Hello
I've got pretty strange issue with my phone running 4.3. Usually it works fine, fast and stable, but after some time (sometimes it's 2 days from start , sometimes it's 6 days ect.) something bad happens . Phone is more laggy and multitasking is very weak. I had this issue on crossflashed 4.2 too, I'm not sure about 4.1. BTW If it works normally settings shows around 300-200 MB of free ram but when this happens it's around 100 MB or even less. After reboot it works as it should work. Anyone got this issue? Is there any fix or I need to switch to cm?

Always my free RAM is between 100-150.
no lag at all (keeping in mind that I am using XM)
I am using clean master to get more RAM (Closing unwanted processes). there is a lot of apps available @ store
As per senior members word's, Android doesn't need a task manager, as it will close applications by your available RAM.
I have at least 350 RAM free, at all times.

That depends on installed apps, right?

Sorry for my absence xD I've forgotten about my thread.
I've given another chance for 4.3, clean install with root. Unfortunately problem still exist. I know that isn't a high end device but I've got second, even slower device that works better. Yes, I've got some ram hungry apps but only a few (facebook, messeger, swiftkey that's all). I've got only 30 very basic apps installed and I've disabled some unused by me sony apps.
Task managers.... no it's bad idea. I've got two other android devices and they work without any task killers, I never clean recent apps too.
But the most strange thing is that sometimes it can work fine for whole week and sometimes it slows down after two days.
Thanks for your replays.
Use Fly-On Mod for android 4.3 it will solve your ram management issue, added battery backup is bonus
Init.d/busybox needed

hi, everyone! i'm using the uk 3.4.3-11 rom on my defy, and i noticed, i get less and less free ram over time. when i reboot my phone and kill all apps (i use es task manager), i get about 250-270mb of ram. but over time, i get less. it went below 150mb in two days. i did not experience this on the stock eclair rom. any ideas why that is? thx in advance!

You should have seen the same in eclair. You just didn't pay enough attention then.
so does this mean this is present in all android systems? and there's no solution for this?

1)Yes this is present in all Android systems.
2)Solution : Yeah use a Task killer But!
3)Froyo + Gingerbread have their own task killers to manage RAM ,so when the device needs more RAM,the system automatically clears the sufficient ammount for whatever you're doing or going to do.
Respect
i did not know that! :O thx for the replies anyway!

i have a strange problem with w.whenever my ram crosses 318mb/351 mb.all the sounds of my phone disappers.i cant play music,video,no locking and unlocking sounds.i have to restart the phone again.this happens atleast once every day.any thoughts on this?
OK....my best guess is it's the phones way of protecting it's "core" functions. The ram usage has reached a point where there is a danger of failure of its prime functions and it is attempting to divert ram from other non essential services. First thing you've got to do is find out what's eating your ram. There are apps available that can supply this information though I don't know what they're called as I've never had to use them (sorry) Are you using a lot of apps that run in the background to bring you notifications etc? If this is the case and you don't really need the app, delete it....simples.....
There is also a setting in CM9 that allows you to turn off background data if you need to keep the apps......give it a go and see....it might be all you need to do

Other things to try.....
Keep the number of home screens to a minimum.....
Remove "Widgets" from your home screens....
Apps like Facebook, eBay, amazon, PayPal, hmv, game, email....basically any app that takes you to a website.....they ALL use ram and they will ALL restart if you close them......they can ALL be deleted and replaced by bookmarked web searches that can be pasted to your home screen....sure you won't get a notification if billy has commented on your status, or if you have an unread email, or if that item you're watching is ending soon, but if your phone works better as a result....who cares lol.......
If you want to take it further than that, root your phone (if you haven't already) and install Gemini app manager.....you can use it to prevent apps from auto running and using ram.......

yes stock rom
That'll be another reason then.....ur stock OS has all sorts of bloatware (social hub, music hub, games hub, maps.....) all of it using RAM.....another thing to watch for....3rd party launchers (go launcher + addons).....very RAM hungry....ROOT your phone and freeze the bloat.....you WILL notice a difference.....you don't even have to install a custom rom, though that WILL help too.....

Brother if you have 80+ apps on your phone,its the apps taking up all the ram,not the rom,you need to delete the ram hogs from your phone and then you will see more ram,i promise.

Im not sure what apps you have on your phone,but when you install an app,when your at the install menu,where it says install/cancel,look at the screen and it shows what kind of access the app needs,trust me,probably 90% of the apps you have on your phone needs internet access to update,get info about you for things like facebook or something and other things,so their constantly running in the background,get you a task manager and it will show all the apps that are running on your phone at the same time.

Also get you an app such as gemini that allows you to change how and when your apps launch. Just make sure you have a nand before making changes. Most apps auto launch at boot then if you kill them with a task killer they just open back up within a few moments.

Guys, is there anyway i can do to make my galaxy nexus faster or hoe to clean up more RAM By using default or old way from the device itself?
Cause i feel im not install lots of app and not running lot of them but its a lil bit annoying cause my phone run a lil bit heavy than usual even I've restart the phone already.
Please need your advance suggestion n guide. So far what ive done is close the app one by one and i notice there is no galaxy nexus. Firmware app that can kill all apps simultaneously.

Don't interfere in androids multitasking. Closing apps that were intended to run in the background is only going to slow your system down overall.
Your best bet is to either make the switch to a more streamlined custom ROM or consider starting fresh.

That's not the way Android works- it seems that you have your phone confused with a Windows PC. Killing processes to free up ram is counterintuitive and serves to slow the device down. Free ram is wasted ram in this case.

freeing ram??
ok if you insist, go to developer options, scroll to "background process", change it to 1 or 2 or 3 or 4
you can also enable "force gpu rendring"
Use v6 supercharger also its spelled how not hoe which means autocorrect got you probably which means you've been typing hoe a lot ehh?

Op, at this precise moment I have 5 home screens full of widgets, and "only" have 172MB of free RAM.
It doesn't lag, it's still snappy. And I don't kill apps. Android kernel does that for me. This isn't Froyo or Gingerbread anymore.
Fine-tune your governor settings.

How you make your android kernel all those thing for you? Honestly i still like my google galaxy nexus but its kinna annoying when i open multi task app and its lagging im thinking its because lots of history chat, text that still stored or apps cache thats stored in google galaxy nexus storage or into the device memory ram itself, im sorry, i know ghere no way storage something inside the memory ram but who knows im just speculate.

You might consider switching back to 4.1.2. As far as i have heard all Galaxy Nexus models suffer from poor memory management in de 4.2.x Android versions, often leaving with less than 50mb of free RAM. I personally have this problem and I'm about to switch back. I'm just researching which ROM to get and not lose too many functions.

How to downgrade
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
You should just factory reset and let the phone manage ram how its meant to. Having more free ram may cause a placebo effect but were not talking about windows here...used ram properly is more effecient than unused wasted RAM.
If you want to downgrade search for factory images.

Might as well try the V6 Supercharger http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418 run it using script manager from Play Store, other instructions are in the script itself.
It has made my phone quite smoother /4.2.2

Hey Hii,
Try Using the app called Greenify. Available on Play store.
Optimizes RAM and also saves battery
I think it will get you what you want !!
Hi all, I'm having an issue when I move between apps, let's say between Gmail and browser, and each time the app is having to reload. It's as though it's not being kept running whilst in the background. Not killed completely, just not staying active.
What can I do to fix this?
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Free mobile app
Pray that LG updates things. ...
Some things to try though:
- limit your widgets
- limit your services (I am looking at you Facebook!) like email, amazon, etc.
- switch to a light weight launcher (nova, apex, google now launcher - though this is not really lightweight in my experience)
- update to a newer available firmware (10L seems better in the general opinion and my experience with it so far has been positive)
Same problem..

Try lowering the minfree values. The default ones are ridiculously high. Unused ram is wasted ram.

You need root and a tweaking app that can change minfree. I use Memory Manager by JRummy, and use the 'optimal' setting.
