Not sure if anyone is having this issue but the one plus one has stock Android and 3GB of ram. Most of the time, even with plenty of open apps, I have more than a GB available. My issue is. Say I have 9 apps opened. When I go from the first to the 9th, the 9th app reloads. I don't get why. Anyone know how I can make apps sit in memory and not have it reload. I'd like to out my ram to Good use

What app is this?
Is the app greenified?
Are you using task killers?

Hey guys, I've been experimenting with some ram optimizers ("Memory boost ram optimizer" being the best) and I have come to this conclusion. You can sit their and kill those ram hogging apps every 5 seconds, or you can prevent those apps from starting up in the first place. I failed to find any apps that stop programs from starting on their own. Are there apps that can fix this problem?

Based on how memory management occurs in Android. Those apps that get used the most, you want them to have RAM. They access faster. Your phone may appear sluggish when another app is forcing an old app out of memory but for those that are used often, they will be quick and responsive because of memory. There was an earlier post describing how android manages memory, I will add the link to this thread when I find it. So, what I'm trying to say, don't kill the apps in memory, let android manage itself, and don't install apps that you don't feel are serving their purpose.

"startup auditor" lets u select apps that u don't want to start at start-up. and it even polls at regular intervals for apps u don't want to run at all in the background. The latter applies typically to att bloatware apps.
I don't have that many apps installed and I don't use any widgets but I only have about 35mb of available RAM. I only started noticing this after I did the OTA update. Is this normal? Thanks for any feedback.
Sounds fishy, I've got about 214MB free and run more than one widget and use plenty of apps. Do you have some sort of a task killer app like Advanced Task killer? What apps do you have running at the moment?
I have like Facebook, Google voice and android keyboard. I'm stock rooted and have some bloatware frozen. I have no idea what is causing this. Some others are android core apps and logs provider?
Well the only way I use up that much ram is if i'm doing a lot of multitasking but all three of those apps are the largest users of RAM in my running services list lol just sayin

That is so wierd...im running many many services yet my ram stays <50%....im on MIUI and frequently use its app killer frees up like 100mb of ram everytime with one click
I have like about 100MB RAM free if I don't clear up RAM for about 2-3 days (well, I do clear it up once in a couple of days if there is any lag). Otherwise I normally have 100-200 MB free. On a fresh boot up, it shows 250+ MB free.

So should I factory reset? Odin? Don't know what else I could do.

When in doubt start over I guess, factory reset from CWM which will get rid of apps/data, check you ram usage from there and if you still have subpar Ram usage, somethings probly up. You could even Odin back to bone stock and check from there too...
Hi,
My Verizon Galaxy Nexus has been running very very slow lately. I'm running AOKP last stable JB build and the RAM bar at the 'recent apps' screen show "665MB used - 30MB Free" most of the times. Even if I 'Kill all apps" from that screen, Free memory doesn't go higher than 42MB ever. I did google search with different keywords but all of them are returning only 'task killer' apps, which I believe don't actually do much good. In theory, Android does memory management on its own and release required memory automatically when a new app needs it. But I'm guessing there's some rouge app in my device which is always reporting "hey, I'm using this memory" and not letting Android reclaim it.
So, I'm looking for an app that can identify which app is using how much of ram at any given time. And maybe how much of CPU time etc... so that I can identify which app is bringing my device to its knees. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Don't know how many of you saw this, but I installed it last night, and it's awesome.

Basically, it allows you to stop apps from running in the background without disabling them. You can still run them like normal, but they don't eat up RAM when you're not. It does stop background functions, but many of the apps I see running like this don't do anything for me in the background anyway. YOU determine what runs in the background instead of your apps.
It doesn't work with system apps, these need to be moved to phone storage before Greenify can take control of them.
I've noticed a definite improvement in available memory and multitasking.

You will spend more battery in killing those apps. ram is supposed to be filled up, the only answer to run more apps is to get more ram , not kill running apps.
Did you read the post? It's not a traditional app killer. It prevents them from running in the background at all.
Installed this a few hours ago. Definitely smoother phone, and moderately better multitasking. Been trying to find a way to get rid of pesky Facebook which uses like 25 mb of RAM just to send you push notifications and sync your calendar.
You may need to convert Facebook to a user app first. It can't do anything to system apps. I did it with mine and it's now behaving.

I'm having problem with "deasapearing ram" Every 2-3 days i've to restart phone completly becouse when i check in working apps settings i've like 40-80 free ram. in use is about 780-820 mb. it does not add up to 1gb anyway. So when i have so little ram to use apps are force to close, mx player, some ****ty family guy app even chrome is closing down. apps like app killer are not helping tehy free like about 10-60 mb. anyone noticed something like me, any advice?
I think it is the phone, I have the same problem :/

i did it already through pc companion suite. no help at all.
Maybe root and uninstall bloatware can help you with this situation
this problem probaly because of too many background apps
and one more thing .. linux based OS , ram always been used everytime
you can disable some apps like google maps or integrated apps that u dont use
I have the similar problem with my RAM. As 1st, RAM is always at 70% usage.
How can i disable some applications permanently so they do not run by themselves? I dont want to unninstal them, just disable them, is it possible and if it is can u please tell me how to do it in few short steps.
Second thing, beside other apps i have installed Facebook, WhatsApp and CleanMaster app. Every time i go Settings -> Aplications -> Running Aplications, there are these 3 apps always running. I dont know whats causing them to be opened at all times. I think if i open Facebook (for example) even once, it stays up and running in background even if i remove it from that Dock Menu Tab by sliding it a side.
Is there anything i can do to make this stop, and save some of my RAM free?
Thanks in advance
4.3 is the worst from all versions in terms of memory handling. On top of that it comes very heavy on memory foot-print right after booting up.
After booting up your phone has about 300 - 350 Mb left to work with. Open your Navigation app and your browser, and the memory of your phone is "done". The happy apps reshuffling starts, causing screen lag and app start-up delay.
When a phone app with1 mB in size was considered big, and 5 mB of RAM consumption enormous, than shuffling things around was no prob. Now shuffle a 240 mB Navi app out of the memory, and replace it with that 70 mB home launcher when you are done. Takes the same time and is the same, right? And users have no clue how memory is used, right? And if so many complain about memory handling? But still, Many will tell us "unused RAM is wasted RAM".
What can you do?
- Root your pone and remove all apps you don't need, diligently and consequently
- Greenify user apps, in particular those which you do not need always.
- Rethink if you need to be on Viber, Whatsapp and Skype constanly. If not, greenify.
- Access Facebook from a browser, ditto for other functions and apps where a website is availabe and mostly does the same
- When installing a new app always go for the smaller one that just does what you need to do. Not the one with all the function that you could need, and not the one with more eye candy.
certain apps on android are a no-no. For example, facebook (from what I've heard) and skype use lots of resources and slow down the phone. You should disable or uninstall any app that isn't of use to you. To check the RAM usage of apps and disable them, go to settings -> apps, running will show you current apps, and if you go in all apps you can scroll through them and disable unneeded apps.

Search for an app that lets you manage startup apps on boot. Another way is Greenify, as it unloads apps from memory.
BTW. Cleanmaster is redundant in my eyes.
Thank you very much, this helped a lot.
i've disabled around 15 apps, some sony crap and stuff what i know what it is and i don't use. still the same.
