anyone come across any solutions to the abysmal disk performance when free space is less than 3gb or so? its made my tablet almost totally useless - 16 gb version, unlocked and rooted but stock rom/kernel.
thanks!
Check out the lag thread in the general section.

This memory issue is really annoying and frusterating. Do you think there will be a way devloped that is like a "one click fix" kind of thing anytime soon? its hard to imagine that such a nice tablet has such crappy memory
"This memory issue" you're referring to is?????

The tablet has 1GB of memory, the same as almost every other product out there except a few from Samsung (SGS3, Note 2, maybe one more). Even the Nexus 7 has 1GB of memory, so are you saying it has memory issues too? What about the Galaxy Nexus, or SGS2?
what i mean is..is there a more direct and simpler route to change where automatically nandroid backups, apps, settings etc....
only memory issue I find with my supposed 1GB memory on my tablet and on my Galaxy Nexus phone is the one that takes 300MB away from the the total amount of memory reported by the phone's settings (and any other app that looks at the hardware)... Cannot wait for Jellybean to come out for the Tab 2 10.1, it fixed all my issues with my Galaxy Nexus that could be fixed...
The Nexus 4 comes with 2GB ram, that's awesome. What I want to know, however, is how much of that is actually available after booting? I was looking at my girlfriend's Galaxy Nexus, which has 1GB ram, and she has just under 200MB ram free with Android 4.2. Does this translate to 1200MB free on the nexus 4, or does it simply gobble the ram that you have up, regardless?
As the nexus 4 isn't available unless you pay extortion prices on ebay, I need to find out if it'll be worth waiting for, or if I should simple settle for a 1GB phone.
I havent rebooted the phone for a couple of days now. Also im using a live wallpaper plus a couple of services like skype/lightflow/facebook etc etc.
The multitasking on this device is unmatched. Do not settle for a 1GB RAM device .

:crying: That's both what I was hoping for and what I was afraid of. I don't want to settle for a 1GB device, but as google is completely unable to deliver this phone, I may soon not have a choice. It also doesn't help that my colleague at work got his nexus 4 the other day... Perhaps I'll just have to bite the bullet and get it off of eBay? Any sellers in Berlin, Germany wanting to part with theirs?
never run out of ram or even gone below 500mb free ram on the n4. even with ****loads of apps, games and heavy duty work running in the bg...
I know what you mean. This phone is such a great device and the price is unbelievable, but the problem lies with actually getting one(unless you live in the US). I myself had to get one through a relative of mine who lives in the US, and i had him send it all the way to Jordan .. Its worth it though ^^`.
If you could get one off ebay for like $50 more than the Play Store's price, get it. My opinion …

Bit the bullet
In the end I bit the bullet and got mine on eBay. I ended up paying a 110 EUR premium, but that's only 11 EUR more than I would have paid if I'd gone to the store and gotten a GSIII, and that only has 1 GB of RAM...
I just hope that I get what I think I'm getting, and not a box of spiders or something...
At boot, i usually have about 1.4gb free with about 130 apps

The adreno 320 GPU can handle almost anything, I don't get any lag on HD games such as Real Racing 3. The RAM isn't an issue, 2gb is more than enough. I got 12.92 GB available storage on my 16GB unit.

Yeah it does. My Nexus 4 has about 1.2GB - 1.5GB RAM permanently free, it can get a bit annoying lol as Android historically was supposed to utilize all the RAM to increase speed.
Hi guys.
I've been quite bothered by the fact that 4gb ram phones coming up, so I decided that I would do a test on how my LG phone handles the ram. I hope some experienced android users can clarify this for me because the only other android device I've had is a android tablet which I've played quite a bit with on my own.
I thought I wanted to do a stress test to see of the device would lag after having used all available ram. Problem is just I wasn't able to use all ram even with over a dozen open apps and so on. While I now have clarified that more than 2gb of ram really isn't needed ATM I would really love an explanation of why I wasn't able to get below 400 Mb free ram. When using the device normally I occasionally see only 300 Mb of free ram. Anyway the device was still working smoothly without lags and stutter

just the way android ram works really. Its different then windows, where no free ram means performance issues. Like no free disk space on Iphones.
