[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.

Is it possible to run 64gb SD Card?

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

Can't say I've noticed any change in performance vs the 32GB microSDHC I had before. Cost $160 through Amazon.
The ROM is CoreDroid - quite nice.

500 mb free but space unavailable?

I've 500 mb odd free but I am getting insufficient storage while installing apps!! Anyone else seen this issue ?
I'm on bigxie rom 1.0.2 with Franco kernel 15.2 ...though I don't think it has anything to do with them..

What the hell is that miscellaneuous thing taking up 4.11gb?
That's why you have no space.

i would expect it disabled for a mobile phone, but ext4 allows reserving space for root. On desktop systems that setting is often at 5% of availible storage. As you got root i'd try to grab enough of the start of the raw partition where /data is saved on (or all if you have the space and time) to a linux system and run dumpe2fs on the raw file to see if that's enabled. In case you can change it with tune2fs, but you'd likely need that crossbuild for android.
It this is really the cause something you used to format/wipe /data is seriously bugged though.

Not entirely sure about why its protecting you from downloading more.
But to clean up that misc folder, why don't you delete those ROM .zip's? You surely don't need them after you've flashed, why are you holding onto them? That's 356mb right there. Also look into your Clockworkmod folder for downloads that you've drone via ROM manager and don't need anymore.

that's not a reply is it. I can clean up and delete files I dont use but that's besides the point
Why is 500mb showing free if I can't install anything?

Like I said, I don't know why its preventing you from downloading more, but while you try to figure it out, you can delete unused files and download apps again...

The first thing I would do is deleting the market app's cache and data in settings > apps > all. Then boot into recovery and wipe the /cache partitition. More often than not that resolves false "out of disk space" messages.

I did the market data delete and a full cache wipe through recovery
That doesn't work ... I've also started getting storage getting low messages in notification bar
I don't understand what the heck is 500 mb available showing for, if it is unusable?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App

As seen in another thread you need to run Lucky Patcher. That fixes it.

I have this exact same issue floating around 500 meg free. Is it a set limit for other processes to be able to save stuff, eg camera pictures etc...?? Obviously if you ran it down to like 1 meg where would it save a photo?!
Coincidentally I'm on apex too.....

Avaliable Space is wrong. Need help

I know I'm a noob. I have looked over these forums for a long time. And I did use the search with little success. I even searched the mighty Google for help. But my phone shows that I only have 3.9gb free on storage in settings. And 6.7gb free in application manager. What is going on? Please see included pics.

Can you offer some more info like what Rom you are running etc?
My first suggestion is to do a full wipe and re-install the ROM. Most "quirky" errors are resolved by doing a full wipe and re-install.

Format the internal sd card and flash back to stock with odin. I had the same thing happen to me when I used that app2sd script

Some zip archive files as well as any cwm backups you may have will not show up on the internal storage reports. To get a good picture of your actual storage usage and available disk space you need disk storage analyzer app - I have seen a couple people here recommend one from the play store, I don't remember which it was though.
You can search for one or maybe someone who knows of a good one will pop in and say.

I am so sorry. Phone is 100% stock AT&T 4.0.4 not rooted or anything. I'm sorry if this stuff seems elementary, but I came from a iPhone and I did mod and jailbreak and all that to it so I know my way around apple products but this phone has been a little bit of a learning curve. I just got sick of apples subpar hardware... So I moved to android.

Ok I can accept that. But what is really the free space? It shows 12.05gb of space. I know the OS and other system type stuff is taking the other 4gb that would total the 16 of the phone. But even the math of the doesn't add up in settings/storage.

The system partitions aren't represented in the storage manager. Reason being: you can't change it. It's only showing what you have available for apps and your own files.
No ROM I've seen will show the "full" storage.

Why dont you guys understand ?
This tool only increases the size to display and not the actual memory . So it will show 4gb but you wont be able to put more than 2gb of data . Moreover This Slows the transfer rate (not sure about this one )
