<![CDATA[Opera mobile reloading tabs after switching tabs and apps]]>Running galaxy s6 (3gig of ram)
Opera mobile
Android 5.0.2
I need to be able to switch pages AND apps without a Web page reloading on me. I am copying Info from pages and apps into a webform for work and lose everything whenever I go away from the form.
There used to be this fix
"1) start opera mobile 2) in the web address field type about:config 3) in the search field on the now open page type refresh 4) uncheck "client refresh" and "client refresh to same location" 5) click on "save" 6) close opera mobile and - just to be sure - restart the phone to clear all caches."

Typing "about:config" just brings me to about:blank

I'm coming up snakeyes from every other browser. here's hoping for 7 or 11 with opera

Currently running Opera 37 beta (old UI) on (low memory) Android 4.4 the cache size is about 70MB and after that doesn't have a 'readable' location instead could be erased very fast.

Now...it will reload...referesh...each tab again and again

Please make the tab stays...

On my Xperia Z3 happening too...

You mean with latest beta version? This behavior is expected.

I haven't tested older releases of chrome on 5.0 to be sure, though.

Also if you have Facebook installed, use version 7.0 or use Facebook lite. It's blocked in the app store in some countries, so you may have to use a mirror site.

1 More and more apps start when the phone boots
2 to stay in memory apps declare themselves a service
3 Every app uses Graphics memory too
4 You might have enough RAM but are out of Graphics memory

It's like windows 98 with only able to display 65535 graphical things

You probably have high graphics resolution devices.

I really think it's out of Graphics memory, not RAM

Android it's memory handling is like a desktop opening all programs you installed and killing of randomly an application.

Also galaxy S6. The interesting thing is, that other browsers, like UC browser, doesn't need to refresh, even if you close the browser for hours.
Redraw is the reason why I was switching to another browser.

It used to happen too on my Galaxy S4 previously, although not as frequently. The most anoying is when trying to switch back to Opera when offline, the page is briefly displayed for a fraction of a second, then Opera tries to reload it and loses the content since there is no connection...

Yeah it is reloading from the cache, but the cache doesn't save my entered info. Even pc's from 15 years ago could hold multiple (read 10-20) explorer windows without having to refresh anything. And they had 256mb of ram.

Such a childish answer especially when the user has a Samsung Galaxy S6.
I have the exact same problems and so do A LOT of users commenting on Playstore.
Swithing tabs makes them reload and it started with version 30, and I have 790Mb of FREE RAM on my phone so PLEASE don't blame the users.

It does sound a bit strange that you wouldn't be able to keep a couple of tabs and a few apps active on a S6 though... sounds like there is some app or service using up a lot of memory. I'd suggest checking memory usage and try to identify the culprit.
