Why there is always about 790mb free ram instead of 1gb as in galaxy? how we can free more ram beyond 790mb to make it 1gb?
thx
Why would you make more free ram ? Free ram is wasted ram in android, its the way it handles it
my question is why 300mb less as s3, both are android why galaxy series give more free ram
Don't know......
Your trying to tell me that the S3 has 1gb memory available when running, your trying to say that android 4.xx is doing nothing in the background and still operating??????
Please post screen shots.

Strange, I have a S2, S3 and a Note 2, on the S2 and S3 I get about 800mb free. On the note 2 it's about 1.89GB Free.

I thought the i927/i927r where the same spec.
The Rogers Galaxy S Glide has a total of 724mb ram in the task manager instead of 1gb.
Can others confirm from either device you have?
thanx.

I have Rogers and see the same as you. I assume some is used for the OS and hidden. Agreed this does seem misleading. Try adding up the hard drive space and you do not make 8GB either as it is mentioned to have.
I see 2 Partitions:
1.97 System Storage
3.75 USB Storage.
Above info also taken from Task manager.

Same in i927 (AT&T Model) also.. 724 MB..
Remaining will be used by OS and GPU...
do you have the same HD space on AT&T that I posted above as well?

Can anyone else with the i927 AT&T Captivate Glide version confirm total ram in task manager and sizes of the sd and USB partitions ?
Thanx.
Captivate Glide - AT&T
RAM 724MB
System storage 1.97GB
USB storage 3.75GB
256MB is used for Nvidia's graphics card. It's like shared RAM on a laptop with integrated graphics.

Wow, so Phones with 512megs will only see 256? Wow! Boy am I glad I got this phone with 1024 where only 724 is available. What is the story with the Hard drive? Is the Android Operating system using that much from my 8GB?

I thought it strange too.
My Motorola Milestone 2 has 512MB RAM, but only 477MB is usable. Only a gap of 35MB disappears somewhere, not 256MB. But then it doesn't have as good a GPU, so maybe it doesnt use as much for graphics.
Its only ever got 100 to 150MB free at any time out of the 477MB.

that's because of the way the linux kernel uses RAM to buffer and cache to speed things up, otherwise the ram would be idle and wasted.
How much of the 3gb memory will be available for use? Nexus 10 announced to have 2gb, but after buying it I realized actual available memory is 1.1gb. So, the question is, will same do the same thing?
Any ideas?

Are you talking about ram?
If yes, maybe 2.3-2.5...
For example, HTC One have 2 GB of ram, but you can use 1.5.
So, we have to see when the tablet is released
The purpose of having RAM in your phone/computer etc is to increase performance. You don't increase the performance by leaving the ram free. You use it.
Free RAM is wasted RAM
i think most people here should understand that if you're not using your ram then it's wasted. but i think he wants to know how much is available to apps after the gpu and system take their share.
someone posted a screenshot in one of the threads and i thought it was somewhere around 2.3GB.

Good, 2.3 GB
However, you're right.
People didn't understand that ram will be full..
Every one will kill all process ._.
how much storage space on left on Tab Pro 16 GB out of the box ??
11gig to 12 gigs if i remember correctly, yah it's a shame that so much bloat is on tablets. But it's all good.
I plan on rooting when a root comes out that don't void warrenty and I'm removing the bloat, to free up the space.
It's not so bad right now anyway as I don't have a ton of stuff on it.

Hi all
Wondering if there is an actual noticeable difference in day to day usage between the two models? I know the bench test show marginal performance improvements for the 32GB over the 16GB model but would this be seen in every day use?
Reason I ask is that I may be swapping a 16GB model for a 32GB model but this comes with it's downsides so wondering if it's even worth it....
Forgot to say that I do know that the 32GB model also has the 3GB RAM
Thanks

i would say yes.
i have a 2gb one and my oncle a 3gb ram. my home screen always refresh when i exit a app.
and his apps open some how faster (cause they are in cache of the ram) so i would say yes. its better even in every day usage. opening apps. and switching
Hmmmm that's good to hear then. Well I have the 2gb model right now and have the 3gb one coming tomorrow... It's coming from Hong Kong though so slightly worried it will be fake!
It doesn't matter in everyday use at all...

Cheers, have seen that video before but still didn't help me . It won't cost me anything extra swapping to the 32GB model but it is a HK model so I'm a bit warey about it breaking or being fake etc.
It matters mate... Extra 1gb makes the difference aside from the additional storage...

This is interesting to know.. How exactly this 1gb makes the difference in everyday use?
Have you heard that anybody raised an issue with shortage of RAM while using G3 with KitKat or Lollipop in normal conditions?
3gb is snappier than than 2gb variant... Based on my own experience... As is without tweaks... ?
Don't no about 16gb but my 32gb 3gb ramz the dog
My 16 gb version is snappy as hell, it depends on the user too and how you tweak it.
I traded my 3gb Note 3 for the 2gb G3....I kinda regret it now because my Note 3 was nice and snappy but with the G3 I notice quite a lot of lag

Amount of RAM does not have anything with lag that you have on G3. 3GB version also have that lag sometimes.

I have a highly debloated 3gb version, with normal running i have about 500MB free ram but this can drop down to 400MB. If you only have a 2GB phone, it would be 500MB short of ram, even more on a stock rom, meaning apps get stopped to make room for new app to start up. Extra ram means more file data is stored in cache. My phone never lags
how much does it concern you that the 5X may only have 2GB of RAM according to the latest leaks?
If it becomes official will that change your mind about buying this phone?
I would still buy it but having only 2gb of ram but only if the price is right. They can forget about charging $400 for it, the current rumored specs are almost identical performance wise to a nexus 5 and those can be had for $200 used.

It's probably a deal breaker for me... A phone with 2 gb of ram is not future proof.. I would consider the 6p instead, but I hope it doesn't feel huge in the hand...
Otherwise my only hope is that the 2gb is for the lower 16 gb model only, and the 32 gb one has 3gb of ram....

I was reading the op title as "2/3rds of a GB" lol. But seriously, I'm fine with either. I want the typical smooth fluid Nexus experience. However they achieve that, whether 2 or 3 GB of RAM, I'm good with it.
what if it's $349 for 16GB and $399 for a 32GB but both 2gb ram.
is it still worth it?
People don't even know how the phone runs yet and are already calling it garbage. Lol. Oh, you people.

My usage today is usually shy of 1GB. 2GB is fine. I'm more concerned about battery life, quick charge and camera quality and speed.

A bit better yes, but not a whole lot better like the 810.
Well I know for a fact that 2gb is not enough for my usage. To be more specific, when I use something like my car Appradio, and need to run ARUnchained on Bluetooth, with Spotify and Maps, along with casting screen, the phone doesn't last more than 5 mins without either dropping the cast screen, or rebooting.
On the flip side, the OnePlus one, which has just 1gb more Ram holds a very stable screencast, so yea... To each their own, but I'm thinking they will do 16gb with 2gb Ram, or 32gb with 3gb Ram, the same as they did with the LG G3...

The Moto X Pure looks like a better option at this point. Same cpu except larger battery and screen. And 3gb ram. Although larger screen may be a deal breaker

I think if the phone turns out to have 2 gigs of RAM, I'd consider the Huawei variant.. I want that 3GB, it IS an upgrade.. Xposed is really ram hungry and I use dozens of modules.. Not to mention so many mods, custom rom w/ CM's theme engine and animation tweaks on my Nexus 5 2013, I normally have just about 235MBs of RAM remaining in average use which makes for a really laggy experience but I still live with it, judge me. So yeah, I want 3GBs of RAM.. I'm leaning towards the Nexus 6P because according to the rumors it does seem like a powerhouse compared to the LG one.. Just hope the development team is as engrossed in the 6P as it might be in the 5X .. I don't know why but something is keeping me from giving a 100% to Huawei.
I think we have nothing to worry about. There will be two versions of this phone. One will have 16gb and 2gb of ram and the other will have 32gb and 3gb of ram. The one that was outed on Amazon might be the overseas version with the lower specs. The

All will be revealed on 9/29. It's all just inaccurate speculation until then. No need to get all bent out of shape yet.
My money is on 3GB being available, though.
i'm fine with 2 variants as long as I can get 3gb or more. if not, ill have to choose a different phone myself as well.
