WTF is going on , this is my gf phone ,this is a stock rom 4.1.3. , I figured that wifi was setting correctly but am unsure , I'm a Samsung man myself , also how do do you get into recovery on the g2 ?
My phone is a custom.avatar rom with trwp was wondering if rooting and going custom recovery would be worth it on this phone ?

I'm confused... This phones on 4.2.2 and since when is 200 megabytes considered a lot? And what bandwidth you talking about?

Well maybe that's how lg operates I don't know my phone is on 24 hours day an android is about 1.2 mb , google+ is 1mb , my screen takes up maybe more in 10 days mines at about 60mb and I don't waste time on youtube, games or netflicks , wondering why android is using that many megs?

Nice but can u ask you are you using it. Like playing games, YouTube, or anything like this or are you just letting it sit there?

games eat battery pretty fast
even with a custom rom that has great battery efficiency i dont think that u can beat that.. if ur gaming for a few hours and youtubeing, calling, etc then the best youu can do is make sure that ur screens brightness isnt too high, and every time u exit an app/game make sure that the program stops ( u could use a task killer but i jus pop a shortcut to manage applicattions on my homescreen and force stop it myself)
with reaallyyy heavy use if u make it to the end of the day ur lucky.. just charge it every night
Lol yeah. I play a lot of 3d games and YouTube whenever I can and I'm always texting so Lol. I guess that's good

ya i was using it a bit today
some google maps when i was out earlier, light surfing, lots of sms, twitter, downloaded a couple apps
O ok. Cuz I'm a heavy user but I suppose if it lasts that long while playing games like gangstar,al avatar, and modern combat it's not so bad lol. But I will definitely give your suggestion a go. I mean what can go wrong

App partition and it is a waste!

Okay so it seems like a wwaste to me since you guys know I probably have the most apps counting at 477 user apps and it seems like a waste that nobody has this many and uses the 2gb I have 500mb left and I could sure use those.
How many apps do you have and space left?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
I have about 60 apps that I restore on a new build... anything above that, I consider wasted finger flicks/time.
I dont dont have that many, but I use about 500mb, so I have alot of app space left, and the number of apps I use gets lower and lower each flash lol
Have between 50 and 60. Don't need anymore than that.
I have 102. Restoring is so fun... :/

No issue at all if you have the paid version of Titanium Backup... best purchase everzzzzz
I have 76 apps (less if I uninstall the ones I don't use), with 1.6GB free. Waste of space indeed.
Just have bank of America and MLB 2011. That's it. Oh, root explorer and xda premium. The rest are system apps that are part of malice. 51 total between market apps and system apps.

123 currently loaded in app drawer = I do not have the Amazon Freebies in there and have not re-installed my 3 Angry Bird versions
Yeah I have 128 in app drawer. Of course some of those are stock apps but I have deleted about 10 stock apps too. I have easily purchased over $100 in apps and there are about 20 that aren't even installed anymore, but just sit in my Market as purchased.
I have 71 total apps
Sent from my Evo Killer using XDA Premium App
I think I'm an appaholic. My market history shows 154 downloads, and the Amazon appstore shows another 95 (most just free apps of the day I tried out). The "ALL" catalog on my ADW shows 16 windows of 4 x 4 apps (for 256 installed apps, many of which are system apps).
In my defense, a lot of these are games (most for my kids, but some that I like). I also try out a lot of apps, and those that can be moved to the SD card I just leave on there. I definitely have a lot that I stumbled upon, thought "oh, this would be great to have," and then have never used.
I have 181 apps on my apps drawer. I have some apps on sd card cause o don't have enough room on my phone for them all

I have around 950mb now.
Used to be 1100-1150 before the update.
I clean chach every day, got task killer, and clean master.
Mostly usage is youtube, internet ( stock browser), and music player.
So its mostly likely that the update caused about 200mb less

Samsung s4 android 4.3 does have a lot of lag time to time. after about 6 weeks I got sick of it and flashed the i9505G rom.
Used the Samsung s2 and S3 and they was no lag.
only thing I dont like about the i9505 rom is that it dont save pictures to the sd card.
Got a new update........
Fone seems more smooth now.
Anybody noticed this..???

No I hadn't noticed anything just less usage of ram than previous..

Is this normal RAM usage?

Hello,
I just got my T-Mobile G2 a couple of days ago. I don't have a lot of experience yet but I'm curious if this is the normal RAM usage vs availability. If so do you have any problems running high end games, apps, etc? I am presently on 4.4.2. I have used Titanium Backup to freeze a lot of system apps. This just seems like it could be an issue. I also use Greenify to hibernate some apps as well. Any thoughts on this?
Sent from my LG-D801 using xda app-developers app
I would love to get an expert answer on this. I recently changed it PAC Man Rom and now it appears I have even less available memory. I'm not noticing any lag or anything but it just bugs me. I added up everything cached and running and it totalled like 364mb not even half a gig of ram. This phone has 2GB of ram. So I dunno just seems weird to me. I guess as long as it's not all laggy then that's what matters.

Yes that's normal use I usually have around 300-400 mb ram and another note that everyone makes unused ram is useless ram

I guess my confusion is what happens if I've got 400 mb of ram and I go to play GTA San Andreas... Lol. Will it pull it off? Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Yeah, the more RAM used the better. I'm using PA3.99RC2 with a kernel (I forget where I got it; just says d800 custom 5 cm) that doesn't use enough RAM. I always have 700-800MB free. I don't know what sysctl changes I can make to increase RAM use. I hope my phone isn't using a swap on its slow mobile phone NAND .
You can use Greenify which now doesn't require root. You can disable apps/system apps running on background that you don't use.
