Locationservices 1.0 is eating my memory like crazy,i started with 840mb available ram and after 2 days i have 400...
One of memory managers says that locationservices take ~400mb of ram in my phone
I have disabled all location services,gps etc. and it is still happening
There is no app in my phone over 40mb and right now locationservices is on 596mb of ram!
Does anyone know the fix for that?Tnx in advance
ps. I'am on 4.3 rom...

I have been monitoring the memory usage with ATK on an unrooted stock EVO. It is showing me nothing running and 96MB free. I reboot and go into ATK and kill all the running apps (Why do I care to have the football app running?) Kill all tasks and I have close to 200MB avail. So, where did my 110 MB go through out the day?
Is anyone seeing a mem leak in Toast's rooted ROM?
Hi Guys,
DOes anyone experience the problem of the desire killing off active/background apps even though there still is 100MB of RAM left??
I'm on Leedriod 1.5 and i have autokiller installed with just "optimum" settings active. I also have process manager installed without the auto kill service activated.
Regardless of what I do and how many apps I open, my free RAM can never drop below 100MB. The phone just starts killing off the background processes at that point.
Can anyone help me figure out why this is happening?
Thanks!!
How can you blame the OS when you have an active task killer installed???
AND it isn't even a stock Desire but a rooted one, running who knows what settings.
My car drives badly after I changed the engine and put two handbrakes on... LMAO!
things like this i do not simply understand
a taskmanager: ends processes to free up ram
your question: why is my ram so high?
PLEASE tell me you see the resemblance.
What a useless topic

Autokiller is only set to kill apps when free range reaches 50mb. However, the os seems to be doing it much earlier at 100mb.
That is the reason I'm asking. Just wanted to know if by default the desire 's settings are configured that way

First of all, try removing all your task killers/process managers for a time and see what stock Android process management is doing. In addition, if you have spare parts installed, check that you haven't set process management to aggressive. Just because you've told your task killers not to start killing until there is less than 50mb free, doesn't mean that this is what they are actually doing!
IMHO, all auto task killers are a waste of time - having everything killed at 50mb free memory is just a waste of 50mb of memory, but that is beside the point!

untill recently, i thought your avalible ram could be checked by using the notification bar then quick settings then total memory which was usually at 90mb, but i just went into htc's running services app and found that it says i have 214mb of ram free??? which one is right?
You're probably seeing truly free RAM when you go to the quick settings. As in any RAM available over running processes AND cached processes. The other one is probably showing all RAM not being used by current processes (aka not counting cached programs).
Hey Guys,
I have been running this firmware for around 3 days now, I noticed it uses around 50mb more memory than the 4.0.A.2.368.
I have removed exactly the same bloatware, and have the exact same applications, usage etc
Any ideas on how to improve the available memory?
Obviously the more being used i= more battery use and that is also noticably shorter than the previous firmware I had.
Nobody have any ideas?

Seems there are more open processes in the background that's taking that memory up.
You gotta remove background services that you don't use (and that aren't vital to the phone's stability of course) if you want more free working ram and less battery drain. Static cached apps use pretty much no battery, but services do. I hacked and slashed away at my system apps until I now have no apps left that aren't vital to the phone or to me. After applying the Dalvik2cache mod and moving many user apps to SD, I have about 320MB free ram and about 185MB free system space. Seems like plenty to me, and the battery drain isn't that bad for me either now that I have barely any services running
it's called Android memory pooling, linux stuff.. the more memory used, the better your phone performs..
After closing out 29 apps with ram manager, im yielding 1.05gb out of 1.78gb total,
Im literally watching the 1.05 fluctuate to 1.06 1.10 .1.12 back to 1.05
This phone I mean is it that much more packed with system apps/data vs where I remember every other s3 and note 2 I owned had like 650-750mb used out of a total 1.78 available even after closing all apps and clearing ram.
And that was even with BLOATWARE.
I bring this up cause im getting a Low Memory notification out of nowhere?!

low memory as in RAM or low memory as in storage.
if its storage im having the same problem.
If its RAM, use something like rom toolboxes task manager to see whats running. im only using between 700-800 mb of ram, without clearing it
first off... android was designed to use Memory in much the same way linux does, (memory that isnt being used is wasted memory). Task killers actually cause more harm then good... they send a SIGKILL instead of SIGTERM. Its along the same lines as shutting your computer down every day vs just yanking the power cord out...

My only guess in regards to the warning would be a malicious [side-loaded] app trying to run an exploit... or killing running processes constantly has caused a memory leak somewhere via corrupted database/config file... or there is a bug somewhere if you are running a custom rom.
Just let the system handle your memory... it was designed [from the ground up] to be incredibly good at this.

Low memory has nothing to do with how large or small the rom is or how many apps you have in the system/app folder.
Think of memory like this, a computer can have as little as 2GB of memory modules, but people want faster
computers with a lot more RAM in the memory modules which plug into the computers motherboards.
That's why a lot of people have 8 or even 16GB of memory inside their computers to make them faster.
When your talking about how many apps there are, or how large or how many megabytes a rom takes
up in space you are not thinking of it in the proper terms, think of it as "hard drive space".
If you get a larger hard drive you will have more free space for applications, games, music, videos & a lot of other things.
Bloatware also takes up space on the sdcards just like it would on a hard drive, but none of these things use any more or
less of the available memory in your phone. (RAM)
None of these things have anything to do with your low memory notifications, there is a notification in the phone
which notifies you if your low on space on your internal and external sdcards (they are like solid state hard drives).
If you are getting low memory notifications from no where, it must be some rogue apps or
app that you installed which is misbehaving and or is not 100% compatible with your phone.
I found out Why I had lowmem
Went to file manager and checked storage space...
My twrp backups were taking up 5.86gigs of internal ya Thats a Crap ton of spce to use up on nandroids ...I think its cause all my backups had backed up /system

For future reference (after hearing your fix/reply)... you were running out of storage space (where user accessible data goes), not memory (RAM).
if you keep calling the storage space memory, your gonna keep confusing the hell out of everyone.
