I'm getting quite annoyed at my phone's lack of RAM.
I browse the internet and constantly open new windows (up to the max 4 allowed by the HTC browser, but that's another story) so that I can quickly go back a page when I need to.
If for some reason I go and use a couple of other apps on the phone, and then come back to the browser I constantly find that the oldest 3 pages have dropped completely out of RAM, and the 4th one has as well, and that last one alone loads up again.
This is annoying, time-consuming and messes up my browsing session. Is there some way I can prioritise the browser so that most other apps get killed off before it does?

Try using firefox instead on the defualt browser .its not perfect yet but its getting
better and better with every beta release .
I don't think an alternate browser will help with Android unwantedly killing off processes.
Incidentally, I tried Firefox a couple of months ago and found it to be completely unusable - I take it it's worth checking out again now then?
Another possibility is to set the Android memory manager to be less aggressive in removing things from memory (you can use an app like AutoKiller to change the settings easily---try tweaking the settings to see if helps with your usage model).
I know AutoKiller will also allow you to lower the oom value for the process (the lower the oom, the less likely the memory manager will kill it in the background), but I don't think this will help for the browser (since the OS will dynamically change its oom each time you bring it to the foreground and send it to the background again). If someone knows a way to make the oom value permanently lower, that sounds like exactly what you want.
Maybe someone else has some ideas. I know often times launchers will have the option to keep themselves in memory, and CM6 has the option to keep messaging in memory (more like your situation), so it should be doable.

defo ,its much better now i figured since you were annoyed by 4 tab limit
you might find firefox helpful. because it doesnt have limit or if it does its more than 4 for sure also it has an aption called (your tabs from last time) which again i think
you will find it usefull ,you can also sync it with you pcs firefox too .
EDIT: I just tried it to make sure, even if you reboot your phone
and open firefox again you can just press on (your tabs from last time)
and it will restore them all.
The way I see it there are a few things you can do...
Firstly, you could try a renice script. It does what other people have suggested and changes the oomph value to what you like. It was commonly used on the g1 for the dialer so that you wouldn't miss phone calls lol. Its easy to do if you know the syntax, I would make you one myself if I was near a computer lol.
Another thing you could do is try an aosp/CM based rom, as those generally have much, much lower ram usage compared to sense.
Lastly you could try a different browser. There are so many to choose from I'm sure one will fit your needs.

I use autokiller on my DZ, you have to have root to use this tho... quite satisfied about it, almost all the time 90+ free ram even when doing heavy stuff... quits the unused shizzle...

I HIGHLY recommend Dolphin Browser HD.
It is significantly faster than the stock Browser and I have had no issues with Android closing it down. One feature I like is that there is actually an 'Exit' button in the menu for those individuals who have OCD like me and don't like the Browser running in the background when not wanted.
Thus far, this is the best mobile Browser I have used. That being said, I have not tried Firefox and have been a regular user of Opera Mini in the past on other devices.
You should try miren browser once, i'm using it now instead of dolphin hd, and there is a exit button in the menu to. I think its better styled, it has got all the features of dolphin HD without all the bloating around... no gestures tho
cheers
I think its more of poorly optimized software because im pretty sure that google devs don't even utilize the full 512mb of RAM in 2.2. Chances are its the HTC sense limiting you.

Yeah I don't think this issue is anything to do with a lack of RAM.
I may try another ROM, however I'm just not up for flashing all the time like I used to with my old Desire or G1 before that. I want a 100% working ROM, preferably something that allows overclocking with a kernel that doesn't break stuff.
And I also want my HTC phone dialler/contacts as well, not vanilla or a cheap copy from the Market. Oh, and I hate the vanilla lockscreen - it's just hard to operate compared to the Sense one. I don't know why it's so hard to unlock side to side on Android - the iPhone takes a little flick and it's unlocked - vanilla Android is like a mission to ensure I've dragged it far enough across to unlock.
And I don't want my keyboard or capacitive keys or quick keys mullered up (I am running a Euro DZ).
If these issues can be dealt with easily when setting up the ROM/phone then I'm prepared to devote a little time to doing it.
So - any suggestions, please?
dont use htc sense roms.
I'm running the virtuous sense rom with his advanced kernel, ive ran the normal rom about 2 weeks, and ive yet to see differences other then a huuuuuuuge speed increase... i would just try it once if i were you its such a relieve...
I played with the latest over the weekend. I ended up uninstalling it. I'd hit a page with scripting and then firefox would lock up and crash.
Web2Go isn't perfect, but at least it doesn't crash as often.
This has nothing to do with RAM. This phone handles RAM just fine. Use Miren and thank me later. It's the best browser by far!

No text reflow = showstopper.
Unless I'm just being blind, I can't find any way to enable this in the settings for Miren.
It's sense. Sense roms use way more RAM than vanilla roms do. Also check out dolphin HD or dolphin mini browser.
Another issue I'm having which points to lack of RAM (whether this is due to Sense sucking it all up or not) is that programs do not stay in in RAM for that long, ie I go away from an app then return after using a few other apps (not massive games or anything) and when I return the first app's UI has been kicked out of memory and has to load up again, causing anything between a momentary (dialler, mesaging) to an annoyingly long (browser, maps, market) white screen, as data is downloaded again.
People talk a lot of sh*t about the iPhone, but cacheing (caching? sp?) a copy of the last screen for each app before it's closed so you instantly get a visual image of the UI of the app following the opening animation is a pretty good idea IMO.
Has anyone here used the Desire HD? I would think with the 768MB of RAM on that badboy this would be less of a problem.

I've now installed Enomther's Official rom - what a difference to the speed of the phone! It absolutely flies, even when clocked at a lower CPU speed, and it appears to retain stuff in memory a lot better than the standard Sense rom. Also, there's over 100MB more of free RAM afte a fresh boot.
I'm definitely sold on the efficiency of stock Android, but I'm now missing some of my HTC goodies... I don't think anyone can deny that the HTC dialler is a different level to the rudimentary Android one. And I am missing my HTC browser - that seems a bit smoother, and the text reflow is more reliable, the stock browser seems a bit temperamental on that front.
Other than that, I can live without all the other Sense stuff. So my next question is, can the dialler and browser be installed on my new rom? Do they have any dependencies which would prevent me using them? How would I go about ripping the apps from the HTC rom? I'm an ADB noob so I need some kind expert to tell me how
My note's ram is always above 600 mb. ...pls help

I always use back button to close apps. Clicking home button will not close apps but minimized. More apps opened equal more RAM used.

Totally normal. Apps are loaded into RAM so when you want to open an app it loads faster. That's how Android works.
My advice is to not go on a killing spree and kill every app that's running. This will make your device slower and it'll use more battery since it has to use more power to load the apps again and again - and again.
If you want to free up some RAM you can do this:
- Switch launcher. TouchWiz is a resource hog, and you'll gain some RAM if you switch to another launcher like ADW, GO Launcher or LauncherPro
- Freeze/Delete system apps that you don't use/want. If you're not using SocialHub, Reader and Swipe, there's no reason having them. Freeze them and they won't use RAM.
- Flash a custom ROM. You can flash a custom ROM if you want. Your device will be faster and use less battery. Some ROMs has been stripped for "bloatware" like SocialHub etc. so they're fast "out of the box".
I'm currently running ROMOW ROM with ADW EX (and i've frozen a lot of system apps), and my Note is only using around 250MB on boot.
What's the problem with that? You have 800 MB for OS and applications, it's meant to be used. Applications loaded, compiled and the code is stored in RAM, the more RAM you have the more apps you can keep open. With less RAM (like my previous phone, Galaxy S, which had only 330 MB available), the apps have to be unloaded from RAM when you open a new one, so the CPU works more, loading apps again and again.
The RAM contains compiled apps and cached data, to make access faster and save battery, it's good that it's used. Android manages the RAM itself, if you launch an app that needs RAM, it will make room for it, discarding the least used pages. You don't need to take care of this yourself.
In the Samsung system administrator there's a button to clear RAM, press it and it will unload even the touchwiz interface, you'll end up with 400 MB used, but it will increase soon, as apps are opened.
The issue is that when you run a high resource game, have a few web pages open or use google earth then the device closes down touchwiz to free up memory so you may find your homescreen empty or on other occassions android closes the internet application if you switch to another program even briefly so multitasking is poor on the Note.
Its absolutely true,RAM management is implemented very badly on the GNote.Even my HD2 has much much better RAM management with its mere 480MB.
However since this is my first Android device I am not quite sure if this is a Samsung thing or an OS inconvenience.
On my HD2 I could keep multiple web pages open for latter offline reading when internet access is not available and it would keep it in memory even though many services would still be running.
Unfortunately its not the same with my Note,it just rushes to close apps on the first occasion.
Say what you may but being a long time PDA user I found that the old shot-in-the-head by its very same creator the Windows Mobile is the best multitusker I have ever used despite the fact that on those days the RAM was just minimal.
High RAM usage is due to the high number of pixels that need RAM & processing to drive them.
On my old stock rom (KKA) I had the same....usually over 600Mb used.
A few days ago I flashed the latest LA4 stock rom. And what a big improvement that was. Smoother, 2 days on a battery with moderate use. And about 420MB ram used on average. A very big improvement.
I think it would be better if we know which version you have.
So you could upgrade to a newer version or just flash a custom rom.
most of the customroms are better than the stockrom

Yup, that's also correct.
I'm currently still using my Nook Color as 7" device and it works well, but I've outgrown the performance a long time ago. The Nexus 7 with Tegra 3 really seems to bump the performance and I already like the 7" form.
When I see the Nexus 7 Screen in videos it actuallly looks like the screen is noticeably smaller than my Nook Color's screen. I don't know if it's the jellybean software or something in the way the Nexus 7 was designed.
My questions are
1) Is my smaller screen perception accurate ?
In terms of daily use, is the screen size pretty much exactly as my Nook Color's, or is there something in the design / or software that makes the usable screen on Nexus 7 that's smaller than my Nook ( still haven't seen one in person yet ).
2) When using a browser other than Chrome ( i.e. Mozilla, Opera, Dolphin ), how usable is flash on this device ( one that's not rooted ). I rely on flash quite a bit in my daily use, and wouldn't want the device if it doesn't fully support Adobe Flash right now.
Thanks
Can't answer your first question because the Amazon products aren't marketed here, but as for your flash question, I use flash on a non-rooted device as well. Works pretty well, though you need to use it on a browser that isn't Chrome (the default browser, which no longer supports flash). I use the mobile version of Firefox, which works plenty well with flash so far.
To install flash:
1. Download the apk on your tablet
2. Install flash by checking allow off market applications in settings, and finding the apk using a file viewer such as Astro
3. Install a non chrome browser (such as Firefox). For firefox, you might want to go to settings to allow all plugins, or you will have to press 'allow this plugin' everytime flash is used.

Are you rooted with a custom ROM? Stock? Which Android version? Need a little more info.
In general, slowness can be caused by many factors, but in my experience, most slowness comes from having too many apps running, taking up precious CPU cycles. If you're comfortable with the command line, run the "top" command to see what's taking up CPU.
Example: top -n 1 | head -15
The third column is how much the app is using CPU.
If you're not comfortable with the command line, then find an app that will list CPU %. I found this, never used it : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.francisn.top
Or, factory reset your N10 and install the game that you had problems with to see if it runs fine. If it does, add apps back until you find the app that's slowing the game.

Hi,
Did you use it paired with celular phone (bluetooth) or with a SIM installed ?
If paired, how notifications happen in watch ? Whatsapp and Social Network apps (Facebook, Twitter, ...) appears fine ?
I had a Moto 360 and purchased a Lemfo Lem5 last week.

i am using it Bluetooth, and in my opinion the battery is not that big to handle the 3G network for complete day without charge.
pairing works fine, but notifications are one-way only. you read the notification on the watch but can't reply. Actually the way notifications are pushed is like the lock screen, i.e. for whatsapp if it's the one notification you can read the message otherwise it'll just say two new messages.
for me the biggest disappointment was not able to sync the fitness data to cell phone. Do you know any apps which can do that?

2 - way Notification App for Lemfo Lem5? SwappLINK?
Hi all
I was wondering if there is an alternative to the Lemfo notification app that you can recommend? One that supports sending message replies, using the watch speaker and mic to make and answer phonecalls via bluetooth from the phone and choosing which phone apps can send notifications. Swapplink used to do all of that but is no longer on google playstore. I am sure I can download the APK but it looks like it hasnt been updated since 2014. Any suggestions? I can only seem to find BTNotifier or Android Wear apps...
My number is through Google Voice, so I text and call using Hangouts. Is Hangouts usable on the LEM5 and does it fill the display, or am I going to have a tiny little square I have to deal with?
I have mine since 15 days ago, well my opinion is the following, before this use a pebble time, I would not catalog the LEM5 as a smartwatch, it is more a smartphone that is worn on the wrist, smartwatch applications do not They work correctly, but the smartphone if they work correctly, you can have whatsapp independent of the phone and because it has a simcard slot, and so for all applications in the store, whether games or others, the negative point is that Are not optimized for round screen, and in some cases can not be used, virtual keyboards do not show all keys, fleksy and minuum (the complete) work well, touchpal is the best.
*The notifications of the phone to the clock, in case of whatsapp only show the text of the message, and not who sends it. The battery does not last more than 20 hours using it in airplane mode, under normal use 15 hours maximum.
To summarize, is a small smartphone that receives notifications from another smarphone, its worth the price and the screen is beautiful and there are many themes to download and it is fun to use, and try to run applications in round screen when they are designed for rectangles

What you have done here is collected just about all the copyright protected faces and launchers ever made and distributed them without permission.
You do not own any of them. You did not make any of them and you have been reported - not just to the XDA admin team but to outside agencies as well.
What did you think you were doing ? It's a blatant act of piracy .......
Hi all i am not able to connect lemfo lem5 smart watch with android phone (HTC desire 10).I tried many BT notification app but not able to pair .
Can any buddy tell me which app needs to be installed.
You need a LEMFO App in your phone:
Just open LEMFO watch App in your watch, down to the "Download Mobile app" with the QR image, capture the QR image with a QR App in your phone. You will be redirected for downloading and installing the app
Very detailed review
Hello all,
I have a Lemfo lem 5 for about one month now and i think i can do a detailed review of it, maybe will be useful for some people.
On the first day i became very disappointed with the battery, even without turn the wifi of 3g , the clock worked for about 4 or 6
hours, but after some time i've done a factory reset and discovered that some apps that i've installed , consumes battery even with the wifi
turned on, like skype for example, and other apps that give symlinks on the launcher for fast productivity. The best i could do, was using
apps tested for using on it. So now i can have one or two battery charges on a day. The charge otherwise is very fast, in one hour it is
fully charged. I've liked a lot of the tip for the touchpal keyboard that i 've read on the forum, so i 've entered here to add my
experience and ask other questions too.
I've installed the sim card on it, the quality of the call is good, the microphone is very good but the sound of the speaker is a
little ugly. The contacts for the call, the volume button and the keyboard on the call, i've liked. The SMS app is beautiful and work well.
The 3g works well (I had to add the APN from my pstn country) but drain a lot of battery, so i turn on the 3g, do what i have to do, and turn
it off (And turn battery economy on again).
It has some apps that came with it like a file manager (Simple but works), video player (Plays the normal mobile codec videos, fits
well but do not play external .srt subtitles) and the Music player (Simple but works well, even in background).
Using it paired with the phone was not a good experience, it is better standalone, more like a mobile phone watch.
Android apps that i am using:
Mobizen Mirroring - Can control the watch on the windows desktop screen, it worked very good, you can see the watch screen and control it.
Youtube : The clock give you 2 options to handle android third apps, you can use it in square screen (Becomes small to see, but you
have the full view and full control of the app) or you can use it like a Rounded view (That is the default, the problem is that you can lose
some parts of the view). The problem with this app is that on full screen, the video play on the wrong side of the screen.
Netflix: using the square view , it is usable, but like the youtube, it plays on the wrong side of the view. If you take the watch off
of the pulse, the video becomes good to see (But obviously very small).
Touchpal: Tip from someone on this forum, the keyboard becomes much larger so you can type better on the small screen, until now i
couldn't see any unnecessary battery drain.
Whatstablet: That app is like a whatsapp web, because i want to see the whatszap on the watch only once in a while, i didn't want to
have the original whatsapp installed on it because of the battery drain, so i've installed my original whatsapp on a old mobile (With a
battery problem) so it stays at home in the internet all the time, and i use this whatstablet app on the watch, that is like a whatsappweb
for mobile that could fit on the watch (Very small but usable), using the square view only. This app i am using just for the moment, i am
trying to find something that fits better using the Rounded view.
Games i've installed that was very good : Make 7 and Sonic Dash. It is playable. Not every android game works on this watch, a lot
of then, are opened on the wrong side of the screen, or do not open at all.
Issue after updating firmware Lemfo LES1
I just finished updating the firmware of my Lemfo LES1 (051517) and everythings seemed to have worked out OK.
I can see the new firmware version in About Watch. I can also see the new "clockskin" folder added when checking under File Manager, but when I connect the watch via USB to my laptop, I can't see that folder; all the other folders listed in File Manager, are visible in the indows File Explorer. Any idea as of why this is happening and how to fix?

This is a known issue, wrong folder permissions.
You should copy the files in a different folder, then move them with the file manager on the watch

turned on, like skype for example, and other apps that give symlinks on the launcher for fast productivity. The best i could do, was using
apps tested for using on it. So now i can have one or two battery charges on a day. The charge otherwise is very fast, in one hour it is
fully charged. I've liked a lot of the tip for the touchpal keyboard that i 've read on the forum, so i 've entered here to add my
experience and ask other questions too.
I've installed the sim card on it, the quality of the call is good, the microphone is very good but the sound of the speaker is a
little ugly. The contacts for the call, the volume button and the keyboard on the call, i've liked. The SMS app is beautiful and work well.
The 3g works well (I had to add the APN from my pstn country) but drain a lot of battery, so i turn on the 3g, do what i have to do, and turn
it off (And turn battery economy on again).
It has some apps that came with it like a file manager (Simple but works), video player (Plays the normal mobile codec videos, fits
well but do not play external .srt subtitles) and the Music player (Simple but works well, even in background).
Using it paired with the phone was not a good experience, it is better standalone, more like a mobile phone watch.
Android apps that i am using:
Mobizen Mirroring - Can control the watch on the windows desktop screen, it worked very good, you can see the watch screen and control it.
Youtube : The clock give you 2 options to handle android third apps, you can use it in square screen (Becomes small to see, but you
have the full view and full control of the app) or you can use it like a Rounded view (That is the default, the problem is that you can lose
some parts of the view). The problem with this app is that on full screen, the video play on the wrong side of the screen.
Netflix: using the square view , it is usable, but like the youtube, it plays on the wrong side of the view. If you take the watch off
of the pulse, the video becomes good to see (But obviously very small).
Touchpal: Tip from someone on this forum, the keyboard becomes much larger so you can type better on the small screen, until now i
couldn't see any unnecessary battery drain.
Whatstablet: That app is like a whatsapp web, because i want to see the whatszap on the watch only once in a while, i didn't want to
have the original whatsapp installed on it because of the battery drain, so i've installed my original whatsapp on a old mobile (With a
battery problem) so it stays at home in the internet all the time, and i use this whatstablet app on the watch, that is like a whatsappweb
for mobile that could fit on the watch (Very small but usable), using the square view only. This app i am using just for the moment, i am
trying to find something that fits better using the Rounded view.
Games i've installed that was very good : Make 7 and Sonic Dash. It is playable. Not every android game works on this watch, a lot
of then, are opened on the wrong side of the screen, or do not open at all.

Hello,
Thanks for your excellent review.
Do you Know if it's possible to keep le clock on the screen, with less Light when the watch is on sleeping mode ? Because it switch Black when sleeping and need to push button to see the hour.
Thanks
