Help to free ram

I have red about people here with 400Mb free ram using vista...I am using right now 950mb!!! I have installed only:
MagicDisc
winzip and winrar
Office 2007 (without Access and other things)
Skype and Messenger
Antivir
Firefox
Now I have closed Magic disc, skype and messenger closed, no explorer windows opened, any office apps closed, Origami closed and I use 817Mb...can someone tell me more about this? I am doing nothing and my ram is finished!
Thanks
PS: Aero not active, Vista SP1 and all the HTC updated drivers installed

defrag ram
use software allowing ram defragmentation
then do it after you close an aplication
i use silicon prairi mem turbo which allow me to defrage in 30 sec by typing crt+f
normally you always have around 400 m of free ram with word firefox msn runing,
you can obtain up to 600mb of free ram..

Thanks for the tip, I'll try it and let you all now. Even if it is written for Windows Xp/2003 hope it will work well on Vista too if you are using it.

You could easily use the ReadyBoost in sight and use or share the memory of your SD card, you must first enable the facility in Vista, is not a real increase of ram, but it helps to choose an increase between 30% and 80% performance overall system, improving its performance, my advice is to share the amount of memory to use in SD, for example, I have one of 4Gb, 2Gb for ReadyBoost and 2 gigabytes of storage. If you want to share one more memory, you'll have to turn on Vista also ease of use memory more than 4Gb default is disabled. Best regards

Thanks, even if there are so many ideas about ReadyBoost...someone is happy with it, someone tells that encrypting all the datas makes the cpu slow...anyway I will try mem turboin a couple of minutes

are you losing space on your storage card? this may be why

so, i noticed that my 16gb storage card was filling up, and i had no idea why. silly windows 7 won't let you organize folders by size (files yes, folders no), so i couldn't tell what folder what so ginormous. i thought it was either my music or my movies folder, but neither one of those was over 3 gigs.
i picked up a program called tree size off of cnet. it showed me everything.
my nandroid folder was HUGE, because i've been backing up everytime before i do something potentially stupid. the thing was well over 4 gigs.
anyhoo, just a reminder to those of you that use nandroid regularly to go through and delete those older dates you may not use.
this may be common knowledge to most of you, but i wasn't aware.

Oh yeah, this can definitely fill up your SD card rather quickly. I have a folder on my computer and just transfer from backups there every now and then.

Awesome topic, found the nandroid folders in astro and found the backups, deleting them gave me over a gig back... awesome

excellent irony
is that you're...
1 deleting backups
2 using winblows to delete backups, and a GUI @ that
3 not using du -sh
sweet

re: 1 ) i don't need every backup i've ever made. i've made a ton
re: 2 ) i spend half my time on winblows, half my time in linux. but, what i don't know about linux would fill a warehouse, admittedly
re: 3) not everyone is familiar with unix commands
the recommendation i made, and apparently the other one, are both useful utilities for examining folder size, among other things. i would wager most people in here aren't unix wizards, like yourself. but, i may be wrong. i was only trying to help

Is anyone else's phone full?

App2SD shows I have only 43MB free out of 500MB storage on the EVO 4G, and I've moved all possible apps to the SD card.
The thing is the apps listed in 'phone only' ar enot taking up that much storage, so it must be the OS/data. Is there any way to clear that, or should I finally install a custom ROM?

I have about 75 or so apps installed and still have 240MB free. MIUI itself is about 100MB smaller than Sense ROMs so that helps, plus apps2sd.

lol they didnt expect people to have ten billion apps installed.

Nope...I don't keep apps on my phone that I don't use on a daily basis.

Try this....
If you use Dark Tremors A2SD solution here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715116 it will solve your storage dilemma. Just make sure you get a class 6 memory card.

Ha, I filled up my phone within a couple days of when I got it. Went on a bit of an apps install bender.

cl6 16gb, 1gb ext/a2sd partition, this is what titanium backup tells me

Yep same, I was full after a few days as well. I hate apps that cant go on sd.

Freed up a LOT of space by switching to AOSP... Considering how EVERY HTC and Sprint bloatware app was stuck on the internal memory, getting rid of those freed up a lot of space for me.

lol... i hate all the people that downrate apps because they dont go to sd card. Especially all the apps that cant go to the card.. (like flash) because they are a plug in.

you must have literally tons of apps on your phone then.

Less space available than there should be.

I'm having a problem where my device thinks there is only 3.7GB available when actually there should be somewhere around 8 or 9GB free,

Sorry can't help you but I just noticed this today too.
I did had a large video on here but deleted it , seems it hasn't freed up the space...

Have you looked for a folder called "LOST.DIR" ? if you have one, delete it and then see remaining space.

also try sd maid

SD Maid is a really cool app, thanks for recommending that. It got me back about 1GB but still seems I have a lot of space lost in the ether :crying:
I wonder if the storage graph counts app data that is downloaded seperately like games that download an additional 500MB or some such to the SD? I have at least 4 games on my device that did that which could account for some of the missing data if that is the case.

I'm missing space as well, but using DiskUsage showed a lot more detail of my memory usage.
I think the storage display is being a little too simplistic.

Disk Usage is a great app too! it did show me where most of my data has gone. I have 2GB in comics on my device I totally forgot and the rest of the data is "Android data" such as all the additional game data like I suspected.
I appreciate all the app suggestions and help guys. I feel much better now knowing what all is using up my space. (wish there was a 32GB version of the N7 but oh well)

Hold the power button till it shuts down, once it restarts the memory should be back as available. At least it was on mine.

Factory reset with Nexus 7 toolkit. I did the factory image thing and it fixed it up.

One of the thumbnail files in /DCIM/.thumbnails/ was 1.27GB in size. This is a file that doesn't show up for some reason on that DiskUsage app by the way (even with root), so that's worth checking out with a file explorer.
I deleted mine and put a .nomedia file in my movies, wallpaper and DCIM folders, hoping it'll stop making thumbnails.

Thanks!

This freed up most of the space that was reported in DiskUsage as "System Data" but I still have almost 1Gb used and can't see what's using it. Anyone know of an app that breaks down System data usage?
Bit of a pain having to reboot the device each time I want to free up system data...

Marshmallow have memory leak just like 5.0

Marshmallow have memory leak just like 5.0, that was fixed in 5.1 most likely the story will return once again and it will be fixed with 6.1
Hopefully also M7 will get 6.1 .
I there for just want to recommend to restart your phone atleast One time per day, since your device will become slower and slower it is on because of the memory leak. and it is not just huawei it is the same on all marshmallow phones, it is a google problem right now.

Do you have some details?

Unused RAM is wasted RAM. LMK on MM on our device is catastrophic. I have random closing apps like FB, FB Msg, Viber in middle of writing messages... And I'm not the only one...
Cached processes screen. You see here should be all apps that you exited via home button and it should it load quickly just like you bring minimized app on pc - it should be instant and it shouldn't reload it like our device is doing.
Free ram should be around 50-60 MB max all other ram should be used for cacheing background processes. Huawei software department need some help with understanding how RAM should be used.
See?

Reminds me of one plus 3 that released a phone with 6 gb but only use 4 gb of it. It is indeed. Memory is there to be used.
Anyway. I also have random close downs of apps especially kik but also other apps I think it is the memory leak on 6.0 that I'd to blame but this is a Google problem not a Huawei.

Still, no news regarding this >> https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=195104
(Anyone noticed otherwise with the August security update?)
I m on 4.4.4 (S5), thinking whether or not to upgrade to 6.0.1. Probably worths it, right?
Isn't there a practical workaround for this issue? Like certain apps (e.g. Clean Master), that clean memory/cache a good alternative? Does garbagge still accumulate on the system after long usage?
