Why would you loose something? . Don't associate auto kill with losing something. U shouldn't loose anything. I have no comment on the preload or reloading issue coz hat was not my topic of discussion. beside i don't think they are android issues, more like samsung bloatware issues. But I still think closing an app is not productive. even at my work I feel real hassle to clean my table. I will like somebody to do it for me while still knowing where my documents are
Why not? Try typing reply half way, and you switch to other apps and do other stuffs. If there's not enough memory, your browser will be killed automatically without the user knowing, when you switch back, it reloads back the page, altough you're still back at the page, but what you type is previously is gone. It's a common issue, if you have use Android phones with less/lower memory and mutli-task, this happens frequently and is an annoyance.
Pre-loading and Re-loading is not just bloatware and not just Samsung. I used Sony before and I monitor the apps in memory, many apps and games are pre-loaded into memory even you're not running or using them. They do take up memory and once killed you see free memory, but they will restart again. In XDA forums, it's mentioned that this is the OS "smart" way so that you can access your app almost "instantly" instead of waiting for it to "load" from fresh. Personally, I prefer let user to choose, I prefer to decide which app I want to allow.
Yes, for general/most people, the "auto" is nice and good enough. I'm just saying, it'll be even nicer if it let user more choice, to customize and decide which they prefer. I don't want my apps getting auto-killed for no reason or the OS decide to kill the one which is important.
This would be an improvement if available, afterall, Android is more flexible. Would be nice to see this available, just as how we can now FINALLY, turn off notifications of individual apps/games from Application Manager. Now user can choose and decide, which they want to allow and which they don't.
