There's a multiple threads like this... That 300-400mb of ram is used dedicated for system itself, such as gpu.

Where did you see this? You're confusing one x with the sgs2 which has 2gb of ram and around 900 free. Not the one x, it only has like 200 free.

I guess HTC decided to minimize system ram usage. I personally am fine with 600 to be honest. And also bare in mind that ram doesn't mean much of you don't use much apps

hiya, a bit of a random question, but could someone please tell me how much free ram they have on their note 2 on average? (should be checkable in the task manager if the note 2 still has one) i know it has 2gb total ram, but im curious to see how much of that ram is already used and how much i will actually have to play around with.
i know some of you will argue that 'free ram is wasted ram' and 'it doesnt matter since android will auto kill off background apps to give your current app more ram', but to me, these arguments are meaningless/irrelevent. on my current galaxy note, the ram management doesnt suit my usage style. everytime i open the browser, switch out of it and load another app, then re open the browser, all tabs have to reload, which is a sign to me that all the memory used by the browser has been dumped. vice versa as well, as occasionally i will switch out of a game to send a message and then when i switch back to the game, i find out that the memory used by the game has been dumped as well and i have now lost my progress in said game.
TLDR version: basically, what i wanna know is if i were to purchase the note 2 as an upgrade for my note, can i expect to be able to multitask between an app or three without it dumping the memory used by the previous app.
you will have about 1.75gb of ram

im assuming not all of that will be free. ie. on my galaxy note n7000, theres 800mb of the 1gb listed as usable, but on average, only 100-200mb of that is free.
1.75gb free at boot

1.75 available to the user, of that about 1.25 free after boot.
I have updated from note 1 to 2 only because of ram, believe me, now works nice and like note 1 should have been, the biggest improvement.
ram is the only thing i am hating galaxy s3 for, if rams is all good on note 2, i will buy

But this defeats the benefits of having 2gb of ram.

The best ram management is having a program like rom toolbox or fast reboot and configuring android to start to kill apps when they have less than 250mb available.
It will kill when the phone hits the line of possible struggle, so it will be always fast and snappy, and you will have about 1gb of apps in memory to open it fast.

Hi guys, just got mine today and I absolutely love it! I'm coming from a S2.. so this is my first note... When I saw this thread. .I got curious and have been checking my ram.. surprisingly contrary to all the parts above except for the op.. I always see that my ram is used to the extent of 1.55 gigs all the time Is this something I should be concerned about? My phone actually froze a couple of times as well. It could be that since its so new I'm on it continuously and therefore so little ram is available... Please let me know your thoughts..

hmm, wow, thats exactly what i was after. thanks!
while on the topic of ram I'm curious if the LTE models have less ram available to them vs the standard hspa model? I wouldnt think there would be much difference, but maybe some

Certainly does! I really don't understand why some people chase free RAM as it is only of any use whilst it is being used.
Coming from a Note 1, with only 1GB of memory, I notice a massive difference in multitasking performance because the OS isn't having to kill tasks in order to launch new ones, meaning switching between them is so much faster.
Android does a very good job of managing available memory, so let it do its job.
Regards,
Dave

With the note 2 I never had to go to the task manager and manually free the ram (except before launching benchmarks). It just works lol.

Oh noes now Apple will sue your a**! they have that term patented! you better hide boy :silly:
After a day of use from a reboot, I still have between 1Gb and 800Mb of free RAM, without deliberately shutting anything down or changing any developer settings from stock.
Hi
I have a new Galaxy Nexus. Its stock 4.1.1 yakju. I have installed 5 application (Twitter, XDA premium, Explorer,App backup, Pool Master).
When I check ram usage (Settings->apps->running) it shows 370 to 388 always. Is this ok..?
or it should show more free ram...?
Please advise.
Thanks

The OS automatically frees up RAM if it needs it, so like the previous poster said. Free RAM is wasted RAM.

They round. Its supposed to be a 32 gig internal memory, but you end up with 26. You'll notice on aosp ROMs, you have about 1.78 gigs of ram.

Do you guys experience any difference to using ram expander?
I've got total of 10gb ram running and I notice a smoother run.
Any input would be appreciated to see if its only my brain telling me its making a difference :cyclops:
What?

Ram expander is an app.
Search for it on play store. Though you will need a rooted device
10 GB ram??
Yeah I don't get it tbh. We have 2.71GB of ram and it never reaches the limit so why would you think 10GB is needed. But in all honesty I don't think its going to make much of a difference.

I didn't install it on any of my recent devices, I think there's no need, but I did install on a three year old mid range phone that I was always having trouble with. It really does seem to work on that old device.
