I'm very pleased that for less than 200 dollars you can get a Chinese phone that has better specs than a 1000 dollar US phone.
BUT this is only truly good if the phone actually WORKS well, and I recently discovered a hidden developer setting that has made the difference between my UMIDIGI NOTE 100 5G having battery drain issues due to overly aggressive background app termination, especially for apps that you might rapidly switch between.
The setting is called "Suspend Execution for Cached Apps"
By setting this to DISABLED, the phone no longer immediately closes apps as soon as you switch to a different app. It allows the apps to actually use the large RAM capacity and keep them in memory so that when you switch back, they are immediately ready rather than having to load from scratch which sometimes loses your current working state.
Are there any other little tricks like this that anyone knows about to improve the performance of these phones even further?
