[Q] ram running low easily

i encountered a problem that my phone always have low ram even if i just started the phone and have not open any apps. the ram always used up above 200mb out of 304mb. and y is it the overall ram is 304mb instead of 512mb which is stated in the specs of sgs

Hi,
You need to have a look at applications and services.
Check what you running (for example livewallpaper is between 11-20MB, every widget using memory as well) it is the same with services, some of them are useless some of them are not.
From my experience 2.3.3 (without any super modding) using something like 100-120MB. I can tell you that with 3 email accounts (including exchange) and some widget my SGS have free 146MB.
Is hard to say what is causing lack of memory on your phone without knowing what is on it.
Regards,

I usually find that lack of ram is from apps running in the background.
I'd suggest getting TaskKiller or ZDBox to kill apps running in the background easily.

Aparently don't quote me I only ready this that the ram is on a flush when needed system I thought ram useage was high try playing game or browse net then kill them and check I found it dropped on jvk jva and now jvh not used jvb gave it a miss

Delete your software update apks. Those are Samsung bloat.

will that update .apks effects, the apps that are to be updated in future?

If you delete the apk's then you wont be able to perform an OTA update (as with deleting any system apps)
Don't be to bothered by app using ram, as long as your not running out it doesn't matter.

App ? About ram

I need a app that freeze apps and make my ram low so I can have more memory some times apps are running when am not even using them I have been using ram manger pro and ram boost but the thing is that on ram boost it don't auto boost so is there any thing I can do

To be perfectly frank, relax a little bit about it. When you see those apps loaded into memory, that's actually a good thing.
What's happening is that the Dalvik app, which is where Android's memory management tool is located, loads apps into memory where it can pull them up quickly. It takes less time for Dalvik to take an app that is loaded in memory and start it up for use than it does for it to pull it from storage, allocate memory, and start it.
Dalvik is usually pretty good about memory allocation, too, so if a program that needs more RAM appears, it will unload other programs from memory to provide the necessary space.
Any memory that isn't loaded with an app is, ultimately, wasted, as Dalvik will clear room as necessary. If you have a lot of memory available, that's all memory that could be used to load apps faster, giving you a better user experience.
If you have a custom kernel on your device, you should be able to find some tools to tweak how Dalvik handles the system (e.g. how much memory it allocates to each app, how it handles the ramping up/down of the processor speed, etc).

But am having heating issues on the phone

IMO, Heating issues can be caused by an app overtaking the processor. that should be where most of your heat is generated anyways, not from the RAM. ON that note, Titanium Back will allow you to Freeze apps.

Rom toolbox (free or paid version) is an invaluable tool also

I understand the apps in the memory being useful part. What confuses and does turn it into an issue is that when you have many apps installed there is many in the memory. So if you are running a couple things and have many apps and the phone runs down to say 35-40mb ish then it sometimes starts to choke. But old phones with slower processors and less ram can go down to 20mbish. Is that just the standard cut off in most ROMs where its starts automatically freeing memory?

P7-L10 ram usage.

Is it normal that p7 have always high ram usage? Just after boot my ram usage is always about 40% after playing 20min games like san andreas ram usage is 70% even if I close it from recent apps. At the moment when Im writing this my ram usage is 58% and I don't have any other apps running.

After I deleted all c..p from Huawei,all google services and all unwanted apk-s on my p7(untill he was working) ram usage goes extremely down.

Why is it an issue? The RAM needs to be as full as possible with apps you frequently use.
When an app needs more RAM, but it's not "available", android removes an app from the RAM you didn't used a while. It's already in sleep mode by then.
Always the same threads in the forums about RAM....they shouldn't put the RAM-available option in the phone

i would not worry about the ram usage. as this is the google 4.4.2 designed for. ( you do do a google search to find lots of info...) 4.4 version will allow max no. of apps to 'stay' in the memory, but NOT active. so next time, it saves battery power to reload them. if you do worry about ram usage, you can set up the 'protected apps' and uncheck all the apps. then when the screen is off, the apps are killed. but next time if you want to use it,it will have to be reboot again.

I have unchecked almost all apps from protected apps. I'm aware of that if app needs ram android will delete apps from recent apps, but my problem is very much like this: At the moment my ram usage is 60% without any apps running or any app in recent apps. If I open GTA san andreas It's laggy as ........ but if I open it right after reboot when ram usage is 40% it's working like a charm. Here is my ram usage after night with no apps running.

Your screenshot don't show that's your apps are closed.
Show a screenshot the tab "Active apps" under the options.
In one case I agree with you. Huawei apps takes to much RAM. My old phone Samsung Galaxy S3 had always ca 350 MB RAM free from 1GB RAM and I had more apps installed. Now with Huawei (my first Huawei), I have 2GB RAM and it's at most 800MB free RAM.
So then I compare, my Samsung used only 700 mb ram (with more apps and running apps) and Huawei take 1200MB RAM (with lesser apps).
What I saw sometimes, that's installed apps use more RAM on Huawei than on my Samsung.

S10 doesn't keep any apps open and has high RAM usage

My Snapdragon S10 is having a weird issue with RAM management. Over the course of a full day, basic apps like the Phone app or Textra will be closed and will need to be refreshed in memory when I open them.
I look at RAM under Device Care and there's around 5.5GB used and 1.9GB free. This is much lower than the free RAM I got on my Note 9 which usually has over 4GB free at all times.
I have Adaptive Battery disabled in the Battery settings as well. There's nothing that should be closing all my apps in the background.
Anyone else get this problem?

Think a few of my apps, like Twitter and Samsung watch app are having this issue.

I'm down to 1GB of free RAM now on a 8GB phone...
Apps opened in background right now:
Phone
Textra
Whatsapp
Kiwi Browser
Gmail
Google Photos
No games and no heavy apps. How is the free RAM so low? And in a few hours all of these apps will get closed and I'll have to reopen them.

Anyone else with this problem? How much free RAM do you currently have? And not off a fresh reboot

I have the 12gb version and have been experiencing this. It seems to clear some apps if the phone has been on staying for a couple hours.

I have the same issue. The phone becomes really slow after like 2 days of use and had RAM usage of 6.8GB. I checked in Developers settings and it says that AndroidOS and systemUI use both 5.7GB?!?! Any fix or should we report to Samsung?

I have the exynos variant and apps never close for me. Currently it's using 4.7gb out of 8gb with 14 apps open.
I checked if the apps reloaded and they didn't. Under developer settings it says that the OS is using 2.2gb, Android is using 297mb and systemui is using 246mb.
Adaptive battery is on and uptime is probably 4 or 5 days.
