Using the TasKiller widget, I average around 32M and the rom is just slow as hell.... sorry Flipz, but wow.
Going back to Damage, but before I do, anybody else have this problem? I have it killing everything pretty much.
Maybe its because I'm using Sense UI again?
im sittin at more than 70m...
dunno what else you got running.
i go from 60-84 all the time......i set the memory manager to strict and im using helix launcher with no lwp, couldnt be happier
I'm using sense (sorry, Im a fan) and with task killer set to kill everything but Music (for the widget) Mobile Defense, and AutoKiller. I average 50-60 with 72MB usually free after a fresh boot and killing all tasks that start at boot. That quickly deminishes though and hovers around 50-60. With damage control, I would average 90MB after a fresh boot and auto kill, and would stay around 80.
With 3-4 programs open (one of them being the browser) I average about 35MB with fresh. However with DC I was at 50-60.
I'm using "Moderate" settings with AutoKill that came with fresh. Strict basically turned the phone into an iphone (no multitasking) I wouldn't have the browser and just about any other program running at the same time, defeats the purpose of having a multitasking phone.
The ROM is noticeably slower than damage control, however I was still having many bugs with even DC v2.05 so having a TRULY BUG FREE rom (fresh) is worth the little bit of slower performance.
I seem to agree that Fresh seems to be a more "complete" rom although they are very close.
I always just thought that Fresh's rom comes with a lot more programs (you can remove them, search). I know under Damage's I had a lot more memory, but I didn't have Sprint Football. I need to remove it, but I have been lazy so my avail. memory is under 50m usually, I haven't bothered cleaning it out just yet though.
If you go through and take out the stuff you're not using (even just sense/launcher/android home) maybe also the lock screens/clocks, you may be able to boost your memory a lot.

Having a truly bug free rom? When I am getting a text, the phone will FREEZE, and WAIT until the sound decides to play, then it will keep going.
Sometimes typing it will randomly freeze, then spit out a ton of text, then if I hit backspace, it will freeze again, erase it all, and then I have to VERY slowly type.
Its horrible. I'm sorry, but I have to go back to DC. I can't even use the phone.
Here is a good example, yesterday somebody called me, I missed the call because the phone stuck on the home screen with it ringing, finally when it popped up to answer, I hit ANSWER and it didn't do anything. Went to voice mail, I hit the missed call and it just sat there, then it flew to the call screen and then hung up right away (registered a few finger taps and decided I was hitting End Call too). Then I tried to call back, pressed the number 4 or 5 times. Finally got frustrated and threw the phone in the passenger seat. 3 minutes later it rang again and I hit the Answer button and it worked.
This is insane. God forbid I have to get an emergency call out.
Later Fresh ROM.
Wow.
I'm having a great experience with Fresh.
I have (currently) 8 apps open and I'm running 56mb Free.
No FC's at all.

Me too. Pretty sure there are far more folks who have low to no issues with this rom than there are folks who do.
With apps2sd I am running 64 megs.
Love this rom. No hitches. No glitches.
yall with task killers need to work smarter not harder and utilize the auto killer app and let it do all the killing based on the values in which android works....im on fresh 2.0d and really never dip below 70 or 80 and i dont run
a2sd and i really have no hiccups at all even running lwp...flipz him self said dont **** with a task killer thats prolly why the OP doesnt have alot of free memory
Dec 26: FAQ: Why You Shouldn’t Be Using a Task Killer with Android
And no offense taken. But you have to understand that DC and Fresh are based on the EXACT same build from Sprint. I use my own rom (obviously) and haven't experienced a single thing that you mentioned other than some keyboard lag, which is caused by the experimental keyboard that I put in.
And if you are still questioning speed then you can also check out...
Apr 3: Benchmarking Sprint 2.20.651.1 Based Roms
This is solid proof that the roms are the same. Get rid of your taskkiller, setup autokiller (which is a task killer in a different way. It controls when android does all that nifty stuff in the first link) and you'll have a better experience on every rom, whichever one you choose.
Out of curiousity flipz, what do you find has been the best setting for autokiller? I've been testing several out, just curious what you find works best.

ive noticed after a fresh install sometimes u have like 32 mb free ram.. but after a few reboots and such it levels back out up to 70 mb..

Thanks . My mindset was Agressive would kill more, so I tried that one out. I used optimum for a while, but never moderate yet. I am probably misunderstanding the differences between each setting
I'm using the Aggressive as well, but I will let my pictures speak for themselves.

Exactly.
You can't really argue about one feeling more 'complete' than another one at this point. I gave flipz the Sprint leak, we both did our own customizations but they are basically the same thing. Everything is in your head. We both use the same keyboard (modded HTC one), and a LOT of it is the same stuff, so enough arguing about which one is better/worse. They really are based off the same thing now and have the same functionality. There is nothing that will run on mine that won't run on his, or anything on his that won't run on mine.
also we all use our phones very differently and run different things in combination with others so its really almost impossible to be like oh yea mines running better than yours cause one person may be all with the social networking and all that stuff and another might just need the bare basics...bottom line flash the roms that interest you and you will know what works for YOU
My phone has been running Fresh 2.0d for a few days now and with very minor changes to the base rom, it runs very smooth and fast. After having some issues with another rom I did a wrath of god level wipe on my phone and SD card, from that point on all my FC and lag issues stopped. If nothing else works I would suggest doing something along that line, start from scratch, purge everything, remake partitions etc., "Nuke it from orbit, it's the only way to be sure".
My RAM is usually around 60-70 free, but why is my internal phone memory so low after a fresh install of Fresh2.0d? I just got into rooting, tested out a few, sticking with Fresh, but my Internal memory is around 90 MB, without any other apps installed. Something wrong with this? On this page, dcdave63, shows a picture of internal memory with 131 MB free.
I got my X10 monday, when I got it the first app that I installed is appkiller and system monitor. In the beginning, when I closed all the apps by appkiller, the system monitor said that I have 175mb of RAM. After using it for 3 days, I started to notice that my ram is going down and down... I mean it went down to 35mb. I did a factory reset and then I started installing very few apps and kept noticing my ram. No matter how many programs I keep on killing the ram seems to be going down and down.
Why is the ram going down? The phone was supose to have internal rom of 1Gb and ram of 348mb. I didn't play/install any games yet it kept on going down and down
Any ideas? Who is eating my rams?
This behavior is normal on Android. It just wants to load everything in the background. When there is not enough ram Android will kill some task by itself. It's meant to work that way:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals.html#actlife
So don't worry about your ram, even if its only 30MB available, unless the device turns really slow.
When I got this device (coming from Windows Mobile) I was very focused on the ram like you. I've used an taskkiller to kill almost everything, used an startupauditor etc. etc. However I found that these apps do more harm than good. I run the X10 bone stock now, without any killers and it still runs like a charm. I'm getting 48 hours of life out of the battery with some normal use (a few hours of music a day, browings, timescape, gps). Just enjoy the phone and don't look so much at the ram
Agreed...
I went from the hellish pits of WoeMo, and took the same approach with task killers, startup auditors, and all that absolutely necessary stuff for WoeMo...
I now run without them, and everything works like a charm - I'm inclined to think it actually works better, but I haven't done all the math yet (only went back to stock a few days ago), but I would err towards it being better without them.
If anything, I'd recommend using a task switcher, such as AppSwipe, so you can close any programs you've left open, by returning to them and pressing the Back button to close them, rather than the Home button (as I often do) which leaves them open....
i have really no choice but to use a task killer
every time when my ram drop to like 40+ or 30+mb it lags like hell
then i spend about 15s get to my task killer and press "kill"
everything fines then
Anyone used this app? I tried it and it boosted my memory from 123 mb to 180 mb.
i know "if you have free memory you're wasting it". but in my opinion this combined with advanced task killer will improve battery life a lot.
its on android market, just type memory booster
Lol I experimented with these kind of apps, my opinion is that they are pretty much pointless.
I simply tell things not to auto update and removed unused junk.
Did the trick for me.

You don't need third party apps. You have to determine which app is eating your battery life. The only thing memory booster is doing is disrupting Android's memory management processes.

if it could activate the full ram potential of the handset then it would be worth while but i dont see the point in the extra mem for app's.
Like I said I simply stop stuff auto updating and therefore save battery life as no apps are active, merely sitting in ram.

I only kill programs when I want my phone in standby because I know I won't be using it. Or with programs that can still run in the background and stay active when they shouldn't.
Other than that, don't be a frequent task killer. It's not an iPhone, it's an Android phone. As much as I loathe my Xperia X10 it's far better than an iTurd.

Way to try to prove your cool by trying to inject irrelevant crap into the discussion. Especially ****e you obviously know sweet fa about. You do realize that when you get down to the nuts and bolts the memory management is almost identical in iOS and Android? Only difference is how it's exposed to apps. My gf has my iPhone 4 now, trust me, calling it an iTurd just makes you look a bit special - and not in a good way either.
P.S. task killers made sense on phones like mt3g that were memory limited, when you went to launch a big app like gallery it popped up straight away if there was free ram - when memory was all spoken for, the system would have to kill a bunch a tasks, so it'd hang for a while before launching your app. Can't say I noticed the need for that on my X10.

It isn't the free memory that saves battery. It's the applications being "killed" that otherwise would need some battery power as they lie in the background doing things. Even sleeping applications have some "attention" from the kernel and that will drain (slightly) on the battery too. Every drip-drop counts.

And every time you want to use an app, will have to be reloaded in memory wasting more power for that task.
Anyhow, do it your way ...
The rest of the world is just stupid.
This constant debate of whether app management apps work or not is really irrelevant. Some work, some don't. Just try and find that out.
Once I listened to posters here and decided not to use ATK because of the reasoning that Android is efficient by itself. Wrong. My battery kept draining fast. Once I started using ATK and modifying the program here and there, my battery's energy consumption actually slowed down and I can go through a whole day without charging. My settings? Put ATK on safe mode and auto kill every half hour, and ignore SE's own backup app (for some reason, killing SE backup caused a disruption with the data/signal for a second).
So for everyone, just try and see whatever is recommended works.
Exactly my point. I used to use atk with similar settings to yourself and experienced greater battery drain.
I get better results with my method.
We all use our phones in different ways so it follows we would experience differing results.

I'm trying to figure out how some people drain the batteries so fast. I have my phone set up as a wifi accesspoint, I'm using bluetooth, autosyncing my gmail and calendar but still I get more than a full day use out of it. If I listen to music over a bluetooth headset constantly I can't last a day but the juice in my headset tends to run out faster.
I can't for the life of me figure out what people do. I'm not using any task killers or what have you but still get between 18 and 24 hours of heavy usage.
I was using a task killer before reading on here about how they are useless and whatnot. But I find my phone freezes up more now that I am not using it. The battery seems to be around the same. All I do is text and use facebook and it seems to freeze up when texting or typing half the time. I am kind of wondering if it's because I text so quickly..
Just to clear things up a bit:
Many applications out there are bad.
Applications that are some real heavy battery hogs, even when prefetched in the background.
Those bad applications keeps downloading adverts now and then, executing instructions while in the background, and so on. Those applications doesn't have any sleep/standby routines , or the routines are empty.
Some applications are so badly written, they're running at "full speed" no matter what. Those extremely bad applications keeps the CPU at full speed even when in standby mode.
A good sign of this is when the phone gets hot, even when not used. It's the CPU that heats up the device.
The programmers of these bad applications have no whatsoever experience with Androids "sleep and standby" functions and therefor left them empty or half-done.
This is why killing applications helps for some, and not for others.
It all depends if one got one or more "bad" applications installed.
And Android aren't too smart either. It'll just prefetch, to what it seems, a random bunch of applications.
For me Android prefetch apps I rarely use, and skips the applications I use everyday. Weird?
If one would keep the device clean and keep those bad applications out, (of which noone can tell if it's a bad app or not. There's nothing visibly wrong about them) one wouldn't need a separate task-killer. Or if EVERY single application out there where perfectly written, accordingly to the Android model.
It went from extremely rarely doing it to three or four times just the other night in the span of a few hours. I can't reproduce it on command but it happens when I lock the screen and put it in my pocket. Then sometimes when I take it out it is entirely non-responsive, even the power button doesn't work. I have to remove and reinsert the battery.
It could be ADW Launcher or WidgetLocker since those are the only two programs always running, but I was hoping someone else experiences a similar issue. It hasn't happened when I normally lock it yet though, so it could also be the proximity sensor maybe?
Having the same issue (on Bell as well), but not running either of those two apps. Was almost to the point of returning the phone and then installed JM7 and it's been better, although not perfect. Last night it locked up with NoLED displaying an icon, so I've deleted that app to see if that's the issue. It hasn't locked up today, but it did reboot a few hours ago seemingly at random. :shrug:
Your internal sd card might be failing like all the other i9000m phones I see on this forum bricking themselves .

Oh, that doesn't sound pleasant at all...
I'm outside of Bell's 30 day exchange period plus I've talked for over 30 minutes, so I'll have to go through Samsung if it completely breaks. On the plus side, a phone from them should be three button recoverable.
Although I can't be without a phone for weeks, I hope it's not the SD card.
Mine Lags like crazy once every few days till the point I need to restart it. Any idea why this is do?

Hold your horses people....
before you jump about the lag, and or one click lag fix and such
first you have to investigate what is running on your phone.
just over the weekend (since XDA was down) i stalled over 400 Apps
my phone slowed down to snail speed, then i ran my Startup Manager software (many to choose from)
I suggest Startup Cleaner 2.0 then uncheck everything, leave only the apps that you want to run during start up
reboot your phone and presto, fast as new!
if you can find version 2.1 of startup manager that one is even better
keep note, start up manager apps are not the same as task killer apps
it only run once during start up, and it helps you easily select what should and should not run during start up, so it doesn't stay in memory after it runs
on the same topic
you should also configure your Task Killer apps to kill everything, and add only the wants you want to be running to the ignore list.
that will keep the phone working smoothly even without the "one click lag fix"
i'm still running stock on my JH2 i9000m

All gamer has a good sugestion here BUT we are going to get people flaming the fact that Android shouldnt need task managers.....
Ho hum..
TBH in my experience, I have found (after a couple of hard resets) that there appears to be a size limit for installed apps. Once I get over this size limit, I get LAGTASTIC, phone slows to a snails pace, then I remove a few of the apps and I am back at light speed again....
I cant say what the limit is, but I know when I have hit it - I would then uninstall a lame app or two and get back running.
Yes a lot of people "claims" that, but yet you do a search in Android Market, you see LOTS of Task Manager / Killer apps for every phone.
they were not designed for Galaxy S, they were designed long ago for all the other phones that had and still have the same problems of memory management causing lags
Android is not robust enough to survive without one
heck not even Windows 7 or Windows Mobiles phone
I just read that possibly the phone freezes while trying to find a signal. As this problem has only recently started, and I just recently moved into university, and many buildings receive little to no wireless signal, I think it's more than a coincidence. I'll try going to plane mode before entering lecture halls and basements.

hi everyone,
i just wanna share my experience with my Samsung Galaxy S.
i have finally managed to keep the phone running with "normal phone usage" for more than 1 day
it is true that the multimedia features usage was to the minimum but still
2 Days, 16 hours and 43 minutes is an excellent number,
and still i have 15% remaining in the battery!!!
Check the screenshots below.
All what i have done is:
1- installed Voodoo lagfix
project-voodoo.org/download
2- installed Advanced Task Manager (ATM)
getandroidstuff.com/advanced-task-manager-android-download-v50/
And make sure to enable the Auto-End Running Apps features in ATM, i have used the 30 minutes frequency.
i am still unable to believe the difference that i got from this combination.
Voodoo has really fixed the lag issue and apps are running so smooth.
and with ATM installed the battery life has reached unbelievable numbers.
the installation for Voodoo was so easy and no complications, i have just used the update.zip file and it was so fast and easy.
check this yourself and tell me what you got from it.
cheers.
EDIT:
i forgot to mention that i am using ADW.Launcher instead of TWLauncher.
That's nice.
My record with light usage was 4.5 days.
In that particular case, I still had 50% after 3 days but made a lot of calls on day 4 so the battery went down quicker.
Key setting is to switch the phone to 2g when not needing 3g and also turn off the internet connection through the mobile provider and only use WIFI where available.
Very nice usage, but do you have push email active?
Congratulations abuatwan but i still think you could get longer from your battery. You say you have Advanced Task Manager running and set to start up every 30 minutes.
That costs power to start that up (as does any app) and when its killed whichever apps/processes its deemed to, if they start back up...well that's even more power lost lol
Android has its own task scheduler/killer built in and really all you are doing is battling your own system.
This will explain in much more detail, even if you don't understand everything mentioned read on and try to take in as much as possible.
http://geekfor.me/faq/you-shouldnt-be-using-a-task-killer-with-android/
I do agree though that with the galaxy, something needs to be done as it does in a way run better with a task killer (not counting the battles and power costs)
I use a free program called Auto Killer Memory Optimizer which tweaks androids built in task killer meaning you use your system as it should be
I've had mine running on 'moderate' preset setting for 2 weeks now and i wouldn't dream of installing any other task killer

The default setting for killing empty_app processes on Galaxy S is 48 MB. The moderate setting on autokiller is 40 MB, so you are actually *decreasing* the memory tolerance, making the memory management worse! I agree with you about the article, but with a strict setting you will see much better performance, try it.
My SGS keep 3 days max with normal use with disable the data connection with GSM and 3G
I do 2 days with browsing and stuff, seems my battery drains less quickly on wifi then it does with 3g or H =\ killing stuff with ATK is pretty handy as some stuff that i never use don't really mater to keep running in the background.

great,
if i can just change the default likker setings, i believe that will save lot's of battery
Definitely i will install "Auto Killer Memory Optimizer" and will try both profiles, the moderate and the strict.
Thank you
I do get this with my normal usage, 2 days and some hours - can't remember exactly. I have wifi on constantly, 3g when outside, autosync and push always on, autobrightness, no task managers or lag fixes.. Just stock JM2 :]
I have never managed to get more than a day's usage out of my phone. Today my display has been on for 1h37m and the phone has been off the charger for 5.5 hours, my battery is down to 66%.
good luck, in 3 weeks or so you'll need to do a factory reset because the SGS software/file system is a P.O.S

Ahh well that's new to me, Thank you Tyxerakias. I do wonder what else this app is tweaking then because using Super Manager memory widget i had noticed that i would get slight lag when swiping screens if the reported memory was showing around or below 70mb. The 70mb figure might be wrong as i use a lagfix but the point is that to me around 70mb showing = lag. After installing Auto Killer Memory Optimizer i would sometimes see as low as 50mb but still no lag. I got rid of the memory widget after that as it was just displaying useless info and taking up screen space.
I would be tempted to try the strict setting but my phone honestly flies on moderate and ive also heard if you set it too strict then it can end up killing off things like the clock which means your alarm will then fail.

Personally i wouldn't mind doing a factory reset if you ARE meaning for Froyo as flashing Froyo will reset it anyway...2 resets is no more loss than 1 reset if you are backed up and ready to flash

Ahh well that's new to me, Thank you Tyxerakias. I do wonder what else this app is tweaking then because using Super Manager memory widget i had noticed that i would get slight lag when swiping screens if the reported memory was showing around or below 70mb. The 70mb figure might be wrong as i use a lagfix but the point is that to me around 70mb showing = lag. After installing Auto Killer Memory Optimizer i would sometimes see as low as 50mb but still no lag. I got rid of the memory widget after that as it was just displaying useless info and taking up screen space.
I would be tempted to try the strict setting but my phone honestly flies on moderate and ive also heard if you set it too strict then it can end up killing off things like the clock which means your alarm will then fail.

lol ahh i get it now, he means the file structure in the Galaxy. Samsung chose to use their own rather than a proper linux structure and i've seen many devs also saying how it was a very bad choice.
Well i've had mine for over 2 months now and no loss of data or anything yet so its fingers crossed here lol..........i will be backing important things up as a precaution too
Yes, that app is useful and i am confident you have noticed that
I don't use a task killer, they drain the battery.
I'm pretty sure you would get the same battery usage with screen on vs. screen on and movie playing. Playing a 2h movie drained my battery for 25%, screen on for 2h was about the same so...
I just use Juice Defender ultimate just to be able to select a few features:
- Activate Data/Wifi for 5min every 2h (would be better every 4/6hours but whatever...)
- Data / Wifi off when i sleep
- Leave data/Wifi on when the screen is on
Basically, my phone only syncs / uses data when my screen is on (or every 2h just to push emails if needed)
I noticed that this really really helped me. 3G and screen on really kill your battery
