Hello
My phone have only 1.2GB free RAM even after i killed all apps. I disabled some system apps. I'm using Servicely & Greenify too.
Is there any other way to free up RAM?
Android will fee up ram as it needs it.

Please share your opinion

Yes. In the world of android.. Free RAM is wasted RAM.

Does sound about average. the x10 does have 384 ram although apparently it can only use 256 ram because of limitations of android 1.6!!

Agreed!
Dont need to worry about RAM on android smartphones. Android system takes care of how to utilize RAM.
I remember immediately after root, I had 202MB free immediately after startup, but for some reason, now it's around 160...Anyone know how to permanently kill apps from starting up?
@chris knows... please read the posts prior to yours.. you don't need to kill stuff.

I read that, but figured removing apps that autostart would save battery. Or is the power consumed negligible, and I shouldn't worry about it?

The apps are in idle state.
Well, most of them anyway so they won't use cpu which means battery is not used either.
Only services are running.

For some reason, my phone got only around 30MB of free RAM after using it for 5-10 mins since startup. I dont use any task manager, and the only program that I use to stop startup apps is Startup Auditor and I only disable Moxier Mail at startup. My phone is not rooted. Is it normal? Cuz comparing my free RAM to you guys, I just feel a HUGE difference here

I only have 34Mb free
As somebody said before ... free ram = wasted ram.
Recently my ram has drop dramatically I used to have around 500mb free now no matter how many apps I kill even after a fresh boot I can't free up more than 350mb has anyone run into this issue?

Is 350MB low? Does it affect the phone's performance at all?
C'mon! If the device works well, it doesn't matter if you have 350MB or 800MB free. By the way, 350MB is way too much RAM. I have a Milestone and I usually get 35 to 45MB out of 256MB after reboot. The phone works like a charm.
So, why should you bother for this insignificance?
android is not windows 98

why you want more free ram ?

Seeing thus aswell. If your phone is rooted freeze all the crappy moto things that you don't use. And that should help a little bit.
I updated so I cannot freeze any apps at the moment. But I uninstall all the apps that constantly reset/start, this makes more ram and better battery. Also my zg ran super fast with only 10-20 ram and it works flawless.
Hey guys if I check in he settings it shows that I have around 230 mb ram free but if I check using a taskkiller or any third party app it tells me that I have only 80-90 mb ram free when the settings menu is showing 230 mb free
Could this mean that we have less ram available and se is just making a joke of it?

I would believe the phone, not the task killer.

I believe the pgone stores cache from apps in ram to, but it can easily be overwriten by apps that reallt need the extra ram. So it's free for any app to take but not all of the free ram is unused. I believe this cache is for apps that use multitasking just to start up quickly. It's not a problem if they lose their place in the ram for a game as they'll just have to restart without (significant) loss of data.
If you check the free ram in the running services list, you can click on the free ram indicator in the bottom to see what's loaded in it.

Is anyone else experiencing high ram usage on their s4? I'm down to only about 450 mb of free memory. I barely have anything running, too.

"Free ram is wasted ram" this is android not windows...you dont need to worry about low ram, amdroid handles ram difderntly than computers...and more efficiently. If the ram ever becomes too loaded to function smoothly android os will automatically clear the least ysed applications freeing up some ram.

What's the best way to free the ram?

Under settings, application manager...one of the tabs allows you to clear apps from ram
However there is no benefits on doing this...in fact only disadvantages. Clearing apps will jot improve overall device speed, it will however require those apps that were cleared to take longer to reopen as they are no longer stored in the ram.
If a specific app is slow or not running as it usually does than it may be wise to force stop it under settings application manager

Hello,
I just got my T-Mobile G2 a couple of days ago. I don't have a lot of experience yet but I'm curious if this is the normal RAM usage vs availability. If so do you have any problems running high end games, apps, etc? I am presently on 4.4.2. I have used Titanium Backup to freeze a lot of system apps. This just seems like it could be an issue. I also use Greenify to hibernate some apps as well. Any thoughts on this?

I would love to get an expert answer on this. I recently changed it PAC Man Rom and now it appears I have even less available memory. I'm not noticing any lag or anything but it just bugs me. I added up everything cached and running and it totalled like 364mb not even half a gig of ram. This phone has 2GB of ram. So I dunno just seems weird to me. I guess as long as it's not all laggy then that's what matters.

Yes that's normal use I usually have around 300-400 mb ram and another note that everyone makes unused ram is useless ram

What good is the RAM if you don't use it?

I guess my confusion is what happens if I've got 400 mb of ram and I go to play GTA San Andreas... Lol. Will it pull it off? Guess I'll just have to wait and see.

Yeah, the more RAM used the better. I'm using PA3.99RC2 with a kernel (I forget where I got it; just says d800 custom 5 cm) that doesn't use enough RAM. I always have 700-800MB free. I don't know what sysctl changes I can make to increase RAM use. I hope my phone isn't using a swap on its slow mobile phone NAND .
You can use Greenify which now doesn't require root. You can disable apps/system apps running on background that you don't use.

I have Greenify. But nevertheless I played Riptide GP2 earlier with full graphics. Smooth as butter. Good enough for me. :thumbup:
