Hey guys.... There has been a serious decrease in battery power and also the phone uses about 2Gb ram almost all the time. .. & I don't have that much apps installed... is my phone a faulty one or is this the case with everyone... Is it a software problem...Please reply
Mines Note 3 N9000 Exynos version
On reboot you should have about .9 - 1.1 used depending on apps. After a day or use without clearing the memory ~2gb is normal. As for the battery problems there are many threads regarding battery life. Do a search you may be able to identify your problem.

Ram is there to be used not to be free. so it's not a problem don't worry. it keeps some apps in ram so when you open it it opens fast.
And I recommend you not to use ram cleaner apps. when there's not enough ram LMK will kill some apps so don't worry about ram,
About battery life, yeah it sucks after MJ7 update. I think they fixed it in ML1 update. if you don't want to install custom roms wait till you get the update.
But now I'm on CRISKELO-Rom NOTE III-N900 V05 + halaszk-UNIVERSAL5420 kernel and my battery is good.
also, CRISKELO-Rom is optimized and have more free memory, the developer removed some bloatwares.

Can anyone of you download advance task killer from the android market/Google Play. Download and could you check how many memory do you have? When I bought my note, I had only 40% of memory available on my phone, which means about 800 MB, and I couldn't take advantage the rest of the 2+GB memory because phone has couple hundred apps preinstalled... Now I started clearing and un installing all these unnecessary apps and now I have about 1.6 GB memory available on my phone, and as a result of that I was able to get two days battery every day. Basically I can't finish my battery in one day regardless of the usage, which is really good....

Zip aligning the apps should give you more RAM as well. but yeah, hibernating with greenify and freezing apps really cleans the used RAM footprint up and gives you much improved battery.

Don't worry about it, in Android free memory is wasted memory. This is how the sistem works... and it works well.

That's true to an extent. However when you have apps sitting in the memory using it all up then other apps will be automatically killed and this will cause redraws and extra time loading the app again. This happened on the 2gb version of the G3 which had a lot of launcher redraws because of all the bloatware. It's still best to get rid of bloatware so it doesn't reside in the RAM and cause apps you actually use to get killed.

My freshly restarted note 4 shows 2.1 used out of available 2.7. There is an extreme amount of bloat and note specific apps running in TW that cannot be easily killed if at all.

Antutu widget has the memory cleaner. I use only before games like Galaxy on Fire 2 HD, or if I run a benchmark. But debloated android you should leave alone memory unless you need many ram for specific app. Cleaning memory will consume your battery as CPU work harder reloading everything.
Note 4 debloated has much memory requirments. Android design handles that and it works good debloated. Android RAM is never should be in your mind as it works on PC.

"Cleaning memory will consume your battery as CPU work harder reloading everything" Actually my experience tells me different than what you're saying. When I bought my note 4 my battery was very bad, I could't use it even one day, but now and after I compulutely removed all bul..... apps my phone gives me Two days normal usage or a day of crazy usage.......

That is so good. I am receiving 24 hour but with 1x mobile here in Phillipines that is good. Very much demand user I am being. Note 3 I only have 12 hour.
But I am referring to cleaning memory on debloated the device. On bloated device cleaning memory is helpful
Note 3 Lollipop Ram Usage is very high without using any apps any soulotion ?
How much is your RAM usage?
Mine is 1.57GB/2.74GB with 2 active apps, Internet and WeChat.
Seems high..sometimes it goes around 2.1GB, but still it is liquid smooth and I don't see any stutters..
Better disable some apps you don't need and use greenify..
Honestly I have never noticed what was the RAM usage on KitKat, so I can't say that whether its higher in LP or not.
Just checked, when four apps are open (depends on what apps though) its around 1.94 GB out of 2.74 GB.
I notice after back from work about half day, with heavy usage but still I check the RAM only used about 1,5 GB to 2 GB, but the phone performance become sluggish, I watched using mx player or BSplayer the frame rate is horrible when I play the game I have noticeable lag. I don't know what is the causes because my old note 2 is never have a problem like this.
My note 3 still using latest 4.4.2 update and note 3 type SM-N900, unroot, no heating problem,no battery problem.
Any advice?
Backup data and factory reset.
Check your process stats in developers options to see if anything has been using more processing power than it should.
You shouldnt worry about ram, android is pretty efficient with managing this.
The most resource hungry are FB, and yeah 75% most of the time is facebooking. But it shouldn't causes that problem. Like the RAM is full while I check still normal. Note 3 ram is unoptimized than note 2? I curious as hell.
I even conclude if I often uploading image and often scroll down and you know when scrool down it's need processing power, while note 3 is fast but maybe takes too much RAM while note 2 slower hence don't eat too much ram.
Tried clearing the RAM when it happens? Long press home, hit the pie graph, clear the RAM.
Yes, 'RAM management' , etcetera etcetera. Rubbish. Android doesn't close apps, it leaves them running in the background. Those still use RAM when you're not using them, which slows down the device.
Clearly the RAM when the device starts lagging has solved lag and slowdowns for years.

Hi,
About three months ago, i updated my SM-G900H Galaxy S5 from kitkat to Lollipop.
after this upgrade my phone battery drains faster than before.
secondly, whenever i see 70% of RAM remains in use.
even after killing all app processes i get only 300-350mb of free ram.
When i try to upload pics on facebook through fb app most of the time phone gets held and after sometime it asks to wait or close the process.
before this update i was getting 6 hours of active 3G use.
but now i am getting 5 hours of 3G internet useage.
What should i do?
my phone is not rooted.
i am thinking to go back to kitkat.
please give your opinion or solution if possible.
Thanks,
Factory reset
how much ram lollipop uses by default?
or how much ram should be free on fresh lollipop install after clearing cache and factory reset?
I have between 400-700MB free
it means lollipop uses more than 1GB Ram?
Just got a new s6 edge+ and absolutely blown away with the phone as a whole.
Only problem/issue is the RAM usage. I'm a light user for 90% of the day and i have barely any apps installed, yet the RAM is always above 50% even when all apps are closed and i 'clean' the RAM. Average RAM usage is 75%. 3GB?!?
Is this normal to all other users? My thought are that it could be a false reading. Or that it could be dummy using RAM and reassigns it to wherever needs it when any high usage apps run.
I am a UK user and the only update applied was a carrier pushed update. (E.g. i havent done any updates myself or messed around with the phone).
Attached is a screenshot of my kernal and baseband versions for anyone interest.
Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks, Zack.
I see the same on my SM-G9827 phone.It opens around 30 apps in background.If you clean them regularly it kills the battery.Its better to leave them like that.I am getting 6 hours SOT with 3 % left if i leave them as it it.
Ram is ment to be used. To make apps open fast when you need them. A lot of free ram does not make your phone faster AFAIK. So keep those apps running and enjoy a fast phone!

I agree.
RAM is meant to be used, you've got 4GB of it. The OS has been optimised to kill any processes that haven't been used if memory is filling up. Forget about saving RAM and focus on enjoying the device.
