How's the RAM management after December update?

Hello, been following the Pixel 3 for quite some time and contemplating changing to the Pixel 3 from Pixel 2. But the RAM management issue is holding me back and since the December update claimed to have solved the RAM management issue, I am wondering how is the fix, any more random closure of spotify and other apps?

It is for the most part eliminated. I've only seen it happen if you have a gazillion apps open and not like before where you had 3 or 4 and it'll refresh or close the first one. I use Spotify on daily basis at work for several hours as I deliver and never had it close on me even after having a lot of apps in the background.

I haven't had any issues on the December build, or previously. The security blog was pretty vague about the depth of the fix. On Spotify, have you checked the size of the cache? It can get really huge depending on which settings you select. Try deleting that cache from within Spotify settings. Mine had grown to over 2GB and I had no idea. It's worth a try. You may already know there were a ton of functional improvements on this last update, even for the P2.

It's definitely better. I haven't had Spotify close on my when playing a game or taking photos like it was previously.

I'm still having ram issues when having YouTube playing in picture in picture mode and taking a picture and typing in Snapchat. That's one of the only problems I've been having. Spotify and Snapchat works a lot better after update. I replicated it with all background apps closed and still same thing.

Doesn't work near like the note 9 i will tell you that. Lets say I have a game 2 apps back and i switch to text or messages and boom i go back and game restarts. On the note 9 i could put it 15 apps back and boom still holds progress

Snapchat just sucks on Android plain and simple. It's terrible and unusable.

I second this. It's better but not to the level of Note 9. The Note 9 does have 2 extra gigas of ram so it's not really a fair comparison.

Having no issues whatsoever on mine. What little issues I had before are gone now.

Still closes Pokemon Go when you have more than two apps open, especially the camera.

Yeah mine actually has 8 gb so it is double the pixel but still would like to see things a little closer in top tier devices

I find that the Dec update fixed a lot of problems with smoothness. It was even smoother after I did a fill fresh install/wipe through the official full rom. Battery seems better too.

Must say I am quite impressed with the View 20. Have been using the Pixel 2XL for the last 13 months so was quite apprehensive about switching phones, and there are certainly things I will miss from the Pixel ie dual front fitting speakers, Now Playing and monthly updates.
I find the screen on the View 20 to be very crisp, at least to my old eyes, in fact I find it to clearer than the Pixel. The camera is very good, though I need to play with the settings to probably get the most out of it. RAM management seems very good.
Notification light is tiny, and you need to be looking at the screen head on to see it.
FPS is very quick, and has worked 100%, though I must say most of the time I don't get a chance to use it as the facial recognition is so quick.
Am using gestures for navigating, very smooth, at least with the stock Launcher, not so much when using Nova. Whilst they work, swiping up to go Home always briefly brings up the multitasking screen before doing what it should. The one annoying thing is you have to be pretty accurate when typing on keyboard at the edges as very easy to end up swiping left or right which takes you Back.
There does seem to be one bug I have found so far, and that is when switching apps, if you tap on the app that is to the side of the screen, rather than opening it, it drops you back to Home screen.
Only other thing I can think of at this moment is I can't get any notification badge on Gmail, either on stock Launcher or Nova (and all settings are correct)
If anyone has any questions or anything you want me to try, i will do my best to help.

The international version launched only 5 days ago. Did you get a hold of one and if so, can you share where from and what price so it benefits the users here. I am considering purchasing one via a friend (who is flying) from China but he is unable to find the international version there. I am wondering if Google Playstore and subsequently Nova Launcher can be installed on the Chinese version.

It was the international version, purchases in UK from carphone warehouse. 8GB/256GB. On their website at £579.99. They charged me £549.99
Also comes with a free Honor watch (via claim)

Agreed with the OP. Just got the same 128 gig unlocked, a couple of days ago. Coming from an S8 over the last 14 months. Must say the V20 is an awesome device.
Using the stock launcher with gestures. As the OP said, Nova does not seem to work as smoothly with gestures which is a shame. However the stock launcher with app drawer turned on is very good. Only annoying thing is I can't seem to get rid of the hi search which activated whenever you swipe down on any of the home screens. I never use it but can't find a way to turn it off! Any advice welcome!
Anyway the display, design, price point, battery life, are very good value for money. RAM management also very good. Very impressed and would highly recommend to others looking for a good deal.
To the OP: I've not had any issues with Gmail. Might be a software bug. Try clearing cache and resetting it maybe. Return to default settings.

Thanks mate, will try that. Can you confirm the issue with the multi tasking page. When clicking on any app that isn't centre page, it drops you back to home screen?

Stock launcher gestures are definitely better than either Nova or Action Launcher (especially related to the minimizing app/multitasking screen issue - it's a shame that you can't modify the icon settings more than 5 x 6 to make the stock launcher icons smaller. They just seem unusually large to me coming from my Pixel 2 XL. Action Launcher is a good resolution for now (minus that multitasking screen swipe up).
Does your notification LED work either when the device is plugged in or when you receive a phone call/email?
I just received my version from the UK and no LED notification light ever comes on.

Yes, notification light works, but very rarely notice it as its so small

You need to download Magic AR app from Huawei app gallery to use that dancing trick with TOF Camera.

Oh, so the multitasking issue is connected with 3rd party launchers. Good to know. I was using Nova launcher and had this issue.
The notification light is working, but it's small, not very bright and ideally you would have to look at it dead straight or from the top of the phone.
I have other issue though: can't get Netflix to play in HD. This phone's Kirin 980 is officially supported by Netflix, but I don't get HD badge next to the titles unfortunately. Other user mentioned that it works, but not for me...

has anyone managed to restore saved wifi passwords? I used the phone clone which copied all my apps/contacts/sms (did not include app data which was a bummer) but I cannot restore all my saved wifi passwords even after loading my google account, my old phone is set to back them up to google account, but this phone wont restore them. My old phone is rooted so I can see the passwords but I have hundreds and don't wan tot do it manually

120hz not always on...

Hey,
I have been using the S20 since release and I am really satisfied with the overall package this device delivers. For me it's the best on the market right now.
Especially the 120hz feature was something I was looking forward. Now there seem to be some inconsistencies regarding the frame rate. The device seems to change the framerate variably like the Pixel 4 does. The experience of the 4 was horrible for me on a daily basis. I could see the jumping between frame rates which resulted in ugly frame drops that could be recognized as lag. The only devices that delivered what they promised have been the OnePlus devices do far. Nevertheless the 120hz experience on the S20 seems nearly flawless. I am not able to tell if it is happening at all besides one occasion: Using Google maps.
When I open Google maps there is choppyness nearly every time, the animation is always laggy. This is so frustrating and annoying. Can anybody confirm this behavior?
Reports claim that the device is switching while using resource hungry apps like maps or the camera. To me this simply is false advertisement. Selling a120hz device that once again seems to not be 120hz all the time....

I feel ya 1000% it's already bad that we can use 120Hz only with FHD+ but it's like rubbing salt into the wound that half of the apps run @60Hz...
But there is this tasker profile on xda that can be used for running all apps @120Hz!
I rooted my S20+ yesterday and maybe in the coming days/weeks we get mod's or modules or something that maybe can run 120Hz with QHD+ resolution without any app limitation.

Yeah this is simply rubbish. I am currently using the stock launcher which is pretty good too be fair. Can you verify this annoying behavior of the lagging animation when opening the Google maps app (only while using 120hz)? Sometimes it is smooth but most of the time it is choppy as hell . Maybe you could try it out a few times and give me feedback I would like to get a confirmation here so that I know that it isn't on my end or something with my device.
You mean this thread for the tasker profile?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s20/how-to/force-120hz-apps-youre-supposed-to-t4053129
Have you tested it out since the latest release seems to be from February? Root is necessary, right?

I don't use the stock launcher so I can't test it right know. But I don't think it's anything with your device it's simply the switch between modes wich causes dropped frames.
yes I mean that profile. And no it works without root. you just need tasker. my trial ended but during it this profile really worked.

Well that sounds awesome I will give it a shot then! Thank you for the recommendation!
And yes I am guessing this is the typical switching behavior between the 2 modes as it seems smooth when on 60hz constantly.
Edit: The profile doesn't improve this Google maps issue on stock launcher. Interestingly activating the profile and keeping maps on 60hz does help. The animation then is smoother but not with 120 only with 60 frames.
I tried 3rd party launchers and noticed that they are running with 60 in the 120 mode. This is ridiculous... Can you confirm that although system is set to 120 the 3rd party launchers run at 60fps? My solution for now is: Use the tasker profile and set 3rd party launcher (I have tested Nova and Lawnchair) to 120. Now everything is smooth as butter even opening maps ?. I honestly think this maps issue is a problem with the stock launcher as opening is smooth on the mentioned 3rd party launchers with the tasker profile activated.

MIUI 12 India released!

Upgraded a while ago, here is my experience so far:
Speed
*Boot time is still around 30 seconds.
*Haven't noticed any lag in opening apps.
UI and smoothness
*Animations feel more fluid, haven't noticed any stutter when leaving animation speed at x1, lowering to 0.5x makes them a bit shaky.
*password lock keyboard has a facelift, now easier to use.
*New control center looks awful IMO, you lose info about how much data you spent today! Also, it feel very iPhonish.
*fingerprints got a bit inaccurate, adding them again fixed the issue.
*Scrolling speed has been reduced, and it feels like a jelly on slow swipes.
*Battery icon is now easier to read imo.
*There's a new gesture for switching apps, but it doesn't work on settings page, to figure!
*call recording is still there.
camera
*feels better overall
*colors are more accurate, and HDR is somewhat better.
*details have improved a bit in macro and ultra wide.
*focus peaking now can be enabled with auto focus which is a plus.
*Macro mode is now hidden inside the hamburger as if they're telling us not to use it much!
Multimedia
*Bluetooth still lags, in MX player you need to use HW+ or SW decoders. Some sources recommend using "the metronome" app from soundbrenner, it has some sort of latency fix inside the settings, but didn't work for me. Got to know my latency is about 250ms, though.
*need someone to confirm YouTube oversharpening issue has been resolved.
Will add more when I encounter anything. And let me know if you have any requests/questions

@H 1 Has the BT latency issue fixed in MIUI12?
Sent from my Redmi Note 8 Pro using Tapatalk

Their advertised privacy stats and notification features don't seem to be there though, security app does have an app behavior tab that can be accessed through activity launcher it has no data and UI has no such feature. Looks like it will be added in future MIUI 12 updates, or is the feature CN only?

I can't really tell, I have a pair of very cheap Bluetooth earbuds. I use wired ones mostly. Also, I have disabled all Google apps.
If it's of any help, latency in games is still around 300-500ms, but it feels a bit better watching content in newpipe and Firefox, latency feels less than 150ms.

Really? 300-500 is a lot! Like very much. I also prefer and use wired only but since I got OnePlus Bullets Wireless Z I refrain from using wired as BT seems more convenient while watching YT content and listening to podcasts. On AAC (Default codec for headset), my latency in YT is around 700-800 ms and even dangerously close to 1s in some instances! Whereas, on SBC (which I have to change everytime in Dev. Settings which is really frustrating), the latency is perfectly fine (less than 70 ms). But whenever I change it to SBC, the video starts playing after like 5s to match the audio afterwards but the audio is instantaneous and is unchanged. So, now I only hope that this terrible issue on default AAC is fixed in MIUI12.

No that dosent seem to be the reason, the "permission stats" and "permission counter" tabs are completely absent from the privacy protections tab. Our tab just has links to android 10 permission groups. If you sideload a version of the "security" app from the china beta rom (there on apkmirror) the stats and permission tabs appear but have no data in them. So thats why I think either these features are yet to be implemented or china only and unfortunately as indian mi community forums are banned there istn't any authoritative answer as to whether they would be implemented.

@Acc1234567
I have security app V4.1.2, sideloaded from apkmirror, not sure if it's global or Chinese.
Official MIUI site mentioned some features would be missing from certain devices (mainly super wallpapers, which aren't a big deal to me) but I don't think they mentioned anything about security app.
This needs a bit of investigation.
I intend to do a factory reset in the upcoming days. Will report if anything changes.
@th1nd
My BT buds are $5 knockoffs, with high latency on even SBC XD
From what I understand, high end BT buds have a low latency mode which trades battery life for lower latency.
As you mentioned, the device is supposed to measure BT latency and sync audio and video accordingly, which is the case on my Samsung tab A running android 8.1. There's even and option for that inside the settings! This should also be the case for offline games. But games played in real-time can only counter this issue by using wired headphones, or BT ones with extremely low latency.
Sorry for the long reply, but one last thing. I noticed that my BT performance improved a bit after disabling MIUI Bluetooth, then clearing the normal Bluetooth app's data.
You'd lose the ability to unlock device with Bluetooth, but everything else seemed to work fine.

When an app gives me failure, I disable it first then uninstall it. This worked even for Google play services. Only app that failed completely was xiaomi's keyboard.
[Edit] now it's carousel and keyboard. At least they can be disabled *shrug*

What about the banned apps in India?
Does it include any?

Question Software Annoyances!

Hello everyone,
Just received my new phone a few days back. Love how it looks, my first ZTE phone.
A few questions:
1. When I set maps navigation, and press home, it won't go picture in picture, the screen flashes like it's going to, then does nothing.
2. In most apps swiping back or home button requires a second swipe for confirmation. Can this be disabled, as just my other phones didn't have this with maps or many other apps?

我的 LINE 也沒辦法正常提醒。

1. It works well on mine with Google maps. I think you probably need to go to settings of that navigation app and allow picture-in-picture
2. If you don't want the confirm, you need to turn off the "full screen anti-false touch".

XDA members, I am having issues with trying to close ALL background apps on my Nubia 8 Pro. What occurs on my device when I attempt to close all background apps, there is always 1 remaining which I have to swipe away manually??? There aren't any locks on my apps, and it happens randomly. I don't understand why this occurs when I hit the circled "X" to close and afterwards it states "Accelerated".
Any thoughts??? It is very annoying to say the least.

Same problem, except when I check all my apps are still opened lol.

Exactly right!!! Little nuisances like this are what is causing me frustrations! I am hoping this gets fixed in a software update release soon or custom ROM's.
There is also the issue with blocking Heads-up pop-ups in apps. They still continue to occur.

Yeah I'm coming from a Xiaomi 12S Ultra. Big differences in software. MIUI 14 is very crisp and finely trimmed.
Red Magic as a first experience from a software perspective has not been great.
Hoping for an update soon. So far issues with swipe gestures, fingerprint takes much too long to register, multitasking is an issue, should be able to remap things like the switch on the side, and the shoulder triggers.
There's a lot of work that needs to be done.
Beautiful design though.

So I'm reading on the reddit thread that there are certain fingerprint animations that make the fingerprint recognition better and faster. Anyone confirm this one and maybe suggest the best animation?

That wouldn't make any sense. It should project the same amount of light through for detection no matter which animation.

Yet I just received a response from him saying that with the 4th fingerprint animation counting from left to right he hasn't missed a single one today while yesterday he had a 70% success rate. How is your fingerprint sensor? Any fails? Which is your animation?

Good day, I am experiencing this capped 5g connection using rm8, speed is capped at 34-ish mbps, while 2.4g is at 150+, using same network with galaxy note 9, both bands reaches 200+mbps

Hi , can you tell me what's happened with multitasking ?

The latest update has fixed this issue.

Register the Same finger Multiple times!!!
I have the same Finger registered 3 time and I have yet to have a problem.
it does have issues with just 1 register.
I can say that the Fingerprint reader in my Asus ROG 3 phone was way worse then this one.
i couldn't even use the one in the ROG phone

China OEMs are like that. Even Oneplus oxygenOS, xiaomi MIUI also the doing the same. If you are using whatsapp, and u cleared the recent tasks at the whatsapp screen, the whatsapp will still be opened. The only way u can clear all recents is to exit from whatsapp first to home screen, and clear all.
I dont even get the reason why they do that and cant just clear everything from the recents page

I also realised PIP in youtube doesnt work when using gesture navigation. The only wait to trigger PIP to work for youtube is to keep swiping back till the youtube app exits..
Just by swiping up to home screen doesnt trigger PIP

It does pip if you swipe to home when you are in fullscreen mode or when you press a notification from another app. Same happens for every app that supports pip that I have tried.

Translation is horrible. Hungarian language is missing on most part and software update menu is displayed in Spanish istead of Hungarian or English.

@GodKingKnight, have there been any improvements in the UI and those pesky nuisances that plagued the RedMagic 8 Pro since the past few updates have rolled out? I ended up selling mine to go with a folding device, but I am considering picking it back up again.... that is given the firmware updates have addressed much of the issues that plagued the device in its initial release.
