Samsung Acknowledges RAM Management Bug On Galaxy S6

A report from a couple of days ago revealed that both the Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge were having some RAM management problems which is odd especially when you consider the phone has an abundance of it. However the issue was the Samsung’s software was too aggressive in managing the RAM, going as far as shutting them down automatically even when the user just wants them to run in the background.

The good news is that Samsung Mobile UK appears to have acknowledged the problem and has posted on its Facebook page that they are working on a series of micro-updates to the handset that will supposedly help deal with the problem. According to the Samsung Mobile UK’s social media rep, “Micro-updates are in the process of being rolled out to correct issues relating to device performance and stability Johan!, Keep checking for these on your device via Settings>About device>Software update>Update now.”

It is unclear if these micro-updates will address the problem, but basically what it needs to do is stop being so aggressive in managing the RAM of the handset. We get what Samsung is trying to do but perhaps they’re a tad overzealous in the process, either that or the feature isn’t configured well to understand which app needs shutting down and which don’t. In the meantime have any Galaxy S6/S6 Edge owners received an update that addresses the problem?
