I am using Android 2.3.6 stock rom. My phone becomes very slow every 2-3 mins. When i open a task killer it shows 44mb-51mb ram. I have to clear all the apps and still it would show me 65mb-70nb ram. Phone gets ridiculously slow. Please help me with the solution.

Yea, like Samsung Apps, such a memory hog -.-

use another task killer, or stop some services from settings->applications->running apps->from there, stop some apps you think uses your phone's memory too much.
other thing, remove any apps that uses data transfer or any background services.
First stop DATA then u need to stop some APPS like Samsung APPs. The way ur telling invokes that ur in STOCk
try to install custom ROM.
or delete some useless app.
Delete bloatware apps.

reflash n try a custom rom
Are you using the stock task manager, or some app from the market (play)? If you're using an app, then begin by deleting that app. They do nothing good for your phone, quite the opposite in fact. As long as there is free ram left, then the ram is not to blame. And android should free the ram on it's own, so basically you shouldn't even need to free the ram by yourself.
If that is not the reason, then it is some app you have installed, which keeps running on the background and needlessly uses resources. The ace runs fine, even on stock rom. And that means that, either you or some app, is doing something wrong...

Hello all,
what a wonderful forum this is.. i feel like a noob here.. so much knowledge to grasp..
well.. i bought a Optimus 1 and installed advanced task killer.. question is whne i kill application not required and exit advanced task killer.. after 2 3 min again some of these applications start.. music.. gmail.. gtalk.. browser etc..
if i want to kill them for good so that they start ONLY when invoked what can i do??.. will task manager v 3.1 help here??
i knw on a comp this can be done by using msconfig..
how to do this on optimus one..
kindly help please..
Install Titanium Backup and then use the "freeze" function to stop the app from starting.
But dont kill all apps. Its ok to kill/freeze apps like Gtalk if you dont use em often but i suggest you leave browser, music etc running.
They run in the background and dont consume the battery or the cpu. The android system is very efficient in managing apps.
hey kewlsid.. thnks fopr the reply.. i ll install this app..
i didnt knw android manages the apps on its own as stated..
is there a way to figure out which currently active app is taking how much of cpu and memory??
Didn't Android have the feature to stop apps as and when memory goes low? Its a 'feature', apparently.
Also, apps like those are going to start anyway. If you have 150 to 200MB+ memory on LG Optimus One (All apps installed), consider yourself lucky.
You can also have TasKiller which is a bit crappy, but helps you know what app is starting on its own. You can use one of the many system monitors to notify you about the apps that are using much memory (Apps like GMail and GTalk won't consume that much memory, hence not a PITA)
You can remove the stock apps (crappy apps that start up on their own and refuse to go away and you never use) if you root your phone. I guess no one would use GTalk that much?
Leave them alone. Sure, they're using some RAM, but more or less they're not using the CPU, so the battery shouldn't be draining.
Killing + them starting again = more battery wastage.

I back this statement up
The apps should present the battery consumption of each application particularly those connected to the internet. After I kill apps which I choose from the list ( like skype, viber, fring, whether , mail and else , it's could not wake up anymore . Until I run it manually .

I believe having a task killer on the device is a Bad Thing™ since memory management is conducted very efficiently by the Android OS itself. However, if you feel you absolutely MUST have a task killer, there are a lot of them in the market. Don't take my word on it though. Here's some reading material for you to peruse.
Android Forums - What Is The Best Task Manager?
Why You Shouldn't Be Using A Task Killer With Android
Back when I use to use them the best apps for what you ate looking for ate two that can work with each othet made by the same developer.... autorun manager and autokiller memory optimizer... and they have the setting you want, to not allow the app to restart... but be warned... you can terribly frag your system if you don't know what you're doing or if you get trigger happy with the settings
What about apps that present the memory usage of each running apps or process

AutoKiller Memory Optimizer will do what you want in that case
Hy, I have an xperia s 0.73 firmware.
I dont know why, i have everytime opened new aplications in the task killer, and in settings (runing services), i close them, but in a few seconds ar opened again! Like musik player, email, office suite, liveware manager, etc .....
What can i do?
I use advanced task killer, but i think thats not ok to open aplications itselfs.
(Sorry for my english)
Theres a lot of programs built into the Sony that you cannot remove without gaining root access.
You can go to settings/applications/manage applications and the you can remove some of the programs but not all.
yes i know there are o lot of aplications, i dont want to remowe them, just to to someting, to the phone, to not open the aplications itself!!
Liveware will always work cuz its required for hadsets, speakers etc

Are you new to Android? I had this same confusion when I first moved to Android.. Because it runs on a Linux basis it works differently..
2 things to consider.
1, Android will hold programmes in memory but in a suspended state, not using any resources until they are called for from the kernel.
2, with Linux based OS empty memory is wasted memory. (refer to point 1 above!)
Don't try to kill things that the phone need to have running in the background it will waste resources and battery!

So i recommand to remove tjhe task killer?
If your device is rooted, you may try install apps like autostarts
Task killers are ok.. But you only need to use it to kill apps which are causing problems (usually just apps which you have installed rather than any preinstalled or system apps)
And generally a bad idea to use any auto kill apps.. Avoid that!

You just have to live with that unless you are willing to root your phone then use titanium backup to freeze the app. My xps is less than a month old so I just let them be for now because I dont want to root it just yet. There is plenty of ram and does not affect the speed of the phone.

+1 to that. I only use a task killer to get problem apps out of memory sometimes. As a rule android is very good at managing memory.
These things will always start and it usually means the apps stay up quicker.

In addition to that, it doesn't take more or less battery power if the memory is full or empty.
Killing apps and starting them however does take battery power.
OK, THANKS!
I understand.
I thinking about, that open apps are influencing the battery life. But now its clear!
So no auto task killer.
Thanks again!
everytime i kill app in the running apps it returns after few minuts(like facebook or wahtsapp or maps tap tap etc)
it there any task killer that will kill those apps and wond let them to work again?everyone of them taking sometime lot of ram and its very annoying.
jummy's rom toolbox can kill the intent that prevents some apps from launching (doesn't apply on all apps, some apps like hungry sharks can't be prevented from running, I don't know why).
or you can install an alternative app (for example, facebook) that does not run on background
when i see that app or game has background service with out good reason its always uninstall ,facebook need to have it becauce of push notification so i live it.

Ios is not realy multitasking.Android is much better but some developers use it in a wrong way and dont care about your recoures..that is why its uninstall for me..its same on windows..when i instaled official facebook massenger for windows which is crapy simple program i notice that it uses 30% of my cpy which is quad core and 250 mb of ram which is absurd..it shoud use 0.01% of cpy and 10 mb of ram max...i try tu reinstall and the same so uninstall 2..most developers are lazy and dont optimise at all because they thing it will run so why bothering..

Even that ios is not a real multi tasking for me it still smart "multi tasking"because when you exit an app in the middle of something it will freeze it and keep it on low memory and in that way you can open lot of apps and run which one that you want.
And in there when you close an app it wont return to after 5 minuts so you will need to close it again(like whatsapp,facebook,maps,etc)
If I had a 1gb of ram I wouldn't care that whastapp and facebook are open,but I have 512 ram that from that I only have max 220 of free ram so I can't let apps like facebook and whatsapp to be open

They you would not have push notification..if someone send you facebook message you see it same second no matter you are on facebook or not.But i agree that google apps like maps just dont need to have background service.

try freeze apps using Link2SD.
I recently installed a Rom and the ram is consistently at 700mb can anyone advise me on how to lower this say yo 500 - 600mb.
Also is there a app or task manager that will allow me to decide what apps I want to stay open and what ones close after a pre defined time. Dont know if im thinking ahead with this app

Are you managing app auto starts? If not get LBE Security Master and set which apps you want to start up after booting. That will save you some RAM.

actually i have been using LEB for a year or so, and only use it as bandwidth monitor ... that function about disable autostart seems is not very working well because my RAM always got over 700+ MB.
but anyway , consider the Android's RAM management which is quite different to Windows , so i am fine with that ...
just my music player get killed frequently which is very annoying !!!

Freeze some things with titanium backup. Greenify apps you don't need running in the background. I normally always have around 180mb of ram free with widgets on the homescreen, messaging and exdialer in memory, whatsapp, headset manager, google services, quickpic, Facebook notifications etc. Personally not a fan of Swap/ZRam/Supercharger. My best experience has easily been running stock or WanamLite with no tweaks/build.prop edits other than Jkay Deluxe. Also, Perseus kernel has some ram modifications in the kernel so you get an extra 20mb or so of ram
Still do not understand why people want more free RAM; free RAM is doing nothing, while RAM that is being used is caching apps in memory so it can be loaded faster, making a more responsive system. Please research. With that being said, too much RAM usage is not good; about 5% (45mbs on our GS3) should always be left idle.

If you want more ram then you must setup which apps can launch in the background after startup. These are the apps that eat ram because they begin running by themselves and continue running even if you never use them. Of the 80+ plus apps that I have only 4 of them are allowed to startup on boot.
