Hello everybody,
I recently bought a galaxy note (this past saturday) and from day one, I've been having problems with the phone being too laggy. I've noticed that RAM usage never gets below 4-500 and when I open even one app (like facebook or the browser), it immediately spikes up and can get as high as 700+! Surely this is not normal! My Galaxy s2 does not have this problem at all.
Even after a factory reset the problem persists even when I haven't even installed any of my own apps yet! Could this be a hardware issue? It's running on 4.0.4. I've also had FC's. Tried switching to a costum rom (Rocket rom), but it has the exact same problem and even a slightly higher RAM usage.
I took it back to the store the other day, and the salesman pulled out their test phone (which had the exact software as mine) and it seemed to be having the same problems with the lagging and high RAM usage.
HELP!

All I can tell you is that with a CLEAN install, I'm usually sitting around 600 megs used. And then after all my apps (including the ones that are scheduled and such) I sit around the same as you, 700 or more megs used. I feel your pain with the RAM issue. It seems that it's because of all the TW drivers and software. I am really glad that they decided to up the memory in the SG Note 2 to 2GB. I really hope that things do get smoother though with JB at least. But you're not alone.

Flash gb rom in pc odin and while in gb rom go to CWMR and do the 3 wipes then flash ics rom in pc odin.
Try removing those unnecessary cluttered stock apps that you don't need (thru Titanium Backup), make sure you wipe cache partition & dalvik cache (only) in cwmr.
Reboot recovery and reboot system.. Check again if your still getting the same high Ram usage.
Uninstall google maps & facebook

for the sake of future generations, I'd like to reiterate two most important points from the article quoted by AA1973:
- Unused RAM is wasted RAM.
- Task killers are bad.
OP.
It is a legitimate issue if you complain about lag and freezes, but apparently you mentioned only perceived high ram usage.

Click THANKS button if I helped, or u liked my post.
Will be honored.
It is not abt the RAM that u need to worry.
But how good a ROM an kernel manage the RAM for highest performance and good battery life.
That's what all RAM about... Performance!
Same like computer.

AMEN!!
I just want my Note to take all my RAM.
Check the developer option under settings tab
No further posts on this I guess but here's what I have observed:
1. Go to settings
2. Go to developer options ( 2nd last option)
3. Select "Background process limit". You will have plenty of options including "No background process".
4. Stop all unwanted running apps in the "applications" -> "running" tab
5. Press the home key for few seconds, you will see some apps shortcut displayed. Swipe it left or right to clear it.
The RAM should stay within limits for a long time. After a reboot the above process might have to be repeated.

using dev options and limiting the process causes random refreshing of homescreen and apps not to work properly.
using multiwindow is also very difficult.
apps closes away some time while navigating away..
Using the App section of Dev options is not a very good idea on a daily run.
I've been suffering this alot with JB/ICS rom, my favorite thing to do after flashing a new ROM is to remove all the bloat wares, but that doesn't help with the high RAM usage (always uses up to 700MB+). So, I decided to flash back to JB a few days ago, and guess what, I open 7-8 apps at the same time with RAM usage is about 500-650MB.
As I read here and there, GPU rendering consumes more RAM, so...I think you get the idea
Source: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/hardware-accel.html
And with JB, memory leak is even worse.
Unfortunately ram managers do nothing in increasing performance or battery life its a complete myth. Ram itself is only accessed when needed for backup or temporary storage of small files. The ram management on Android will utilise as much as it can with usual apps used and system management. It has no effect on battery or performance UNTIL you have a leak on the rom which does happen.

I've always believed that free RAM is wasted RAM! Don't care too much about RAM consumption! Android is good enough to deal with RAM without task managers (actually they're more harmful than helpful!)

Phone: Galaxy Tab P1000 16G (apparently the Euro Unbranded version)
ROM: Alroger CM10.1 Android 4.2.2 20130913 Unofficial-P1
Kernel: 3.0.94 HumberOS V1.45-00920-g9fcdd44
i been using this P1000 for about a year now
a friend gave it to me coz my old phone died
anyway, last weekend i started learning about rooting and flashing ROMs
thank god its been successful so far, lol
tried a few different 10.1 4.2.2 rom, seems pretty stable except few minor issue
i have done some research myself, but could no find a clear answer (or any answer for that matter)
since i am new to this whole rooting and flashing business
i think it's best if i could ask you guys who is more experienced for some advise
if anyone could give me some tips on the issues
will be much appreciated ^^
1. i have notice with all the 10.1 rom i flashed, the GPS never worked
could no get more then 3 satellites pickup
since i use the P1000 as my nav device while driving, i spand a whole night learning about this issue
then i found out that the gps.conf file in all of the roms, only had 3 line in it
after copy another .conf file from my roommate's S4, it seems to be working again
is this a common issue?
cos atm, on road i can only pick up about 6~8 satellites
but cuts on and off every now and then...
2. currenly on the Alroger CM10.1 Android 4.2.2, the camera screen flashes/jumps when lighting/focus changes
this happens for both front and back camera
i did not test this on other rom at the time, so no sure if this is a common issue with all 10.1
when taking photo its ok, as long as i don't move too much, its dosen't happen
but with video recording, it happens during recording as well, which is very annoying
happens when i am recording with DVR app as well
dose anyone have the same problem?
or is there a way to fix this?
i've been digging for a bit, but didn't find anything regards to this issue
3. the Screen-off animation (electron beam animation when the screen is turned off) dose not work
i seen it on other phone, looks pretty cool
so i wish i could activate this option
is this another one of those so called "wrong Kernel version" issue?
or is that because they disabled it when making the rom to reduce system usage?
could this be reactivated?
4. i know this might be a stupid question to ask... but i am gonna shoot it anyway
i've notice after i flash the 10.1 rom, my RAM reading when up from the factory 444, to now 487MB
some other 10.1 reads in between that figure, but the Alroger CM10.1 seems to give the highest number
even tho it's still far from the factory promised 512MB
dose this mean the total RAM availability can be adjusted?
or is that just a fake reading due to different Kernel version or such?
i mean the phone is now running much smooth then the factory 2.3.6
no sure if that is due to the system trip down from the rom (most likely because of this?)
or the actual 43MB RAM increase....
for the first 3 issues
i have tried wipe and re-flash as some forum have suggested
yet still didn't change anything
any suggestion, info, tips will be most appreciated

After 8 months google finally fix the memory leak in android lollipop. Thanks :crying::crying: Am I dreaming?
Having the memory load increasing is not, in itself, a memory leak.
The Nexus 5 comes with 2 Gb of RAM, the goal is not to have memory load below 300 mb in every case (or you can buy a 512 mb-RAM smartphone)
The leak is a bug in memory management which increase memory load without any limit, thus slowing the device and crashing it. I did not experience this under 5.1 with Franco and stock kernel.
I can confirm that franco kernel does not solve the issue. For me the issue is easily reproduced by opening farm heroes saga and swiping it away, After a couple of times the system ram goes up to 1.4gig

This is kind of interesting. I wonder if the system management is to blame or apps themselves.

did you write about this in bug tracker ? if not plz write so they can look where need to change some thing.
and btw to be frank i'm not having any memory leak or any other buy on 5.1 and i feels everything even better than KK also battery life is as good as KK after 5.1 for me
and finally did you do factory reset After flashing factory image ? if not do it , it seems unnecessary to lot of ppl to F.reset after fresh install but it does solve many problem so do it if you didn't and remember it for every time you flash the rom :good:
Issue stared and '+1 confirmed'.
Can someone mark the bug as critical?

The same problem with franco kernel, bad luck.
To recreate the problem, simply start a game like Farm Heroes Saga, then close it by swiping away. For each time I do this the system memory increases 100mb or more until there is no more space and then cell phone stops responding. Additional I noticed than when I start Farm Heroes Saga for example the free memory on ‘Show Cache Processes’ is negative as can be seen on the print I took, and there is no free memory, this problem can be recreated even in the first minute after boot simply by starting the game.
i don t know if is due to the memory leak but after 3 days (fresh factory image flash) i m facing the annoying launcher redraw and high system memory usage:780 mb with 1,2 gb of peak

I dont want to create a seperate thread so I am asking here. Got Nexus 5 a few days ago, started reading about 5.1 update and memory leak issue. Tried to update to 5.1 but gave up(usb driver issue). Today I noticed that ram usage for apps increases and does not drop down after shutting down apps (games mainly). System ram is constantly about 300-400 but app ram got from 300 to over 600 in about 6 hours. Is this also a memory leak or maybe apps just do not completely shut down?
Memory going up does not mean there is a memory leak, it means memory no longer in use has not yet been garbage collected which is fine.
Yes, I wouldn't go purely on what the stats say in Settings > Apps > Running.
I haven't made my mind up yet - memory usage according to that screen is even higher than it was on 5.0.1 yet apps aren't killed anywhere near as often. Of course, it's early days though.
It's been said before, but sadly the new "norm" is now becoming 3GB RAM for high-end devices... and most new versions of Android are going to aimed at running best on the new handsets. I suppose that's to be expected.

Isnt suppost Linux do same memory management with 2GB or 3GB of Ram?
Wich leads me to if KK,JB and ICS didnt had this memory leak problem how come this happens in LP?

Of course it is,just to force older phones users to buy new high end Android smartphones with more RAM. Now 3GB of RAM s getting standart,next year 3GB of RAM will get too little and 4GB of RAM will become a standart and so on..This is how marketing works.
My N5 (Factory Reset then Flashed Factory Image then Factory Reset) is up since 73 Hours, it uses acutally 490MB RAM for System and 898MB RAM for Apps,
in these 73 Hourse the App-Drawer was not redrawed once. I hope it will run like this for a long time.
The only thing that hasnt work, was the flashing with the Flash-All.bat.

exactly ! but ppl need to understand that what they need with phone.
i don't see any app that need more than 2GBs for ram on market plus multitasking is exceptional in N5 for me bcz i don't use tons of chatting apps who always runs and eats all resources of phone , i use heavy games and N5 still works great with highest graphics...and i bet none of Samsung or any other premium devices works with them as impressive as this 1.5yr old device still do ! so for me N5 is still more than enough
phone shouldn't be excessive better in specs than what you wants from phone. Bcz it does't make any sanse unless one have lots of money and he/she only want to waste it one way or another
I thought this was fixed at first. I picked up my phone this morning and went to check news and the whole thing was froze for like 5 seconds then starting working, but stuttering. Do I checked apps and low and behold I had about ten apps restarting, just like in the previous lollipop. Except this time I only see half my apps restarting (so far) instead of nearly all of them.

sounds like almost my case
I've read several android blogs they claim damaging, HTC, ect have fixed the memory leak in their roms (although I heard people claim this in cm12 also). Just out of curiosity can anyone confirm this is true?
I tried loading and swiping CoC 5 times and my free Ram still remains at 1200.
My battery life has definitely gotten significantly worse after 5.1. Drained over 20% in just an hour with very light usage.
I know that there was a memory leak issue with 5.02 but it's apparently fixed before the fw was deployed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/clarification-xperia-lollipop-fix-t3087240
So that doesn't help explain my issue. Very often, when I have any combination of Spotify + Google Maps, Spotify + Chrome, Chrome + Google Maps, etc open, the app that's in the background will just flat out close. It's stupidly annoying while driving when my music just dies, or when my navigation disappears and I miss my turns because I don't hear any audible alerts. The issue goes away after a fresh restart, and will come back usually within a day or two.
I did not have this issue on 4.4.4.
My free ram hovers around 500-600MB at all times.
RAM status today
RAM Status after fresh restart
I absolutely hate why nothing can be properly backgrounded like in iOS. The moment I press the home button or switch apps, all my open tabs in Chrome have to be reloaded. Filling out forms in a Chrome tab while referencing another app is almost impossible... This was actually an issue on 4.4.4 as well as 5.02. I have not found any way to fix this, no matter how many times I restart my phone. I don't think my old Galaxy S3 had this problem...
Why does Android make us work so hard for a properly working phone, if we can even have that at all? As a consumer I should not have to go through 7 levels of technical hell to make a phone work properly. This isn't Linux.
Sorry for the rant. Anyone know what I can do to fix this? Everyone says RAM clearing apps are bad. So that's not an option right?
.726 has this problem and as far as I can recall it was pretty serious. Fortunately in .26 the problem has been solved. It's about memory management in lollipop being poor rather than memory leak.
.26 hasn't been released for D5803 USA right? I don't see it in the firmware thread
Still doesn't explain the Chrome issue. Whenever anything is backgrounded (not closed) in Chrome, all my tabs have to be reloaded. Most of the time now, even just switching from one tab to the next within Chrome while it's open forces a refresh of the tab. WTF
I never had any memory leak issues with any of the firmwares. Try to turn off Stamina mode just to see if it is affecting (I have it off, and queue background data off as well). Make sure also you have not enabled Developer Options and checked the setting 'Don't keep activities' or some other setting that limit the amount of process you can have in the background.
Dev options are not enabled. And stamina only kicks in at 50% battery. I could turn off que data but does that have anything to do with RAM?
I just called Xperia tech support and they suggested I do this:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperi...uctions-using-Pc-Companion-Win-or/td-p/249946
Has anyone done this and fixed the issue?
I am apparently not the only one who has had this problem:
https://www.reddit.com/r/SonyXperia/comments/356f80/z3c_502_stock_memory_leak_or_something_else/
There's an Xposed module called App Settings that lets you force the OS to keep stuff resident in memory. Because it's an Xposed module, I have no idea if it's compatible with LP or not. Also, there's a point where you can run out of memory and experience involuntary restarts if you keep too many apps resident. Still, it's worth trying, imo.
I was told that the memory leak wouldn't be fixed until 5.1 or even 5.1.1
726 did indeed have this problem. i used the xposed module for the memoryleak fix and it did indeed work...phone was much faster.
People are saying sony phones do not have the leak but the leak affects each phone in slightly different ways.
I the new .28 USA firmware running on my phone now and it is working rather well. granted i still have the lollipop memory fix module activated but i will do some testing with it off as well.
Nope, the problem is not solved in any lollipop firmware, atleast for me. I tried all the latest, reflash and wiped all (Included Internal Data) and the problem still here. Is Ridiculous how with 2GB RAM I can´t have atleast 4 apps opened without the preocupation of they get killed for itself. I remember with my Nexus 7 Tablet in Android 4.3 had a looot of apps opened and no one get killed itself, it was a great multitask experience that I can't get yet in Xperia Z3 Compact. I tried edit minfree values, uninstall apps, change firmwares, edit services.jar, install tweaks, edit my build.prop, etc. Also I noticed with the Task Manager of System Tuner app that "/system/bin/mediaserver" is always eating more than 60mb of Ram, this is since kitkat and continues to happen in Lollipop, after of some hours, this same process can take up to 160 - 200 mb of RAM!!! The worst thing is that in other devices this process don't seems to take a lot of Ram as in Z3 Compact did. Idk, it would be good that we can improve multitask in this device.
I compared the /system/bin/mediaserver usage with a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini and it only takes 5 mb of RAM while in Xperia Z3 Compact it always start eating 50 mb of RAM and it increases up to 160 - 200 mb in some hours. You can see my proofs here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60569610&postcount=9
So Idk what to do now, I hear that the only good devices that take importance in multitasking are HTC M9 (M8 and M7 too) and the Asus Zenphone because they merged their own patches to ART to improve a lot how multitasking is managed in android. I think sony do their devices to kill apps very agressive, so in this way they can presume that his device is more smooth than others but useless for multitasking. Weird...

Hmmm, idk. My GPE m8 on 5.1 is experiencing these same symptoms. Super annoying to have my music cut out in the middle of a workout. ?
I play with my food
I referring to HTC M7, M8 and M9 with Sense, because they get own HTC patches. Well, is what I hear, and also I see some tests in YouTube and the multitask is very good.

Any feedback on how .28 is running compared to .726 with the xposed fix?
Like many, I uninstalled the fix after I read the thread pointing out that having it active was pointless as Sony had already fixed the memory leak themselves, but after reading your reply, I decided to reinstall and sure enough, my phone does seem snappier. Having read the changelog for .28, it didn't seem worth upgrading unless performance was noticeably better.
I will tell you im enjoying .28 with the fix running. There are enough fixes in there to make it worth it i think

Guys, the problem is not how many ram do you have, the problem is if you can multitask some apps without someone get killed. I can multitask within 2 or 3 apps sometimes, but I can't get more than that without someone gets killed...
It was to be expected that Lollipop in Sony devices would be problematic. For the time being, I prefer to stay in KitKat and then make the jump to 5.0.2.

And nobody said otherwise. I said that I prefer staying in KitKat until the Lollipop update is better to making worth the jump
Hi guys,
I stumbled across the problem that my phone recently got slower and slower. I've done some research, which problems can cause my phone to be slowing down that much.
Eventually I discovered the phone's ram to be used to the limit. Most of the time, there were only round about 25 MB free ram, the rest (~825 MB) was already in use. I thought this to be my main problem.
I tried to fix this problem by installing a new rom. I installed liquid smooth from this Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-mini-2/orig-development/rom-liquidsmooth-t3177000
Earlier I had Carbon installed (http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-mini-2/orig-development/rom-carbonrom-t3193493) with the same issue (high ram usage)
Anyway, after updating to a newer rom, deinstalling some apps, trying to get insight into the ram usage, I still didn't get my phone to be running smoothly.
Do you guys have any suggestions on how to get some more free ram so that starting a single app doesn't kill my whole os?
Or any other ideas how to get my phone to be running smoothly?
Best,
Blue

Its normal for RAM to be used to max. Its how Android works. The phone closes apps to open new ones, etc,etc. Android makes the most of it, not like PC's.
i would look instead for something that could be using your CPU.

Are you killing the apps you open or do you use the return key, clearing cache memory..
