I have a Xiaomi Redmi note 10S, it's got the G95 mediatek and 6gb of ram yet it doesn't seem to keep more than 2-3 apps open in background. I don't know if it's the battery saver or the security app clearing the memory or stopping the apps but it's stupid. It behaves like it's only got 2 gb of ram. I've disabled MiUI Optimizations in developer settings but when I left it overnight it just massively drained the battery. Even with those disabled I did open a bunch of apps and still loosing some of them despite not hitting the memory limit. What else can you do? Change the OS?
You can turn off miui optimization in dev options but it will break a dozen other things

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
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.
Smartphone hardware these days are close to perfection. The performance is overkill. The only bottleneck is the software. Crappy software prevents the users from getting the full potential of the device. I am not certain if these issues are just software related alone, if it is, then I hope Xiaomi could fix this. Flashing the latest EU ROM didn't help, so there must be an issue within MIUI's core.
1.) The phone heats up really fast
- Is this because of Samsung 5nm? I could not believe that a 5nm could heat up so easily. I am not claiming that the phone is overheating.
I have not faced any fps drops in game. I have to remove my case when playing games. Running a background app like Bittorent/Utorrent or any other downloading service will surely heat your phone quite fast, to the point where it is no longer comfortable to hold. I hope custom rom and custom kernel development will rise, so we can manually adjust the CPU frequency.
2.) 120hz is not smooth. There are noticeable micro-stutters.
I tried using the force 120hz adb command, but still I am getting micro-stutters when scrolling through apps and multi-tasking. This could be probably mean that the app itself is not optimized for 120hz phones, but Facebook, Instagram and Chrome are still having stutters and these are mainstream apps.
I could not fully enjoy the 1440p + 120hz HDR display. I already tried going down to 1080p and turning off battery saving mode. The phone would just hop between 60hz and 90hz without reason, and you have manually go to the display settings to turn on 120hz because it would just set to 60hz by itself!
S23 has been reported to have excellent battery life.
However, do you guys still optimize it for even better battery life?
Below are what I have done on previous S22 because of it's notorious battery life:
1. Followed [GUIDE] [NO-ROOT] Complete Samsung OneUI Optimization
- Most settings applied
- Phone set up without Smart Switch
- Adaptive Battery disabled
2. Installed [App]Galaxy Max Hz (Refresh Rate Mods, Screen-off Mods, QS Tiles, Tasker Support and More)
- Adaptive Refresh on Power-Saving mode On
- Adaptive Min 10Hz, and Max 120Hz
- Force Lowest Hz on screen-off (10Hz)
3. Settings
- Sync disabled
- Always-On Display - Tap to show
- NFC, Location, off when not in use
- Power Saving mode 24/7 (Thanks to Galaxy Max Hz app, 120hz still remains)
I am honestly blown away how good the battery life is. I was used to barely 5 hours of sot with my OP7T and now over 10 hours while I have two sims active all the time, bluetooth connected to my watch, AOD always on and rooted device with plenty of root apps running in background all the time. I tried to discharge it during one day, but I failed. Yesterday I had 8:15 sot while 30% left and I am quite a power user (reddit, youtube, social media, 2 hours of pubg, some taking of pictures and more). And I havent even started to optimize the device myself (like uninstall or disable the preinstalled apps, galaxy max hz app and more). I will, once I have more time, but from the battery perspective it is not even necessery.

That's a damn lot of optimisations. That's too much lol

I checked this topic. It's crazy so many things he disables. The smartphone has nothing smart left..
And the most curious thing is that he kept animations ^^
I was about to suggest you to put 0x to all three dev options
You will feel your phone snappier and I guess it is a battery optimisation.
120hz dont work here in psm.

120hz works in psm with Galaxy Max Hz app, from here
Ok got IT with the "game booster" Method
