G3 Lollipop, newest). Restarting the phone fixes the problem, but after a few hours, the same happens (gets slower and slower). But if it can start it, it runs perfectly (exept the messenger, its useless...).
Other problem: closing the Quick Circle phone case, the clock doesn't shows up, or just very slowly.
I ran Avast and Kasp. antiviruses, nothing:S
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help
Welcome to Lollipop? Supposedly, some of this has been fixed or mitigated in later versions of lollipop (5.02/5.1). But yeah, apparently this happens on many devices running lollipop. My Nvidia SHIELD tablet is a mess, for instance. The nexus 9 folks are also complaining bitterly it seems.
Lollipop was supposed to increase battery life and save us from memory difficulties..ART was supposed to be so much faster....etc etc. We'll see.
Right now it's just a cluster. Some oems have debugged and optimized their roms in house though...so...hopefully soon, we'll see more consistently workable lollipop roms.
...cue the ten or so people who will now come on and say, "lollipop runs perfect for me!" ... And the five or so who will come on and say "you just need to factory reset!".
Hi folks.
I need help. I'm with LG G3 D855P with Lollipop 5.0.
My problem is that some apps are closing without my intervation. I looked for a task killer but I don't have no one task killer installed. These apps are simply closing. Is there a way to discover why it's closing?
It is an early lollipop bug. Google has fixed it more than half a year ago but LG doesn't care. In short, due to the bug, Android uses much RAM and thus frequently kills apps itself.
It makes the phone unusable for many cases. For example some times the phone will terminate the music app because it plays with the screen closed. I can't use any runner app (like endomondo) because Android will terminate it after a few minutes. Even phones with half the RAM won't do this and LG just lets it be...
For now you may check for apps that trigger this bug most, like muzei.
I bought a used Note 4 Sprint and since I flashed marshmallow using odin on it it gets laggy or reboots from time to time.
Is it something with my Baseband? Like should I install a different Frimware or it's a marshmallow issue?
The battery is okay and the screen is all good as well.
And finally do you recommend me any stable ROM or stock ROM ? Thank you I'm advance
You could likely do better with later Marshmallow releases and possibly custom ROMs if that's your thing. I'm on the PJ1 update running UN7 (Note7) port.
Between, Samsung, Google and Sprint, there's enough bloat on a stock Sprint Note 4 to sink a ship. And Samsung can't optimize the RAM caches well enough to suit individual preferences because it favors its native apps that are baked in as well as other system apps from Google.
This optimization may not favor the apps you prefer to run at will so you need to understand how to deal with it. There's Samsung's version of Doze and there's Android's version of Doze on your Marshmallow Touchwiz firmware. Samsung's version will routinely shut your apps down and doesn't do a good job of real time RAM management while sleeping. It's based on a 3 day run theory but it doesn't my user apps use at all; it shuts apps down that haven't been used in three days. This favors apps that it runs in the backgrounds continually.
So turn that of and focus on Android Doze is my advice. You can find both methods in battery management. Smart Manager may a shortcut to battery management but you can use Settings to find it too. You may see App power monitor on first battery screen; I advise turning that one off. Android doze can be found by tapping Battery usage then tapping 3 dot menu button in top right to goto Optimize battery usage. Once there, the dropdown menu will allow you optimize doze by showing all apps. I disable ones I don't want running continually but enable those that may be impacted by doze with screen off only. If you ever wonder why your music or downloads stop with screen off, here's a place to start. Push notifications should happen anyway with doze active so those may not need enabling to run continually.
You may consider freezing apps that show as running when you don't prefer them to even you're checking running apps. You can use Smart Manager often to optimize RAM or get an app that allows you white list some apps and dump cache for non white listed apps on a scheduled basis.
Personally I find Marshmallow Touchwiz poor for RAM management. The UN5 Lollipop ports managed RAM better without having doze. Somehow I think even the Note 5 may not have good RAM management on Marshmallow. Maybe Nougat is a different story? But I do know that Marshmallow proved to be a bigger challenge than Lollipop did, especially the ports. Why would I run Marshmallow? I guess its inherently faster than Lollipop. But only when optimized, IMO.
I also use Boost+ by HTC found in Google Play Store to free up RAM. Samsung thinks many apps I use regularly aren't being used. HTC Boost+ can discern app use better and logs freed RAM so you know it's working.
As a user, you can discern if these suggestions help or not. Just lag, preferred running apps and battery management advice. They may not be every user and YMMV.
Edit: pay close attention to battery capacity at reboots; bad batteries do have a tendency to shutdown, possibly reboot as well. Last time I had a bad battery, it was on a lollipop ROM; phone shutdown at 30% and plugging in charger showed 0%. Marshmallow may be different; battery is suspect for reboots in Marshmallow. I haven't experienced reboot issues with Marshmallow or have a bad battery to add to this suspicion though.

You couldn't have got a better answer very concise and thought out. I can only add that a bad battery will have the same results as far as shutdowns in marshmallow. Never had a reboot issue. However many have with the earlier builds.

Nobody else has this issue? It does not matter what I do. I've made apps battery optimization exempt, I've changed any and all settings that you can and yet apps like Netflix, Samsung Health absolutely refuse to stay open for lengthy periods of time. Sometimes they're even still running and yet dissapear from the notification bar. I've tried everything. Even locking h m in the recent apps menu doesn't work. Is the an EMUI 5 bug?
