Its normal for me

I used to have around 800mb used. Nothing is eating my RAM in the settings.

Its there to be used. The longer its on, the more you'll see it fill up - particularly if you're installing more apps that run.

Hi mate,
Normal RAM usage in Stock is around 1GB
Keep in mind, more RAM usage(<1.5GB), better would be your smartphone's performance.
Do not keep cleaning your RAM again and again
Do not install any battery sucker apps!

Hi mate,
Please change your habit.
It's okay if you do it on low end devices and install task managers
But do not use it on devices having RAM > 1GB

What I don't get is that 4.4 was supposed to drastically improve RAM usage, yet my Moto X which is still on 4.2.2 consistently has more free RAM available at any given time. Even if I do an end all in system panel, my X has 200mb more free RAM than the N5. It's not really a problem (I don't get redraws on my N5 but I do get tons of them on my N7), but I just don't understand it considering 4.4 was supposed to reduce the operating system's memory footprint.

Android 4.4 does what its doing, on lower end devices or people who make roms can call ActivityManager.isLowRamDevice() to activate kitkats ram saving feature ensuring it will not exceed that 512MB hard limit because the Nexus 5 is a flag ship device like the moto x it does not need to call the lowramdevice API google has added in Android 4.4 kitkat so thats why sometimes the ram usage is high.
There is another simple way to check your ram go to developer options then process stats if it says its normal then its normal don't worry about a thing.
The beauty of android is that it will optimize its memory itself you do not need to tap that multitask button and swype all those cards away as it manages its own memory for example
As in this game vector the OS realizes that it needs more ram... Fine android optimized the memory and suspended some apps if you look at the graph you see the dip slightly rose indicating more ram that can be used

1GB used is norml for me, too: Stock + Rooted
You can use apps like Android Tuner to view which apps are consuming what amount of RAM exactly.
Attached is a screenshot of my Nexus 5 after closing all apps in the Android task switcher.

Process stats in developer options will show it too, and it will only display the ones that you can force close

I was asking about that too. So after all of this, why my previous nexus 4 with same apps was running nice and smooth with more free ram than nexus5? they have the same amount of ram, same cpu manufacturer (yeah different models but.. )... so what about it? I'm talking about both the nexi with stock rooted rom.

Battery drain issue

Since better battery stats & co don't work on KitKat as of right now, I'm asking for your help in diagnosing the causes of my battery drain issue so here are some screenshots of my battery stats. I attached the last one to show that GPS should be deactivated.

If you set the location service to Device only, I expect things will become much better.
The other location settings enables Googles data collection of our movements, not just our location. This is how Google Now will tell us things like how far we've walked or cycled. In order to know this, the phone is basically waking up every few seconds, getting location information and firing it back to Google.
Google have said themselves in some key note speech that their new location collection API's will use 1% of battery power an hour, which doesn't sound a lot put like that, but equals a quarter of our battery capacity in a day. If you haven't a good cell signal, I expect this 1% is very conservative.
Unfortunately there is no way to tame this collection of data, even if you opt out of everything. Basically if Wi-Fi is enabled for location gathering, it collects this data even if we ourselves don't use it. Google will be using this data to collect information about us, and also uses it for detecting traffic congestion.
Try setting location to Device only and see if things improve, even with apps then using GPS as their only option it will probably be better. While GPS does use a bit more power, it will not be pinging every 10 seconds or so.
Also in the battery page look at the Screen On and Awake blue bars. Ideally you should only have Awake shown at the same time as Screen On. If there are lots of Awakes without the screen being on, that is something using your phone when you are not, usually this is location services.
Regards
Phil
Thank you for your answer but if I'm not mistaken this will disable all the Google now functionalities which need your location to work, right? Also, here's a screenshot of the detailed battery stats

[Q] Is Kit Kat slowing the moto G

Hi !
I have read that a few moto G users felt moto G slightly slowing down after the Kit Kat update.
Have you experienced the same way after update ?
thx
No.

Not true. It'still snappy.

No issues for me. Your premise is very ambiguous though. Exactly what is "slowing down"? AFAIK, KitKat is using less RAM on the Moto G. Are you saying opening apps is slower? Using apps is slower? Please be more specific. Posting thread like these is going to get a million different responses that aren't useful because it is not very clear what you mean.
On Stock KitKat rooted and haven't slowed down yet. Been snappy for me.

Kitkat is still plenty snappy and smooth, but a couple of apps (XDA forum app for one) are laggy for me if opened from recent apps. Swipe them away and a relaunch solves it, but it's a bit annoying.
No problems here. In fact I've just been running a side by side comparison with a Nexus 5 and there's not much in it. The apps launch just as fast, scrolling in web pages is identical. I've installed GEL on the Moto and flicking between screen etc appears identical. To top it off during these test the better level in the Moto dropped 1% the N5 6%, good result for the Moto I think

I have read that a few users reported a less smouth navigation and use after the kit kat update which was surprising me because of all Google communication on Android optimizations etc .... But with the feedback in this thread I am convinced it is not slowing down the device.
FYI, Sony can do very poor quality updates in the past (in my case Xperia arc S) that's why I am asking the question
I will receive my moto G soon !

It won't hurt to try, worst wil be it stays the same, best would be fixed, go for it.
Theorically it could happen after update but wipe would solve the problem.

At least not slower, no way

According to the image, the sum of each single app's RAM consumptions is clearly more than the 93 MB showed...but anyway it's useless to have all that free RAM, having it used instead permits faster opening and response of the apps.

Killing apps is it worth it??

I have a bad habit of frequently clearing all apps from my recents
I somewhere read that it's not good (can't remember where)
So is it worth killing apps frequently ?? Does this effect battery life too??

Hi,
I would say you "kill" multitasking...
...which is actually not good, because opening an app that is already in the phones RAM loads much faster plus it doesn't consume that much battery juice
Just leave em. Don't be obsessed with closing stuff all the time
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
Apps running in your multi tasking window still drain some battery. Even Google suggests closing them if you're not using them, to extend battery life.
Launching apps doesn't doesn't spike my current widget readings so I don't think much battery is used there. I've noticed rebooting the phone does cause huge spikes though so try and only do that while plugged in.

This topic has been debated again and again. It makes no tangible difference in battery life. If you want to swipe your apps, go ahead and swipe them. You will never see a difference in battery. And that's because there isn't one.
I notice that if I don't reboot my N5 for a long time, my available RAM goes down to <150mb regardless of what I close. Does it sound like I have a bad app?

Usually its best to just keep pressing the back button repeatedly to exit an app and let it be in the recents. I read that just swiping the app off the Recent doesn't completely exit the app and there's still some background process that will be running for some time.

Hi just got my nexus 5 and been trying to run benchmarks on it... In antutu they say the CPU is poor and in 3d mark physics test is very low... I know about the thermal throttle but really how severe is it?!? Also how to enable quickboot in cm11?!? Also some custom kernel supports quickboot???

If you go to the development sections and read the opening posts on the kernel threads....they usually list the features.
Research and reading are the XDA way!
Clearly read instructions before flashing anything of course.

Yes, but no one has been able to access it....like for double tap to wake that a lot of kernels have now. So dt2w and "always listening" are running off normal cores and keeping the phone awake....and costing pretty big battery loss.
The N5 has a pedometer on that core, where the X has active display and I believe always listening. No one has gained access to the low voltage core on either device. Its probably not doable without major code changes.

[Q] Why does my Nexus 5 lag?

Hi guys, so I recently bought a nexus 5 I just got it like 5 days ago. My problem is that I have some lag problems. My phone lags when I play games like Dead trigger 2. I also have this game called Kritika, I don't know if you've heard of it, it's from Gamevil, and it lags pretty bad. So why is this? It's a Nexus 5, I shouldn't have problems with the Snapdragon 800 processor. I also seem to have a little stutter in fruit ninja. Is it just me or do I have a defective device. Or is there nothing wrong with it? Can someone please tell me whether I should send it back or not? Thank you.
Is it on stock? If no reflash stock then factory reset the device. Then load nothing else but the game. If it lags it hardware.

I would bet on thermal throttling like everyone else is saying. I noticed that although my Nexus 4 got absurdly hot with a raised thermal throttle, games ran better. That phone was a launch device and is used by my dad every day now without any lasting effects. I've done the same with my Nexus 5 with similar effect, although it doesn't seem to get as hot as my old phone. I would say that it's safe to do, and should get rid of the lag

Does your phone heat up while its lagging? If so, it would be because of thermal throttling like the other have mentioned (reducing CPU frequency so the phone can cool down)
You can flash a custom kernel and either remove thermal throttling or increase the amount of temperature of thermal throttling (so it will reduce CPU only at higher temperatures).

Yeah it does heat up while it's lagging, but the problem is that it doesn't take time to lag, it just starts lagging when I start the game up, not over time, so I was wondering if it was a hardware problem.

You know what guys I suspect it's just those two apps that lag, cuz other games run just fine

I played DT2 a lot on my N5.. Never had a problem. Back then my N5 was fully stock.
