Whats my real available free ram?
Most apps give me this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But at the same time in running services i get this
Running services screen always give me a high amount but other apps are always hovering in the 100's
So im confused about whats my available ram

So you really couldn't just add the 345 used and the 349 free?
694 right there with the rest of the GB probably already allocated to system tasks.

Thanks for replying but what i really wanted to know was my true FREE ram
Not the total amount just the remaining unused ram

"FREE" ram doesn't work like that anymore, this isnt windows 98. When your system or app requires more ram it reallocates it to satisfy the active application. It isn't a simple concept as you are used to where ram was simply gauged as if it were a glass of water and the more unused water was measurable. Now the system holds it in reserve.
free ram will be different every single time you check.

By this i understand that regardless of which amount of free ram is the right one, i shouldnt pay that much attention to it
And to stop trying to manage my ram
Ive heard something like that before
Well as long as it doesnt slow down i wont worry that much

Well you aren't going to get more space than whatever was available when you purchased the phone. Android OS does take up space on the phones hard drive
I believe that if you turn the swagger toggle on in AOKP you get unlimited magical unicorn storage.

The only way to do this would be to compress the data—which would come at the cost of reduced speed and more CPU usage when accessing the data.

Worked for me.
Also try the 'Over 9000' mode on Codename Android - gives you over 9000% more space

Someone should also mention that when marketing "16GB," they are referring to 16x10^9 bytes, but computers read 16GB as 2^34 bytes. This makes you appear to have less than 16GB.

Dear members,
I've seen that someone asked before how much free memory do you have on your Nexus.
I think that this depends ALOT on what rom do you have installed.
And when it comes to this subject, I've seen that my memory tends to decrease over time, for example when starting (and killing almost everything) I have between 410 and 460 mb, and in 48 h (without turning off) I see that it decreases to 330 mb (this is again, when killing every app with task killer and clearing recent apps).
Do you know why this happens??? And who wants to know, I'm running Codename Android.
(Paranoid Android tends to use more memory: when starting (and killing every app with task killer and clearing recent apps) there is 340 mb free.)

This probably had been asked at least 200 times now. The reason is that 300-400mb amount of ram is being used by gpu and stuff. So only 600 is available for the cpu

.... I guess some people isn't satisfied until the OS use 1 Pico byte and have a gazillion bytes free memory...

Lol ok.
Well than the answer is that apps takes more ram over time. But you take shouldn't worry about them, since android takes good care of the ram anyways

In Android, unused RAM is wasted RAM. Yes, more and more will show used over time, but will also free up on its own, as well as when it is needed. I'm well over 80hrs uptime and have 350-375MB free. I use stock, no mods, no task killers, nothing.

Has anyone not received there 50Gig of dropbox space?
I got 50 for my S3 but didnt get anything for my note 2.
Anyone else?
Possibly you haven't checked email and visited dropbox page?

You don't get any extra from an extra device. 50gb is the max you get with any Samsung device.

I dropped them a mail and I was told this.
Hi Graham,
Thanks for writing in to us!
Unfortunately you cannot have two instances of the same promotion tied to one Dropbox account. I would suggest either granting your second promotion to another Dropbox account you may have, or giving it to a friend of family member. Sorry for any frustration this causes.
I hope this information helps! I'll be happy to answer any more of your questions.
Best,
Reid
50 Gb ??
I only got 2Gb...???

You need to install it on your computer, a second computer, upload from your camera and you will get 48GB :good:

i also got 50 GB, even though its only for 2 years.. my note2 wont even last that long , when note3 comes, i hope samsung still put 50Gb dropbox on it...
I have those 50 gb. But I prefer Box I had 50gb for free and its lifetime. I find it faster.
What happens when the two years end ? Byebye all the data you stored ?
Theres minus too and its 50gb free.

With maps, in location services turn off wireless network locating and only use gps. Maps, when network locating is on, Maps issues crazy amounts ie thousands of kernel wakelocks.
You're not lagging due to RAM you're only using half of your memory.

It was low when I took the screen shot but I've seen it go up more than 1.2g. I only have about 10 apps install from the market as of now cause I just recently got the phone and planning on rooting.

You may be using 1.2gb of memory but your note2 has 1.75gb of usable ram. The stock ROM has about 100apks that qualify as bloat. Even at stock my n2 didn't noticeably lag.

Yeah theres alot of ram left but my phone starts lacking around 1.2. I just wanted to see if someone is experiencing the same. Guess ill root and remove bloat and see what happens.

Really, I'm stock unrooted since the release date and never experience any lag. I'm hesitant to root not because of no experience is because this phone is the only phone I've used that is super smooth while still rocking stock unroot.
I uninstalled my apps first and see if its one of them.
Performed a factory reset and now the ram looks normal and no lack. Thank you both for the feedback.
I thought this was maybe worth making a topic for so we could report together what experiences are on this..

I'm surprised that this actually works! The speed all around has improved and the lag that I used to have when updating apps is gone! That lag made the phone unusable for me. Glad its not happening anymore.

Only changed the values via build prop editor a few minutes ago so need some time to determine wether it does something or not.
Do any of you know more about this ? Tried it ? Maybe a dev can give us some more insight ?

Not at all, it's just annoying to see 3 threads with moaning about 4.2.2 and every new magic buttery fix that comes weekly.

I'm trying that "fix" from some days, and do you want a true and honest opinion?
It doesn't produce any difference at all.
Probably and theoretically with that fix you should have more free ram when you opened a lots of heavy apps during a day, but it is not cause any real benefits
How people can say that with the fix you don't notice lags when installing apps? That's impossible to solve by changing heap grow limit.
On android right after the app is installed, the system generate the dex "executable" file in the dalvik cache..that is a particular "heavy" operations, as today mobile hardware, and always caused the system to lags on that occasion
Every Operating System "lags" in certain conditions, more or less. The more you use it, the more you see its limits.
