How do you guys keep your Rams low? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I am just curious on what are people doing to keep the Ram count down other than closing constantly unused apps manually.
Mine is always up there and I am constantly removing and clearing apps.
Thanks

It's all about what u got running on your phone, u know apps,games,widgets, LWP, Sometimes even some launchers suck alot of RAM. I would suggest u download greenify app from the playstore, that should help a little.

Just leave that alone, android is smart and you're just wasting battery life. Google android ram management or why not to kill apps on android, there are about 1000 posts about why not to do so anymore.

odd problem just happened

this is what just happened!
my phone was on my desk for about an hour of not using, them....my secondary phone rings and someone tells me that my phone is closed. i said, wtf? then....i pressed power button.....nothing......picked it up.....the phone WAS HOTTTTTT at the earpiece area and the camera area and it didnt want to turn on. i removed the battery, then it started and the battery was at 4% from 30% on hour ago!
what was this? anyone else with this?
You were running GPU hungry apps on the background of the phone. Don't worry, just make sure you have a ha bit of closing and deleting apps that you don't need.
i didnt start anything......and how come it was dead....and only started after pulling the battery out!?

The way I understand it is this...
Google spends a TON of money developing the Android Platform. It was orginally and continues to pride itself on multi tasking. That said they didn't just forget that programs running in the background could drain the battery. Android manages your apps perfectly and to think they would leave it up to a 3rd party software to assist the OS is a joke. App management software is bad, all bad.
More people come on here asking why their phone suddenly died, and majority of them have app management programs. Don't know if they are causing the issue, but it seems possible.
Hope that helps

Try memory booster lite. But you are better off installing the V6 Supercharger.

Its just not especially Ram Level 2.
Just hit clear memory on the Ram Tab. And kill any unnecessary apps on the active apps tab

I wish I could like the same post multiple times. So many people ask me how my Epic runs so smooth even after days of uptime and constant use. I answer "with good settings, choosing good apps, and otherwise letting Android do what it's built to do and not changing things assuming I know better".
Sent from my SPH-D700 CM9 4.0.4
so r u saying keep letting it run like poo? because what it is doing is pissing off right now
Try Memory Booster lite or the built in task killer. Just don't keep killing system apps that are going to reload anyway because that will drain your battery. Android on the miniscule amount of memory the Epic has, does not always handle memory correctly and some apps are poorly written and do not release memory and resources.

Same here. I run CM9 RC1 completely stock and let it do it's thing. I'm at 200+hrs uptime and it's still smooth as butter.

As we all know every phone and every user and every configuration is different. Marcusant and Zeinzu both of you have had more than your share of your phones acting different than the majority. It would be more helpful to suggest how to help this guy than brag about how wonderful your phone is. Makes you guys sound like someone else we know. Some phones do not clear memory well and can use help.
OP use some of my suggestions here.

How to kill apps running in background?

I have a stock s3 every time I go to kill tasks it shows 49 apps were killed... why is there so much stuff running in background is there a way to stop this without rooting this phone?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
There should be no need. Itws better imo to kill the ones that show up in running that use aldt of ram.
Without rooting? Yes.
Setting, application manager, all, then you can click on certain ones and click disable.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Before you start killing random apps you need to know what they are and why they are running. There are a couple of programs in the play store that tell you if the a problem battery wise. I do not recommend an app killer because all the programs restart eating more battery life each time the restart. Most of them are supposed to be running.
Should stop using task killers, that'll make it worse.

[Q]Is there an app or script that will clear RAM when screen goes off?

Looking for an app or script that will clear ram automatically when screen goes off. Thank you

Advanced task killer pro does that. If you're rooted, you can use greenify which pretty much does the same thing but hibernates the app as well.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
No need to do that honestly.
You'll only use up more battery clearing out the ram every time.
Android does a really good god in ram management.
Greenify is a good alternative.
It doesn't clear them off ram but it hibernates apps from running in the background that would also consume battery.

Yes it is... Unless you close it completely. Random Access Memory is that.... Places apps apps in memory to later take them out to run, which makes it a faster process rather than closing them completely and opening them again.
Greenify "hibernates" and app as in it won't run, notifications checks, automatically running, check ins or refreshing feeds to save battery, its still in ram but its not running, saving lots of battery.

[Q} Ram usage

What kind of ram usage are u guys seeing. I am constantly using 1.45 of 1.75 gb on jedi master 13. This seems high to me, is it normal?

I'm at 1.15 right now, but you got to realize that in Android unused RAM is really just a waste. With these modern phones it will keep apps in RAM to speed up launch times, response time, etc. As long as your RAM isn't so full it lags to launch new apps you're good. Android will clear space when it's needed.
