Hi, I've been using my D2G for about a couple of weeks.
Previously I suffered RAM shortage with my original Droid(since it only had 256MB of RAM)
When I switched to D2G, I had much more space for multitasking apps to fit in
but I still couldn't break my old habit of constantly killing unimportant apps using System Panel.
But I had problem of deciding which of the system apps I shouldn't mess with.
Currently I excluded most of the running apps that seemed important.
Can anyone tell me which of these I can kill?

Hello Guys...I'm new here and I hope that we can benefit greatly from each other.
Any way I have a Question and I hope you answer it for me.
I had a galaxy s and I noticed when I open the Android Assistant App (Task Manager, App Uninstaller..etc), I find lots of apps that are running without opening them. Resulting a decrease of my ram. Now I'm using an XPERIA X10 and my ram is 384mb approx. How Can I Prevent Those Apps From OPENING?
Most of them aren't actually running, they're just cached.
It happens so that if you want to run one of these, it doesn't have to be read from internal memory, and it'll load much faster. And they can be removed from memory without delay if you want to run something else.
There is no reason to remove them from memory just so you can have more. The only reason to do so would be if one of them is misbehaving and draining battery or making the phone lag.
Hello everyone
i have noticed something strange about the RAM available, if I go into settings-applications-services running: ram, 211 MB used 80MB free.
If you instead use Android system info I see: 37 MB free RAM
Why this? I have 2.3.4 stock
sorry my bad engish
try terminating cached programs. also, remove unnecessary apps. dont use task killers/managers etc. they are unnecessary. linux is smarter than us. dont use security services unless you frequently visit suspect sites and dl apps w/out research. see which programs are consuming ram and search for solutions. last resort, hard reset. if it persists or low ram issues arise when stock, time for a new one. good luck.
The nexus S has 345MB for the OS and apps, rest is used by the hardware (mostly by the GPU), you will never have access to it.
Your situation is perfectly fine, the biggest memory hog is the browser. I recommend auto memory manager (free on market) and set the empty application line to 80mb.
The services are killed automaticly by android, no need for task managers, but the limit is set to 80mb instead of 24mb. You will still run into memory leaks eventually, but not really at 30mb left.
Thanks to all
I do not use task killer, using linux for 4 years , i try Auto Memory Manager. see if the situation improves.
Hi I have galaxy y and I read it's phone specification online before buying it. the online specification all says that it has 512mb of ram. But after I bought the phone, task manager shows that the phone only contain two hundred something of total memory.so where is the remaining gone? Is there any way to gain them? Like uninstalling what from system? I have rooted my phone but I don't want use swap as well. I want the original ram memory to the maximum available. Any help would be appreciated.
It's used by all those system apps running in the background. Like launcher, phone, messages and stuff. 200mb is a decent amount of RAM (considering it has oly 512 mb). If u want more ram try using a light weight launcher, a custom rom helps too (as in stock rom they put a lot of unwanted stuff into it).
Hey all,
After a frustrating month or two and a weekend of tinkering and troubleshooting I've lost patience and posted the below on the Moto support forums at https://forums.motorola.com/posts/c5fb348e02
So if you are experiencing similar issues please weigh in. If you have any ideas or a fix /workaround that doesn't involve rooting or custom Rom installation please let me know (I need access to my internet banking apps so root is a no no for the time being).
Hey Moto,
Why is the OOM/LMK with 5.0.2 so aggressive (XT1032) ? Multi-tasking wasn't great under KitKat but under Lollipop it's pretty much impossible. The most obvious and irritating symptom for me is music playback being killed within a few minutes (Play Music) if something like Chrome or Maps is open in the foreground. I used to be able to have navigation and music running in the car at the same time - no more.
So I've been on Lollipop for about 2 months now. The phone has been factory reset three times since and the last time I didn't use Google's Restore service post reset.
The observed symptoms are: The phone is quite happy whilst free memory is above about 250MB-300MB, nothing is killed and the phone maintains a healthy stash of cached apps. If free memory drops below about 250MB Android starts killing rather than caching and Developer Options/Process Stats reports the phone to be in a near permanent memory critical state. Why? There is still 1/3 of the installed RAM left - it shouldn't start killing background apps until sub 50MB is left surely?
I've uninstalled some of my less essential high priority user background apps (bye bye Muzei live wallpaper, by bye Dash Clock Widget) to make things bearable - it's memory critical about 20% of the time rather than 80% now - but it's ridiculous to have to limit oneself so much - 1Gb of memory should be sufficient to run a live wallpaper, a widget and one or 2 other relatively heavy background apps without crippling the device and it was sufficient under KitKat.
So can we expect a fix for this with 5.1 if it is coming our way? One potential clue - CyanoMod Developers have noted odd permissions, and if the permssions are fixed some crappy values in /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree - the permissions make the files unreadable. CM12.1 reportedly patches this and cures the crappy multitasking.
I've checked on my unrooted stock device and sure enough these parameter files are unreadable (other parameters in various parts of system / sys etc can be opened as read only).

Is there a way to set hard limits on how much RAM individual Android apps can use? Seems most apps are greedy, and I'm running out of RAM, which makes switching between the apps I am currently using slow.
I used Titanium Backup to freeze all apps I don't use frequently, and now my ram usage is down to about 50%, where it used to be around 90%.
I also use an app called Auto Memory Manager, which controls Android's own memory management. You can tell it to free memory sooner than later, for different types of memory categories. But what made the most difference was freezing apps with Titanium Backup.
I'd still like to know if there is a memory policing app, but the aforementioned are good solutions.
