RAM always at 70% on MI5

Hello fellow MI5 users,
I received my phone one week ago and I start having some issues with the RAM. In fact, at the start of the phone, it's already at 70% filled up which is too much for me. Indeed I use a lot of RAM and I'm that type of guy who let the apps running in background everytime because I keep opening them everytime. I was wondering if it was possible to have a link to a better ROM because I guess it's the problem and also a link for a tutorial on how to flash it I'm a newbie in this type of manipulation but I'm very interested so I hope you will help me guys. By the way, my MIUI version is the MIUI 8 Global 6.8.18. I honestly don't know what can i give as information but I'll answer ASAP at any questions
Have a good day

This is working as design - Android keeps apps in RAM to reduce I/O on resuming from background - faster & more energy efficient.
You can change the number of background processes via the development settings or you can kill apps on closing.

I've seen that indeed but it was set at standard so I'll probably put it at 3 I guess. How should I set the memory optimization? I've read it should be set off, altough I tried middle and I feel comfortable like that?
Is it normal to start at 70% without anything started ?

For the 3GB version? Pretty much. MIUI is horrible.
After booting I typically had 1.3GB / 3.0GB free but after a while this averaged to around 650MB free.

I know that but I need more because I use multi-task a lot. Is there a way to change the ROM so I have more space to work with? Even if the ROM itself is beautiful.
Indeed it's the 3gb version 32gb. It have lags sometimes and I think it's due to the full RAM. Can I have a link to a custom ROM which works fine on this device?

I'm a little confused, you want as much RAM available but you want as many processes in the background as well? That sounds contradicting to me. Memory optimization maps to ZRAM, if you set it off there will be no memory compression and thus even less processes will be kept in the background. If you set it high, you can have as many processes as possible, but there could be lag due to (de)compression time overhead.

Try different Rom
Try to use a different Rom. On the Stock Rom is a lot of bloatware which is using your RAM too.
First you need to get an Bootloader unlock permission and have to unlock the BL.
It could take up to 10 Days to get the permission from Xiaomi
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/how-to/unlocking-xiaomi-mi-5-bootloader-t3336243
After that you have to flash a recovery like trwp via ADB. Google it for videos or threads how to do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/recovery-twrp-xiaomi-mi-5-t3412123
After that you can flash a developer Rom.
I use the Resurrection Remix and it works fine. The CM 13 stucks in Bootloop. Maybe because I made a full wipe and had to sideload my rom.
Because you don't have a SD card option you have to have the room installed on your hard drive. But just follow the description below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-5/development/unofficial-resurrection-remix-m-5-6-9-t3395945
It took me just 1 day to get the unlock permit but don't try do do it without it. You brick your phone.
The RR Rom works really fine. Fingerprint and everything. It has no bloatware and you have to get the gaps like in the description. Arm64 nano seems enough.
Good luck and fun with a great phone.
Normally the android system kills the unused apps even in background. But i also experienced lack in multitasking.

I think you misunderstood the OP question, he wanted more free RAM at start in order to have as many as possible apps in the background.

In fact, I'm just doing some research before asking because I'm very new. I have found some videos but they are pretty old and not on this phone but I guess it works more or less the same way

OK, in that case, just open Security->Permissions->Autostart and disable those which aren't immediately needed upon start. I have 18 autostart items (mostly system monitoring & social media apps) and I usually start with 1.5 GB free RAM.

Various phone problems (P20 Pro)

Hi all,
I did make a thread as a guest user but unfortunately I can't find it anymore so I've made an account and I'll repost/better explain the issues I've come across.
1) RAM Management
Whenever I close all active apps it says it has around 3GB of memory available, the phone comes with 6GB of memory so I'm wondering why it's only giving me 3GB available, surely the OS can't be using the other 3GB to run.
2) The camera
Right so this one comes down to the low light photography, I've upgraded to the P20 Pro from the Samsung S7 Edge. The S7 Edge did low light photography pretty damn well, and in the release conference Huawei state that the device can reach an ISO of 102400 however when in the Pro mode I can only set the slider to be 3200, yet the automatic mode takes it up to 6400. I find it very odd that an automatic setting can go higher than a manual one.
On my S7 Edge I can take a photo in an unlit room and still have it turn out reasonably well, I am expecting the P20 Pro with it's alleged high ISO to provide a better image, yet when I try this with the same settings as the S7 Edge I get a black image. I'm willing to put this down to user incompetence as I'm not a photographer... so if anyone can explain this to me then I'd be greatly appreciative.
3) Game resolutions
I copied all apps from my old phone to the P20 Pro, but half of them don't work. When the apps first launch I get the option to keep them at their native resolution or to force a fullscreen mode, no matter which option I select the menus for the games are all skewed and off screen. It renders most of my games unplayable (pun not intended). Could this be a resolution problem with the phone?
4) The Camera (again)
When taking portrait shots, the background is blurry. This is actually a pretty nice feature but sometimes I want to get a picture of me WITH something decorative on a wall behind me. I can't find a setting to turn the blur off.
5) Phone Management (the in built app)
This one is pretty straight forward to explain, IT NEVER REACHES 100%. The highest it's ever been is 96%, right now my phone is fully charged, has no apps open, is not performing any background tasks and is at 90% efficiency. I don't understand what it takes to get to 100%.
I'm sure there will be fixes for things as apps update and patches are released but if anyone could provide any assistance on the issues mentioned above then that'd be awesome.

I'll answer the following
2) Same iso settings on mine, switch to pro and change the settings
3) Either clear the data/cache or uninstall and reinstall the games from play store, remember this is a different phone and the defined settings could be wrong
4) click on the icon in bottom left (highlighted orange) to turn it off/on
Where did you get the phone from, which sim you using, which firmware you on.

Regarding the portrait question, when in portrait mode there are 3 settings above the shoot option, press the one on the left to turn bokeh off.

yours is single sim and different firmware to mine is dual sim and firmware CLT-L29 8.1.0.102(C782)
I did miss off on the iso info that the high iso is only selected automatically by the phone when it's needed, ideally it would be good if could set the iso manually as well to the full range

Regarding 3: I could imagine its a programming issue. Depending on what method the games use to obtain information about screen sizes they could bypass options like fullscreen mode or so. This could be a problem on the phone software side that the fullscreen or native option is not overriding all access methods or the games not using the android API correctly.

I hope thet they will get us ISO 102400 and shutter speed 60 seconds for Pro Mod in updates. If you look at P20 Pro lunch day you will see that they shoot photo with 58 seconds of shutter speed. Now P20 Pro can just shoot maximum 30 seconds of shutter speed.

Nobody said they don't like the phone? I actually quite like it. I've come to this forum because this is literally the only place where some people could have answers to some questions I have about it, whether they be a fault with the phone or my misunderstanding of the functions.
Your comment posed no benefit to any of the questions raised, you don't need to comment. It's really unnecessary.

Actually, the first person who's comment I deleted said multiple things about not liking the phone. The reason you can't see it is because, as I said in the post that you felt necessary to reply to, I have cleaned the thread of said messages.
Your reply to a moderator's post posed no benefit to the way that the forum is run and maintained, you don't need to comment. It's really unnecessary. Do it again and you'll find that you'll be reprimanded. Have a wonderful day. :victory:

Android system is consuming much more battery after v11.0.3.0 update

After i updated my RN8 to miui v11.0.3.0 the battery backup has gone significantly worse. Seems like Xiaomi deliberately reduces the battery backup after each update. It was best in v10 and has only gone worse with each subsequent updates.
Also if anyone could, please go to your RN8's settings>Apps>manage apps> click on three dots on the top right corner>'show all apps'> now search for"Android system" and click on it. Check whether the blur app preview is enabled or disabled by default for "Android system". Share the screenshot (if you can) or otherwise just comment. Please do answer. Thanks

I totally agree with you as someone who doesn't use his phone often the battery could last for 2 days without charging and when I put the phone in charge the battery always more the 20% now it last one day and half I must put it in charge after getting many warning
I found that the blur app preview is enabled

Is there any information on how to throttle the CPU down for people who dont play games?

How To Guide S21 Force 120Hz!

So this is a huge discovery I made! Myself and many others are annoyed at the fact that Snapchat drops to 60Hz whenever the camera is activated. I found a workaround that allows it and other applications to remain at 120Hz even when the camera is in use! (One UI 3 only)
** BYPASS ADAPTIVE REFRESH RATE WITH CAMERA / GAMES **
(Guide 1 of 2)
For my friends over at Samsung Members looking to fix 120Hz, scroll down until you see Guide 2 of 2!!
What you'll need:
* Set Edit (free on the playstore)
Make sure you are not using power saving mode, and you have your refresh rate set to adaptive. Now launch Set Edit and enter the system table in the selector at the top right of your screen.
Look for the first line: "min_refresh_rate"
Tap that line and hit "Edit Value". Enter very specifically: 24.0
Hit "Save Changes"
Do the same exact thing for the next line: "peak_refresh_rate"
If for whatever reason these lines are missing, you can add them by scrolling all the way up and hitting "Add new setting". I'm not sure why it varies for some users..
And we're done! If you open Snapchat, Instagram, or an app that uses the camera, the refresh rate will stick to 120Hz.
I hope these instructions were clear enough!
The way I believe this works, is the adaptive refresh rate breaking because the minimum and maximum values are set to an unsupported value, thus causing the system not to be able to adjust the refresh rate.
Samsung made some changes on One UI 4, and it still does drop to 60Hz when you don't use the screen, or use Google Maps / Stock Camera. This does not occur on One UI 3.
** FIX 120HZ BUG ON ONE UI 4 **
(Guide 2 of 2)
What you'll need:
* Set Edit (free on the playstore)
Make sure you are not using power saving mode, and you have your refresh rate set to adaptive. Now launch Set Edit and enter the system table in the selector at the top right of your screen.
Look for the first line: "min_refresh_rate"
Tap that line and hit "Edit Value". Enter very specifically: 120
Hit "Save Changes"
Do the same exact thing for the next line: "peak_refresh_rate"
Set the value to: 120
If for whatever reason these lines are missing, you can add them by scrolling all the way up and hitting "Add new setting".
After you get an update that fixes the bug, it's important you change min_refresh_rate back to 48 , and peak_refresh_rate to 120 !

I created an account just to express my gratitude miss / mister !!

One known issue: Screen Brightness set to low causes it to be stuck at 60Hz regardless of the setting. Minor tradeoff at low brightness

You can use galaxy Max hz app for this too.

What you'll need:
* Set Edit (free on the playstore)
* A computer that has ADB installed
* A charging cable.
I'll leave out the details on how to set up adb, we should know how to do this is 2021.. There are also plenty of detailed guides out there!
Make sure you are not using power saving mode, and you have your refresh rate set to adaptive. Now launch Set Edit, and grant the permission it tells you to with the adb shell command (it'll show you what to enter if you tap a line, and hit Edit Value).
After the secure settings permission is granted, enter the system table in the selector at the top right of your screen.
Look for the first line: "min_refresh_rate"
Tap that line and hit "Edit Value". Enter very specifically: 24.0
Hit "Save Changes"
Do the same exact thing for the next line: "peak_refresh_rate"
And we're done! If you open Snapchat, Instagram, or any third party app, the refresh rate will stick to 120Hz. It's unknown as to why the stock Camera still switches to 60Hz, but I don't care about that too greatly..
I hope these instructions were clear enough!
The way I believe this works, is the adaptive refresh rate breaking because the minimum and maximum values are set to an unsupported value, thus causing the system not to be able to adjust the refresh rate.
It still does drop to 60Hz when you aren't using the screen, so don't worry about that.
It's worth noting that this works on both One UI 3.0 and One UI 4 beta 2!
Works with most games and apps I've tested that previously reduce the refresh rate.
Google Maps is still stuck to 60Hz for example.

I dont know how to do abd .. can help?

No problem! If you go into your phone settings, scroll down and tap About Phone > Software Information > Tap the Build Number until it says Developer Options turned on.
Now go back to your settings and look for Developer Options at the bottom. Carefully scroll down and look for USB Debugging. Turn it on.
Now you'll need a laptop or computer for this next part! Go on XDA and look for a decent ADB tutorial. After adb is installed, you can plug your phone in. Open adb on the computer, and type adb devices.
You're phone should prompt you to allow that computer's signature, just tap allow.
Then you can type adb shell, and then input what the app tells you to.. If you encounter any more issues, don't hesitate to message me!

Hey ! I just found your post today... and tried it immediately on my Galaxy S21+. I searched something like that for so long!
You're an absolute genius! It's working perfectly for now, yet I'm a little surprised : it seems to work even in Google Maps and the stock camera. I didn't reboot the phone though, maybe it won't work after a reboot. It seems to work in low brightness too for the moment! By the way, SetEdit didn't ask me to do anything with adb. I just added the two lines you mentioned. Is that normal?
Thank you so much for that! I hope it'll stay like that even after a system update... we'll see!

SetEdit (usually) asks me. Maybe it's able to edit that line without the adb permission (all I know is it asked me lol).
Glad it's working for you!!
And it should work after updating. I've updated twice in the One UI 4 beta and it still works

Yes it works even without adb ...

Working even after a restart.
I was wondering what would happen if min refrest rate is set to 1 and max refresh rate is set to 120 .. ( thats what the screen is capable of )

The system won't lower it any lower than 48. If you're using my custom values, it'll vary from 60 to 120 until you restore stock values.

Not sure what anyone would want to force to 120 when the smart refresh rate LTPO works very well. There's also noticeable battery savings.
You will see slightly better smoothness at the cost of battery life.... but LTPO is more than adequate where it stands now, IMHO.
Edit: I didn't see some users were having problems with apps like Snapchat. I see this might be the only temporary solution until that's fixed.

Yea I intended this fix for that very issue with Snapchat / any app that accesses the camera. Interestingly enough, it still uses adaptive refresh rate, my guide just breaks the 60Hz with camera applications restriction somehow.

For me, it didn't even impact battery life. But my S21+ (Exynos) wasn't really good to begin with, so I didn't notice any major battery drain with that "fix". And yes, it was mainly because of apps that used the camera (like Snap or even Google Messages) that I applied this workaround.
By the way, it's still working after the November security patch. Still amazed by this device after many iPhones!

Question My Samsung Galaxy Tab S8+ performs really bad.

Hello, I just bought myself a Samsung Galaxy Tab s8+ a few days ago. I tested genshin impact on it and gets really underwhelming performance (high sub 30 fps with bad frame pacing, and low reaching only 40 fps)
I then try to test with 3dmark and I got this score on the screenshot below. Am I scammed or something? I bought this from official retailers. Any help would be appreaciated.

Yes it should be better. i heard they under-clocked the tab cuz there'd no vertical room for a heat sink. maybe something with that ?

I think it's a problem with my unit specifically. I tried doing a 3dmark test with other demo unit in stores and it gets 8000+ scores. I'm not sure if my unit has problem hardware/software-wise

I WANT to believe it's because i still didn't flashed a newer firmware (it's on some from november 2021, 3 months before official release - it even got the s7 stock wallpapers), so it's driver related. But yeah, mine is lacking in horsepower also. It skipped some of the antutu's bench tests, while Geekbench gave it 1250 single core to 2400 multicore. Every single test i put it through (benchs, device validation etc) says it is an sm-x806, though.
One other thing is also the ram pool it has. Mine's only 6,9 available (1,2 reserved for something), android system using up to 5,5 all the time. So, actually i have less ram in it than in my s21 (up to 3gb), wich is on latest update available.

Does the app SD Maid help ? I am a minority user in that I am rooted and so I get the tricks of SD Maid Pro. Sadly, now I am a freezing maniac ! In GeekBench 5, I got a score of : 1223 and 3443. I am on Android 13 now.
( on Amazon, I got the 906N )

Another way to get the tablet to run better is to remove bloatware. Below is a list I came across on the web.
Of course, all praise go to the hard work the web page maker did... ( Helen ? )

I got about the same score from Antutu and Geekbench. Also has around 3-4 gigs of ram available at any given time with no apps running. My model is SM-X806B.
I've been thinking if it's driver related but I'm not sure what to do. Also thinking about Overclocking it but it's brand new and I don't want to get it rooted yet. It's really frustating how low the performance is set by Samsung. I was expecting some beast of a tablet but this sucks.

They listed pretty much all samsung apps in that link. I don't think all of them is "safe to remove bloatware". Got to be careful.

I WANT to believe it's because i still didn't flashed a newer firmware (it's on some from november 2021, 3 months before official release - it even got the s7 stock wallpapers), so it's driver related. But yeah, mine is lacking in horsepower also. It skipped some of the antutu's bench tests, while Geekbench gave it 1250 single core to 2400 multicore. Every single test i put it through (benchs, device validation etc) says it is an sm-x806, though.
One other thing is also the ram pool it has. Mine's only 6,9 available (1,2 reserved for something), android system using up to 5,5 all the time. So, actually i have less ram in it than in my s21 (up to 3gb), wich is on latest update available.

Just an update:
I finnaly grow a pair and did the update. Too expensive to be ****ing around. Glad my country is part of yhe OXM code, so it disnt break anything when i changed from EUX to ZTO, even though it remain as EUX.
Performance had a great jump. TAB rarely display stutters, even on power saving settings. Before then, it was choppy as f. Memory pool also has widen, as up to 4gb to use. Benchs, though realtime experience had significantly improve during tests, did not improve that much on numbers. Antutu gave me 650000, while geekbench gave 1210/2860, still below the average. Could be because I live in Brazil, and they must have concerns about temperature.
All of the errors I was dealing with also got resolved. No more red flashing borders when upside down, no more update errors, nomore sudden crash/glyphs when playing games.

No cooling solution whatsoever.
Thermal MOD (hardware) Galaxy TAB S8 Ultra
This might not be useful for many, but if anyone wondered why their TAB performs "bad" under heavy usage (gaming, benchmarks, etc...) S8 series (all of them) have almost next to none existent "cooling" solution. Here is the S8 Ultra for example...

Most of us will never fix it. Samsung F'd us BIG time? So return your SCAMSUNG TAB ASAP. I wish I can.
Never ever gonna buy Samsung again after this one.
And battery drain is insane, especially on idle....

Another way to get the tablet to run better is to remove bloatware. Below is a list I came across on the web.
Of course, all praise go to the hard work the web page maker did... ( Helen ? )

I uninstalled game booster, game tools and game launcher and disabled game optimization services with adb Commands then turned ram plus off and disabled or put into deep sleep unwanted apps and it made a big difference in game play and battery life for my s8 11 inch.

Game booster, game launcher, game optimization services have to be uninstalled/disabled with adb Commands. From what I found you need uninstall game booster, game launcher and game tools with adb then disable game optimization services with adb then it will stay disabled even after reboot but try check just search game booster or game launcher in settings and if nothing pops up then it's uninstall or to can go to system apps and look for game optimization services and see if it says disabled.

Posilňovač hier, spúšťač hier a služby optimalizácie hier je potrebné odinštalovať/zakázať pomocou príkazov adb. Z toho, čo som zistil, potrebujete odinštalovať game booster, game launcher a herné nástroje pomocou adb, potom deaktivovať služby optimalizácie hier pomocou adb, potom to zostane deaktivované aj po reštarte, ale skúste v nastaveniach zaškrtnúť iba vyhľadať game booster alebo game launcher a ak sa nič nezobrazí, potom je to odinštalovanie alebo môžete prejsť do systémových aplikácií a vyhľadať služby optimalizácie hier a zistiť, či sa nepíše, že je zakázané.

To re-enable Samsung Game Services on a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8, you can follow these steps:
Open the Samsung Galaxy Store app on your Galaxy Tab S8.
Search for "Game Launcher" in the search bar.
Find and select "Game Launcher" from the search results.
If the Game Launcher app is already installed, tap on "Open" to launch it. If it is not installed, tap on "Install" to download and install it.
Once Game Launcher is open, tap on the three vertical dots (More options) in the top right corner of the screen.
From the drop-down menu, select "Settings".
In the Game Launcher settings, look for the option "Samsung Game Services" or "Enable Game Services" and toggle it to the "On" position.
If prompted, follow any additional on-screen instructions to complete the process.

I did a factory reset to re enable Game services and the game I play is playing better now. I'm running galaxy app booster 1-2 times a week and wiping cache partition and repair apps 1-2 times a month. I also am using thermal guardian set to max(slider all the way to the right) with all additional settings off. In game booster make sure auto manage performance is off and I'm using the labs setting for alternate game performance. In device settings I have all additional settings off and disabled or put to deep sleep stuff like Bixby, are doodle , etc. I also have ram plus off
