While messing around in task killer, I saw I only have around 600MB active. Is this common? I know I should have a total of 1024, right? Or is that just how it works?

Some RAM isn't available to the user, it's saved for the system (kernel, cam etc), so it's normal.
But I think I read somewhere that ~700MB should be available to the user on both One X (international and at&t/Rogers)

Can you guys help me? I think my Walkman Z's broken. I went into the running applications menu and checked how much RAM is being used. The Z's supposed to have 1GB of RAM. It showed up as 97MB used and 247MB free. This doesn't add up to 1GB and it's worrying me, I know that the system uses some RAM but 700MB? That doesn't seem right.
Thanks!
I have no idea if something is wrong with your phone.
But.. you can always try to do a factory reset. It´s a good start and then check if there is an update to your phone.
Dont forget to back up your stuff.

I`ve already tried all of those methods. I`m just going to take it to the Sony Store. Hopefully this is covered by warranty.
Ok. I hope it will work out for you.
Let us know whats happens after that
Is strange the ram from 1gb to 97 +250 please let us know what happen.. I think is just one idea if the phone has 2 ram modules of 512 each one of those could fail? And the other one is there.. Is just one idea:banghead:

The ROM wouldn't boot if the RAM was Brocken haha stuff just doesn't break in a phone none of them ram meters is right the only real ones are the ones like in v6 supercharger

I think one of the modules is in fact broken. When using this app it only detects 512MB of RAM. I tested it on my Galaxy Tab and it shows 1GB so the app seems to be accurate.

My PC boots with one ram chip. Why wouldn't it be possible for a cell phone to do the same?

But ohhoho a phone isnt a PC it doesn't have a bios that would recognise the ram first of all or that its even gone. All the parts on the phone work in harmoney and when something internal breaks the whole phone does. And the ram is built into the motherboard so that would mean you have a broke motherboard. Do you really think the phone will function then? Please try to use a little sense lol.

I'm actually using some sense. Ram chips do go bad. If there's disk 512mb chips n one went bad then he wouldn't have 1gb ram. They go bad for many different reasons thus not affecting the motherboard. The only problem is you can't swap out ram like you can with a PC.
You say a cell phone ain't a PC but android is a form of Linux. Linux doesn't need a bios to work. Allot of devices out there run a form of Linux without a bios. Wi-Fi routers, cable boxes, ps3, blu-ray players, Nintendo Wii , etc etc.......
I've had devices where the ram has gone bad n they still worked. Just not at a 100%. I'm speaking for experience n knowledge. I'm a developer for android. I work with the ROM n kernel source code. All the devices I have worked on I haven't seen no fail safe in the android source code that will prevent the phone from booting. I have seen the code that loops at the ram n reports the ram found.

I'm going to the Sony Store today, gonna see what they have to say about this.
They told me that they've repaired it, I bet they didn't do anything
Hello.
I used to get around 600MB free ram when I got my phone with around 10 applications installed while mobile is idle.. Now I get around 1GB free ram after using greenify application and disable some useless system applications.
I really like greenify.

Has anyone tried this on their PC? It's supposedly better than bluestacks but on my laptop with an AMD A8 processor and 4 Gb of RAM it is so slow. After contacting the developers on their site, I still haven't heard anything from them after 4 days.

I use it on my laptop with an i5 processor and 4 gigs of ram and the only thing that i have problems with is a little bit of a lag when i play clash of clans, other than that it is flawless for me. now i just need to figure out how to set up the 1clicksync feature. Any suggestions?
Guys have you noticed internal storage on the phone has 11GB occupied by the firmware . any way we can clean this ? i think 11GB just for firmwre is a bit overkill
For reference the Oneplus 3t has just about the same amount reserved for the system. Whether or not it's overkill is irrelevant. There's no way to easily adjust this. Don't forget that you have expandable storage so it's not a big deal.

I have to agree. 11Gb still leaves a huge amount of storage available especially if you store all your media on a removable SD card.
I was using a Galaxy S7 Edge with 32Gb internal memory. With Gear VR apps and games, it was a challenge to keep free space above 2Gb! But I managed just fine.
