I know that its supposed to be 512mb, but all the Task Managers I use suggest otherwise. They all show it to be 386mb. Could someone please tell me what is going on? Thanks

It is 512 mb but you only have 386 available. The system needs the other 126mb of RAM to run

Then why is it that the system processes also seem to consume the available 386mb? The likes of Launcher, Keyboard etc.

Those are considered apps by Android. The system itself needs another RAM.

Those aren't really system processes. Real system processes are the kernel, networking stacks, drivers, ... And then you have another bit of memory reserved for the GPU. It's normal.

Bro, RAM is hardware. If you mean to free up RAM, there are programs in the Market like Ram Booster etc, but they are not neaded, free RAM is wasted RAM in Android.
Sony has poor ram management. I hope 4.1 in december will fix it.

On gsmarena website,they shows that micromax a110 and Sony xperia u both has 512 mb of ram
But for me xu has only 388 mb while micromax has 473mb.....Is there any problem with my xu?

Yup I just noticed this
My pa's a110 has 307mb ram used and about 167mb free
Thats strange
512mb physical ram
And ram used by system is only about 40mb
How is this possible!??
And gpu alone cant make a difference of 90mb ram
There are several other things but what?

The theory is like Intel GMA graphic, it's shared the system RAM as their video memory, and also depend on different GPU
Like my sola, it got 512MB RAM, but system accessible only 387MB, so mean my Mali-400 take 125MB RAM as their video memory.
Is there a way to disable the GPU when not needed like when messaging, calling or keeping the phone on standby?? It will save much ram and battery

OMG
This question is basic
You can search and read ram management at google bro
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
just use advance task killer in the market for killing running apps from the background, to free some memory.

Reducing MALI 400 (dedicated video memory requires kernel recompilation, as I see nobody tried it.
The best memory tweak is v6 supercharger script by zepplinox(spelling?)

frnds.. i want something(rom or kernel or anyting) that will give me 250mb ram(if 250 not possible then anything that will give me as much ram as possible)
But i also want the battery..
help me frndssss
don't think 250 is possible with ICS on 512MB.
some roms claim 200, like Zperience or Aroma? but i haven't tried can't confirm. i think anything over 100mb free after finishing boot is good.
the way Android uses RAM though this is maybe misleading, free RAM by itself isn't really useful, but i know what you mean..

Why you need so much free ram?
Sent from my MT27i using xda app-developers app
Try Terra Rom or stock rom with all crap deleted , free Rom doesn't mean that phone will be faster.
Sent from my ST25i using xda premium
actually i just noticed on a brand new phone with sony official .54 ics installed, nothing removed:
200mb free RAM!
on first boot was 210mb, now is around 185mb on 3rd boot,
weird because i know after setting up apps and accounts etc, AND using Speedy Droid to remove lots of sony stuff, she had only about 50MB free, after a fresh boot. not sure why i have so much more now.

i know.
this phone is slow if you run many complex apps because 512MB is not enough for ICS (google target was 1GB).
free RAM after startup is still a rough guide to how much memory the base ROM is using. do you have a better suggestion?
the comment about 200mb on stock was because many 3rd party roms seem to think they've acheived something when they show 200mb free. i found this is almost same as stock.
I was answering OPs question: no, probably no fully functional ROM gives 250MB free after startup, but the stock .54 can give 200 ish before you install, configure or run anything. then you'll find you have very little free and things tend to get laggy.
if OP posted more specficially about his problem maybe someone can help further..

You don't get it, do you? Having free ram is not achievement and doesn't reflect how fast is your mobile, get your basics right

Free ram is wasted ram when it could be used to cache apps for faster loading,except when it drops to 0 and apps keep restarting.

Hi guys!
I'm sure you know why we can't get official jelly bean. Because we have only 512 ram. Since only 388 is user available, thats not enough for JB to run smooth. Well I'm not a developer, but as far as I know, Mali-400 is the black sheep here. It consumes 124mb ram. Isn't it possible to lower it's consumption like with Intel integrated graphics? I know it's kernel related, and I have only basic Java knowledge, but I'm sure someone can do this here, if this possible of course.
I'm sorry if this already been discussed, just trying to help somehow.
Download kernel spurce and check mali 400 gpu config,its pretty well explained how to modify it.

In one of the kernel threads for sola, guys tried change the amount of ram and make more ram available to user, but it only produces instability and graphical glitches.
In other device (s advance?) they tried to allocate about 400mb og ram to system! All works pretty good, but games force close rondomly due to the poorer ram dedicated to gpu
BTW, the best is to allocate 390mb to system!

I know that because mali is running in high texture quality mode,by lovering quality we can also increase performance and allocating more RAM to user/system.

It was definetely not S advance, it has 768mb ram, from which 625mb is available.

Yep, it was on experimental v8 kernel for XU
I was wondering this as well as I've got a raspberry pi and that let's you adjust the memory split between ram and graphics, personally I never plan on gaming on my phone, watching an SD film with my player or a bit of YouTube is the most taxing thing it will do, so that much memory seems a waste.

RAM usage depends on the firmware and ROM. Lower Android versions naturally use less RAM.
Which ROM is the lightest on RAM usage? No fancy features needed, just NO LAG

Cool. What about the newer ROMs?
I have tried many roms for our phone...
MIUI is great interface, but it slows down the phone (at least the rom I tested), so I changed to a 2.3.7 more stable rom.
I wonder if 4.4 will work ok on this phone... someone tried any 4.4 rom?

if u want the real power use LX cm10.2 (a bit stabler than 11) it has the best ram management with mostly 150-180 free mb ON normal usage (no task killers just doing nothing ) its so damn smooth GB will newer reach. its the 1st time my friend can play dead trigger lagless on his ARC as he told me (hes a gamer im not) sometimes i just look on ram usage from interest and even even have 200mb free even if i not closed any app (like said i just use the rom not messig around with silly tweaks, only thing is i locked my keyboard to ram & use grennify )
