Why my S3 has big RAM usage after about 4 days use? I checked RAM in taskmanager and about 500+MB of RAM is in use. At that time, my high-end games ,like amazing spiderman, start to lag and sometimes it even closes itself.I think this happens because it had not enough free RAM.So, I had to restart my device to lower RAM usage(only 200+MB RAM is in use, just after restarting).Why is that? Why RAM usage grows bigger if I didn't restart my device in 4 days? I've tried to limit Backgroung Processes in developer options of setting, but not working. It seems I should restart my phone everyday to get the full performance of my phone.
Any suggestions??

I would have thought the inbuit task manager would handle all this, from what i've read it is excellent. I normally go a week or two before a restart. But i only play games like sprinkle an angry birds.

Yes, U R right. No need to restart(clean memory) if U only plays small games.

I always have 592 out of 779? If I reboot I get 400, but after the apps load I go back to 592? I really don't see any problems with the phone? But is it normal?

If you play some games which need a lot of memory android will kill other apps, that are running in the background to free the needed memory. Android is not windows! It will not run out of memory. Even the applauncher gets closed if it's necessary. I play heavy games to (nova 3) and there are no lags, so ram is not the problem I think.

no issue with spiderman game here , one bad thing it require wifi to be on whenever gameplay is needed , did you force shut or freeze the apps ?

Nova 3 is ok for me also. Spider-Man needs more RAM than Nova3.
If U received a message while playing Spiderman, the game will close and u'll have to start over.
That's not good.

For those having problems, did you download the 600mb file for the game after install? If you're having trouble, the download page in the market gives a link to manually download the game from a computer then just load it to the phone. It's a huge game, so the tiny app download doesn't do anything but load the shell for the game.

Downloaded the tegra version from the website as well as the usual download. Either way, nothing works, logcat shows a module crashing. I wonder if it's related to the version of the firmware on the phone. Bell users have ye old firmware that probably wasn't tested.
That could be the case. I have version 1.57.

Chain3D won't help. The game lags, end of story. Adding additionnal processes on top of the game itself won't help at all. If you see an improvement, then it's a placebo effect (source: Chainfire himself)

You need to use the root/offline method or use the apk by muzhiwan. Then you need to change date to 2010 to make it work sounds weird but it does! Same goes for spiderman, although with spideeman you can instead deny "read phone state" permission to make it run

And real racing 2.
Both games lag at times.
Can anyone recommend a rom and kernel combo which they find works very well, Im looking for the best.

It doesn't really matter, most tw roms are the same anyway except for a few cosmetic changes.
What you need is to overclock your gpu when playing graphics intensive games, siyah will let you oc the gpu up to 700mhz and still be stable (it goes up to 800 but it's not stable)

If you NEED to overclock one of the most powerful GPU's for mobile devices around, then there is definitively something wrong with your game...
well dead trigger runs really well, even with tegra 3 graphics switched on, now i know that real racing isn't optimized very well and i've only just played nova 3 this once, but surely it should work well on the S3, and fyi, theres nothing wrong with my device m8, i've tried this on about 4 different s3's and all yield the same results.
The games are all paid for versions too.
Maybe i'm not ocing the GPU, i hadn't touched it but will check it out.
Cheers.
What are you using to OC your gpu?
