hello guys..
I am new for this forum and also for xperia L
As mentioned in paper it should have 1gb ram..
but i found only 777 mb ram in setting<apps<running<sum of used and free..
and as i have installed whats app.. wechat viber.. it shows only 200mb ram free..
so that in my mobile subway surfer is also not working so smoothly..
so now any solution??
and there is any app which can improve performance.. i have install some app like game booster.. but i have not noticed any improvement..
200mb are for system and for gpu memory
Sent from my Sony Xperia L C2105
we have about 997 or so, which is stated as one GB.
I have about 380 mb free always.
This is enough and subway surfers maay lag because of other things... background processes or so.

so we can play big games like asphalt 7.. mc4 etc on 250 to 280mb free ram??
which site is good to download paid android apps as i mentioned above??
Mc4 is told to run flawlessly, take a look at general section where we have a gaming thread.
My Ram looks like this:
But I have unlocked and rooted as well and removed a lot of bloatware.
We can surely run all games available atm.
I dont play much but shadowgun deadzone runs perfect (also without any modification)

How do you disable ? I have only options to uninstall updates and close the app. No option for disable.

A common misconception with RAM on Android is that higher free RAM is better. Google has commented on this several times publicly, that Windows RAM and Android RAM are not used the same. With Android, it is designed to use as much of the RAM as is reasonable to allow for very quick opening of common and recently used apps - which works perfectly in tandom with Google's design of the right on screen button for recently used apps.
From my experience using 1GB RAM phones on Android, I find that that amount is more than sufficient for Jelly Bean. This, I think is the key point. What amount of RAM is adequate for the OS? Almost every phone on ICS with 512RAM felt slow and laggy to me. I think 1GB is appropriate and also in Jelly Bean while 512 is fine for Gingerbread.
I recently found one app kept waking the CPU. I used Greenify to freeze it. I got a little excited and froze more apps. My phone kept restarting and freezing, RAM went nuts. When stopped intefering with the OS and left everything unfrozen then the phone operated perfectly.

Ever since I upgraded to ICS, RAM consumption is high in my atrix2. It used to have free RAM around 300 to 350 MB but now in ICS the fee RAM is always around 150 to 200 MB.
I am having same apps which I used to have on GB. Nothing changed on my phone. Can anybody advice me whats wrong with my phone?
Ex. Games like Temple Run are little bit sluggish in ICS whereas it was running smoothly in GB even though I had some apps in the background. Now in ICS it is sluggish even though there no other apps running in the background.

We used to have task manager in GB but that's now vanished in ICS.
Can you suggest me any good task manager?

Thanks but that does not provide me any solution.... it just explains the reason for more RAM consumption... I am currently facing lags in games...any suggestion?

Android has its own task manager, which is quite sufficient. What people don't seem to understand about RAM, is that it is meant to be used, not the other way around. Android, like Mac OS and Ubuntu, wants to use all the RAM it can, because that's how it was designed to work. There are settings (in Android we call them "minfree" settings) to tell the system how much RAM to leave free and available, but the rest is designed to fill up as fast as possible and stay that way.
Android can manage memory rather well (and the settings are still there to tweak if you just have to touch stuff) and having up to 300 percent more RAM makes a huge difference. There will be a few times where killing off a handful of tasks will speed things up, but overall you'll get the best performance out of your phone or tablet if you stop worrying about it and let Android be Android. If you need to live on the edge (and I know a lot of you guys do) root and hack your phone with some amazing custom ROM that has everything tweaked and allows you to travel forward in time -- I'm right there with ya, 'cause it's fun as hell.
But don't worry about how many apps are running on your phone, or about using widgets that tell you these things, because it just doesn't matter anymore.

Long press home button, it will appear. Swipe to close apps.
Try with debugging mode enabled along with force GPU rendering from settings...
Task managers/killers are completely useless in android.The only use of task killers is when a rogue app keeps running in background consuming lots of CPU cycles.
After the ics update my phone too was a bit slow but then I factory reset it & then wiped the cache partition. I don't know what did the trick but it works great now.

Go to development, background applications, at most 4.
This way lag will stop.

I can't wait for a CM rom to come for this rom. There's so much junk on this rom I have so much unnecessary stuff running in the background. So 3gig ram and 2.8 is constantly used up. WTF. Battery doesn't even last more than a day. Metadata doesn't work. Friggin annoying.

You'd prefer to have 1GB free ram and lags?
Err there shouldn't be 2.9GB constantly used up... mine uses about 1.3GB avg most of the time less, I'd look into why you're running so much all the time, cause that's not right.
More ram used = faster response for the apps in ram. So if more ram is used means the os is doing its job.

138 apps, 2gb RAM in use, still fast as hell (Nova Launcher). You Do know that RAM Management on Android is not comparable with RAM Management on windows, right?

I would be happy. Anyways, it could either mean that 4.4 is crazy optimized, or you have a bug.

Thanks for the reply to be honest the phone runs great no slowdown at all even switching between apps etc I just was curious never seen so much free ram i'll try a restart eventually in case it is a bug.

Ah I see thanks for the input my ram usage has now gone back to believable levels right now have 730mbs free i didn't have to do anything which is odd thought I would have had to restart the phone or something.
I don't know if it's just me but my phone is using alot of ram (no?). It's like 550-560 while all apps are closed. When I open any app it gets up to 650-700 and the phone goes really slow. Im using stock bulgarian 4.2.2, non-rooted. Apps installed: Viber,WhatsApp,Zedge,Subway Surfers,Candy Crush Saga,Badoo,Clean Master.
Thanks in advance.

I use custom rom and its always like less than 500mb. Is ur rom offical(not flashed, rooted etc)?

you can check which app uses what amount of RAM in settings > more > application manager > running
just remove Clean Master and don't worry about RAM. android pretty much takes care about that automatically.
Well, mine, running the latest, rooted stock 4.2.2 (I9105PXXUBNE1) also drives me nuts with its crazy RAM usage. Idling, it offers me puny 200 MB free memory at best, 300, if it doesn't hate me at the moment. I admit, I have lots of apps, but all of them are greenified.
I also use Seeder and SD-Booster to hopefully, squeeze some power out.
How could I possibly enhance its performance? And no, I'm not going to flash any custom ROMs, I like the stock FW.
I'm not using any hard mods besides apps and Xposed with Wanam, so besides these my phone is vanilla. And I factory reset my phone a couple days ago.
you could change the CPU governor. interactive governor gives a noticeable performance boost but it also slightly increases the battery usage. or you could flash a custom kernel (mosh kernel for stock) and tweak it even further with the 'performance control' app.
Mine hovers between 470-370mb free depending on how heavily I've used it since the last reboot (Using LiquidSmooth 3.1 ROM the 13.06.2014 build). The free memory numbers aren't that relevant - you shouldn't obsess over them. Besides your apps and ROM, performance depends on your kernel, governor, scheduler and the way your low memory killer, dalvik vm and cache are configured.

care to explain this bit?
Ram usage!
I think its normal for samsung roms because they have a lot of services and a lot of samsung apps like s suggest, chat on, samsung apps, samsung hub, s voice... so it mighty can use more ram than its supposed to use!

For example, using an app such as Kernel Tweaker, you can customize your Low Memory Killer (LMK) to be very agressive - meaning it "kills" apps very quickly, even when you have high amounts of free ram - meaning you'll always have plenty of free RAM; or you can configure it to be very light, meaning it will only kill background apps and services when it is very necessary (e.g. when you only have 12mb of free RAM left.).
Other Dalvik tweaks are a question of finesse but they still affect performance in a subtle way.
I found it were the AVG (AntiVirus, PrivacyFix, Uninstaller, Cleaner, Zen) apps that made my phone so sluggish. I uninstalled them and now my phone flies!
I think it is normal ram usage for apps until the find out m8 uses only 1/10 it.You can see in screenshot what i want to say.For example whatsapp is using 122 mb ram for m8 same app is using 40 mb ram.I do not understand this.Ok touchwiz is using less ram but why the other applications usage is so high.The other example is spotify .(174 mb) Also greenify using 62 mb ram but for m8 it is only consuming 5 mb ram.
I am using audax 22.3 lollipop with civz kernel.I removed or frozen apps that i do not use and greenified some of them.
Maybe the problem for battery is this situation.Kitkat's ram management was better.
'Ang about, you are running a non-Samsung rom and you blame the memory usage in the device and not the ROM?

You are right but if you are using stock rom and your usage is lower please report it.I used stock it is same.Is it lollipop problem or system problem i do not know.
Please report your usage different roms and kernels so we maybe find out why.
