I'm facing insufficient ram issue when playing games like COD, PUBG. while clearing all recent app it showing 1-1.2gb RAM available. My phone is 3GB version. After reset the phone I only get max of 1.4GB only but still it going to 1gb. while playing games it get stuck several time. How to escape from this issue without root or alter os patching? Please help. My phone is indian version 3/32 model

Well I've got my g3 and after 2 days use I've noticed that with its 2gb memory it constantly uses 80% of it even on standby with no apps open. I did a factory reset and didn't install anything and it was still using 72% of the memory. Anyone else noticed this or is my phone faulty.......?

I think this is how Android works, it fills the memory then kills things it doesn't need. There's also ZRAM active in the kernel which uses roughly 25% of the memory as swap space.Heres a snippet from an article on Android RAM....
The problem is that Android uses RAM differently than, say, Windows. On Android, having your RAM nearly full is a*good*thing. It means that when you relaunch an app you've previously opened, the app launches quickly and returns to its previous state. So while Android actually uses RAM efficiently, most users see that their RAM is full and assume that's what's slowing down their phone. In reality, your CPU—which is only used by apps that are actually active—is almost always the bottleneck.

Its not so much Android as how Linux manages memory. The memory usage indicated includes memory used for cached apps and information, or swap etc. In saying that LG's version of android does use more memory than stock AOSP android on say a nexus 5 (1.2gb~ on G3 compared to around 700mb on N5)
But the rule still stands true, used ram is better than unused ram.
free ram is wasted ram.

So? What's the problem? Using RAM is good, it's what it's here for. Android will try to keep in memory as many apps as possible, and when it's full, it'll start killing old apps to free ram for new ones. Don't worry about that, it's how it's supposed to work, and Android is very good at that. You should never have to worry about killing apps yourself, and you won't see any bad performance impact because of high RAM utilization. These "task killer" apps out there (including the default one on your phone) have only one valid use case: killing an app that's not responsive, in a connection loop, or that you wish to manually reset for any other reason.
Well thanks guys for your replies. Had no idea that's how android worked. Just goes to show you learn something new everyday.
I got my new LG G4 about four weeks ago, and recently I've been getting a problem that's become more frequent. Occasionally it will being to lag - animations will shutter, and soon after, multitasking becomes unusable to the point of sometimes killing the launcher. Process stats reports "Device memory is currently Critical", but proceed to list perfectly normal stats. Memory details looks completely normal too, and "Phone memory" reports a whole 1.2 GB of RAM free. Restarting seems to fix it. I also tried disabling xposed, but I still get the problem.
Hardware: Verizon variant, Rev 1.0
Software: 5.1, VS98611A, rooted with low effort root.
i bought the zenfone 2 (4gb ram,2.3ghz)yesterday and after updating the firmware to WW-2.20.139 , some games like temple run 2 and asphalt nitro are running with lag,even at minimum graphics quality
I changed the power saver to performance but still nothing happened. Btw,i didnot try any game before updating.
please,help !
Try rebooting into Android recovery mode and clearing that cache partition.
Here is the process.

did you face the same problem?
still didnot work,i wiped the cache but still lagging
After the first update phone lagged and suffered from excessive battery drain. Wiping the cache partition cured my problem.

iam really worried, i had high hopes about this phone but all are shattered, can this be a hardware problem? or is there any fix to this problem
Same phone, no lag here. Maximum settings.
same phone and same firmware.. I don't play a lot of games, however of all the game I play, I never notice any lagging
Same phone, same update, but have lags too.
I did not have this problem when I tried CyanogenMod 12.1 on this phone, it must be the Asus firmware who has problem.
Wipe and reinstall only last firmware with a clean flash. It solved similar problems to me some time ago.

Gpu throttling
That because gpu throttling. I test with gamebench. I choose need for speed no limit. I let my phone heat up at start line and after a while. Fps and cpu temp drop. Because gpu is too hot and need to dropping gpu frequency to cool down around 457 mhz or lower. (default is 533 mhz) That's why the game lag.
The solution for gaming without (or less) gpu throttling is playing while charging or has fan blowing behind the phone. Kinda crazy but I tested and it's work for me.
pic 1: Cpu temp increase. (not throttle)
pic 2,3: Gpu throttling, cpu temp decrease, game lag and slow.
pic 4: Playing with fan blowing behind the phone. (not throttle)
anyone has any other solution fo this,please suggest !
I have this problem too try factory data reset,
Or if you unlocked install project t kernel
I gave factory reset but nothing happened , is this a hardware problem
i did some benchmarks though -
Antutu benchmark v6.0 - 62656
Basemark OS II - 1276
geekbench 3 - single - core score - 913
multi-core score - 2894
updated to the latest firmware version but still no cure
plz help !
Hello, My Moto Z2 Force model is XT1789-05 and I don't know what happened. But after the security patch of november the system memory consumption is getting too much high. Anyone else with this problem? Here's a screenshot of the consumption

You have the 6GB version so 1.9GB free is completely normal I have the 4GB version and I usually have 1.1-1.4GB free unless I open a game it'll drop to 800 MB free. Trust me your device is functioning normally don't use any of those ram cleaners it makes things worse.
Stop using the app you don't need (in the application management), then turn on the power saving optimization, and do not need the resident app, turn off the background operation (within the power saving management)
I think China's software permissions and ram are confusing, I didn't expect foreign countries to be the same.：d
Hi to everyone. I'm comming from OnePlus 5t and I don't have any experience with "Ram boost" that we have on Oneplus 7t (Settings/System)... Also I didn't find many explanations by searching (neither here on XDA nor at Google search).
So basically, how it work and is there any benefit except gaming, (and I don't use mobile for gaiming) in real life?
I can't recall is it On or Off by default?
And last but not least, how it's effect battery life?
Thank you.
From what I read, it works like windows superfetch.
When ram usage is not taxed, it will fill the free ram with apps it knows you use frequently. Presumably as with windows, it keeps them in an off state, but when you open the app, it doesn't need to load it in to ram from flash storage, so it can load much much quicker.
There won't be any battery drain.
When ram usage is needed by say a game, it'll kick these auto cached apps out.
I've been using the OP7T for close to a month. I've experienced lag while using various apps, and especially when switching between apps. Occasionally the system becomes temporarily unresponsive, and a handful of apps have crashed multiple times. My previous OP3 phone rarely lagged, even if I had tens of apps open. I've been using the RAM booster on the 7T, but today I spent some time removing and freezing apps that were consuming tens of MB of memory in the background.
personally I didn't had any glitch or lag... I didn't saw any different.
But I don't recall is it turned on or off by default.
Anyway thank you both for comments and making it more clear to.
