Imagine this....you are using the Tecno camon C8 to type some documents and you have gone very very far in the typing, then a message comes into your phone, you switched over to the message to read it, after reading, you now switched over to the document you were typing only to discover that the app you are using to type the document has restarted and all your document typed so far has disappeared leaving you to start afresh how would you feel? ...... That's what this Tecno Camon C8 has just done to me. I feel like SMASHING this phone on the floor. I can't believe I used my hard earned money to buy this poorly packaged rubbish from the stables of tecno.

Seriously??
When you minimize an app and wants to revisit it, clicking on the app from the minimized app bar would open it where you stopped. Except you swipe or click the ❎ sign which would close the app. I just tried what you complained about and didn't start allover again.

bioduneberry:


No you won't.

Okay thanks brother

MACBEYLAAAAND!!! ma boy its been days what have you been upto

macbeyland:

The "follow-come" WPS Office. In fact the direct writer page opens separately.

OK thanks brother. I just tried the wps office, although It closed after I minimised the app and started asphalt, when I went back to the WPS, it prompted me that the app closed unexpectedly and asked me if I wanted to recover the unsaved document. It was able to recover it. The bottom line here now is that what is that thing that forces apps to close when minimised even when there is enough ram still available.. I think that is the question tecno has to ask itself and work on. I am suspecting that the task killer app is highly been hyperactive and killing tasks unnecessarily. Have you guys noticed that even bbm which is made to run on notification also gets killed too?

I am beginning to "believe" that there are different versions of the C8.. I was typing a document got bored, clicked the home page, opened and played a game and when I decided to continue typing all I had to do was click the right button which showed recent used apps, click on the document and continued typing....abi that wan no be multitasking?

Don't mind them jare. After buying fake product, they come here to rant. I once uploaded a screenshot of 21 running Apps on this thread.

Y'all should visit tecno's Twitter page n lay down your complaints.

Yes, the RAM management is just too aggressive... Closes All background processess app when it gets to 786MB usage..I did a practical test once it reaches 786... It drops back to 560MB + all app start afresh
I minimized candy crush and it started afresh...which is only experienced if there is not enough memory on Y4..with 1GB RAM

I think Tecno have seen this issue flooding every where.. So they might send update soon,
Then this phone will be super....

Maybe you should update if you haven't done so. Though I never experienced your kind of problem before I updated. Kpele. Tecno sure has different versions of the C8.

Please let's all go to social media platforms to lay down our complaints. Let's overwhelm them even, I'm sure they'll send an update by the end of the month! Tecno seem to be listening to their customers these days. Already dropped a comment on their Facebook page. They more people that complain, the more urgent they'll treat it. Thanks.

Quick question, if you swipe your bbm away from recent apps, does it close or not? If it does, its the same camon c8. If it doesn't, please let the house know so we'll benefit.

Yes it closes. Just like I stated earlier, swiping or clicking the X sign closes an app. Besides that, clicking an app on recent app would continue your work.

Finally, I have a witness. Phewww!!

Abeg if u feel like smashing ur camon c8 cos of poor multi tasking, pls just dash it to me. I will be very grateful.

seriously!! now am starting to think their is something else you want from this phone

Upload your "cached background process" that's what handle multitasking...
Go to settings, Apps, Running, then at the top there is an icon like processor click on it the you will see all "cached background processes" on that page tell us if you have more than 10 cached background process,
make sure you are running up to 16 apps
Or better still screen shot. Thank you.
That will solve all argument


Then I will know i have the other version of C8,
on my Y4 I can see more than 15 app there which mean those app can resume when they are minimise

On my Y4
I did a practical test i see that apps that have cached background process resumes
I now stop one of them, I went back to the minimised app which u will see on C8 too its starts afresh
This is what happens on C8 the phone does not save cache it cleans it once u minimised the app...

Your previous upload showed u minimized 16 app. Those app will only start afresh except that app is still running the cached background process

This is practical everyone can also try it use another phone to see

256MB is under utilized here
786MB is what we actually get from this phone
which makes cached background process close.. Resulting to poor multitasking...
Tecno should send us update to fix this...

lukmoore:

Hi Lukmoore, we do not suggest to root the phone, since it will loose warranty. Thank you!

macbeyland:

I dunno...the way you ask so many simple questions is .......

macbeyland:
I would have preferred tecno made the camon c8 run on a non customised Lollipop OS because the developer who tweaked the Lollipop os for the camon c8 deserved to be jailed for life for such an awful job . I haven't used a poorer android in my life. I still maintain that my first Android phone, tecno n3 with 256mb performed far far better than this phone in terms of multi tasking

N3 ? Are you serious?

maybe you bought the Verizon,at&t or O2 versions mainly for US and UK,this international version sold in naija has poor multitasking skills. TECNO don fall hands.

sleam:

yeah they do,snapdragon and Mtk

Let's all lay our complaints on their social media platforms. It will get their attention. I've sent mine on Twitter. I believe rooting will solve this sha. That ram manager is mad ni

Anytime you want to complain about multitasking, don't generalize it , just tell us the C8 u bought.
Go to page 32 of the thread to see proof if you are a "pictorial evidence" User.

Just because you have 21 apps open doesn't necessarily mean multitasking.. The issue here is apps restart after sometime if you go back to it. Doesn't mean the phone is bad but the ram manager customized with c8's lollipop is way too aggressive
