I go to the quick settings and the total memory is 829MB.. 624MB used and 204MB free. There are NO applications running on the task manager. Is 204 normal or should I have more? If so, what should I do to get more?
Thank you

The task manager only kills some apps, the most ive had free is 689 and that was with CapRom, sense is a ram hog

well in my experience with Energy Rom, Xboarder's roms and even ICS you always have around 350-440mb free when no running aything.

Well that makes sense. My phone is out of the box normal. I guess I need to start rooting it. I dont wanna run out of memory in the end while using apps.
It says 830MB total. And with all my widgets i have 198MB free
I've got 219 free. Having more ram doesn't affect anything unless you are running out. That's when stuff starts slowing down.

Sorry if this has been talked about. But didn't find much on it. Are anyone using it? Do you recommended it? Free or paid version? I have tried the free one but didn't notice any thing.

Worst app I ever bought. At first I thought it was the mutts nuts but as I learnt more about what my phone was really doing I realised that I used more battery with it running than without.
Don't get me wrong though its brilliant if you hardly touch your phone but if like me you cannot put it down then its absolutely pointless, I much preferred using a combination of apps to save battery's, llama a free task automation app, autostarts to stop things running in the background and fast reboot pro to free up some memory.

@scratch: as far as i know you don't even need to install any auto killer to terminate apps cuz Android has a feature through which it shuts down unnecessary apps when free space is required...

Nowhere did I mention any task killer and just fyi I know perfectly well how androids built in task killer works!
I also know that the android task killer has exactly the same flaw deep down as any auto taskkiller, all apps have certain parameters which when met will enable an app to start. These parameters range from things such as switching on wifi or mobile data to simply plugging in your charger therefore even the built in taskkiller is slightly flawed as an app which has been killed before can just restart as soon as one of its parameters are met.
Check out the app I mentioned autostarts which isn't a taskkiller as such but more stop the task parameters from being met in the first place.

I have a problem with my Evo 3D that i used to have it back on my wildfire. It's something that i really don't get it. And by now , no one could explained it to me.
It's about the free memory.
In task killers shows me a value , in android system another one , and in htc task manager almost the same as in task killer.
Why the difference? And why the android show's me 459 mb free ? ( 459+268 doesn't give 1024 mb Ram)
probably the rest of the memory is used by the system or graphics
Nothing to worry about. Actual taskers will never be accurate. Check out v6 Super and that will probably show you your actual free RAM as it did in the application manager view.

The device should have 512mb but when im in the task manger i see that there are only 376mb of ram why is it?is it because the rom?because i remember that in the stock rom i got 381mb but now i only have 376mb is the tweaks that i did made that?
Thanks for all the helpers!
I.E
I just saw in the settings that i only have 263 ram(152 used+191 free)so which one is correct?the task manager or the settings menu?
I believe it is like the 8gb of storage and you only get around 5.5gb. Not all the ram is available for use to use, and I think that is for some of the background processes that are running to keep everything stable. I haven't used the stock rom in a while but I know that the max ram you get is 341mb, and yes some of the tweaks you do can increase/decrease ram.

You have 512mb of RAM in total but a certain amount is dedicated to the GPU to render the visuals. ~375 for apps and ~140 for graphics.
You can change how much is dedicated by doing what is called ramhack. But i don't know if its possible on the players. Search before making a new thread about it.

Did you read the settings wrong? Or its just messed up? I think that it meant 263mb of RAM was in use atm. So you would have ~110mb free (or the opposite).

No i read it fine,i upload some pictures so you will see.
Take care that the screen shot app should not be working in normal use so there should be in there 5-7mb more.
Anyway as u can see the task killer show different size of ram and the running apps shiw different size of ram....

That 125 is used by the OS and programs and process you see on the list.But android in setting does not show all ram used..he lies a little and always show more free ram then any other app reports.

What are your thoughts on using task killers or memory management apps on our S4s? I'm a bit mixed and not sure which one's are of the best benefit or work correctly.
I have the app: Temp/Cpu Widget : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sanels.tempcpuv2
which shows the "Free Memory" amongst other things on my home screen.
I definitely notice overall screen transitions and the loading of apps, ect... much more fluid when the free memory reports around 700ish or above
If it dips below 500 things seem to lag a bit.
Only way I've found to retrieve the memory back to the preferable amount to gain back performance is to use one of several available task killers or memory free up apps but I've read mixed reports on using these.
Is there a better way at keeping the max free memory for performance OR is there a preferable memory management tool you are using?
Lol! I was expecting quite a bit of chatter on this but nothing. :angel:
Maybe I should have put it in the Q & A section but I felt like not only did I point out a useful app being that Temp-Cpu app I linked to playstore but brought up an open discussion about said apps and in regards to the S4.

The s4 practically has a built in task manager so not many would even consider an extra app to accomplish the same task.

Agreed. That is what I use when on a TW ROM. On CM I just use the close all function in the recent apps window. Though RAM never seems to be as scarce on AOSP ROMs so I rarely clear apps.

I use Clean Master and Lagfix running stock rooted touchwiz and have no lag whatsoever. Most the time I have 40-50% free memory, and I'm not a fan of task killers but this works great. Lagfix is a free app in the play store. Its similar to fstrim on a computer and manufacturers are going to be including it in future releases.

Thanks for reminding me of Lagfix. Giving that a shot.
I've found that the "broom" feature in "Floating Toucher" --> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boatmob.floating.touch&hl=en
works rather well in conjunction with what I mentioned earlier about "Free memory reported" by the App in the OP and performance.
Guys im just curious if you use Task killer for your ZU device?
its like none of u here discuss about using an application to kill running applications that can slow down our device
due to the shortage of RAM.
Thanks

Task killers actually mess up android, it's designed to cache as many programs as possible for fast app switching. Ive never had any problems with memory shortage on ZU ever.
The reason it's not discussed is because no one uses one.

I wasn't aware that the OS optimizes the apps. I've always used GO Task Manager EX and put a widget on my home screen to kill everything.

It is not optimizing the apps but rather optimizing the memory usage.
