used 'clear all' to close all open apps but it soft crashed a minute later. The new session went 2-3 days fine, reasonably responsive, then started slowing and glitching out. The new session is much more stable, even with all the same 8 apps open, installed COOLER MASTER app to monitor heat/memory and use your backbutton tip (the backbutton is new on this phone as of a few weeks ago when i factory reset it trying to get rid of this problem). Today the phone had a bad case of it, got very hot in my hand for no reason, used an IR heat meter on its face and it was 120F/49C. The phone is new, purchased may 2017, still under warranty. so its only the OS on the fritz skips jumps glitches and spits you out.

A lot less work for Android.ĭoesn't matter, google apps, and 3rd party, they look like they're crashing, but the apps don't crash at all as i can nav back to them in their open state as i last left them. Use the Back button each time and only the one you're using now is active. Oh, and you do use the Back button when you're done using an app, right? Not the Home button? Run 6 apps, using the Home button when you're finished with each of the first 5, and Android considers all 6 to still be active.

(Making a phone call, then checking your email isn't the same as checking your email, then making a phone call.) Why is it different on different days? Probably because you're running a different series of apps on different days. Which is the home screen if the lockscreen timeout hasn't passed, or the lockscreen if it has. Granted, there should be some user-friendly error message, but if the app tries to execute memory that's not there, or does something else that the phone can't handle, it has very little choice but to just drop to system level. What you're getting is the reason people update phones - the phone probably can't handle Nougat that well.Īs for what's happening, what else would you like the phone to do if the app you're running crashes? Hard lock, so you have to trash the phone? It's like a program in Windows crashing to the desktop (or even rebooting).

That's a 5 year old phone running an 18 month old system.
