Just wondering what the average ram usage is for most people... my phone suits between 800 and 1 gig used out of 1.6...

Mine is sitting at 600MB most of the time. Some of the basic programs running like google voice, maps, facebook, music, and share stuff.

In this screen shot you posted, how did you get to that screen? I used the application Manager listed in settings and selected the "running" tab. Yours looks different.
Perhaps your ram usage is including cached apps. If it does then that sounds about right. I have about 400MB of apps cached (stuff like Nova Launcher, Widgets, Gallery, and Play Store)

Yeah, this seems to be about average for me too, without freeing any RAM up that is. After freeing, I usually have around 100 or so free.
To the OP, obviously an App you are running is killing your RAM (or a combination of Apps). Get an App like "OSMonitor" to see exactly which Apps are using exactly how much RAM. Then go from there,
I really don't know why...I barely have any apps installed.
Is it possible that something went wrong during flashing roms?

Honestly, I am not a Dev or anything but I AM an IT major and have a bit of Linux experience...I do not think anything went wrong flashing ROM's, but just to play it safe, I would use Adrynalyne's all-in-one DI05.tar in Odin. Then reflash Froyo/whatever ROM you want. That will COMPLETELY wipe for you, if something is wrong, that will definitely fix it. Otherwise, stick with what I mentioned in my last post.
I will consider that as my last resort..
I really hate to wipe and set up my phone again
I installed osmonitor, but I don't know what's overusing the ram...I see android os using 70mb and about 6 apps using 20~25 each. Those apps are system apps too, such as download manager etc.
Is there a way to extract the memory usage list and post it here?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Uh, after I installed osmonitor and geanted root rights, my phone crashed 5 times...
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Android Assistant is good as well. It's free in the market & shows a clear % value in the list of what's running. Process Monitor Widget also works & will give you a snapshot recording of ram/cpu load.
My phone was doing this also. When booting I had about 160MB free RAM after level 2 clear in task manager. After about 2 hours it would go down to about 70 and I when clearing in task manager it would only go up to about 80-90. It was really annoying and would cause my phone to slow down and get hot. This is one of the main reasons I reverted back to DJ05. I tried fixing the issue with wipes and re flashing rom/kernel but nothing helps. We'll just have to wait until source is released to get better kernels.
I went back to D101 completely stock rom with nothing installed, but it still shows 210~230/325mb of ram usage...I don't know what's wrong
It's normal behavior for android, nothing's wrong.

oh... I thought my fascinate had unusually high ram usage since my friend has mesmerize and it only uses about 110mb of ram. Maybe his is the one with unusually low ram usage then..
Android keeps recently used apps in memory for quick access or things like alarms and keeps them there until it needs to free up that ram for something else. It's is generally pretty good at managing its own memory, so unless youre getting major slowdowns then I wouldn't worry about it.

The ram usage is even higher after going back to DI01 and to 2.9.2
I know the os automatically adjusts ram but isn't this too high for barely no apps running?

Yeah I am, and I am using voodoo as well.
Android is not Windows. It handles memory very differently (and better). You do not need to be concerned about high memory usage at all, as the system reclaims memory as needed when new processes are launched.

Also, when i am using an app and i hit the home button to go to the main screen it shows the backgroun pic first and a little later it starts popping up the app shortcuts on my desktop. Thank you for any help in advance.

No. Power savings is off. I also just did a factory reset and i reinstalled cf-bench. I redid the benchmark and now it is just a bit better than the s2, but still it is like half way to where the one x and unlocked s3 are. Can anyone do a cf bench and get back with some comparesing benchmark. This is enoying to say at list. I want to make sure that my phone is not deffective whole i can still exchange it. Thank u.

Hi guys, I wanted to know if, with this rom + kernel combination, my battery is good and, possibly, to know which applications kill it.
So I have to go on settings/about phone/battery use, right? And how can I see which apps kill the battery? Because here I see only cell standby, phone idle and display...And how can I know if these percentages are too high? thanks
Basically, the apps that kill android's battery are the ones which have wakelocks."Battery use" in settings won't help you see what apps aren't letting the phone to go to deep sleep, but you can see how much time your phone didn't sleep.You can use betterbatery status to see what apps are sucking your battery life.Example:facebook xD

Exactly. Pretty much any social networking app, eg Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, etc, that runs in the background even after being "killed" will eat up your battery.

You don't actually use it. You mostly read and interpret the data it stores on what uses the most battery life and then you act if you want on those processes.
The app begins to store data as soon as you unplug your phone so the best way to see how it works first hand is to let it run a day or as long as it takes for the battery to go down (I have heard of some o1 users that need to recharge their phone after 3-4 days of use) and just change the first roll down option. You'll figure out what uses the most battery.
I have the touchwiz toggles and I love them. However I keep forgetting to turn my GPS off when I am done using it.
It's there a simple app that adds a widget to my home screen to tell me whether or not it is switched on?

why would you bother turning it on and off all the time?
there are a lot of programs that might need your location to work properly, plus its a PITA to constantly turn it on and off..
there are plenty of market widgets that allow you to turn that off and other things, plus, some roms have that ability in their pull down menus
For one thing it's murder on your battery.
And I have a great toggle in my pull down menu, I just want an icon on my actual home screen to remind me when it's left on

I leave my GPS and Wifi on all the time. I still get 10-16 hours of battery life. This way, when I get home or in any previously used Wifi it switches over automatically. Plus, launching any GPS related apps proves much quicker.

"murder"?
don't think so...
besides, why did you buy a full featured, smart phone, if you aren't going to utilize all that it offers?
as others have said, I still get a full day on my battery, and have tons of stuff running all the time.
Your GPS is only actually on when an app requests it. When its on there's an icon to show you its on and searching or on and fixed.
I use tasker to automatically enable the GPS whenever I launch an app that would use it and then disable GPS when the app is closed.

This may sound rediculous but I notice somedays my battery runs down a lot quicker than other days. Doesnt make sense but thats how it seems to me. Are you using the cable that came with the phone and plugging into a wall outlet?
3g eats a lot more battery from what I have seen...LTE and Wifi are the easiest on battery. That being said I still don't think 3g should be causing that much drain...I bet you have a rogue app since the app usage shows 50%

You had the phone on for 9hrs and only dropped to 93%? Why r u complaining.? 40 minutes screen time at 93% after 9hrs off charger isn't bad at all. If I'm seeing that right.
thats correct, but while using it for a straight 60mins, it drops over 15%
