[POLL] How old is your phone?

[peepeep]

Towel, a couple questions:

• How much RAM does your 6-year-old daily driver have?
• If you’re game, would you turn your phone landscape and swipe through up to forty events in succession and see after how many events the app begins to bog and then freeze, if at all?

Mine has 3 GB and originally froze after 10-12. Now, after successive app versions released, between 15-20.

Running Bluestacks 5 Android 11 emulator, if I allot (within its settings) 4 GB to an emulated Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, it freezes after ten events, if I allot 8 GB, I swiped forty without it bogging or freezing.

App crashes after viewing about 10 events

This is starting to look like a memory leaks issue. It’s when a code within the app (or a library it uses) forgets to release a portion of the RAM it has previously used but is no longer needed. The telltale indicator is that the bigger your memory, the longer it takes before it causes problems. The more expensive phones have a lot of RAM. I was surprised to find that my Samsung has 12gigs of RAM. Even my old windows boxes had less RAM. And it takes more repetitions before the problem appears. …
