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.

I had the Rent A Razr and it ran smooth on stock with many apps running and still had about 450mb of free RAM free. Half the apps on my GNex and at about 300 remaining. Does ICS use more ram than the older systems?
System specs says:
711688kb total
61236 free
151804 inactive
Can someone clarify this a bit more? Just did some math, that's correct.
I dont have a gnex but on my fascinate, ICS 4.0 uses alot more RAM then 2.3.7 GB does.
would also like to know this... looks like we have 600 to 700mb memory... very odd
300mb or so is reserved for the system.

That sounds about right. I guess it does use more ram than Gingerbread.

RAM not being used is ram wasted. Really shouldn't worry about how much is being used tbh, only when there is no available ram there is a problem. ICS manages its ram fine and there should never be problems with too little ram. Wouldn't worry yourself over it.

Those missing ram are dedicated to the GPU. Though in cyanogenmod, they modified it so that the GPU will only take what it needs.

Hi,
My mobile is not showing 32 GB as phone memory but rather it only shows 25.24GB.
the 7GB difference is huge and I was wondering if this is normal and if not, how can i rectify it.
I am using Charmeleon ROM.
Thank you for the advice

Basically yes. Unless you use a very lightweight system. Won't see the stograge change by much though. Either way, this is miles better than the 9gbs the xl people have access to

Not 7, you have around 2GB for apps too...in the future we will probably be able to cut the system space...

And BTW, if you buy a HDD for you PC with 80GB, you wouldnt have all 80GB,the missing GB are lost by transfer bits into bytes...so our system is using maybe 3GB...
And its the same by gs3 too...

Formating an 32gb sd card will give you ~29gb real storage. And now look at settings->storage->total space...this is a second partition on your sd card. Last one: One some OS's it's calculated with 1mb=1000kb and some OS's or progs using 1mb=1024kb...Win Explorer for example says total 25,2gb space and total commander ~26,5gb.
So...there's nothing wrong with your device.
Even if it was stated as 32gb it will only have 29.5 or 30gb. Just like my 32gb sd card only have 29.4gb

u have 2GB to use it as microsd cart, seems that's virtual partition, so if you see it logicaly i have 1TB disk and it shows me like i have 931GB where the 70GB are at? that's the technique of the disk manufacturers

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..

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.
When I had my g2 there was a file that was put on sd and some commands entered through emulator and it enable swap partition for memory. It really sped up the phone. Anyone done this on the s3. Not that it's needed but curious.

It's pretty useless for the Galaxy S3: with 2 Gb of memory, your phone will never use swap.
Swap is used when the phone needs more memory than it has. It's slower than ram, but it allows more space for applications and multitasking and this could explain why you saw a difference on your old G2 (I had this phone too and it was very useful for that phone).
If you want a pretty fast S3, try a jb rom. Especially CM10.
If you want to replace ram I don't think so but if you want to swap internal with external storage memory go to this link
http://galaxys3root.com/galaxy-s3-t...-external-microsd-for-u-s-canadian-galaxy-s3/
this will swap internal and external storage memory not ram. I did that and got 11 gb swapped with my 32gb micro sd. It's quite cool now I got a 32gb s3 instead of the 16gb saved $100 lol u can do this for upto 64gb

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:

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.
