      I'm having the same problem with my Galaxy S6 as well. 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...

        The same happens for me. 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.

            I have k3 note. Autostart eabled. No any restrictions to opera. It reloads tabs even with 1.3gb of free ram.

              I have seen this on all kinds of devices.

              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.

                I noticed constant redrawing and network reloading when going from chrome on Android 4.4 to 5.0. I haven't tested older releases of chrome on 5.0 to be sure, though.

                  I noticed constant redrawing and network reloading when going from chrome on Android 4.4 to 5.0. this happened on going from one tab to another and then switching back to the originally open tab. 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.

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

                      I'm hooked to Opera last time because of the tabs can hold the page even for many days without reloading itself...

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

                      Please make the tab stays...

                        That depends on cache size too. 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.
