Help Google play music exiting out of RAM

[solaris9123]

At random times, for no particular reason, music player will pause playback, and close itself. This is evident by the Play Music icon disappearing from the notification tray.

It does this when lots of apps are open, AND when there is nothing open. I can use the recent apps button to kill all open and backgrounded apps and it will still close by itself.

Is it a RAM overflow?
Or more like somebody's hacked my phone and messin' with me?

Lol

I had the same but close out the YouTube app out from running in the back . are you rooted and what device are you having this problem on .

 

[solaris9123]

No, not rooted.

It's a Moto G, first gen XT1028

4.4.4 KitKat

That's a 1gb phone isn't it? That's plenty ram surely. Are you sure the phone's kicking it out?

 

[solaris9123]

Yeah, 1gb and qaud core processor.
You would think that's plenty of RAM. LOL

When the app closes, I can reopen it again and the page I was on is still there. I mean, the particular song I had playing will still be in playlist. I just hit play again and it starts over

 

[funkylogik]

That sounds like it's still being cached in ram then (although that's just a half-guess lol)
Can you think of anything else that could be stopping it.. A task killer/battery saver or some kind of timer?

If not that, clear cache on Music app.

 

[solaris9123]

I haven't installed any kind of task killer.
Or anything else really. Its stock ROM right out of the box.
I've had this phone for about 2 weeks.

There is a battery saver, I think its Motorola software. But this happens when battery is full

 

[funkylogik]

Try earlymon's suggestion above in case you missed it (settings, apps, ALL, Google play music, clear cache)

 

[BRAINZ2013]

If op still having problems update the Google play services app and clear the data in the play services and the play store this would be located in the manage app section

 

[solaris9123]

I have update.
Do I need to make new thread or can I post here?

 

[EarlyMon]

Here is fine.

App closing is very likely due to task overflow. The phone has 1gb of RAM which 800mb is useable. The OS sitting idle is using 550-600mb.

I have screenshots of task manager.

This is with all apps closed from recent menu? Is that menu really closing all foreground apps? how can I make some of these unneeded apps close, and stay closed so I can use more of my memory? Are there any tips or tricks for the OS to close these programs? Like priority level or something?



Also, being a brand new phone; is it worth trying to root and potentially lose the warranty, just so I can take better control of the OS? Itsrelatively tricky with my phone and requires modifying the bootloader. I just want to minimize all the background programs and get rid ofpopups. Ads and have decent security software; but then again rooting adds more potential for malware. Haha
