Here's my minimum for good Android experiences.
1. RAM. Get 1GB or more.
2. Storage. Get 8GB or more.
Less and you see complaints like yours.
Hey everyone, as the title says, I've had a really serious problem with my Xperia, it's Always slowing, I mean it's like it were 100mb RAM.
when I open an application, it works finely but when I open another like Messenger it gets really slow and usually it ends up by closing one of the opened apps!
That really pisses me off especially when I'm running Spotify or Eezer or any music app, it stops.
I don't know if it is because of the limited storage (2Gb and I don't have an SD card) or because of the high Android version, should I go to an older one? Should I make a hard reset?
Please help
It's a Sony Xperia E2005, I updated the version of Android to 4.4.2
