Already using it
Free RAM is not the issue, it's whether your phone has breathing space.
For instance, I can have 50mb free but everything runs fast because the RAM is used up by apps that I use.
However, if your RAM is being used up by background services and apps that you don't use, then it will produce occasional slow down.
In other words, free RAM is not the goal, but properly utilised RAM.
All this being said, I hope RAM management improves with ICS.
When you restart your phone, check the RAM after it fully starts up (without opening any apps). Mine is 150 used, 150 free.

I have 267MB free.. Arc S...
You on a custom ROM?
I'm running stock, rotted, so some system apps removed.
Mine has around 140MB of free ram.Try to reduce unnecessary widgets from the homescreen.
If rooted use titanium backup and move internal apps to system.
Use the integrate into ROM function. System apps have there own partition.
This might help with lag issue.

Can you explain me better please?
If you want a lot of free ram
Just install Gemini task killer and app manager ..also download fast reboot from the store
I usually get about 200 meg free ram when i reboot and about 175 free ram after 24 hours ..
I am rooted and using aniking rom ...

OK if your phone is rooted then use an app from the market which is called titanium backup.
Once installed press menu button select batch option look for option to make a backup of all 'system apps and user apps'
once the backup its complete. Look for option in batch setting 'integrate into ROM'
This will move some internal apps into the system partition of the phone, this will free up your visible internal free memory.
I have moved maps, gmail, adobe flash into rom and they run with out any issue and still update
Hope fully this will help if you are having any lag issue.

I have 100 to 150 mb free. I use icelite beta1, but i have installed ram manager free from market becouse my ram was always under 60 mb and i have experienced some lags. But now all works fine. Hope it helps
When it starts it has around 200MB of RAM, with moderate use (Browser, YouTube, maybe a game, Twitter..) around 140MB, never goes below 100.
I have Arc S, currently unrooted (bricked it once, waiting on ICS)
and I think RAM managment will be better in Ice Cream
185 ~ 165 MB

Just curious where y'all are picking these numbers from? And just how many are confusing "RAM" with "storage"?
And, don't forget, "free" (as in unused) RAM is wasted RAM. In a perfect system, you would have 0 MB of free RAM, as every bit of RAM that wasn't currently in use by an app would be used to cache data to prevent the uber-slow reads from disk.

0 ram in a perfect system? There must always be some free ram, because new opened apps need it. But je can use swap memory. I use it to, and it's boost my system. But use a good sd card when u want to use swap memory. I have a class 10 sd card, so I don't have any problems whit my swap memory. I installed a2sd and use the app a2sdGui tot set the swapines. Swapines is how much the system use the swap memory.
Swap memory is the same as virtual memory in windows. But when you only have a class 4 sd card, I don't advice you to use swap memory. And whit a2sd you also can put system apps to your sd, on a sd-ext partition. Search on XDA and you find something about it.

No, you don't need free RAM for this. RAM currently being used for Cache, marked as Inactive, or used for Buffers will either be discarded or flushed to disk, and then that newly freed RAM will be used for the new app.
In Linux (which is what's under/behind Android), there are 5 categories of memory usage:
- Active (RAM currently in use by the app)
- Inactive (RAM used by apps that aren't currently running but were recently so could be used again quickly if you run the same app again)
- Cached (RAM used by the OS to cache disk reads/writes; can be flushed to disk at any time for use by apps)
- Buffer (RAM used by the OS to buffer various things; can be discarded at any time for use by apps)
- Free (completely unused RAM just sitting there doing nothing)
In a perfect system, Free would be 0. Any available RAM would be used by apps (Active) or the OS (Cached/Buffer). And anytime an app needs RAM, it would grab it from the Cached/Buffer groups.
But je can use swap memory. I use it to, and it's boost my system. But use a good sd card when u want to use swap memory. I have a class 10 sd card, so I don't have any problems whit my swap memory.

Swap use is an indication that the system has too little (not enough) RAM for the number of apps you want to use and is really just a crutch. The less swap you use, the better the system will run.

And, again, how are you measuring "free" RAM? I'm willing to bet that what most people are measuring is not actually "Free" RAM, but what the Settings --> Applications --> Running applet shows as "free", which is really a total of Cached, Buffer, and Free (IOW, it's showing "RAM available for use by apps" and not "Free, as in wasted, RAM". Those are two very different things.)
Install a real stats/monitoring tool like Diagnosis and configure it to show "free" ("Real free memory", not "Total free memory"; the former is Free, the latter is Free+Cached+Buffers) memory, and you'll notice that it will hover around/under 5 MB most of the time. When you first power on, "Free" will be 40-80 MB. Fire up a few apps, and it will drop down to almost 0 MB. And it will hover there until you reboot the phone.
Which is exactly what it's supposed to do!
"Free" RAM is wasted RAM.

Technically, it's hard to tell the difference performance-wise. Android does it's own memory management, but also it won't hurt anyone if you try RAM tweaks and see the result for yourself.

remove facebook, yahoo, and all other apps that runs on the background,
even if you have v6, the apps still runs in the memory
no matter what ram tweak you do if you have background hog memory apps and due to the limitation of our device you shall fail

I did not quite get that you said there, but I didin't encounter a single problem due to low RAM. Of course it can be because I don't usually run a lot of apps at once.
Thx but i very loves facebook app

if you are much conscious about ram then never use and go product they are the hogger beast
check every app's ram consumption then you their alternative with less ram consumption
if you love ics keyboard, then there are 2, one uses about 10 mb and other uses about 20 mb

Well, thats true, but the RAM is meant to be cached (fully used) for quickly launching the desired application.
Best way to optimize RAM for starters is to monitor your background, cached and running processes well. First, freeze stock background running bloatware using TB. Mainly DRM content (some say it messes with ringtones and stuff but I never experienced that), wsynclmps, syncmIDs, maps (unfreeze it only when needede), software update(this really doesnt help and is waste of RAM+space), pico TTS , TTS service(these two are for voice to text conversion and are literally not much used), samsung account(is waste compared to play store), two email ones (use gmail app these dont help much), social hub , samsung push service.Choose adrenaline engine if you want multi tasking and v6 if you want more free ram.You can mix both of them but its risky and needs some scripting skills to remove the conflicts they make and highly NOT recommended.

completely agree with this one. less ram is not alway a good news in android system since it has unique RAM management. for quick acces and less RAM r/w some of app is stored in RAM's cache. SGY's default ram setting is already good enough for multitasking and gaming option. if you want a better performance in your device you don't need lesser RAM. instead of it you need a better memory and app management.
Thnks i use lessly ram now 121

That depends.... have you checked your running programs to see what's running?
This is normal and good. Free memory in itself is well just a waste.
As long there is free memory which isn't needed otherwise the kernel will try to hold already used things (loaded data, loaded apps) in memory so that they are faster available (which also means less battery use) when needed again. When a process needs memory it can drop some of this cached data.
So instead of having a lot of free memory all the time it tries to make always good use of the 2 GB.

Im a ram clearing addict I cant help myself when I see alot of ram is being used I have to hit that clear ram button. I have heared that ram in android works differently to windows and that by having programs ready in the ram its supposed to keep things running more quickly. But I find games and just the general phone feels faster when more ram is free. It must be my imagination ;-/

The more ram you get, the more the programs are using the RAM. It is normal. When you use a task killer program to kill those tasks, you will release the RAM back.
However, if you find out there are not much free RAM after you kill the tasks, then, it would be a memory leak.
Hello everyone!
I've searched all the webpages, but i couldn't find an answer, so i'll try it here!
So the problem is on my Sony Xperia S with stock rom 4.0.4.
On the Sony Xperia S, you have 1 GB ram, but 400 mb is prereserved for android, so you have 600 mb for user usage.
The strange thing is that there still is some hidden ram usage, because if you look at the screenshot, you'll see that the apps you can close in the task manager don't include the whole 600 mb, but only around 400 ~ 300 mb. I wanna know where that is used for, because 300 mb isn't much for user usage ..
Thank you in advance
ps.
sorry for my bad english !

Alright, and there's no way to stop those services?
And how long wil it take before the update arives? Because this ram issue is really affecting the way of playing games or just doing some normal web searching.. :crying:
It's normal.. I mean: everybody on Stock ROM has same usage. However, you said 300MB is not too much.. But it's not like on PCs: On Android every MB RAM free it's wasted MB. Android is managing RAM automatically, killing processes etc. in background to give another application more RAM (That's why more and more ppl argue about using task killers, which are useless in 4.0+)

That much free ram is normal. If you want more free ram, firstly don't use task killers. Secondly go to settings--->apps and force stop any apps that you have installed like Facebook etc which run in the background. If you force stop an app, it can never start on its own unless it is a system app. Thirdly, I don't know if you are rooted but if you have superuser access then just debloat your rom by deleting unnecessary apks like Music Unlimited and all other crap. If you don't know how to do all this then the best would be to just flash a custom rom as all custom roms will provide much better performance than stock.
300 - 400 Mb free ram is enough to play games... Android frees up more ram itself if its needed.

i have about 60% free , maybe about 1.5gb in use ?
Yes, after fresh boot mine shows 2,71 GB total, 1,6GB free, 0,98GB in use.
But after launching (and closing) couple of apps it should use all RAM for caching finally. You do not get it back free even after killing the app. So this number doesn't say anything. What's in the cache depends on what you have been doing so far.
Don't forget a considerable chunk of ram is used for the screen's memory. The Nexus 10 has the same screen resolution as the Tab S and it's overall free memory is reduced due to screen resolution.

1 GB is reserved for swap. Usage can be viewed with disk info app.
mine varies around 1GB free however not all the time and why i feel that 3GB of my S allows it run much better than my Pro 10.1
i really dont care about the status of free vs used etc.. UNLESS like i experience on my personal computers it becomes clear a device just needs more to function smoothly.
my example i have a Mac Mini that was running sluggish and with 4GB ram it generally had about 800MB free during my workday. i installed 8GB ram and now it generally sits at 5.7GB used all day where when it had 4GB it sat at 3.2GB used
point is the Mini wanted about 5-6GB Ram to settle in around but would run on 4GB if it had to with constant work to keep 4GB limitation working.
i find that with having a 10.1 Pro and 10.5 S that more than 2GB is needed and 3GB seems to be enough but can tell when the 1GB is missing on my Tab Pro.
Using clean master, genic and disable many Samsung applications I've reach 1,37 Gb used of 2,7 total.
No lag using games and chrome beta.
Some application is possible to disable only via the drawer.
Correction... 1,33... :silly:
I get 18xx after cleaning with task manager
