Why is Android such a resource hog?

Unused RAM is wasted RAM

>>56024933

OP doesn't realize shit is cache.

>>56024933
Probably because of the fan control software

Literally what?

>>56024933
Because it's a vm built in Java.

The iPhone aggressively freezes non-active applications. This can be seen in many of the speed tests that start by using the stopwatch, when the iPhone returns to the stopwatch application for a moment the application shows the time at which it was left before updating to the current time.

Android doesn't have this problem.

>>56025523
It does depending on the app, actually.

>>56025523

Application dependent and results in a far superior end result.

>>56025642

> Far superior end result

No

MIUI does the same thing and it's fucking infuriating

Lmao, you should buy 32Gb ram and keep them in the drawer.

>>56024933
This is useless without a list of apps you have installed, since some of them like to gobble up RAM like popcorn.

>>56024933
>"I don't know how ram works on android"

>>56030462
Yes I do, Google fails to comply the industries standards. Therefore the battery runtime of an Android with 1 GB RAM is much less than the runtime of an iPhone with equal amount of RAM. There is no denying that.

>smartphonefucks slinging their shit at each other YET AGAIN
End it now. There is no excuse to use a horribly made pile of shit device with such a horrible interface that TRACKS YOU EVERYWHERE YOU GO. Would you allow the government to implant a fucking tracking chip in you? No? THEN WHY DO YOU USE A FUCKING SMARTPHONE, YOU IDIOT CHILD?

End this now. Smartphones should be illegal and all destroyed. You don't agree, you're too brainwashed and/or mentally incapable of understanding and your opinion is not valid. Let people smarter than you save you from yourself.

This don't make any fucking sense.

>>56024968
>>56025012
Yeah I totally agree. Unused disk space is also wasted disk space, so you should download as much as you can and never delete any files. Unused CPU capabilities are also wasted CPU capabilities, so you should always run a tripcode generator in the background. Oh and unused GPU capabilities are also bad, always run a benchmark in the background.

Are there people who actually believe this?

>>56025983
I run CM and I can track when it wants to access my location.

It does so (twice) at start, at app download (again twice) and then again, twice when tapping on the comment section. What the fuck.

>>56030995
ayy, son; you retarded?

>>56030995
Nope. Not even those guys, but you just don't get it.

The RAM is used for caching opened apps, so it doesn't load your fucking apps from the disk which is slower. It makes the whole process of switching between apps faster by storing your applications in the ram, which is faster.

>>56031083
Not when your apps get force closed or crash because of no memory and this is on a device with 3GB RAM. Android now needs 6GB to run somewhat decently.

>>56030995
i dont think you understand what RAM is

>>56030995
They have to justify their retarded android/lonix fanboy autism to themself so they make up a bunch of shit

>>56030995
>Are there people who actually believe this?
welcome /v/!

>>56025389
Pretty sure this is bait.
An iPhone will just swap as much as possible, once the ram is not enough.

Apps will load slower / switching apps will be slower.

underrated post

You can't really floor it absolutely everywhere in a sports car despite how fun it is. But it's nice to have all that extra when you want it, and if you want it all the time go ahead you're paying for the gas.

Having a Nexus 7 that once was smooth enough for my use, but became slower with every single update to the OS, by guess is it's to make people buy more devices.
The drop in performance I have experienced is ridiculous.

>>56030995
unused battery is also a waste anon

I used Linux, I know how it works, but please don't try to mix Desktop Linux concepts/logic with Android's Linux

they're two totally different things

>>56034272
Nice. How'd you achieve this? I think cm13 clean install uses more than this doesn't it?

>>56035436
CM12.1 on OPO
Too lazy to update.

>>56035160
Just install cyanogen you fucking moron

stop playing shitty pokemon games.

nsa spying, constant video feed from front and back cameras and mic and gps data processing and compressing to be sent over the wifi or archived to government reserved sections of memory untill a good connection can be made.

My fucking desktop WITH de running uses less than 1gb ram.
