Please help! I don't know why my phone is running low on ram. I'm using greenify donate and fast reboot pro but still running low on ram. Apps like browser, gangstar Vegas and rr3 always crashes! I'm so frustrated with this phone!

Try removing the bloatware if you run too many apps, will help you free some ram
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
also setting your oom values to agresive should start killing apps more
i found that ram cleaners were the cause of my lack of ram
so i stopped using them, i have also learned to delete apps i dont use
these few things should help

Check my attachment, I too have an Xperia S, and at the moment I'm running over 17 apps, you see the scroll bar on the screenshot right?? and I still have around 150mb of RAM free.. If you don't mind, can you upload a screenshot of the cached processes? It's most probably bloatware.. If you can upload the screenshot.. We can figure out what eats up your RAM so much.. and remove those bloatware.. :good:

Do you use tapatalk very often? it seems to be consuming a lot of ram.. If your phone has any apps that you don't really use, remove them.. saves up ram and space..
Do you use Tasker by any chance.. If no then you should give it a try.. It really helps you to manage majority of things all together.. Like for example: you using SetCPU for profile triggers, same thing can me done with Tasker plus it consumes less ram.. And can use greenify through it.. As it is a plugin of Tasker..

Download GREENIFY App from play store
Its an awesome app, you can hibernate downloaded apps which you dont use it oftenly
like games browser etc
Disclaimer dont hibernate messaging apps like Whatsapp, Viber wechat link etc
I am sure this will help u alot
Use Tasker to integrate other apps like SetCPU, Task killer, battery saver, etc..
It will help you a lot to increase your ram usage..

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.

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.

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.
Hi all....I'm thinking of downloading rom toolbox (lite/free version). Do any of you have any experience with this app? How do you rate it?

i rate it 5 or even more if i can . about the apps you should remove: adaway(this app has ad/porn/casino blocker), quick boot(this app has all reboot options), rootexplorer(again, this app has a replacement for this), appbak(this app has a backup option like the one in titanium backup). and many other features.
Don't forget to press the thanks button if i helped ;P

Or you could just buy it so the dev would get more money and improve it more. And just so you know, posting or encouraging people to get paid apps for free is not accepted in this forum.

The higher the screen resolution the bigger ram need to render.
For example, Xperia P have 1GB of ram. And my free ram around 400-450mb. But on Xperia Z for example, it have 2GB of ram but user report only have around 900-1000mb free ram.

EVen I have around 200MB mostly. Hoping JB will give better result!
it is normal of cource,especially if you have many apps installed..
on 4.2.2 jb (cm10.1) i ve got 359 ram and i've got 3 pages of apps...(with the pre installed ones)
I've got around 450 max if I clear on CM10. I usually don't have too many apps running. I find Facebook Maps and Fruit ninja bothering especially. But still: free RAM is wasted RAM. Low RAM doesn't slow down performance until it gets critical low levels.

Because Android caches apps in the background. More apps installed, more apps cached = lower RAM. Less installed apps, less cached apps = more RAM. Preloading apps in cache equals faster load times for apps, but Android can't know which apps you use mostly so all apps get cached(my opinion is Google apps have higher priority), thus you get lower RAM. Logic would say, uninstall all apps you don't use so only apps you need get preloaded.

Plain and Simple. How Many apps do you have installed on your Phone, Not Including System Apps
Also If you Don't Mind Listing them.
One hundred something. I don't know the exact number off the top of my head. That's what I love about the S4...so much memory that you don't have to worry about running out of space unless you install a lot of games (which I don't). Apps2SD solves that problem, too.

I guess i keep some just to see if theres updates which will make them useful; such as google keep which is begging to be integrated with google now.
But i just found an app to help with that task
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cypressworks.changelogviewer
It lets you add apps to observe for updates without having to install them. Currently i only use it to get an overview of changes to my all my installed apps since the play store sucks for that. This app shows changelogs all on one screen. It's really well made
My name is scoob and I'm a recovering appaholic... I used to download just about any app for any task i could find. I had apps on my phone that i never once used. It was like hardcore app hoarding...I used to have like 140-170 apps total, but I have since cut waaaay back. Backups used to take forever. I'm proud to say, I now only have a total of about 56

This gave me a good laugh because it hit so close to home! I had to purge my collection of useless apps I had a while back as well...
I have around 120 but lately I've been doing some app pruning and getting rid of ones that I haven't opened lately.
I probably have around 50 or so.
You guys got a lot of apps! I user to have about 40 apps, but I realized that I didnt use most of them. So now I have about 20 apps, if I urgently need an app I download them at the time.
Sometimes I keep looking for some games that I might like, but rarely find some lol

I have 302 installed, with a few gigs of free space.
I have 1562 user apps backed up with Titanium Backup though. I restore apps as I need them, so depends on how long since i've flashed a new rom.
What's the point of having a phone with a ton of free space? It's just wasted potential to me.
Usually around 50-60.
