[Q] Is my RAM usage 387/784MB normal?

I'm assuming some is being used by the OS

Part of the ram is reserved for the gpu in every android phone

How much RAM are you showing?
my phone says I have 784mb of ram, I thought we were supposed to have 1GB. Can you guys check your phone please?
I checked in manage applications and using Elixir.

You're always using ram,so you'll never see 1gb free because processes and apps are using it.

On another bubble bursting note, the International & AT&T Galaxy S IIs, both show 837MB of RAM.

Isn't some of the RAM allocated to the GPU? The Adreno 220 might require more RAM relative to the Mali as doesn't the Mali have its own dedicated RAM?
Just wondering.

Here's my info

Mine also shows 784mb. I think its all that Tmobile bloatware. I hear most of them are installed as part of the system so they are all taking up that RAM. It should be around 830 shouldn't it? if root is available this should be fixed right?

Yes with root it will help bump up ram, but we will not get full access to the advertised 1gb of ram.

of course thats a given. that unavailable amount is used by the GPU & system correct?

784 here too. On a side note, I found something running called "tethering manager" & "wi-fi sharing manager", so maybe they're whats stopping people from tethering freely.

Yes, your correct. Android OS is built to multitask so the system has many different apps running in the background at all times to help certain system apps to loud up immediately etc.

The international and AT&T's Galaxy SII don't have all that crap on their phone. Ours has so much bloatware that's using the RAM that's why we're at 784. If you remove all the crapware that T-mobile put you'll get 837 too.

Mine shows 1.932GB of system storage.

RAM amount
Can someone with Terminal installed or adb shell access on their GSII tell me the amount of total RAM reported by the "free" command?
Thanks!

Greetings:
I wonder if my ram usage is normal. I currently have 387 / 784MB. It occupies more than 50% even though I don't have any active application running. Why is that? What do you have?
Thanks.

Yep, that's what I'm seeing as well.

OK so good on you for making the video. But wouldn't it have been just as easy to do a quick write up on the steps in stead of filming a video....that you can't see what your doing anyway....then have to go back and edit the description of the video to list the steps? Seems a bit much to me....

Ha its one thing reading it but its another thing seeing it as well. If I were to just explain it I would have liked to have have screens of the process as well because the visual clarification is always nice for first time rom flashers hence the video...god didn't realise I would encounter this much heat ...hope to god this community isn't changing into a more apple orientated user base. Its intended to help not be analysed to this degree...does it misinform people, no, does it do what it states, yes. As you can see from peoples comments already that it has helped a few users and started them on their journey. That's all I want to say about this

Don't even start with Odin go directly for Heimdall. It's far better. Odin is a piece of junk. Just my opinion.

Dunno about restore but fastboot oem unlock works to unlock the bootloader.

So fastboot mode is vol up + vol down + power
Download mode is vol down + power
What's recovery mode?

Volume up would sound logical.

Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk

I got my 4.0 aftet doing this.
First delete the threads like when will we get ics if you started a thread
Second do a factory reset.
Third pull out the battery.
4th put the phone and battery in the desk drawer.
5th dont touch the phone for 3months from now on
6th then u can put the battery back in and you should receive an ota or check xda. If you didnt get it repeat the process.
its important not to use the phone in that period of time because the phone knows if u created a thread or not. If you did created the thread and dont follow this procedure the phone will go back to cupcake(1.6) and lock him self up with some hardcore bootloader that u can never root it. And the phone will overvolt your phonw by 4times and underclock the phone to 400mhz and use only single core.
And cut the ram and memory by 1/4. So careful if you dont want to end up with 400mhz overvolted 256 mb ram 4gb phone. Oh and one more thing. It will only do 2g and no wifi.
Ics update or ****ty phone. Your choice

From my understanding the inc2 and majority of today's "smartphones" can only access up to 32gb of external memory. I have yet to see a 64gb card installed in any phone.
I could be absolutely wrong in my assumption.
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium

Did a quick research and found out that anything above 32gb would be classified as a SDXC card which would not be read by current smartphones.

plenty of music (32gb alone), movies, videos etc.... I have Google Music, but I would also like the option of not having to stream online to listen to my music.

Just installed the 64GB microSDXC card from SanDisk and it works just fine. Formatted the card in the phone and copied all my stuff (music, pictures, etc.) over. Only problem I've run into was Astro FC, but a quick reinstall fixed that. Sure is nice to have a room for more ROM backups now.

Is it reading your full amount of memory also can screenshot the memory usage screen I would love to see it say 64
