Why the Ram usage is so high with minimum 4 to 5 extra apps installed? Due to that I think the 3gb ram is not sufficient for z3+. Any suggestion to reduce ram usage?
i m also facing problem in z3 plus.. its taking much ram .. there is problem in wireless headphone when its taking so much ram . after restart prob is solve . after 2 days same prob again.. so you should keep restart your phone within 2 days intervals.
I ll downgrade to lollipop. Sometimes I wish someone can cook a jelly bean 4.3 ROM for our z3+.

Hello,
i think many Galaxy Note users have noticed the lags after usage of some applications.
What is that? Maybe a memory leak ? the memory usage is also very high...
but what exactly causes these lags?
Bugs that will get fixed.
I disabled alot of bloatware and always close applications but i need a substantial ram usage and wanted to know if this was normal.
Phone isnt slow or anything, but i thought this looked like it was using more then i expected

That is normal. Lower RAM usage means increased lag. Higher RAM usage means reduced lag. Disabling apps ("bloatware" or otherwise) has almost no impact on RAM usage.
When RAM usage is high, that means the OS is doing it's job and teeing up all the apps you are likely to run next. If those apps were not ready to go and waiting in RAM, they would need to be loaded into RAM first, which causes lag.

thanks for the information. The phone is defiantly not slow and didnt think it was a major issue unless it affected performance.
s5 is great
Hello, I am using a z1 C6902 on lollipop 5.1.1. My free ram is about 350 - 500 mb. However i got intensive lag when unlocking the phone or turning on data or wifi or switching between apps . Using showing the cpu stats in developer options, the phones shows that i have the very long blue area. Usually system_server and kdswap0 is the culprit. I tried disabling swap but still has big i/o wait. Does anyone have the same problem?
Since the P20 does have 6 GB of memory the usage never seems to exceed ~51%.
Is there a threshold?
Also boost app, after intense use, sometimes crashes and restarts.
So I suspect the real memory usage to be restricted to save battery?

RAM uses power whether it stores a 1 or a 0 so it's always active. Ram usage won't affect battery life. The os just manages the ram to keep sufficient available for running foreground apps etc and closes or minimises background ones as needed. I've seen mine go as low as 2gb available.

Hello guys,
I would like to ask you, what is your average ram usage? because the lowest I could go for is 5GB after using memory guardian to close all apps and average usage is 6-6.5 GB. Highest is 7.4 GB
I find the average so high, because I was using same apps on my previous A70 phone and only 4-5 gb was used.
Is that normal?
Are you guys using any third-party app to clean your ram automatically?
A70 has only 6GB of RAM. You were using 80-90% of it (4-5GB).
S21U has 12/16 GB of RAM and you're using 50-60% of it (6-8 GB), even for the "lower" RAM variant.
That's very good brother. If the remaining 4 GB RAM is lying unused, or if you had more, like 8 GB free, how would that benefit your user experience? One of the reasons to buy flagships like this is the large RAM. But that would be pointless if it were never even used, right?
Apps kept in RAM can be woken up and ready to instantly with less energy expenditure. Those that get unloaded from the RAM, are also eventually loaded back - but that is from the internal UFS 3.1 storage, which is slower than LPDDR5 RAM, and wastes much more energy (battery) for a full app start instead of resuming from suspended state in RAM.
I stopped using RAM clearing apps or even OEM cleaning services few years ago. Android manages RAM very well on the newer versions, and I haven't seen any advantage of clearing apps or RAM as an end user. It only helps if you have a rogue app that runs in the background constantly. Usually, the battery health monotoring built in Android will alert yourlself to it and you can choose to put it to deep sleep or disable or uninstall the offending app. But short of bad apps, most other services don't need manual motitoring and constant user maintenance.
When free RAM falls below what the phone needs, it will kill the last/least pioritised task and re-claim it for use. As a user, you shouldn't have to bother with managing it manually.
Yup, as @enigmaamit said, don't worry and stop bothering with ram cleaning apps. I also used to try and clean my RAM back in the day but that was only necessary on the 2GB and maybe 4GB RAM phones. Since the 6GB RAM phones, cleaning apps have been useless.
The reason your a70 was using less is because it had less and the system had to decide how much to fill and how much to leave free to maximize performance.
Carry on and worry not.
On android, free ram is wasted ram. Remember this and stop using useless "memory cleaning" apps. All they do is slow your phone down and kill your battery life. Same with clearing app cache. Only do it if you have a problem with the respective app.
