Hi guys, I got this phone last night and I just saw how high the usage on the ram is.. it goes about 1.4 gigs almost and I got the 32gb vs which only comes with 2gigs of ram.. I don't know if that's normal or it's a memory leak.

You don't have to worry about RAM usage. It will be handled by Android automatically. If you feel lag, then it should be a concern for you. I am using 4gb and 2.5gb is consumed most of the times.

just got the new pure from at&t and my ram usage keeps goin up even though im not running any programs any ideas?
Yea flash it with one of the roms on this website lol itll be much faster
I am using a motorola defy + on stock rom.My phone has a hardware of 512 mb ram...but only 475 mb or so is available..and when the phone is running...i am without even any games..or big applications or softwares..the amount of free ram available is only 30-40 mb or so..out of the 475 mb..440 mb gets used up by the phone itself..
i run swiftkey and go sms and go launcher always..I also run a live wall paper..i use a app called ram booster for clearing up ram but the constant auto boost keeps lowering down my battery very fast..nowadays.i get only 24 hours of battery on normal use. ..previously the phone would run for 2 days
The low availability of my ram makes my phone lag and I cant play games as the phone tends to hang.please help me with a good solution for clearing up or increasing the availibility of free ram!!
I am using latest wiui Rom with adw launcher. Allways 150 to 200 mb ram available.

Try rooting and using the new ROMs.... 4.1.2 is beautiful and smooth..... good battery life and with a few changes at the system level u get about 200Mb free ram and good performance were other great battery life

I have a green lens Defy. When I installed CM7.2 Stable build, the total RAM available was shown as 395 or 400 (dont remember the exact value). I checked in "manage applications> Running". But when I installed CM10 (18th Oct build), the total RAM available was shown as 475. Did anyone face this issue in CM7.2?

Can u tell what are the changes that needs to be done to get more free RAM and to improve the battery life?
I'm using CM7 by maniac, and there are 171MB of free RAM (running 14 apps).
I do not recommend the use of task killers, instead try changing the mim_free values using Auto Memory Manager.
i just flashed my defy + with cm9 Quarx...it was succesful and am now enjoying ics..please tell about the bugs in cm9
and the process of going back to stock rom!
Hey guys, what's normal ram usage for you?
Cause to me, what I'm getting seems higher than it should be.
I'm seeing well in excess of a gigabytes used when I'm not doing anything on it, even after I first restart, there's around a gig used. I removed apps I don't use, I'm running the latest release of PACrom, here's a screenshot I just took.

Also battery usage always seems high, could that be related possibly?

1.3Gig is usually normal for touchwiz but for AOSP not try changing the Rom and see as for the battery check what apps are draining it
Yeah, that's normal.Mine is using 1 gib and I don't have any apps running.

My run is AOSP based, and according to the settings, the screen uses most of it.
But I rarely have the brightness up high, and often battery widget says I'm using in excess of 1300mah D:

I'm using stock ROM with Deodexed and Zipaligned apps, My RAM is 0.8GB when no apps is opened, and it goes to 1GB when few apps are opened
That is NOT NORMAL AT ALL... Using aosp based Roms like pacman and slim bean I have an average of 400mb used and like 1.4 free... I don't think I've ever passed 800mb running an aosp ROM or any ROM for a matter a fact... Check to male sure it doesn't count cached apps cause that takes up around a gig sometimes...
..... its normal if you have some widget running....

There is no reason to care about ram usage on a Linux system.
In Linux, unused ram is wasted ram.
Using all your ram doesn't mean no more ram is available. It means that the system is storing everything its done recently in ram so its more quickly accessed if you try to use it again. If your ram is full and you need to do something else the system will effectively and efficiently push the lowest priority task out of ram to free up more for the new task.
Using all your ram does NOT slow the system down. It is not like Windows where freeing up ram makes everything run faster.
All this monitoring ram is pointless in a Linux based OS.

I fully agree with your clear explanations but in my case when I reach low memory level like 100 Mg the camera doesn't fully start (black window).
I am forced to reboot or clean as well.
I feel something is weird in this phone memory managment. (GT9500 model for me)

Best answer ive seen c:
This takes me to my other question of could this be affecting battery life ?
Ive had the battery go from 100% down to 85% in a space of 20 minutes, with brightness on auto, and only using one app (LINE) :c
I remembered seeing other peoples comments on using only a few hundred meg of ram, and also seeing compliments on the battery life of the rom (PACrom) around those same posts, So im trying to figure out how to prolong my battery life as its pretty important to me, I dont really get a chance to charge throughout the day D:

Can anyone of you download advance task killer from the android market/Google Play. Download and could you check how many memory do you have? When I bought my note, I had only 40% of memory available on my phone, which means about 800 MB, and I couldn't take advantage the rest of the 2+GB memory because phone has couple hundred apps preinstalled... Now I started clearing and un installing all these unnecessary apps and now I have about 1.6 GB memory available on my phone, and as a result of that I was able to get two days battery every day. Basically I can't finish my battery in one day regardless of the usage, which is really good....

Zip aligning the apps should give you more RAM as well. but yeah, hibernating with greenify and freezing apps really cleans the used RAM footprint up and gives you much improved battery.

Don't worry about it, in Android free memory is wasted memory. This is how the sistem works... and it works well.

That's true to an extent. However when you have apps sitting in the memory using it all up then other apps will be automatically killed and this will cause redraws and extra time loading the app again. This happened on the 2gb version of the G3 which had a lot of launcher redraws because of all the bloatware. It's still best to get rid of bloatware so it doesn't reside in the RAM and cause apps you actually use to get killed.

My freshly restarted note 4 shows 2.1 used out of available 2.7. There is an extreme amount of bloat and note specific apps running in TW that cannot be easily killed if at all.

Antutu widget has the memory cleaner. I use only before games like Galaxy on Fire 2 HD, or if I run a benchmark. But debloated android you should leave alone memory unless you need many ram for specific app. Cleaning memory will consume your battery as CPU work harder reloading everything.
Note 4 debloated has much memory requirments. Android design handles that and it works good debloated. Android RAM is never should be in your mind as it works on PC.

"Cleaning memory will consume your battery as CPU work harder reloading everything" Actually my experience tells me different than what you're saying. When I bought my note 4 my battery was very bad, I could't use it even one day, but now and after I compulutely removed all bul..... apps my phone gives me Two days normal usage or a day of crazy usage.......

That is so good. I am receiving 24 hour but with 1x mobile here in Phillipines that is good. Very much demand user I am being. Note 3 I only have 12 hour.
But I am referring to cleaning memory on debloated the device. On bloated device cleaning memory is helpful
Just got a new s6 edge+ and absolutely blown away with the phone as a whole.
Only problem/issue is the RAM usage. I'm a light user for 90% of the day and i have barely any apps installed, yet the RAM is always above 50% even when all apps are closed and i 'clean' the RAM. Average RAM usage is 75%. 3GB?!?
Is this normal to all other users? My thought are that it could be a false reading. Or that it could be dummy using RAM and reassigns it to wherever needs it when any high usage apps run.
I am a UK user and the only update applied was a carrier pushed update. (E.g. i havent done any updates myself or messed around with the phone).
Attached is a screenshot of my kernal and baseband versions for anyone interest.
Any thoughts would be appreciated, thanks, Zack.
I see the same on my SM-G9827 phone.It opens around 30 apps in background.If you clean them regularly it kills the battery.Its better to leave them like that.I am getting 6 hours SOT with 3 % left if i leave them as it it.
Ram is ment to be used. To make apps open fast when you need them. A lot of free ram does not make your phone faster AFAIK. So keep those apps running and enjoy a fast phone!

I agree.
RAM is meant to be used, you've got 4GB of it. The OS has been optimised to kill any processes that haven't been used if memory is filling up. Forget about saving RAM and focus on enjoying the device.
