I get the same in BQ4.5, and it does seem to be happening more since 
OTA11, I cannot run two "heavy" apps without other apps exiting.

Apps just become some bad res jpeg of their last screen view, which gets 
refreshed when I click on the app again.

I also assumed it's mem limitation, but are we sure it's a ram issue and 
not how the OS handles multiple apps?

Right now my SIM card is in the BQ, but I have to rely many times on a 
tag-along tethered android phone for basic daily tasks, for example: The 
BQ can either play music to my car stereo via bluetooth, or run unav 
without getting stuck mid route, not both.

I got a vanilla install with only Daniel Wood's Owncloud-sync extra (the 
mem issues were before the extra app was installed).

Am also curious to hear Meizu owners if more ram solves it.

Is getting Ubuntu touch to run on a rooted android phone a complex 
operation? Does it have to be from specific chipsets?
