Have a quick question regarding RAM. My wife has a MyTouch Slide. After I do a soft reset she has 292 MB of memory/RAM available. After doing a soft-reset on my Vibrant, I only have 229 MB of Memory/RAM available. These results are immediately after using a app called Fast Reboot which kills all of the processes currently running on the phone. The only processes running are those needed in-order for the phone to work.
Is there a problem with the Vibrant not reporting some available memory or does it take that much more to run TouchWiz than it takes to run Sense?

That is hard to answer because they are not the same phone or even running the same firmware or even the same setup. You because you kill the tasks, doesnt mean the tasks stay killed. Most of the time if you kill a service, it will start back up automatically. Also things you have to consider is What you have on your Home scree. You wife could have no widgets on her home screen while you have 8. How many Icons are on the screen as well. Also wallpapers make a diff too. If you had time on your hands and really wanted to find out. You could factory reset both phones and JUST install fast reboot. Remove all icons from the home screen and set your wallpapers the same image then check .
Im starting to think the same thing. I rarely see over 200 free(with my current setup). I'm not sure if running ADW launcher over touchwiz causes it, but I would hope so. My phone performs well enough to where I dont need to test it, but it would be nice to know or see what would happen if we were able to run CM w/ ADW as the default launcher.
I have been wondering about the ram myself. Specs for the phone list 512 megs of ram yet I stick usually around 130m free when I hit atk. I know everyone suggests not using task killers and I wont after froyo or cm6 and I only kill user genetated programs ie ones i have opened. I read a post taking about froyo unlocking the use of all of our ram?
Sent from my Vibrant using tapatalk pro.
From what I understand, the vibrant runs on kernel 2.6.29 which does not have himem support. This means that the phone will not "see" all 512mb of ram.
The reason why people posting that Froyo/2.2 will unlock the rest is because Froyo by default runs on a kernal that is 2.6.3x which does support himem.
It's possible for a phone running 2.1 to have a newer kernel and thus access to all the ram. This may be the case for the MyTouch Slide. Can you check under "About Phone" and see what it says?
Also, even with Himem support, not all 512mb will be visable as "available". Some of it will be used by the OS and some of it is used up by the GPU from my understanding.
At this point, all we can do is wait for the official Froyo update from Samsung. I'll live vicariously through international Galaxy S users as they explore the alpha/beta release that's available and see how the bugs are squashed as we get closer to an office release. Apparently, even the early Froyo release doesn't have built in himem support or JIT activated. So we will need to wait until future revisions are available to draw any conclusion on performance increases.
Please correct me if anything I've stated is incorrect.
Above poster is dead on ... once the new updates come w/ the new kernel support the SGS will "see" the full 512MBs of RAM, as will all other 2.1 Android devices.
I just wanted to add that I don't think it matters how much free RAM you have. The Android OS manages your memory and often loads stuff you don't even need in order to cache it in case you do use it. If you're low on memory, the OS will also kill off tasks to free up memory dynamicly. Task Killers are usually a waste since the OS is already doing this for you. The only way it's really useful is if you autokill apps that you almost never use, but the OS *knows* how much you use it and would kill that app first if it needed memory anyways.
Free ram is wasted ram...

Yes.
It was more critical on the Hero, where memory was more limited.
On the EVO, in this less limited setup. I still use it. It eliminates any lag in loading newly selected apps. It does cause Android OS to exercise its memory loading algorithm since all autokiller memory .. does is load different values for the OS to implement.

See thats my issue because sometimes it kills apps that are still active. Like twitter. It kills it and then i have to login again. It just changes the way android handles background apps.
But im beginning to suspect that it messes with the kernels. Hence i deleted it and enabled the long press to kill app on cm 7.

If a background app isnt using the cpu and you have available memory what's the point of killing an app?

Except that Autokiller isn't a "task killer" per se. Not in the sense that they're typically thought of anyway. It allows you to adjust the threshold at which Android's built-in method kills apps. It's a tiered system. You can also adjust them with adb or terminal, but this basically provides a simpler GUI for achieving the same results. I use Autokiller, and it does seem to help speed things up a bit.
Say what you will, but my rooted EVO running 2.2 slows down at times and I open Task Killer only to find a dozen apps running, most of which I had not been using. After killing these apps, my phone is back to it's normal speed. I am not convinced 2.2 closes apps any better than 2.1 did.

And that's fine. Nobody needs to convince you otherwise. You have every right to kill apps whenever you want. Nobody's stopping you. I wouldn't recommend it, but I'm not going to come to your house and stop you. LOL.
Those dozen apps aren't "running". Not in the foreground anyway. Android has a tiered system to killing apps. A hierarchy if you will. Apps run in the background, setting themselves up for when they are "called upon", sort of like a cache. OK, not quite, but I said sort of . By killing those off, and then having them start again on their own, it actually uses more battery, when leaving them dormant in the background doesn't really harm anything.
I'm oversimplifying it here for the sake of easy digestion. Again, I'm not here to "convince" you, as choice is a good thing. But knowledge before making that choice is make that choice better. Read up on how Android works. It's quite interesting.
I've got a Samsung Epic that's completely stock running Gingerbread EI22. The problem I'm running into is that after the phone's been booted up for say 12 hours with normal use, there will be media playback issues. YouTube will be real choppy and the stock voicemail app will give me an error message when I try to play a voicemail file.
When this is happening, my available RAM will show something around 30mb available vs. 182mb on startup, so I'm thinking something's eating up all my memory. The running processes don't add up to the amount of RAM that's being used, so I could just not understand what that number means.
I've tried a hard reset and reloading the OS via ODIN, and the same problems persist.
If anyone would be willing to provide some insight on how to diagnose this issue, that would be helpful. Thank you.
I don't think it very normal but I know that after not rebooting your phone system apps collect cache the consume the ram and starve other apps for it. I do know that I've heard bad sd cards cause the issue as well for whatever reason that may be but that could be a soulution another would be to root and flash a custom rom and kernel.

Running apps is not telling you the whole story. Get something like Memory Booster Lite, look at the task killer and see what is really using up your memory. You may choose to uninstall or freeze some of the memory vampires.
i am having a memory leak also, but i got it after i flashed marcusant revival v1 and samurai assassin kernel. I have read through that whole thread and i appear to be the only one with that problem with this combo. I did not have it on acs ics 5.5, which is basically the same rom. I can't post on that thread yet.(not enough posts) I have checked apps running thru task manager and running services and nothing seems out of the ordinary. or nothing that didn't run on the other rom. is there another way to track down a ram leak?
Doesn't revival rom have the 10 lockmod in it? If not its definetly not the kernel try updating to 3.3 if you haven't already.
Sent from my OG Epic
It does, but i put it on acs ics. Maybe my phone just doesnt care much for this rom. I did flash 3.3 because i saw that so many people liked it over 2.0.6.
Thanks again for your suggestions

I'm kind of getting sluggish performance on mine, but only after installing certain applications--even though, I didn't install that many...
Has anyone gotten slow performance on theirs? If so, what was the culprit?
I've never had sluggish performance on this phone :\
I hear of small handfuls of people who do, and don't know what to tell them.
The slowness is caused by bloatware mostly, in my opinion. Rooting is a must for me, never been happier with any phone until I've rooted and removed excess pre-installed apps. Background services of any kind will also bog your phone down. Once my PLAY was optimized, it got WAY faster
Fast at 1GHz. Faster at 1.6. Could be a bit faster sure, but its fine as it is
Slow.
I deleted all the bloatware. Have Ram Manager installed and still slow. I don't know what's wrong.
Do you guys have animations enabled?
Fast. Rooted, OCed, .64 firmware. I'm not waiting for much of anything on this thing.

Yep, All Animations.
I really wish I knew what to tell people too. I do have it upgraded to 2.3.4, rooted, ADB setInstallLocation optimized and de-bloated, but aside from that I haven't even gone as far as to continue my tradition of slamming Chainfire 3D on everything. And it was smooth even back on 2.3.3 when I was up to my knees in bloatware.
SD card class maybe?? I've heard stories that, while higher class cards are usually good, they result in sluggish performance on smartphones.
Mine is pretty fast as it stands.
I have a task killer app and just installed 2.3.4 on my R800at.
I get a freeze up every now and then but usually only when I forget to kill some apps before loading something. But the homescreen is usually always fast, even when I only have 44mb of ram left.
Task killing+removing bloatware is a definite way to increase performance. Im not overclocked at all and dont have any problems.

Flashtool and the generic 2.3.4 firmware. Theres a thread for it in the development forum but it's pretty buried. I feel like a lot of folks miss it because of that. It's pretty easy. No unlocked bootloader needed.
And it definitely speeds up the device. For sure.

Task killing is in the long run slowing you down and the worst thing you can do. Let Android handle it, give it a week to learn the programs and your patterns and I guarantee it will be better than when you do it. There have been many articles on this.

This makes no sense whatsoever. But from you I'm not surprised.
As for the OP, I would call it medium. It can be fast when running certain games and programs. It can be slow other times, like when your Message box has a lot of messages, or you're playing a poorly coded game like NOVA 2 which has all sorts of slowdowns. Mine is bone stock with a Class 4 Sandisk card.
Use Task Killer wisely.
My xperia Play(default everything) is only slow when i have Emulators or Youtube in the backround.
When you are Using task Killer DO NOT Kill Apps that you use alot or Apps That you will be using a little while later.
As this will only take more battery as the apps have to boot up again
instead of having it in the back round.
I bought the play thinking it would be better than my last phone ( htc desire ). I thought sense was bloaty but have to say the play has been disappointing. It handles apps and games as well if not slightly better but its the home screen and widgets that seem to lag. I rooted and tried different launchers and have found go launcher best at giving the most features and widgets without lag.
Hi guys. I have been on android since 2011 and ever since I have been modding my phones and devices. One thing I found out is that when you pack your device full of goodies and games and apps, your device can start to get laggy and the battery drains faster.
As for the Galaxy tab 3 I saw that it gets quite laggy when some apps are installed....
Here's what I do to manage and Maintain my tab:
Battery life:
1.) The number 1 thing I do when I unbox and setup my device is install Battery Doctor.
-This app I found charges your device in a certain way to prolong battery survival and it does it in 3 steps.
-This app also has modes that you can turn on that you can customise to a setting of your desire.... it comes with 3 as standard. Extreme mode and super saving mode helps a lot when your not using it for a while.
- Lastly it has optional widgets that you can put on home screen that optimises the battery, cleans apps/cache.
2.) Another one that you may find as useful is MobileCare. This app has a battery saving mode, App manager and Task killer if your are looking at JUST battery. This app offers a much simpler way to reduce battery drainage from the click of a switch power saver mode is enabled.
Performance Enhancing Apps
So to have optimum performance without rooting your device or overclocking here is what I use:
1.) MobileCare - As well as battery saving there a few other tweaks it has that I didn't mention above....
-Game Speeder- this basically give you a choice of the app you wish to run and it will basically optimise the app/game for you so it runs as smooth as possible.
- It also has a built in Antivirus/Anti-theft feature which also speeds and improves performance if there are viruses or ads slowing you down.
- Task killer- this app basically kills all apps and processes so the ram is nice and fresh.....1gb RAM can get packed sometimes.
2.) Memory Booster- This apps really helps as well.
-It features a Quick boost mode when you just want free space and instant performance.
-It also shows proof of it working in the form of a monitor and a diagram showing ram before and after.
-This app also features its own task killer and a boost log.
-This app is really useful because it comes with some really nice small compact widgets that you can do the quick boost function and task killer from a simple tap on the home screen instead of actually opening the APP itself.
Please feel free to add on to this list....I wrote these because they were the most efficient in terms of being able to use them seemlessly.
This thread is ideal for those who havn't got root access and want to maintain their tab 3's.
I will upload links Shortly.
edit-----I know the Task Killer mentioned dosnt kill ALL the apps and processes. However the point of that app is to close all of apps and processes that wouldnt harm your system if they were closed, so you have you normal open apps that need to be closed and then some background apps and clears cache etc.
Not bad, but rooting is so easy and you get much more control.

I use juice defender ultimate and du battery saver pro. Best battery saving app. The best contributor is lux auto brightness( paid version). Brightness is very crucial for saving battery. Ex. At night our tabs tend to be more brighter. You can even set the brightness for any light level your in.

Task killers are useless and in fact do more harm than good. Android is quite good at managing its own memory and doesn't need the help. Task killers tend to stay in memory which defeats the purpose, and 99.9% of the time the tasks they kill automatically restart anyway. They are not at all necessary and should be avoided.

I do and also dont agree having task killer why? They dont kill every single app u wanted and thus free only 5MBs of ram. Most apps like Advance Task Killer do the job well but the app itself takes the memory which makes it a disadvantage having a third party app task killer but then they do free up memory very well. Until now I havent found an app which has very less ram consumption and frees up memory very well.

so laggy
Hi guys, I just got the tab 3 8.0, and I like most part of it but the performance is seriously bad..I have restored ask my apps from Google server and while running apps and switching between them, I can't take all the lags it has. I just got it today so I can return it if I want but I'm wondering if rooting this device actually gains much performance improvements. I used to have a galaxy s2x, which has a similar if not worse spec than this tablet, and I don't know if I was running rooted version of touchwiz or not but the performance was pretty good. This tablet is much worse. A simple reboot fixes the lag but after a few hours, as I use it, I notice the stutters while using it. I just had a serious lag in Google plus app, it was stuttering so bad, but it came back to smooth after 5 seconds.
So installing the custom Rom available for tab 3 8.0 improve the performance significantly? I know there are not many ROMs for tab 3 8.0, so any user of this device just rooted the tab and tweak it themselves to gain performance improvements? Not just little bit, but a lot.
Thanks!

Mine is not laggy in the slightest, in fact it's quite zippy. Instead of blaming the device, look at your apps. It's possible one of them is the culprit. If a reboot helps, it sounds like you have too much stuff loaded in memory. How much free space do you have?
I know what you guys mean...... I know they dont kill all the apps....BUT it still makes a difference.....even if it kills off 200mb of cache and apps.... It makes a dramatic improvement to performance if you are running on a a stock rom! Not all of the task killers work as effectively as eachother I admit but some apps are really good for a quick time boost
I'll chime in. I always read that task killers are useless, because Android inherently does a good job of managing memory or what not. I personally dislike Android's autokiller; the more RAM you have the more it will work non-obtrusively, but it generally has a tendency to kill apps I don't want killed, when they don't need to be killed, and it does nothing at times to kill apps I don't want running.
What I do is I use Minfree Manager (I run it manually on boot, I'm sure there's a file somewhere you can edit which makes the app unnecessary)) to tweak the auto-killer, such that it doesn't kill apps except when absolutely necessary. My previous phablet, I used ZDBox to kill non-whitelisted apps every time I turned the screen on (and I manually killed whitelisted apps when applicable). This worked well and I only have good things to say about ZDBox, the older version was very lightweight and easy to use. Unfortunately ZDBox's task killer is incompatible with the Galaxy Tab 3 (at least my T211).
Thus far with the T211 I have been using Super Manager to kill non-whitelisted apps (like Google Play Services, etc) on standby. I am not sure whether it kills them, it only claims to "clean memory." Yes, they all start back up and memory usage increases quickly once again relative to the blacklisted apps, but this still prevents these apps from running non-stop and accumulating RAM usage, and even if that is meaningless, it at least serves a purpose by flashing a note in my status bar every time I toggle my screen on and off, regarding how much free RAM I have and how many apps are running. Yes the service runs in memory constantly, but that can't possibly be causing a problem because everything is fairly speedy.

I know what that guy means though..... I was running stock rom with stock kernal on my 7.0 and it was fine until I started downloading apps for it....It got to a point where no matter how much I overclock to performance it would still lagg even when i closed all my apps.
However I downloaded a custom rom with all these tweaks and now im running those same apps I had before running as sweat as a nut without even overclocking.:silly:
Hi mate, you are using my ROM, right?
I just quote, so other users get to know RocketTab as well...
And I'm still working on further improvements...
My Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 runs great from stock, but since rooting and using arshull's kernel (latest release) with the addition of trickster mod app, I am getting super snappy performance! With the ability to tweak cpu and gpu settings and build.prop tweaks I couldn't be happier. Battery life is good and I am a heavy user and lag is nonexistent in games, even some of the heavy duty ones.
BtW, a big thanks to arshull for his development with the GTab 3 8.0, and this forum and all its contributors! :good:

well keep in mind the 8.0 has an extra .50 of RAM. So that does effect the performance. I'm having the same issue. I have the S3 with 1.5 of RAM and never have any issues with lagging or apps running out of memory. Im wondering the same thing as the OP if a root would benefit this tablet in the way of performance.
If anyone has a 10.1 that they have rooted could you post any results or performance improvements that you saw from it?
