What is taking up all my RAM? (Phone very slow after unlock) - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I feel like my phone has been running a lot slower than it used to. And on checking the running services I find that the numbers don't add up.
The total memory of running services doesn't match what's displayed on the bottom. Anyone know why that is or if this is on fact the reason things are so slow?

It doesn't show the amount of ram that the gpu is taking (think it's taking ram down to 35x mb) and android's share (reducing by ~150-200mb to 150-200 left).
So you're free to allocate approx 150-200mb for your custom apps. Your apps using approx 105ish, that's 45-99mb left, plus some background system apps. Seems you're ok overall, but as long as there's ram left the phone shouldn't slow down (even then the slow down isn't for long as Android will start cleaning ram automatically).

Thanks for your reply.
So, if it's probably not a RAM issue. What could be causing my phone to slow down? It's so bad, it's nearly unusable. Even locking/unlocking see some lag. It's weird because it runs blazingly quick for some time and then after I've left the phone alone for awhile. It's really slow when I unlock. Maybe the phone is having issues coming out of sleep? Any way to check/remedy this?

Sometimes when I flash a new kernel my frequancies go down without any reason, so I have to go back to setcpu and adjust them.

same problem
I'm experiencing the same issue. My ram usually reads really low on seeCPU. I always thought that my phone was slow because of that...
It appears not a lot of people are having this problem, so if anyone can provide some insight, that would be incredible!

[Q]Removed apps data usage? Maybe the battery bug of ics?

70mb of traffic for removed apps process? Why do we even need that? Even if we need it some way why is it done ALL THE WAY in background? Dosent that keep the device awake? I got around 100kb/s speed and with a sleeping(screen off) device the speed is even lower. So the traffic could keep the device awake for a long time and kill the battery.
If not, then what on earth is that process and why it eat 70 of my mbs in 2 days?

I have the same information displayed on my handset as seen from OP's screenshots. I'm also interested in knowing what these "removed apps" could be.
The battery drain bug was due to "auto rotation" feature. please check the forums for more details. turn it off to see better battery performance.
lot of Custom ROMs have been released since then which have drastically improved the performance. Apex ROM with Matr1x kernel is what i am using and it doesnot have better drain issues or the "Removed Apps" process that you mentioned in data usage monitoring tool.
I have the same issue, and I can't seem to find a straight answer as to why or what the Removed Apps is doing, can someone please give me a straight explanation?
i think it's the combined data used by apps that used to be installed on your phone...before you removed them.
does that make sense? like if you installed google music and streamed 300MB of music then deleted the app. the app has been removed but the data it used will still be on that billing cycle.
it just doesn't bother to separate it into background and foreground or maybe it can't. data is data once the app is gone.

CPU acting up??

I purchased SetCPU about two weeks ago. I stopped using it because my phone started to get choppy, so i disabled all my profiles and disables start at boot. I kept the widget alive cause i had a free space on my widget screen but since i installed that, i see that the CPU stays a lot at this speed. I rarely see it at 1500mhz. Not sure if its normal

could be that widget isn't refreshing because app is no lo.Ger installed, which is probably the case
yes it is refreshing because the temps keep changing, the app is installed, i just disabled it from managing my cpu but its still there. also, if you knew how setcpu works youd know the max is the highest frequency allowed and the low, the lowest, it is not by any mean a indication of current mhz, so something keeps changing my cpu profile...but what?

You can check your CPU levels with the app cpuspy on the market.

How can you solve it?
Don't let your battery get below 10%?
The system is designed so that when the battery gets too low it turns off a lot of stuff so that the device will last for longer to do what it was actually made for - be a phone.

Indeed often the cpu is slowed down to which would cause lag.
But yes the best thing to stop it would be to keep your phone charged

Question S22 Ultra System UI app

I've been optimizing my S22 Ultra SD and it seems a significant amount of CPU utilization is being chewed up by the Android 12 System UI app. What side effects will occur if it is disabled or can it be specifically fined tuned?
Edit: I'm using Nova for my launcher.

I wouldn't disable it if I were you.
You disable or uninstall anything else? It's obviously "looking" for something, not finding it and trying over and over.

Didn't disable or uninstall anything however I trimmed back some of the s pen features (like provide a warning if s en is left behind among others). Got the results I was looking for in spades.
Edit: by turning off the majority of s pen features the System UI app went from the biggest CPU user to the smallest CPU user! Didn't really need them anyway!
I have multiple Spens, so many of those features don't work anyway. Now you gotta do something about DuckDuckGo. HOLY crap, unless of course your job is searching the internet all day!
Love DuckDuckgo - got the new feature that blocks app trackers enabled so it's always running. Best feature ever.

Question How does this storage info make any sense?

how does having a few hundred megabytes equal 8gb? I have debloated this watch and removed a bunch of crap. Wth
This is apparently typical.
The OS/native apps isn't small, some blame Gookill for this
The sad part is I've already removed everything I can from this watch without breaking functionality

Look at the heavy hitters and see if you can find a way to replace them or live without them.
I run very few Google apps, most are enabled on an as needed basis on my N10+'s. Saves 1-2%@hr SOT, and more at night.

Do you notice a permonce improvement or a less consuming behaviour after debloating, or just more space available? I was thinking about to do it but if there's not much differece leaving aside the space, I prefer let things be like they are.

My wife and I both have this same watch and I really wanted to compare them as mine being debloated and hers not. But honestly it's not a noticeable difference battery-wise
