Multitasking experience

[iJohnnyCash]

I thought to open this thread to talk about the multitasking experience on L650.

I use this device as main for more than one year, but expect the audio multitasking through Spotify or Groove, I don't found any other real and well functional multitask case. Even not with data calculator, which is a real mess.

For example, I use perfect records app for recoding, but if I switch to an another app the recoding get paused. The same if I turn-off the display. The Edge can't continue to play a html audio/video player (lets say youtube). The mytube app can't even continue to play the audio if you switch to another app.

Of course, notifications aren't an multitask feature. I believe my bad experience is about the poor cpu.

What about your experience? are you happy?

For such a low specced device, the performance is admirable.

You can try MyTube Beta
This is built specially for Windows 10 and it will continue to play videos even when you exit the app.

It may be that the apps just weren't written to run in the background. A lot of Free Trials don't include that function. Just saying.

Windows 10 mobile isn't a real time multi-tasking environment. Android only emulates being one by keeping some tasks in ram, and continueing services, but it also freezes apps.

The only true real time mobile OS currently is blackberry 10, which is dead.

Basically you don't get real multi-tasking on a mobile platform, at best, an emulation.

What you need is sound recorder hi-res, it will continue recording when multitasking or blocked phone

Multitasking??? Yeah, no mobile OS has that yet. The problem with it is battery life. If an app is chewing up the cpu or memory, the battery will drain a bit more. I think they need to implement a way that apps can be told to run in the background - a setting perhaps - to do so. That way if I need to switch to Edge, search up something then go back, I don't have to essentially reload the app. Now normally there is a timeout for when apps are suspended, but that doesn't always work either.
