Homescreen restart constantly

dpksngh453 — Tue, 03 Jun 2014 08:44:31 GMT

Since the update to .17 my homescreen restarts constantly after playing games or using any app.
Have tried formatting the phone but after 2-3 days the problem reappais....
Is there any solution to the above problem????

Check developer options (if you had enabled it) and check if the "Don't keep activities" option is ticked. Untick it. If it is unticked, or you had not enabled developer options, check available RAM. You might had used too many apps and the system restarts the homescreen every time. This happens to me when I play heavy games like Asphalt 8 and/or using the camera extensively. Restart the phone if the available RAM hits 100 MB or below. I do it almost twice a week. The .17 update consumes much more RAM than .14, in my experience.

I have already tried disabling the developer option and have an average free team of around 300mb but still the problem persists while gaming and browsing. Everything becomes laggy and slow it's so irritating.

Restarts don't help? Try to do a software repair via PC Companion.

Have you tried wiping your internal storage? I mean zero. Dunno if this would help, though.

Tried that too, but nothing seems to work out.
