Hi,
I seem to have an odd bug of my phone's free ram disappearing over several days (checked via system>apps>running processes). This is fixed when I reboot. On start up, I would have about 100mb free space, with some processes like launcher, whatsapp, swype (as the main memory eaters). After some time, this 100mb disappears down to 0, and I don't see any other new applications under the running tab or task killer apps. Even if I kill everything I won't have as much free ram as right after a reboot. This causes apps to often kill themselves (I assume from lack of ram), and is generally annoying.
Any ideas what might be the cause of this?
I'm using Slim ICS 3.8 and devil3 0.79. Thanks for any help!
Hey
Not sure why this is happening..but u can try a factory reset..or an update as slimics 4.2 is out...
Cheers
If my post helped, don't mind hitting the Thanks button..
Reflash the kernel. Should solve it. What kernel are you using specifically? Sorry, I can't see it on the xda app

Was on devil3 0.79, updated to 1.03.
I would like to avoid reflashing the rom since I find it's a hassle to reinstall all the apps
Will see if kernel flashing helps though, thanks!

Try using alternate apps as handcent and see if the problem exists..

I have the same problem. How you resolved that?
Use CM7, it have an option to keep the SMS application in the memory no matter what, never missed a SMS (not that I receive much SMS's anyway ) using it.
The problem with CM7 and other Gingerbread ROMs is that due to the Droid/Milestone's limited RAM, memory management is fairly aggressive to the point where important apps are being killed due to low memory situations. This is why you're seeing so many threads about Gingerbread ROM users being unable to receive text messages.
The best thing to do is to run the SuperCharger v6 script as outlined in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12058585
You may also want to look into this thread over at DF for suggested minfree values:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/cy...im-getting-great-gingerbread-performance.html
In system\build.prop edit this line
sys.keep_app_1=com.jb.gosms
You won't lose messages anymore
No need to set messaging app persistent in cm settings

The same situation is in froyo. I have stock 2.2 and I can't receive messages when i'm playing angry birds or browsing web and using flash.
Using AMM could help to an extent. However, if/when you root (you said you were stock Froyo but I'm not sure if you rooted), the SuperCharger script is a far better solution.
Give each a try.
Yes I'm rooted and i'm SuperCharger script user. Any minfree values and also AMM don't help me. Sometimes is better, sometimes not but at all there is still a problem with receiving messages when my phone has low free ram space.
hello everyone...i don't know why i always find my ram nearly full

Try and use the v6 supercharger script which is posted on xda it works wonders on memory management and I do mean wonders. Ill try dig link out soon

Try to close manually process who "eat" a lot of ram memory.
Thanks buddies
I went back to zeus v2.1 and its over 200mb free again
Yes had to manually force stop

Why did you told about stock ROM.Is it affecting the RAM???
No more auto-kill
I use both Autorun Manager and Startup Manager. May be first is enough but just to be sure... I use Go lanucher fx and its plug-ins, ram eatin monster SBP 3D shell (uses 50 mb ram) all at once, but still get 70-80 mb ram. If you use i am certain you'll get at least 150 mb.
But first of all your phone must be rooted. As always... And you should remove every unnecessary program. Like out Turkish stock rom.. Full of crappy programs. They made a root for V20b and V20n. I hope someone would make for our V20a too. And we can update to 2.3 too. I am certain Autorun manager will do the trick for you. It prevents programs to start all over again when you kill them. Cheers.
Every Miui rom I have tried on my many U9000-81 cincinnati bell phones has done this, When the browser or any app stalls, the phone will reboot. Is this a memory overflow causing this? Is it inherent in the phone? I am not a rom developer but this is the reason that I don't like the Miui Rom. First and foremost the phone should be stable. Sorry for the rant.

memmory is great issue with MIUI, many time its own lauuncher got freez because of memmory issue .... using different launcher over MIUI to overcome memmory isuue...
My phone rarely reboots on MIUI and I'm using go launcher and many background apps are also running, I'd suggest you try V6 by zeppelinrox
My phone always has more then 150mb free ram and find no reboot so far. Can you give me some tips to try to make miui reboot or some app names to try the stability?

CK what you use to make free 150 + ram for all time, Now I am using ADW launcher to counter memory problem but not that successful
@paarkhi was using V6 supercharger on RC2 after that forget to use it again ... run it again to check the results ....
V6 rejuvenates the phone in my case, can't say about others

I tried to avoid widgets in each desktop. Widgets will take more cpu and ram for them to work for background and foreground process.
I'm not using any additional tweak other than default rom tweak. I'm using ssLauncher and no widget in every desktop, that's make always 150+ free ram. This launcher is more smooth and light than miui default launcher and quite beautiful even without widget. Maybe not everyone comfortable with this launcher but this is what I looked for from long time ago, paper curl effect desktop change.
For More free RAM, you Guy's should try "RAM Manager" App. you can easily get more than +200 free MB of RAM. Max i got was around 260MB on my CM7.2, I have screen on my phone, i can't show you guy's because my Phone is stolen
Here is the Market link :- CLICK HERE
Free version should be ok because "Balance" Profile work's best for our device & you should run this app in a every while to Boost your RAM...!!

Well unless an app like firefox has a memory leak there should be no issue with memory. And if it does have a memory leak bad enough to crash the OS, a memory manager will not have enough ram to run under that circumstance either. But why don't I have an issue like that with Cyanogenmod?

You remind me with firefox. I stop using firefox several months ago because of memory leak of this app, make the OS reboot even I regularly update the app, but not remember what rom I was used. Since that time I never use firefox again, opera mobile take the place.
Normally the ram manager should not crash even with the memory leak of some apps, it should kill them when the memory reach the minimum free size limitation as we configure in minfree. From what you said, may be the configuration of this minfree will help the memory manager to breath a little deeper.
I think we should give this four values not to low in minfree:
- FOREGROUND_APP
- VISIBLE_APP
- SECONDARY_SERVER
- EMPTY_APP
But will decrease the chance to switch to other task, it will start over from the beginning for some apps.
Well... that what I thought.
I've to consider this for my future rom ports. But I hasn't found this issue in my current rom. I 'll try to install firefox and open many site on tabs.
Edited: Confirmed.... after using firefox with several webs on tabs opened, it got rebooted. But no reboot if using opera mobile.

Makes sense. I read above that someone tries to keep 150 mb free and I have 771 mb free with my CM7 rom that I am using. Lots of free memory available.

Our device ram only has 512mb. I think that was not free ram, that must be free internal nvm memory . I have 630mb free internal memory.

Ram and internal memory is different, what you are saying is internal memory and as CK said we only have 512mb but 352 mb shown

OK So right now my phone has 104 avail out of 351. One tab opened in firefox now 97/351 5 tabs 102/351 6 tabs 98/351. Not seeing that Firefox is causing problems with CM7. This only happens with Miui as far as I can tell.
Is the problem With Firefox or Miui? Do other programs cause the same problem with Miui? Not Opera obviously. I personally love the look of Miui but reliability is key with me. I hate reboot problems.

Problem is with launcher of MIUI, its really a RAM eater ......
over MIUI you can try other launcher and will see the difference
was using AWD an go on MIUI from some days really want to say never rebooted from then......
Also constantly getting RAM above 150 MB ....
AWD is preferred choice to get more while go with lots of customization option.
Also try V6 supercharger ....
From what i've read seems like a regualr problem, Just picked the phone myself, But when playing things like Temple Run 2, Candy Crush & Tapped out, the phone just cuts out.
Problem has happened with Stock ROM, and on CM 10.1.
What am I best doing?
Sometimes apps can close on their own if Android is running out of free memory. Check to see how many processes you have running and free up some memory before you start the game by closing running apps . There are so many memory cleaner & app manager apps but the best I have found is a very basic app called fmr memory cleaner and then I use SystemCleanup by inteks which is the best cache cleaner out of so many that I've tried. So if this is the reason your apps are closing this should fix the problem.

I use GO Task Manager to clean up my RAM memory. They have a nice little widget which shows the percentages of RAM in use. Click the button (might have to click it 2 times every once in a while) and you'll see the percentage go down. This might help clear up some RAM for your games.
If this doesn't help, try reinstalling the ROM, preferably with a full whipe (remember to back up your data, just in case).

Definately not normal, I've had the browser open with a good few and very rare for them to reload.
You might have some memory hungry apps running in the background, get a task manager to monitor apps ram usage
