Hello everyone,
While using my arc s, my free RAM memory is often displayed as 70/80 MBs. (which is shown by using equipment's default information - if i use airdroid app it shows a lower value).
Is there a way to maximize free RAM or, in other words, minimize RAM usage?

80Mb is enough for every day use.

Thanks pal,
However, It gets lower than that! Besides, are these values really reliable? Why do I get like 50% less while using AirDroid App? (Device - Ram Usage)
Thank you!

If your phone works fine...no lags. Then don't matter how much you had free ram....right. Android itself manages all like he need.

Yes I understand it, however, if I use an application for quite long time, I get white icons (for 2 or 3 seconds) when I get back to the default screen.

I can recommend you "ram manager pro"
Good apply for multitasking and gaming.
Do not use task killers and cashe cleaners.

Thanks for your suggestion mate. However, my phone isn't rooted and I guess that APP is only for rooted systems?

i think u shouldnt worry about that,all the other ram space is used to cache your application for fast opening,doesnt effect your performance if im correct..try task killer if u really want to free it..
In Android, you should only worry about free RAM when some tall dark stranger approaches you and says: "I'll give you a thousand bucks for each MB of free RAM on your phone".
Other than that, free RAM is wasted RAM, under normal circumstances.

How to get better battery stats for RR 3.1.0 + DoriManX 7.4?

Kind regards!

We already get pretty good battery life, up to 2 days with moderate usage... You're not going to get much more out of it...
I wont make t 1 day with my batgery....
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I assume you mean battery...
How do you know? What do you do with the device that will use all its power so quickly? Mine is averaging 2 days on a single charge with moderate use; there's no reason why anyone else can't manage that.
Besides, all those so called "battery saver" apps are just placebo's anyway; much like memory saver apps are.
Idk man. I tweet alot. and my 3g sucks battery... 2g isnt an option either....
I know battery savers are fake. I got no such thing like that running.
I think it is because everytime i check what apps are running, some apps are open which i didnt open myself at all...

It doesn't sound like you have any idea what the op is asking about.
Better battery stats is one of the best programs for tracking down what programs are triggering wake locks and bleeding your battery.
Using it i found a few programs which had hidden refresh settings set annoyingly high.

Currently in training mode, but kind of doubtful of it's usefulness.
I feel like the cost of keeping google location on will offset the savings if not surpass it.

I never have Google location turned on so we will see....... Just the fact that there is a training mode give me some hope plus the app being specifically for snapdragon there may be some code in the app other general battery apps lack.

You need location access enabled for the app to function. I don't know why... Normally I leave it off as well.
EDIT: Also do you freeze apps? I'm trying to figure out which ones are safe to get rid of.

none on this end. update was just released.
Not sure if this makes a difference but i am running houstonn 4.1.2
thanks for that bit of info, haha let me know if it updates again please
I am also on houston's JB build. It hasn't caused considerable battery life loss, but under BBS, it says that
ConsiaBattery (Battery Guru) has caused partial wakelocks a total of 6062 times for 1 hour and 42 minutes.
My phone has been unplugged for 14 hours 43 minutes. That's quite a bit of wakelock if you ask me
I'm getting better battery life, although I do see it using a bit up itself, it does pay for itself, so-to-speak

I only set it to learn yesterday and havent seen any change yet but am intrigued as to whether or not it will change over time..
So I always had an issue with battery life and people probably already know this but underclocking really helps. I under clocked from 1500 down to 1200 and have seen significant improvement. This may not be the best test as I was home all day so I was connected to wifi the whole time but I still think this is pretty good. Running aokp awesome audio 4.2

I never did that but i use Rom Toolbox/app manager and freeze Maps (i hardly use it and i noticed it uses alot more battery).
But the best way to conserve the battery is to just turn off the phone and don't use it at all. :

Hello guys,
I'm having issues with my battery when using the same ROM more than 2 days. I explain myself, my problem is after a complete battery cycle (from 100% to 1% then charging...) my battery drains drasticaly (look at the screenchot). I did a reboot and it dropped from 95% to 30%. It happens to me on these ROMs (Rootbox, Carbon, SlimBean, Illusion...) I use KT kernel and sometimes BMS but same result. So i dunno if the problem comes from the ROMs or the kernels... I will look further into better battery stats to see which app is causing this.
Thanks for helping and sharing your stats !

I would try a full cycle or two with the stock kernel.
Or if you want to go one step further. Backup everything, nandroid and Odin back to stock and try a full cycle on that.

You could install Wakelock detector, [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector&hl=en] maybe its some crazy thing that eating battery.
Try using intellidemand as your governor on kt kernel, i was having problems like you until I used that governor.
Hope this gets resolved

After two or three charge cycles if your battery problem persists, it's most likely an app draining your battery. Or worse yet, your battery is shot.

Take ur battery on smooth surface and rotate it does it rotate more that1080° then ur battery is problem.after reading can i suggest u something try some stock(factory) roms like from ur company provider and check and let me tell u one thing calibration works only when ur fones battery is old and it works like little bit not a great advantage of it and no battery savers actually save battery infact they are the ones to eat them and use task manager from ur system to check which app is running in background
