Android Phone Annoyance

[olds]

I guess it's just Android as all of my phone have done it...

My phone never goes back to where I left off. I might be texting with my wife and my phone goes to sleep. When she texts back and I open the phone, instead of opening to my wife's texts, it opens to a text I read a couple of days ago.

Same with email. Phone goes to sleep while I am in my Inbox. Next time I go to email it opens in a couple of days old email, not the Inbox.

Am I missing a setting?

I've never seen this happen on any Android device I've encountered (and customers would definitely ask about that sort of thing).

It's not caused by something like leaving stuff on your notifications list is it? Even then I'd expect the messaging app notification to just say "x messages" (implication: x messages unread), rather than the oldest non-cleared messaging notification to appear on the lock screen.

You say "opening the phone", I assume you just mean pressing the power button for less than a second to wake the phone up, is this correct?

Mentioning which versions of Android and perhaps which phones would be a good idea IMO. If it's a high-end phone, chances are someone here has used it as well.

I close the notifications each time I open the phone.

Yes, this is correct.

All versions of android in the past 4 years. S5 and S7 for sure, don't recall if my S4 did it.

Ok. My wife has an S6 and she would have been moaning endlessly about the first problem certainly, though the second problem would have illicited a few "WTF"'s as well I think. She went from a Nexus 5 (I have one too and stuck with it).

Which texting app do you use? IIRC my wife has used Hangouts until Google told her to move over to the new one ("Messages").

For messaging, I use the stock Android app on the S7, Messages, A red icon with two text boxes.
