Ever since the most recent forced update on the 10th my LM-G710VM has had an issue with memory management.
It will literally kill ANY app, twitch, YouTube, maps, music etc. The moment it's in the background.
Here's an example, watching a YouTube video, click the home button to listen to it in the background while using maps, it will play for about 5 seconds then stop playing. If I pop out the screen for the little floaty picture in picture it won't kill the app. (usually)
This is the same with any of these apps.
Sometimes even just getting a text message and opening the pop-up response will kill all apps underneath it.
I've checked developer settings, adjusted the allowable background apps, Uninstalled a bunch of unused apps etc. I can't seem to find exactly what is causing this, it's really starting to make my phone hard to use.
Ideas?

Hi all,
I've a Samsung SGS and I got the offical 2.2 update then rooted with z4root and installed OCLF. What a difference, the phone absolutely flies along.
Since then I've replaced the stock dialer with "Dialer One" which works really well (I tried aTAKEphONE but didn't like it), installed the Whatsapp IM client as a lot of my contacts have BlackBerry's and Whatsapp is a cross platform IM client and also installed the PhoneUseage app to keep track of my VF plan and not allow them to screw me each month for out of plan useage.
I now have two problems which I feel are related to installation of the above apps but have no way of proving it.
1. From time to time when I hit the "Home" icon the phone returns to the home screen but only displays the bottom four apps and it takes up to 20 seconds to refresh the home screens (I have a total of 5 home screens) with the other icons and widgets. This is a serious Lag which seems to be preceeded very briefly by the aplication I am exiting blowing up in size by a huge magnitude i.e. if I am running the Internet app and I hit the home screen for an instant the internet page I was looking at appears to zoom in to the maximum amount (literally a split second) then it switches to the main home screen with just the four bottom apps and then up to 20 seconds later the rest of the homescreen icons and widgets appear. During the 20 seconds the phone seems 'hung' but afterwards it flies along again. This only happens intermittently and not on exiting any one particular application as far as I can tell. Thoughts anyone?
2. I am unable to remove the missed calls notification from either the drop down notification area (when I tap on the notification it doesn't bring me to the missed calls list on Dialer One) and the same applies to the orange jigsaw notification if the phone is locked i.e. if I unlock by moving the orange jigsaw piece with the number of missed calls on it to the appropriate spot when I lock the screen again and go to unlock it I am still presented with the missed calls jigsaw. I suspect this has something to do with the notification actions looking for the stock dialer app whereas I'm running Dialer One but I'd appreciate your thougths if you've had a similar issue and how you resolved it. The only way I'm able to remove the missed calls notifications is by doing a battery pull which is a royal pain in the ass.
Lastly, I'd appreciate it if someone can tell me why certain apps show up in the list of apps displayed by the Automatic Task Killer app and others don't? Dialer One being a good example. I've installed the app and it's now my default dialer but it doesn't show up in the Automatic Task Killer list of apps, same with the Whatsapp IM app.
I look forward to getting your thoughts.

try replacing oclf with z4mod...
Well you do use apps that's mess with you system.
You don't need an other task killer.
I don't think its Oclf fault.
But you can always try a custom kernel and a better lagfix.

I was wondering if I could change the setting of my notifications (whatsapp/facebook etc.), in a way that they won't always appear on top.
It is quite annoying when you're gaming, watching a movie, taking a photo or something else.
Maybe I overlooked a setting?
Anyone? I just now had a crash because a whatsapp message wanted to interfere with a game...the game crashed and so did my phone...very annoying!
Normally there's some setting in the app itself that turns off notifications and such like.
Each app will be different.
I should have been more clear: it's not that I want the notifications turned off (this is of course a basic setting that anyone can find), it's just that I don't want them to interfere and/or stop full screen activities such as gaming and taking photos.
They shouldn't do that in the first place. FOr example, i don;t get any issues with facebook notifications and the like coming on screen when i'm watching a movie or playing a game.
It may be that certain apps are a little more forceful than others. in which case, you may have to turn the notifications off fo r those apps, or set them to only vibrate or something.
some apps give various different options for their notifications other than just on or off, like vibrate and flash only.
Hi guys
I recently discovered that hold back to kill will completely remove the app from memory (not in cached processes) and so apps like Dice with Buddies will not get C2DM notifications (I know it's GCM now). However if I just do a force stop on the "push service" then the notifications work well. if there are no other good options it would be good to have an app that just sits on my home screen that, when run, would just programmatically do a force stop on a set of services.
You guys know of any such thing?
Thanks!
I'm looking for an app that monitors and logs what happens, in real time; live; like the running services and processes in the application manager, on a behind the scenes level... kind of like a wakelock detector, but deeper and more sophisticated...
For example, my phone is always showing a notification randomly, "Finding Location" and "Location Found" and the notification remains stuck until I manually clear it, and it happens with no apps visibly running, and it will pop up again and again randomly. And on my girlfriends phone, with NO apps running, And the phone sitting on the table not being touched for hours, lockscreen STILL locked; her phone will start playing audio of sorts, like an Ad is playing or a youtube video, but when you unlock the phone there are NO visible apps running, no tabs are even open when you open the browser, nothing on the notification bar, this audio that plays is 100% completely invisible and hidden, and cannot be shut off without pulling the battery and rebooting the phone. This occurance has happened in a few occasions now.
So I am looking for an app that monitors what "hidden" actions are being executed and where they are coming from. It has to be from apps that are obviously running or waking in the background and using the parent apps "permissions" to trigger and allow access to my location via GPS. And on my girlfriends phone, something similar, somehow a background app that's hidden; is at minimal; using a "permission" to access my audio/speaker, and We'd like to track down the source of where this obscure audio is originating from so we can further investigate.
Is there some type of app that does this? Or is there a way to acomplish What I am trying to do? These are just two major examples to try to help illustrate what I mean.
Hi!
Try on Settings/Developer Options, scroll until the bottom and you should have something like "Inactive apps", there you should be able to see all active (and inactive) apps installed on the phone. Except the system apps...
There you can also switch from active to inactive, but if you open the app, or if the app becomes active by itself somehow, the status change.
But in those crazy situations like add-aware, probably you should try "Clean Master". The publicity is annoying but use to be effective. After the problem be solved you uninstall it.
Recently purchased the s9 (GM-G960F). However, I've noticed that the notifications are really buggy. I don't receive ANY notifications for my Gmail, Instagram sometimes works but when it does, 80% of the time it only vibrates with no sound. With WhatsApp, I only receive notifications for every 10 or so messages, and most of the time it only vibrates.
Twitter, WhatsApp and Instagram are unmonitored from the battery
All notifications are on and set to urgent (so I get sound and pop up on the screen)
Notification sound is set to "skyline" (default notification sound)
I've tried using other notification sounds but no luck
I've looked in advanced notifications and I can't find anything wrong
Reset phone twice and still nothing
I've cleared the cache a number of times for each app that notifications don't work
Any help?
Try Push Notification Fixer from Play Store

Thanks, I installed it this morning. However, there is no difference. Notifications are still buggy
Check that you didn't enable any battery saving feature or install any on your phone including those that stops applications from accessing the internet or updating in the background. Also check the status bar in the settings, "Show Recent Notifications Only" should be turned off.

I've checked and no battery saving features are activated for WhatsApp, Twitter and Instagram. (I've even turned off the save data feature in Instagram and Twitter), As for Gmail, nothing shows in the battery settings to unmonitor it.
Show recent notifications is off (it's one of the first things I did when I set up the phone)
My current Apps that I have installed are:
WhatsApp
Instagram
Twitter
Google Authenticator
Spotify
Snapseed
The rest of the apps came pre-installed on the device (Youtube, Gmail, Drive, Maps...)
I've started to uninstall one by one the Apps i've installed to see if it fixes it. So far I've tried Spotify and Instagram, but no fixes were made.
I've even gone into recovery mode and cleared the whole cache.
