Help Help! Calling all Android users with less than 1GB RAM

Please provide any input you can. I've asked this question several times here and have gotten no response.

My phone(s keep crashing my music player for no reason!

I am using Google Play Music and Chrome and at random times, Chrome will consume so much memory that it makes play music crash. No matter how many apps I have open or not open it just keeps happening. There is no ryme or reason behind when or IF it will happen but rest assured it will
Every single time.

I've had three different phones with this problem. Totally different manufacturers, totally different versions of Android spanning from jellybean all the way to lollipop. The only thing they have in common is all 3 have 1gb of RAM.

Am I experiencing a memory problem?
Why does this keep happening?
Please help!
 
Have you tried a different browser? Which device do you have? What other apps do you use? Apps that check for updates/alerts are always in memory. These consume ram. Minimizing rogue apps is the key to speeding up your phone

I had a phone before that rocks a 512ram but I remember that I can play music and have a browser open at the same time without problem. Its the default music player and uc as my browser. Assuming you aren't I advice that if you plan to play music and browse at the same time then you should kill other non-essential apps.

I have used Firefox without this issue so I assume it's a Chrome thing.
I'm using the Moto E2 on Verizon

The funny thing is, my old GS1. on gingerbread never had this problem and it had 512mb.
It's only versions of Android past JB that come stock with the Chrome browser and Google apps like play music that do this.
It must be a memory leak in Chrome.
Either that or someone is messing with me. Lol

Most likely a leak. Just download a new browser and then uninstall(or disable if you can't) Chrome.

Your phone is messing with you. :D
