I'll post a complaint about this in 5 minutes when my phone's UI is responsive again.

Then invoke your Phone's power menu and Power Off. Wait 10s and then power phone back on.
I felt that one. Been putting off doing a backup and hard reset for months now. I can't run two apps simultaneously unless I restart my android.
Go to settings;
type "build number " in the search bar;
click on the build number until you're a dev.
Go into developer options;
type "background process limit";
Choose the maximum number of applications you want to have in background.
Profit
Does this apply to processes that have battery optimization disabled? Like say, for example, if I had the limit set to five, and had 5 apps open, would I still be able to receive signal notifications (not using GCM, I think it's webhooks)
my phone won't even do "force stop" anymore... fairphone 5 running whatever os fairphone ships, and all force stop does is put the app in the background or whatever, if it has an issue the issue will still be there when opening it again.
Fairphone 5 is running stock Android. Google has really fucked the Android OS
Apps leaking memory in Android are just going to get automatically get killed by the OOM killer, I don't think a restart is going to address that particular concern.
I have an S7 (yes I know it's old) I still like it and it works - but - something happens about once or twice a month and it starts hanging up whenever a phone call connects and/or an app will get super laggy.
Anyway, reboot fixes it (so far) and nothing else I've tried does.
There's definitely something with these older phones that is like a slow leak and the simple, easy, lasts for weeks fix is to just take 2 minutes for a full "turn it off and back on again"
Plus the overheating when something gets stuck doing a background thing. Reboot reboot.
I plan to use this phone until it dies, reboot stops fixing things, or needed apps are no longer working/supported.
Slack no longer works/supported, but that one I'm just like "oh, noooo" However I expect ones I actually need to start falling off and I'll be lucky to get a couple more years of use.
My meandering point, some of us are still using Android phones where reboot helps a lot
Yall have to have some shady apps I have never had this issue. Apps starting on boot is not normal
Tell that to all the google apps with backdoor permissions that can't be uninstalled.

Laughs in iOS
You need to install Force Stop App(NO ROOT) and run it whenever your phone starts to feel sluggish. Helps a lot!
Or maybe uninstall some of those shady apps.
Modern OSes handle memory management and background tasks. Unless you have something truly malicious running, you're just getting in your own way by force quitting apps.

That kind of shit is why I finally switched to iOS. Android’s App Store has a huge seedy ghetto.
That's the beauty of android. The Google Play store is trash so use something like f-droid instead.
I just got so tired of trying to find things that don't suck, messing with bootloaders and custom ROMs, troubleshooting device-specific problems, all of that. I'm too old for that shit now. I get people doing it, but I just said "fuck it" and got the device that mostly Just Works and pairs nicely with my mac. I know, evil blah blah, but I also think Google is worse.
I still have app killer no matter how many times google whines it's no longer supported
Does it fucking still have a memory leak fml
