Hello everyone..
This is my first post to nexus 5 thread. And i m totally noob in nexus 5. so please understand me.
I purchased nexus 5 16 GB yesterday. And after using it 1day , my ram consumption is around 890 mb.
So is it usual RAM consumption??
If not tell me some ram optimization app ...
Thanks in advance..

That doesn't sound crazy to me. It depends what apps you've installed - for example, Viber, WhatsApp, Skype among many other apps will remain in memory even when "closed". I've had my phone for about a week or 2 and it runs at about 900mb used and 900mb free. People here will often tell you to not get too hung up on memory usage - that's what it's there for.
I wouldn't install any memory management apps. If you are really worried I would root the phone and use Greenify to explicitly control any apps that you don't want to run in the background.

Actually i m not worrying about it because 2GB IS more than enough ram..
Thanks..
It's the old addage "unused RAM is wasted RAM" and it is actually true. If your RAM is always FULL though, android should be killing things off as they are used less so it should always run optimally. Every now and again, you get a bad app that needs to be force closed as it has a memory leak. I alwo think a reboot every now and again is a good practice for any system using RAM

Seems normal, to put it in perspective touchwiz uses like 1.1GB of RAM without running any apps, or at least my buddy says so on his s4 so don't nail me if i am wrong
Use an USB-OTG cable. AFAIK using that needs a custom kernel. Congrats for your new phone

Actually it shows 18.47GB doesn't really mean it. It's not that big. Try uninstall it.
Tbh. It doesn't really matter even if it's showing that size. It doesn't affect your usage

My previous stock 4.2.2 ROM even showed I have 98GB of apps. :silly:
You mean the setting section?
Yes I have 9X GB too
But it's not true

go to application manager and find gallery and clear it's data.
that will make it back to normal and never use that evil application ever. it's a monster, eats memory.

Hi everyone,
I have updated my Nexus 5 to Lollipop 5.0 via the factory image posted by Google.
Initially for the first few days everything was smooth but now for the last week or so it has become very slow.
whenever i hit the home button it takes a good 2 seconds to react and the entire home screen redraws.
if i try to open app drawer it again takes a good 2 seconds time before something happens.
this is reminding me of my original Galaxy Note 3 years back.
Today i tried to check the running apps and kill some if necessary and to my shocking it shows system memory as 1 GB.
but CPU-Z says system memory as 1856 MB.
I am unable to understand what is wrong with my device.
please check the attached screenshots.
My Bad,
it says 1GB RAM used for system.
i was scared that its only 1 GB available.
Lol

Out of interest - what's your phone's current up time? I'm wondering how long it's taken the system to eat through nearly 1 GB of RAM...

Yep - that sounds like the classic Lollipop memory leak. Might be worth starring the problem on the bug tracker https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79729
If you notice it slowing down, rebooting the phone should clear it up for 24 hours or so.

1. 1free gb of ram is very good
well, my case is worst, at least i have tested on 3 phone atm, same regional. Whatever i do, my used RAM constantly stay at 2.5GB RAM.
I used stock ROM btw. F8332 model
I debloated my phone, and this is my RAM usage.
But understand this panel not shown really ram use in an android phone.
Run this from cmd or terminal:
Code:
adb shell cat /proc/meminfo
You can see only 112 MB free RAM available. this is normal for android (not linux and unix-like OS). for fast start up apps and switch between apps faster, android save data in RAM as cache.
for AOSP or Nexus phones (pure android rom) you can have more ram, but not above 400-450 MB ram (we talk about real RAM usage not you can see inside Settings app)
here is my mem test...it looks weird to me that it says MemFree is around 80mb but MemAvailable is 800+mb...maybe someone to explain a bit...thanks in advance
Yep since the upgrade I am having an absolutely shocking time with mine. Dual sim XZ.
Constantly chugging, have to wait 5 seconds to switch windows, rebooting fixes it for about 10 minutes. Closing everything, have uninstalled a bunch of apps but this is horrible - unusable!
even recording video is stuttering.. I don't know whether this is related to software bugs or really impacted from limitation of RAM capacity (only 3GB)

Yep video stuttering is also appalling I'm also having a lot of problems with typing I can no longer use Swipe typing as this Lags out and the words don't appear.
I've made a post on the support forum on the Sony website so here's hoping they actually see it and reply.

Hi
I also have same issue. It came around 2-3 weeks ago and same problem is in my spouses Z5 Compact. In both phones it first appears pretty much same time. Is there some kind update that Sony hasn't inform about..?

It's pretty bad here also, you can check the original Xperia XZ support forums on Sony support website. It's pretty much same situation there also.
Seems like a poorly optimised 7.1.1 update

My wife has the same Problem.
Honor 6x which i purchased a month back was absolutely working smooth in marshmallow.
I did a update to Nougat Emui 5...mobile would work fine & very smooth for some hours after a reboot or clear ram frequently. If we dont clear ram/reboot & use it for more than a day....It just dont...hangs, lags, stutters
Funny part is...it holds apps which i opened almost 7/8 hours ago from ram(i would have opened 8-9 apps easily after opening that app)
It seems emui has some memory management issues which isn't killing very old processes/apps
In developer options...If we set background processes limited to 4....voila!!! it goes smooth again...as old processes are killed
so my question here is ....can we limit background processes to 8-10...as 4 in developer options is so less
if not....any workaround to fix this.....I remember following d above mentioned method in my old galaxy s2, friend's redmi 1s....i feel ashamed to do it my 6x in 2017...c'mon Honor !!!
Y doesn't it kill apps/processes which are too old and allow everything to run in background....Unless & until we open a heavy memory demanding app like a game...it wont kill old processes running in background....WEIRD !!!
Please refrain from clearing apps from RAM. They will just resurrect and come back more RAM hungry.

The phone does have an option in battery optimization to close apps when screen is off. You can use it

It works this way only. Nit only Android but all OS works the same way. It will keep the app/process in memory and once needed they will be in action quickly. Closing app will cause more ram when they are launched again

I hope there is some way to limit keeping apps in ram to 8..as we can only limit upto 4 in dev options... Hope someway we can restrict upto 8

Emui is known for its aggressive killing of app in background. You can have 20 apps stored in ram and if you launch ine more then the 1sr app will be killed. Thats hiw EMUI works
Shashank u can decice how many apps to runned in the background . Probably the smart power 4.0 mean about the battery manager.
Recently I've noticed, that by p20 has never got more than 1.9GB of free RAM. I never leave any apps open and usually close them as soon as I stop using them. Anyone else encounter this?

Android has a different Ram-Managment than PCs. Free Ram is wasted Ram.

"This idea that RAM inside Android needs to be cleared manually is a misconception. Emptied RAM would mean that you need to constantly relaunch apps. This would cost time and power, and reduce battery life."

Thanks for the explanation, I'm a bit familiar with that, but I was just wondering because none of my other Huawei/Honor phones use this much RAM when not really doing something in the foreground

Good question, I don't really know. The only Huawei/Honor device I've got right now is the Honor 8x. I know that it's got the AI camera and everything but not if there's more. RAM with that phone is always between 2 GB and 2.4GB free with my usual usage (and emui9)
I'm not bothered by having less free RAM as the experience is still very fluid, snappy and fast.
I'm just wondering
