Is there a App where you can see which App use the most RAM?
I know that you can see it in settings but maybe there is something better.

I've still not seen any evidence that a memory leak exists. But if you understand what a memory leak is, then perhaps you will be able to identify it in settings.
When an app is opened, an app will grab x amount of RAM. When it is closed, it will release the RAM. Typically a memory leak is when the app is closed, it does not release the RAM so when it is opened again, it has x*2 RAM, then closed and opened again x*3 RAM.. Memory leak can also be seen without closing apps, when the app just grabs more RAM for new commands/functions etc, and again - never releases it.
So just look for which apps are using a LOT of RAM.
Do you find anything?..
This is not really normal..

Your system is using a lot so perhaps that is the memory leak people are referring to. I never had this. Most RAM should be apps. I wouldn't expect any other apps could breakdown what "system" means though.
I use an app called System Panel. It shows you pretty much all the info for everything that's running on your phone.

I had it once. The infamous system using 1GB+ of RAM and apps restarting. I only had it once though.

When entering any app that tells you about the phone, it only reports my lumia of having 363mb of ram total.
Why? Is some of it dedicated to the system or something?
No phone ever has the full RAM available for applications, some of it is always reserved for the OS.

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.

Agreed. Delete or freeze that horrible Gallery3D app and install something nice, like QuickPic.
I have had My sprint lg g flex 2 , for 3 days now....and I've been using it non stop. I was expecting a smooth beautiful phone...with the Qualcomm 810 but I can't even listen to Spotify and surf chrome without extreme lag, or an app closing out. The lag will come and go....and its actully lagging as i write this....i have nothing open.....I think its mostly a ram problem...and I'm so confused because they say the g flex 32 GB variants have 3 gbs of ram....mine is 32gbs....but I have 2....anyway...I've attached a video for proof of the lag...I've updated everything and everysthinga stock with about 20 apps installed....this is very frustrating because I didn't even have this much lag coming from my g2 and that's 2 years older..so I would love it if someone could get me some sort of help!

Chrome was my problem.
Left it and the overall experience is better.
Not perfect though.

Lol definitely not chrome, it's my phone.... It could be a combination of Spotify, and Skype, and Spotify would is shut off it's mostly a ram problem
It's probably memory leaks. I changed my thermal throttling and I still have that happening. It's a known issue in 5.0. We will probably have to wait until we get 5.1 to see real relief. Often I am forced to restart my phone because it wont respond because it seemingly can't load anything else into RAM.
I'm pretty sure this is a ram issue. I've never experienced that with my 3gb model. Although the lag you're experiencing is what I had with my S4 with android 5.0 and it all got fixed when I upgraded to 5.1.

Ahhhhhh okayyy ...that helps I looked it up.....and I see that memory leaks are a common glitch in 5.0x other than waiting for sprint to push out 5.1x , is there any fix?

Unfortunately it looks like the best method requires Xposed which we can't install right now. You could try an app that will kill apps that are using a lot of memory. I don't have any recommendations though since I'm not currently using one but may end up trying it out soon since I'm getting tired of restarting my phone.

Hardly, it makes it useable though... Also the thing about xsposed, how come we can't use it, I know there is a beta for a lollipop? PS..... regardless I can't root because I'm on a lease with Sprint, can't risk, loosing the warranty ?

Currently there isn't a way to install the framework without an unlocked bootloader. It's possible that could change at some point but for now it's not possible.

I was fine on my g2 installing xsposed on 5.0, but I did have an unlocked bootloader, I know there's a root method for the Flex 2, but I guess there's no boot unlock?

On my S4 with 5.0 it helped to run the app Greenify with root access. I would have it hibernate apps I didn't want to have taking resources in the background. Made a big difference for me. Even without the xposed features it helped a lot.

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.
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?
I'm on official emui9

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

Has any of your other devices AI? Maybe it "thinks" it's necessary to use/reserve this amount of RAM?

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
