1 Gb Total Ram? - Galaxy Grand 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hy guys new to this forum
i recently purchased SM-G7102 (dual sim) . Once going through the specs i noticed it shows just 890 mb of total ram in apps and cpu-z whereas it's written all over it has 1.5 gb ram. I really don't understand why is it so. Checked thoroughly for counterfeit or clone but i guess it's original Samsung device and getting oficial software updates too. Stock samsung pre installed apps are working fine just this issue of ram is bothering me.
Any help and advice will be much apreciated.
Thanks.

Only 865 MB instead of 1,5 GB RAM?
I checked the RAM of my SM-G7102 (Grand 2 Duos) with CPU-Z, version 1.26. Only 865 MB of RAM is displayed.
Is this correct?

How much free RAM should I have?

What does everyone have for free RAM? I have between 320 - 400. Is this normal/average? Running rooted stock.

That's about it.
You don't have to worry about free ram, JB will take care of itself

As said, dont worry about the free memory, JB will manage it fine.
Dont use a task killer either for memory management, only to kill problem apps, and if an app is repeatedly a problem app, then uninstall it.
With Android, you are better off with apps in memory as they will launch/run quicker, free memory is wasted memory.
I agree with these post, don't worry about free ram. As long as a particular app isn't causing problems by taking up too much theres no need to really worry about memory. Unused memory is basically resources not being used.

Empty RAM uses electricity, and RAM used as cache is as static as empty RAM. It's not as if the system is turning off power to the modules that are unused. You'll see a negligible impact (if any) from having more free.
Edit: In fact, you may see the opposite if you aggressively free memory due to increased flash memory usage.

Cool, thanks for all of the info. I just wanted a point of reference, nothing was wrong.

Mem leak in 4.3 ?

Is memory leak problem solved in android 4.3?
Sent from my Nexus 4
Which memory leak?

is there an issue? no problem here. are you sure that its not just one of your apps? a badly written app could potentially "leak" memory.
Ram used to take 1gb of memory... N I used to reboot to clear it off

I have not experienced it on 4.2.2 or 4.3, though I run stock.

i have never had ram take 1gb. i usually have between 1250-1550 free. right now i have 1327mb free ram. seems like you might need to take some time to take control of your apps. if you have root, greenify(app) will help, autostarts works well too. if you dont control your apps, they start controlling you and your device. personally, id rather be the one thats in control
I now have 0.94 GB RAM free but what does it matter? You have 2 gigs of RAM and its still running buttery smooth.

The N4 never had a memory leak. Don't worry about how much free ram you have, free ram is wasted ram and using it uses no extra power

So far as I know, the answer is Not affecting any speed/Ram performance

(q) ram usage

I upgraded from the galaxy nexus to the g2 and what I can't figure out is what is using all the ran on the g2 I have the same apps on the g2 as I did on my gnex but on the g2 uses almost a gig of ram where as the gnex only used half of that with all the same apps the only difference is the ROM and kernel could it be one of them using all the ram
i can see many more differences between these two devices lol. resolution being the most obvious one.
ill try explain with an example. u have a small house and feel comfortable there. then on top of that u build a 4x bigger house. and you would still live only in the small house. wouldnt it be better to use parts of the bigger house aswell ?
and not only the house grew but you as well.

That's what I sorta figured just wasn't sure

yeah, nothing to worry about. 1gb used ram is pretty standard now.

The LG has 2GB of RAM, if your device uses 1.9GB, then start worrying. If it uses only half or 1.5GB, it is a good thing.
U know,g2 has a much better gpu,processor and resolution etc and does and handles everything better(while sacrificing ram usage)

Use greenify and hibernate the apps that u do not use. Alternately, you can go to task manager and clear memory to kill applications.
