i saw this post from a blogger [XQ55] on Google+ who manage to get galaxy note 4 and he show us how much Ram remain ! i think this will be an issue, what do you think ?
The only reason I can tell is stock and system apps took out lot of ram and that's it...
My note 4 has little ram left. About 300mb.

Mine always over 500mb, only sometimes got 400mb left, but then back to 800mb-1000mb+ after cleaned
I wish they just made the ram 4gb but performance wise it flies

Nah, 3gb is more than enough at this stage..... Maintenance is an issue. E.g. Have u close some of the "extra" functions and freeze those useless stock apps? Have u controlling your start up apps properly? How often u clean up your ram?
These are all the issues u needa take care of And the major problem is screen brightness. It eat a lot of your battery.....
I noticed to on this note 4 battery drains really fast when i crank up the brightness. But screen i very clear and readable without straining my eyes even on low brightness not like my note 2.

I dont usually clear the ram. I just let android manage ram usage. Cannot feel performance difference after clearing the ram in fact apps startup is not instant and it takes a second or two because it loads it again in the ram.

[update]
the same guy post a screen shot of his Ram [see attached photo] status after deleting & disable some preloaded apps and disable some gestures & animations and finally closing background running apps.
but he mention that he is really enjoing using the phone and he didn't facing any lag even with poor Ram.
if you know about android and how ram is handled, you would know that ANY unused ram is wasted ram..
there is nothing wrong with only small amounts of ram available; that is how the phone is SUPPOSED to work, useing as much available ram as possible

True , the whole RAM scare is incorrect, and is about the same as the task-manager myth that surrounds Android from its beginning.

Normally screen is the major problem about draining battery, so better not to set it too bright.
If u shut down most of the stock apps, u can tell the different I don't have to clear the ram quite often in my case, but i shutted down most of the samsung's bloat apps. I also managed the apps in start up, so now my Note 4 can always have about 400mb-700mb ram without clearing it. And u can use Seeder to give u a boost as well.

Actually it is true. Those used ram are standing by for the apps in the background. If we use ram manager to check, we can see heaps of the apps that we are not even using them, but they are there and they took bit of ram as well. This is juz my non theorizing understanding.....

Also true. You can disable them if you wish the OS won't even think of loading them into RAM, but then you will get other things filling the RAM.

That it is a samsung lie. Other phones with the SD800 and 2gb of ram gives the user 1.81gb like the LG G2 or the nexus 5 in screenshots.
So, if LG only takes 190mb of ram with the same processor, theres no reason to take 500 by samsung, or at least not by the GPU. And if samsung needs 700mb for the s-crapware preinstalled, well, thats unfortunate.

So much this, I can accept that to some people have a phone with 30 apps installed, but I have over 400, and even if I use greenify or autostarts to freeze a most of them, I use a lot of ram, and I also need to use ram managers, if the phone goes below 200mb, it becomes super ultra slow, so from 2.3 to 2.7 it is a huge improvement that I really want to have.
I have found my note 3 freezes considerably when only few apps are running in the background. I'm constantly closing apps via task manager which I didn't have to on my HTC one. So something clearly isn't working as it should. This was one of the reasons why i moved away from samsung phones in the past.
I do like note 3 but I can't help feeling it's over bloated. I've had 3 note 3's all have the same issue.
Having 4 hours of use since it came out of the box nothing has been slow about it, even while restoring and using the phone. Once again my 2 was lagging with a fair number of apps running in the background if I didn't kill it.

I have 382 apps installed, and my RAM sticks at 1.2GB in use even without closing anything... Drops to 800MB in use when I clean them (and a lovely '62 apps closed' popup).
So I have no idea what is eating so much on yours as to require RAMmanagers.

Are u on JB or KK. when my phone is on JB its only 2.4 GB RAM so i flash stock firmware KK now its 2.71 GB
Sorry for bad eng
By default (no additional apps installed yet), Note 3 consume almost 1,4GB of its RAM. Is it normal? Can we disable or uninstall some useless apps/services from it? Any recommendation? I need more free RAM to run other apps.
Device doesn't manage its memory well enough for you?
this beast suck a lots of memory, i ran only few apps memory remain at 400mb free WTF, when i clear memory i saw it clear 40+ apps ,so it look like many samsung junk apps run in background.
-No custom for me at this time, i'm not big fan of Omega Rom. Wait for more custom rom.
Why wouldn't you want the device to cache Apps in RAM?
RAM is there to be used, not to be empty so you can see a big non-utilized number. If new opened applications need more RAM, the OS will automatically clear the old stored data to make room for new ones. It even explains this in the task manager if you bothered to read.
RAM is indeed to be used. But it's not pleasant to see your rebootet phone is slurping up 1GB of ram immediatly.
I've rooted mine and loaded up Omega. I deleted all useless apps. I'm running now on 500 - 700MB after booting up
This means for me less bloatware and more private apps that I downloaded can be cached
Win-Win Situation

I'm with MohJee here; Android is just using as much memory as it can because it's faster to access the RAM than the storage. The boot processes use RAM, and if there is enough RAM in the system, then the boot processes will just use that RAM in order to avoid swapping, hence helping the device boot faster. The amount of 'free' RAM you see after system boot is just the RAM that was not used by the boot processes; the 'used' RAM is not necessarily being used by active processes. It looks used, but it's in fact free to take.
Whenever an app needs memory, the OS loads it up in RAM until there is no more RAM available, in which case the OS will just clear some unused memory to make room for the new app. This is more efficient than cleaning memory as soon as you leave an app, because then if you reopen an app you closed a while back, you don't need to load all the data in memory, it's already there.
Basically, unless you run a lot of processes or you have very little RAM, the RAM being full is a good thing in the Android world.
The RAM should get used in any Android device, with 3GB of ram, it seems like the phone is caching almost everything it can, it doesn't seem to affect usage as it kills non used apps and loads the ones you open if it reaches the limit.
This is perfectly normal, and how it should work.

Yea, upon a reboot it only has 689MB in use. Even running 6 apps at the same time (Tapatalk, Firefox, Gmail, Outlook, Whatsapp, Oh!Edu Towns) it still sticks to about 1.28GB In Use.
All I did was clear out the bloatware as much as non-root allows, replaced Touchwiz(480MB usage) with Apex(68MB usage), turned off all sync and location services, and I don't use Facebook.

they loaded a bunch of **** that constantly loads. all their dumb software screwing with the consumer.
So they give more, and reserve almost half a gig or more on some devices.. the North American has a max of 2.38gb so reserved a lot more.

Empty ram uses the same amount of battery as full ram. Might as well have some things loaded into ram for faster access and so other apps calling on these resources don't have to expend your battery while trying to turn things on

Thanks for all the reply. Thought there was something wrong with my device.
I'm on stock rom and I've debloated my device my self. I deleted apps and services, turned off other things that I couldn't delete. My RAM usually sits between 1.16Gb to 1.42Gb.
worrying about idle ram is like worrying about benchmarks...
both mean nothing in a normally functioning phone..

Android uses the Linux kernel, in the world of Linux/ Unix for those that do not know.... Unused RAM is wasted RAM. You phone will remove stuff from RAM if its getting to low on free space.

This is true of any modern OS. Even Windows Vista or newer, which will cache commonly used apps in RAM to allow for faster app starts.

I flashed the polish Android 5.0 lollipop on my SM-G900F Galaxy S5. I have the latest xxxBNL9 update. When i hit the task switcher (left) button it takes very long to minimize the screen and open the task switcher. Typically it takes 2-3 seconds. When i do it repetitively it goes quicker. I've already set the "transition animation scale" to off (or 0.5x) in "developer options". Frequently closing all apps also doesn't help.
Please help me. I multitask a lot and this delay is very annoying.

There is a memory leak in 5.0 and even 5.0.1-2 that if you keep the phone on more than 2 days running the system eats up the RAM.

Touchwiz is a bit of a memory leak on itself, but i think the memory leak doesn't just affect nexus phones, but also the Galaxy S5. When i look in my memory manager, with only a few small open apps (totalling less than 200mb) my memory is almost full, 1.4 /1.67gb used.
I don't know if that's the actual cause of the delay on opening the memory manager. It might well be, because with more memory it can keep the task switcher open/active longer. The times when there is a delay are probably when the task switcher app was closed because of low memory. When you open it several times, it goes much faster.
Note: I cleared my cache partition after a failed root attempt and reflashed the stock rom (without doing a factory reset). That helped a bit. It went from 2-4 seconds to 1-3 seconds to open the task switcher. It helped, but it's not a permanent fix.
The only temporary workaround as of yet is to reboot the phone regularly, like every 2 days.
2gb is really not enough for this phone... that's why we are seing a lag free note 3 touchwiz rom because it has 3 gb of ram.

What you talking is nonsense. If 2 are gigabytes of RAM too little why are then 200 to 300 megabytes always free? If you have more than that it is useless.

Of course it affects battery life because phone could have less RAM in total (physically less) which needs less juice. Less RAM needs less physical space and battery can be bigger. So again, if you have a lot free RAM just sitting there, it does nothing and I don`t know which smart ass even started comparing ROM optimization and free RAM.

Other than having less size for the battery(which is is untrue, you could just have one larger sized ram stick) having more ram does not lead to less battery life. Like i said before where did you hear that? Googling that only brings up the contrary so im confused where you got that information.

Sending 15 photos via fb messenger causes crash because it needs more ram.
Free ram isn't FREE RAM, it's cached memory, it is still being used but if an needs more it will free it and the cached process will be moved to swap or forced close...and yeah have fun sending a support or bug report to facebook, because they're not fixing it.
