total RAM

why my Note only has 800mb total RAM? Shouldn't it be 1024mb/1gb? Is this the same for everyone?

They round it up.

It is advertise as having 1024MB RAM. I feel that is false advertising when it really came with only 800MB. Even rounded up, that is a big different.

I think its the "drivers" that take up the missing 200mb! Hardcore Rom cookers can slim down the drivers giving a few extra MBs! Not any here Yet!

It has 1024mb, but because the kernel and os need to use some, not all of it is available for your apps.

yea, that seems to be the likely explanation. and I'm running 2.3.5 currently, and usually its using 400 to 500 at any given time, with only the browser and maybe one app running. any suggestions as to what can be forced closed or disabled to increase RAM available?

You will need root to get rid of system apps and most pre-installed apps. You can use Titanium Backup to "freeze" any apps and widgets you don't use (also requires a rooted device). As for which apps to freeze, look at what's running on your device with an app manager like SystemPanel Lite, and decide what you don't need from that list.

LOL
Some memory is shared with GPU

Why? What's the point of having lots of RAM if you don't use it? Want to keep some for a rainy day?
Seriously, don't think about it. It will drive you crazy. And do not start using a task manager. I will smack you hard.

Its like that for every device, much of ram goes into graphics and android os other ram that u always see full in that 800 mb are the system apps.

Yup, and i imagine TW is using a lot of it too. For comparison when i run MIUI on my Desire HD (with 768MB RAM) i have around 400MB when i boot it up. With Sense it only got around 160MB left.
But again, don't worry about it! Android handles it.

So is the only benefit of more ram the ability to have more open applications? That seems kind of silly. I use tasker and I still get low memory notifications on my note?

Which is the exact same purpose of more RAM on a desktop... either more applications or heavier applications. Since the latter don't exist for mobiles, it's the former. Wth did you think it was for, making it shiny?
Protip tough: Go Launcher Ex has a "close all running applications" on it's app drawer. Sometimes, depending on how long I've gone without doing this (on my Atrix) it goes from 180 free MB to over 500 free MB (which is the maximum free you get considering the 800 total for Apps).

Um! Multitasking is silly?
Ok, do it the hard way.

So this discussion again... every single android device gets this.
The RAM that you "can't see" is used by system apps, drivers and the kernel.
1gb is plenty even with some RAM used already. By default Android never closes apps but instead keeps them open in the background thus "eating" RAM to enable faster multitasking. Rarely will you face a situation when the used memory gets too low, and in most cases Android takes care of that by shutting down less important and unused apps itself. If you for some reason have a fetish to see all the RAM unused and available, then you either:
a) Are a PC gamer (Android doesn't have games heavy enough to eat up tons of memory)
or
b) You don't understand how Android works.
Everyone should understand the one main principle of android:
unused RAM is wasted RAM. There is no point having 1gb, 2gb or 16gb of RAM if it isn't used. And like someone earlier said, the two uses for RAM in Android devices are either multiple applications or heavy applications. There are no heavy enough apps to eat 1gb of RAM, so the amount of applications is what affects the available memory. If you close every app from any task manager etc. then you are in principle destroying the multitasking abilities of Android.
And if you want to shut down apps that eat battery or stop the phone from going to sleep, then I strongly suggest uninstalling those apps instead. Apps that do this when they aren't active are badly coded and should not be used.

The problem with uninstalling those apps is that, sometimes, they're quite unique in function, being unreplaceable. GDocs is an example of a battery hog, and it's substitutes are office applications that cost well over 10US$ and not everyone needs.
But yes, the OS should take care ofmost memory managing issues.

Don't buy the Samsung Galaxy S III (yet) see my screen

This Software is still full of bugs.
The screen below (sry is dutch) shows a screenshot of my Galaxy SII and my Galaxy SIII.
Both run Android ICS
Both have about the same apps installed.
but my SII has 458 MB of free ram and my SIII only 89 MB free ram.
This causes a lot of crashes with the touchwizz.
For a phone costing more then a regular laptop I find this very disappointing.

Might be some of the apps are causing the phone to crash. How was the phone prior to you downloading those apps?

So you are saying not to buy a S3 yet because you are having issues with it? Sorry to hear you are having issues with yours but mine works great! I don't have any issues like you & maybe you should start researching on rooting & using custom ROMs.
Since you didn't specify if you are using a custom ROM or stock, I'm going to assume you are using stock. When I was running stock, I didn't have issues as you either.
Don't cry wolf!

I call complete BS on this whole topic. They are not running nearly the same kind of identical software and the SGS3 has ran great in my hands compared to my Skyrocket.
There are plenty of SGSII vs SGS3 videos and articles on the internet. Don't let this topic discourage you. Do your research.
On my homescreen I have Beautiful Clock widget, FOlder organizer, 5 folders full of apps, Google voice widget, Gmail widget, flip board, pulse, active apps widget, S Calendar widget, Music widget, Negative colors, assentive light, google search with a live wallpaper (Captain America).
I don't have any lag issues and I haven't noticed any reload issues. Maybe because I sold my Skyrocket and used my Captivate for a long time and the homescreen might be loading way too fast to even notice a reload, but from what I see I have experienced such problems.

Already a few topics on this and tips on how to make the most of the RAM you have.

LOL! Dont buy a pentium pc (yet). My 8086 is less buggy and more reliable. Same goes for my 1988 Ford Fiesta compared to the new new 3 series BM.

That image is showing that your Galaxy S III actually has less usable ram than the Galaxy S II.
I'm assuming your Galaxy S II has a custom kernel, with extra RAM tweaks and more ram allocated from somewhere, no?
Actually, I'd pretty much bet money that it does.
Want a clean comparison? Flash your SGSII to stock, and re-check your RAM
EDIT: Also the reason for the SGSIII having less free ram is because more apps are currently running. Whereas it's clear that your SGSII has less apps running.

... iv also read before that the more RAM being used, the better - better to have the RAM utilised than not with Android OS.

Well I get 2gb or ram.. can I still buy it? Lol

It's nothing no one can say about this phone that will stop me from buying it. I don't care if you get instant diarrhea by touching it. I'll buy it along with some Depends.

I can confirm this is nonsense, not only does my s3 outperform my s2, the day i got it my boss promoted me at work, i won a new car in a lucky draw compettition and a supermodel gave me her number after i saved her dog from being run over by a car, we are now dating. So yes, the s3 has its advantages.

Hey, windows got better at this with 7 and, I assume, 8. Microsoft seems to be embracing this ideal.

May I be so bold to suggest that you should not buy a house. It could burn down. They have not yet find a solution to build a house that is fire proof.
Also..do not stay inside a house. you could get killed from fumes, pollutants and worst, from the house falling on you!
What about the car you drive? You might get a bad tire, brakes not working, engine exploding, etc.
I guess and I hope you get my point! If not....you need help..and badly!

New mobile os "Sailfish OS" thoughts?

I dont know if anyone else has seen the news on a new os called sailfish.. by a company called jolla. I guess they are from old meego times..
Looks like they want it to run on all devices.. and even hope for andtoid apps support..

I don't see much of an opening for a new player in the Smartphone war but good for them for trying.

The name alone is awful. I wouldn't want it on my phone.
FireFox OS maybe.

It's free software, and no DRM, unlike Android. But like Replicant, it won't get market share.

Couple interesting features worth discussion IMO:
"true multitasking" was the main focus. Active programs can be pinned to the homescreen as tiles

I loved MeeGo on my Nokia N9 and its swiping setup. I would love to be able to use it on my Nexus (Sailfish, that is). MeeGo has way better multitasking than Android has.
In my opinion, MeeGo is the OS that just is the most fun to use. Albeit more limiting than Android.

But without any apps to multitask with.
That's why I don't see room for a new player at this stage of the game. Android, iOS and even WP8 to a lesser extent are just too established for a newcomer to compete.

Good point. Though I am not an app person myself. It did have a good Spotify app (homebrew, that could actually search your own offline lists), a working Whatsapp (also way more customizable than any other whatsapp app) etc. It has a fairly strong dedicated community supporting it.
I hope Sailfish can handle Android apps as they claim. There's a Android logo 0:50 into their official introduction movie. I don't thing it will ever get "big". But a nice alternative for phone nerds like me.

Hi,
i'm one of the interested ones.
There is not really a lack of Apps. If we belive what they say, a lot of Android apps should run native on Sailfish. On the other hand there is a good system to port them.
There are not only the Nexus without software keys. The new Motorolla don't have them too. They're also open for developers.

Problem is, Google will not license the play store to them.

So you think it will be to hard for ordinary users to install apps? Don't you think they will create an own store application wich uses the google account of the user to install apps?
Otherwise there is only left to port them.

Props to them for trying. I agree I don't see google letting them into the play store, because frankly it won't help their sales at all. If they deny them play store access, that new os will fade away and be forgotten. If they let it in, then it has potential to grow and be a competitor for google thus taking away from more android licenses being sold.
It will be neat to see, maybe spark ideas for the main 3 os companies to license from and improve. They should change the name so it doesnt sound like you are saying 'selfish' with a strong accent

It will probably function like sideloading apps, youll have to download them to local storage and manually install them. Easy for us, but my parents? Heck no. lol

Looks like Metro and Android had a baby.
Meego should have been alowed to evolve under Nokia.

good os but no devs
hi about the playstore u can hack it to the os and make it think it is running on android and using android phone not a real problem
u can install blackmart alpha or 1mobile market it looks like playstore
the real problem is there is no devs are working on this os!!!!!!!!!!!!!! why i think the android is boring sometimes and had to change it but when i look where to go the ios i hate it (don't ask why) cus i hate this apple but she has a cute phone only the 4s maybe some android ports make it good
tizen looks like bada
bada is app less (no apps)
webos who is care about it
firefox os its only for firefox browser in my mind
wp7/8 it is not open source
so the future os i think sailfish is

Early 5.1.1 review by sammobile

This is why to root and install custom recovery. As soon as somebody puts up we can all have it. Instead of waiting for if ever carriers want to etc.
http://www.cultofandroid.com/73789/this-is-android-5-1-1-running-on-the-galaxy-s6-and-s6-edge/

Is just me or that A-Z on the app drawer is already present? I have it on my phone. T-Mobile

On some variants it already exists. Mine's not one of them (SM-G920F).

Options for removal of the S-Finder and Quick Connect buttons. Finally, without a build.prop workaround.

No mention of ram/memory management fix.
Reassuring.

My app drawer is A-Z the EU unbranded does that if you want to flash it, ....XEU
I literally don't know what sfinder and quick connect are. putting them in the way of everybody doesn't make people press them.
Yes what is going on with the memory? too many apps stay and causes a crash eventually music stops playing doesn't look for next chapter of audiobook. But everything reloads whenever you go back. The worst of both worlds.

It's a feature of 5.1.1, do people not understand its a general android problem on 5.0.x, not just Samsung, and 5.1.1 on any device will fix those problems.

The only thing I care about... Will the HORRIBLE RAM management issue finally be solved as promised by Sammy?? It is unacceptable that a 2015 flagship (especially with the specs of the S6) can't hold more than 3-4 apps in memory!!

It seems the only good multitasking phones now are the HTC M9, LG G4, Zenfone 2 and iPhone 6/6+ (Yes, iOS doesn´t have "true multitasking", but who cares about when you can have a good amount of apps in background without one closing for itself).

Try to use tapatalk, goto your desired forum and open 2 or 3 more apps. This will probably reset tapatalk. Heck, I've used feedly > Chrome > screenshot > back to feedly and feedly would open from a cold start.
Past weekend my gf was taking down notes in church on Samsung memo - left the app and came back to find all her notes erased because the app closed. Ridiculous.
It's just not pleasant to use. And to say the s6e's camera is good is still only about 2~5% of daily usage.

It is a REAL issue for a High End ~$1000 phone with 3GB of RAM that in reality appears to have less than 1GB. I mean, with 3GB you don´t even mind about if the apps are going to get killed or not, it is the last thing you hope for a device like this.

Petition A protest against Huawei/EMUI's old school Multitasking/recent app menu

many of us have had enough, let's face it the old school kitkat style of Huawei's multitasking/recent apps is a joke and destroy the whole workflow and multitasking of the device
My Plan is to collect as many names as possible and I will send it to Huawei.
What makes me angry is that even Huawei 8 seem to have the same multitasking look.
So I will make the same thread in the Mate 8 forum aswell.
Vote in the poll and write in the thread what you voted.
THIS is what multitasking on android SHOULD look like.

Yes I agree. Well the sad part is there is no easy way to get rid of this EMUI multitasking, a different launcher will not help, if you go thru great pain to root the device and modify the software a lot you can get rid of it, but it is not easy. If it was possible to change with laucnher it wold be no problem, unless you root no matter what you do if you push the multitask/recent apps button it will lead to the EMUI recent app pages, which is usless, the main reason for that it lacks of "overview, only "4 taps" are visible, while with android vanilla way you can over 20 tabs or more visible in just an overview, which is very superior, also it goes a lot faster to swipe thru all tabs, while in the EMUI you have to swipe thru packages, this is typical "chinese brainless" software design. That it looks almost the same for the Mate 8 does make me very angry, this is a dealkiller for me, multi tasking is important, I used the LG G3 for 3 months during my Mate 7 was on repair I did really like the standard recent app tabs, it is so superior so much faster and flexible, I have no idea why the chinese do not see this, there is no benifit at all with EMUI's recent apps functionality, it is also to slow and responsive to be useful. it should be fast and snappy as it was on ,y LG G3. Shame on you Huawei...I hope you are reading this.

For multi tasking I have now found a life chahing app..
Really recommend this one!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.echoff.easyswitch&hl=sv
the only downside with it is that the logo looks almost like skype.
Symtoms of using this app is that you very rarely use the home buttton even though I use nova launcher
there is not need to go back to home screen, just one swipe the left and you will get all your app icons ONTOP the screen you are on..
Also super fast to switch between the last used app and the app you are using. both apps are loaded in memory so the translation is seamless.

Mm multitasking image.
