ram use - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Excited just received in the new S7 edge in, I open the smart manager, found that in ram option, total 4GB ram but has 671MB reserved, and almost 65% already used, even end all, still almost 50% used, I don't know if this happen to everyone, if yes, is there any way to release that 671MB ?

The 671mb is probably for the graphics video RAM.

The reserved part is for system devices like the GPU. Worry less about the numbers and see if your apps and tabs remain open when multitasking.

Android will keep recently / frequently used apps in RAM so when you want to access them again they don't need to load from storage. That speeds things up. Linux (Android) isn't Windows, and having a bunch of free RAM doesn't accomplish anything except slow down multi-tasking.

Can you provide us with a screenshot, Thanks.

It has been asked here and there over this forum, but this is the main area, so its better to ask here...
Any way we can get the rom to extract a cab or something? I dont think its hardware dependent, so it should work on our machines...
Anybody...?
PS: I think the iphone came and slap M$ and all the ppc makers right on the face with its 200mhz machines since 2003 and 64/128 low ram micro upgrades...
Now these great plugins start showing up here and there and machines suddently have 4 gb of rom, finally some long-awaited REAL upgrades!
I wonder if the rotation animations can be ported i mean even though you may not have a accelerometer it my still hide the usual lag.
Actually I was refering only to the gadgets...
The diamond album was easily re-used by other htc's, but you couldnt turn the images because you had no accelarometer, it worked fine without anyway...

Always some RAM left

When I open many apps, let's say 20, phone doesn't keep them and frees some RAM even though apps are open in background (in recent apps list). So, for example, if I open many apps and first of them was Facebook and then I wanted to open it from recent list, it would reload even though there's some RAM left. It's always around 800MB-1GB remaining and never used.
It's a phones common procedure, to minimize the battery drain.
If the app (Facebook, Twitter e.t.c) isn't used for 20ish seconds, it'll close automatically, to stop the battery drain.
This procedure can be stopped, by rooting your phone, and using specific apps, for example "speed-up swap" it's available in Google play
Actually you don't need root to prevent apps from closing you have to add them to white list in phone manager -> battery -> protected apps.

You can also lock them in memory by swyping from top to bottom on specific app in recents menu.

Yes, main apps are in protective apps list but no matter what ram is never filled. What's the use of 2GB of ram if only one is used? I want it to fill completely before closing apps

H870 running super slow and CPU seems kinda locked

Hey,
so I did research for like 3 days but I can't find any solutions relating to my problem. My G6 ist running on v30b so its updated to the newest version. But at easiest tasks it is so laggy and stuttering. Playing games you can forget about, also apps like Snapchat are a disaster. I deleted or disabled all bloatware I could find.
So I tried this CPU "benchmark" and it seems like the CPU is kinda locked or limited at 1GHz. The performance is dropping to red but the CPU still stays at the excactly same level, why? (Screenshot) The max CPU clock also says 1,59 GHz there first. The G6 wasnt hot at all ans not charging.
I was irritated and like 10 minutes later I started a new test. Now the Max clock was correct and it also started at 2Ghz but after 1 minute it dropped all the way down to 1GHz and stays there at the same level. The performance is completely red. I really cant unterstand why this is happening, hoping some of you can help me.
Thank you so much in advance!

Virus/trojan - run bitdefender or kaspersky scan.
Some adware/bitmining program. Full backup, then full reset of phone to factory fresh.
Something broken with the hardware - eg the cooling pipe inside the phone.

S7 EDGE (SM-935F) EMMC- slow write problem

Hello equally angry and happy s7 edge users,
im facing some troubles with my s7 edge, i recently bought it from a second hand, when i first saw the phone i could notice it extremely slow so i decided to buy (i never lose a opportunity to break my head)
Phone was running on Latest November security update 8.0 Oreo
G935FXXS8ETK4_G935FUWT8ETCA_COB
Ultra slow to wake, almost impossible to use, freezes shows "system ui has stopped working"
yesterday after a few wipes and formats i installed
FloydQ_V6.0_Exynos8890
and MoRoKernel-AllInOne-CTK1-v8.6.1
to find the same mistake on android 10
SDcard change seems to help, but still fails at certain point, mostly on native ui windows
Write/read test shows the sequential speed with depression peaks to 200kb/s.
i dont know how to get rid of this trouble, ive tried a lot of things
hope someone can help, i will upload the logcat, Science!

Thanks to everyone F2FS system file seems to speed up the phone a little bit, i'm currently on Floyd V6.0 MoroKernel and MoroTWRP F2FSReady, still laggy at certain point but at least usable
What's the app you're using to test the speeds?

i thought those peaks were i/o faults, but i formated /data and /cache to f2fs and still remains.

High RAM Usage

Hey Guys I have been noticing Android 10 is using heavy amount of RAM (Developer Options - Running Services) than before. For Example in my case 2.9/3.9GB than 2.3/3.9GB but when I restart the phone it comes back to 2.3GB which is quite normal scenario! This slows the phone a bit!
Are you facing the same problem? Is there any way to reset the RAM without restarting the phone?
Find which apps or services are doing it and deal with them directly.
Turn off global power management if active.
Global power management means?

Developer options>standby apps, all app bucket states should show as "active" and their state not able to be changed by you.
The global power management option is found elsewhere in settings probably under power management. It can't be turned on/off in Developer options.
6.1 Plus don't have Power Management option maybe you are referring to Battery Saver?

That may be it... on Samsung's they bury it, you need to look a bit. It may be active by default, but you should be able to disable it. This makes troubleshooting easier.
It's called different things depending on the manufacturer. It's a Google Android battery management service present on most (all?) newer Androids.
Not sure about that make... sorry.
As it appears on my N10+, these are all trouble makers that can also cause erratic behaviors in my case.
