Hi everyone
my galaxy s6e is consuming a lot of memory ram
but the setting for the memory ram management appears to be gone :/
any suggestions?

Is there a .cab/hack etc... to reduce the amount of internal storage ram and increase the amount of program ram. I have more then enough storage "4 gigs" wasting the internal storage ram, which I never use.
Or does WinMobile 6 automatically reallocates this memory? These feature where present in mobile 3 .....
Thanks
Reallocating Storage vs. Program was a feature up thru WM2003, but it is not possible in WM5/WM6.
Hello,
I'm trying to fill a table useful to understand how much RAM is really available to the user in Android Phones.
Please try "Free Memory" by coconuts on the market or the "free" command in Terminal to let me know the total RAM of your device so that I can understand how much is reserved for hardware operations.
Please also say which ROM are you using.
Thanks

bit confusing how devices with 768mb ram have only 300mb free ram on boot.... 400mb+ ram already used by android (+sense)
then imagine a few years back devices had/still have 256mb ram..

Some is for caching and used ram also means that it is used for a good cause but I think that android uses too much RAM, maybe it's a bit related to using Java... I cannot believe that very simple widgets eat 10-12 MB of RAM so easily.
The ram is supposed to be taken up. It allows programs to start really fast(normally). This is normal. The programs in memory are based upon what you use. Available ram is wasted space. I generrally only have ~100mb free and have 512mb total. My phone never slows except when a dev does not implenent a listview correctly. As for Widgets with big ram req that is also a developer thing.

wow! 12mb for a widget?!
yeh i understand it runs in the background, but if you use task killers you gain more ram back... the free ram ensures better performance though? it isnt 'wasted' is it?
do htc widgets generally use alot of RAM?

it's not
android have it's own internal task killer and there is no need to install additional apps to manage RAM and keep free memory for... for what? system knows how much free mem is needed to run and will kill processes when needed.
and if you close app with task killer and then would want to run it again, it will actually take more time than if it would be kept in RAM.

I generally agree with you, but my heavy usage of android shows me that things can get really slow even on my oced G2, when the available ram gets under 40 things get messy, increasing the lowmem limit saved me a bit but I aim for a 768 MB minimum for my next phone.
a widget takes 12mb of RAM because of the heap size of the way android OS is setup. it assigns 12mb of RAM regardless of whether that widget needs it or not. check each process, every one shown in system panel will be a minimum of around 12mb or so, even something that is only 75k. just the way android works.

That seems a bit uncomfortable to me
i personally think that it could be changed better by removing some apks or in other ways to reduce something
In my opinion it is nonsense that 1-4 MB stuff must reserve a minimum of ~12 MB of precious RAM. In this way we just lose resources that would be better used for actual data.

Hello,
I recently bought a Samsung Galaxy SII and I have a question about ram usage.
When I boot up my Galaxy and open task manager it says I have about 200 - 210 ram in use but after a while I see it uses 260- 290 mb ram.I kill all apps and clean ram with task manager ( and task killer pro ) but I never get back to the 200 mb. It's not bothering me too much but I would like to know why this happens and how to possibly fix this
Thanks in advance Cédric
Your system apps (which would be very dangerous if you killed them) are using up the ram. You could possibly fix this by checking out this thread and doing what is says: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111145.
Hello Epson,
after booting, I get nearly the same values, like you: 297 MB used / 837 MB free / 0 active applications
With regards, Michael
Hey,
I'm the owner of a Nexus 9 and while thinking once again about it's memory problems I started to wonder:
Why is it that Android has to kill apps when running out of memory, yet PCs can keep running all the apps they want even if their combined memory usage exceeds the PC's RAM?
I have never seen a PC kill a program because of low memory, they just become slower.
Thanks,
Niko

Low Memory Killer (LMK) is a feature in Linux Kernel on Android that automatically clears memory when it reaches the limit that set before, caused the memory to be freed and to be able to use by other apps.
It's different from out of memory (OOM) killer, since it will kill all apps when the system is out of memory, thus can cause crashes here and there.

After reboot my phone I have more than a gigabyte free RAM. But few days after that with used some apps I have only 600-700 MB RAM free and I don't know what is using it.
I mean after I stop using some app i force stop it from the app manager because I don't want it to stay loaded in the memory but don't know why the memory doesn't release.
Is Android cache some RAM without my knowledge?
I upload a screenshoot from L Speed.

Your OS using Your RAM. It's not normal for android to leave lot of RAM free. Thats not how android works. He load most used app so You can call them quick. You can google about that and read some article about how android menage RAM. I have 3GB RAM, in use is about 2 or 2.2! If i have 2GB of RAM than system used will use around 1 or 1.5gb. Every model have different RAM MENAGING! You don't need free RAM, if You start some app which need more RAM, system will immediately free enough RAM. All process have priorities, low priorities will be killed first to free up memory!
So don't wory about RAM in android OS! ?

Ok thanks than.
A certain amount of RAM will automatically be taken up by the GPU, which is why your 1 gig will be 832mb or thereabouts when you look at how much you have through CPU-Z or a similar app.
in system there are alot of apps that runs in background ie.. your messages ,dialer.. we can't stop that apps.... but yeh you can use greenify or similar to force stop your downloaded apps so your phone runs smooth.. also disable some system apps you can't use . because now days new androids come with alot of apps and we only use some apps
