Q-good app to tell what's eating up your RAM??? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

So I have previously installed a bad ass launcher after like 5 hours I began to notice my RAM was being used more than normal. It will be 1.4 out of my 1.75gb of ram on the phone. I deleted it hit "clear memory" and problem seemed to be gone. Until now it seems something else is chewing up my RAM and I have no idea what because I cant find an app to tell me. Looked under "application manager" to see what's up and everything seems fine there. I dont have alot of applications installed. Only 1 game COD-zombies. Can anyone help me out?

Hold down the home button, select the pie/memory icon and look at active apps.

RAM manager pro works awesome. Right away noticed difference especially on the option to play hard on memory games like real boxing.

Settings>Application Manager>Running. Shows everything that's running and eating up ram. Don't forget to click the cached process as it has its own list of things using up ram.

[Q] ICS Task Manager/Clear Memory exception list?

Hey guys, is it possible to create an exception list for the ICS Task Manager. My problem is that whenever I "clear memory" it will close my Widget Locker and I have to go in and restart it. As much as I clear memory in a day thats alot of restarting. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, I don't need recommendations for other task managers, I would like to keep it native.
You shouldn't be frequently clearing memory as is. Android isn't like a Windows Mobile phone. You're supposed to use the task manager in the event of a misbehaving app and thats pretty much it.
So it isn't necessarily a bad thing if the memory bar is full?

I never clear memory. Just use task manager to close open apps. My battery life is great and phone runs like a charm. Just my 2cents

Hold home and swipe the apps you're not using to the left or right.

No its not. Those apps are just being stored in cache. They aren't actively using battery (unless its a poorly programmed app). Android should automatically remove the ones that are idle on its own, though. Just let Android do its thing.
If you're really worried about runaway apps, use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLnpvbXV0LndhdGNoZG9nbGl0ZSJd
Its a different kind of task manager. All it does is monitor what apps are using the most CPU. ONLY kill the stuff it alerts you that are using crazy high CPU processing.

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?

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.

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.

High RAM usage

Lately I've noticed my battery life draining fast. So when I check my RAM usage its always around 1 GB at any given time. Is something wrong here? Ive removed most bloatware apps, I have no Widgets running and maybe 5 apps I downloaded. Nor am I running any live wallpaper. Just seems like a lot of RAM for not doing much with my phone..

You're going to need to provide more information. Are you stock, rooted, etc...? If rooted, what rom are you running? I haven't heard of this, so I'm not thinking it's terribly common.

Did your app actually get installed?
I've seen that message and the Space it is referring to is not storage in internal memory, but rather to the home screen(s) being fully occupied by icons.
Right right... I'm on chilly's 2.18
Its weird because this has never happened to me at all, actually I can install other apps just not power amp...
And I deleted the app and scanned for skeletons with SDMaid

I have empty home screens as well , apparently it's just poweramp

i used to get this...i think i cleared market data...did you use luckpatcher or similar app to "disable adds" then uninstalled poweramp? also if u did use luckypatcher ...just open it and clear the applied patches before reinstalling poweramp...if not the case clear dalvik and cache
Experience taught me this one. Use ur file manager to go into luckypatcher dir. Delete the max. power . blah blah part whatever power amp comes on. Reboot phone clear dalvic n cache. That's if u used luckypatcher. If not just pull battery after clearing just dalvic. I hate power amp. Gone mad way better.

Disappointing how many bugs are on the note 3.

Honestly I've spotted A LOT of bugs. Like the signature lock screen for one tends to FC. The ram also doesn't clear like it should when you "clear memory" when you restart the device it gets back to normal I suppose under 2gb of ram some times 1.5 or lower which is great but, I clear memory and ram only clears up little. Also storage. I install apps and it says I have 1.25gb left on internal when I clearly have 19gb. Is it me or is anyone else unrooted completely stock have this problem??
