Hi all,
Is it me or what. My 7 inch mediapad always have only ard 400k of ram even after just boot up. I used task manager widget to kill as many programs as possible but later some programs will auto run and use up memory until 300k left. Then some programs like PvZ which takes quite a lot of ram may not even start when in low memory. I noticed it can start when there is nearly 500K of ram. But if lesser then will start and then hang or never even start.
My tablet is only loaded with a few programs like pulse PvZ, sgnews, allbackup from huawei and kuaishou.
I flashed with latest official 301u firmware and it is the same with H.WMOD firmware on B005
Thanks
Is this common of mediapad or Android? My ipad is fine with many programs opening and not even slow down noticeably.
Any tips?
Are you sure that you r talking 300kB? Cos I have about 300MB free atleast all the time.

Sorry. I meant 300 mb.
I haven't tried PvZ, but all the games that I have tried never ran into memory issue. As of now, my free memory is 350MB.
Some heavy games that I have tried are ShadowGun, Dead Trigger, Modern Combat 3, Asphalt 6, Dead Space. My guess is the problem lies in the app itself. I can't see the game (PvZ) from my pad, but I can see it from my phone, so maybe it just not compatible?

Hey, ever since i got my X10, I haven't been able to install one HD game. The SD data always stops downloading at a point, the most annoying been Asphalt 5, which is stuck at two percent, and there's still data transferring, and wasting my data. What do I do.
Have you got enough space on your memory card? Either that or your download speed is too low, possibly...

Do they both run well on a stock Flyer running Honeycomb?
Which should I buy (OK, which should I buy first...lol)?
LOL, 160 views and no comments?
Well, at any rate I do have an update to report: last night I bought and installed Shadowgun.
I haven't really had any time to play the game, but I can report that it definitely installs and runs on a plain-vanilla unrooted Flyer running stock Android Honeycomb. You need 250 MB of free space for the data download, which consists of 11 packages that download consecutively.
The game does run. I played it just about 5 minutes, so I cannot really speak to how fun it is or how well it will perform when the action gets hard and heavy. However, from the get-go you have a chance to kill two baddies and the Flyer handled the situation with nary a hiccup.
Graphically, this is a beautiful game. Can't wait to spend some time with it so I can give a fuller review.
I have dead space and it runs now since they updated it.
So fun and smooth that I'm on my third play thru.
Bought Shadowgun after it listed for .49 .... It's ok. Dead Space is better. I'm more happy with my Dead Space for 6.99 purchase than Shadowgun for .49
i did the same and installed them both when they were cheap... i'm on honey pot 1.1 and having a lot of crashes.. not force closes i get an error for those... instead these apps are just closing on their own it's like they reach a buffer overflow or something and they just completely crash... wish i could play these games like everyone else with out issue
I think the flyer doesn't have that much ram to support these apps/games... I was using the neutron music player and the player just closes by itself when there's not enough memory. So I guess it's pretty much the same for these games since their graphics are quite impressive! =)
Well if the flyers 1GB of RAM isn't enough, what devices would this play on?
Maybe the GPU isn't up to snuff, I can see that.

Now, admittedly I've only completed the first level, but I have encountered no problems or slowdowns with Shadowgun. Works for me.
LOL, looks like both these games are $.49 today. Get 'em while they're cheap, boys!!! (I know I'll be snagging Dead Space when I get home).

I don't think this is accurate. Both games play very well on the flyer/view. I'm just enjoying Dead Space way more.
Weirdly enough I agree and disagree with above post. While I have honey pot 1.1 loaded I've got loooads of free memory .... Like system tuber pro tells me I have over 500 MB free. Then I open flick golf extreme / dead space/ shadowgun/ whatever ... And quite more often than not the game will end up just closing/ crashing on its own straight to my homescreen no errors. So I've been trying to save the logs from when this happens... Its all pretty much Greek to me but I haven't seen anything about low mem in the crash logs. But. Idk what else it is either...

You were having problems with the Google Play store too, right? Maybe you need hard reset. There must be an app messing you up somewhere.

I play ShadowGun & have music playing through Winamp & don't get any hicups whatsoever! The in-game sounds are on que & frame rate is great. I'm still on 2.3 stock,just rooted.
Still need to get Dead Space though.
I've only tried Dead Space on my Desire HD, it's a awesome game.
I ordered a HTC Flyer yesterday, so i'm hoping to be able to game some Dead Space on it soon!
I've played Shadowgun almost half way through running LeeHC rom and everything has been smooth. No slowdowns at all. Have to say the gaming on my Flyer is so much better than on my phone because of the screen size.
If your having slowdowns check the running apps before launching the game and exit anything that might be dragging the device down. Also, I've always had good luck running Cachecleaner daily on my devices. Seems to help keep things running smooth.
I've been playing Dead Space on my flyer, and so far no issues to speak of. It's played pretty smooth so far, no crashes or hiccups. I'm using LeeDroids HC ROM.

On my device it starts out taking up about 70mb of ram but continually grows.
To check, go to settings->apps->running->show cached process.
Please help me here, I dont know if this is normal or not. It goes from 70 to 300mb of cached ram usage in a matter of hours.

IIRC, cached process is for background apps that are still in memory simply because there is enough memory to do so. If the device is short of memory, these cached processes will be cleared.
Does the memory issue cause you actual problems?

Dolphin actually works for you? Well I'll be damned. Are you rooted or just straight stock?
The poster above is correct in what he said, the only time to worry about it is if it causes a device slowdown. If you're worried about it you can always go to the recent page and clear it out.

Thx for the help . I'm rooted. No, the browser does eventually get laggy when the cache size gets really high. I've set Tasker to kill dolphin when the screen goes off to reset the cache, which seems to work.

Same problem on all browses on many devices at the moment for many people. It comes from a problem in android latest releases which is hopefully going to be addressed. Nice to be able to say that this device is not affected because saved by relatively large ram but others not so lucky with apps slowing down and freezing, one guy on another forum. has said chrome reached the heady heights of 400MB :-o

I am using Dolphin on my XTZ (non-rooted 4.1.2 stock). After a few hours of browsing the used RAM goes to 400-500 Mb.. And Dolphin actually slows down and sometimes freezes for seconds, so I have to restart it.
Lately I started using Chrome.. seems to handle better browsing for hours.

I love you. You have convinced me this issue is not a hardware defect or something (I dont know how rogue memory leaks would be a hardware defect but w/e). You also saved me from additional anger by factory resetting my tablet only to find the issue still persisting.
Gosh, I love this tablet so much despite its flaws, I really want to keep it. My last (5) nexus 10s would randomly reboot multiple times a day from the freaking system ui having a memory leak, and it took a year for Google to fix it with 4.3.
Anyway, turning off Javascript helps immensely. Still, after a few days, the browser is taking up over 200mb of ram, but it is a far cry from the 400mb in 2 hours that usually happens.
Anyone have any idea?

, do you Know if 4.2.2 will fix this when it's released? Sorry for double post.

As far as I've read on other forums here and other sites..... No! Latest upgrade to 4.3 on galaxy nexus has, if anything, made it worse...I tried it on a Gnex and can confirm that to be the case

Well that's just dandy. Honestly thinking about getting an ipad right now . Sure, ios is a bit more boring, but it at least works. Nexus 10 was plagued by a memory leak, and it was 8 months before Google for anything. Now I can't properly browse or use bluetooth, as that affects Internet.

It's the Galaxy S5 "Zoom" for anyone who doesn't already know.
Smaller screen, bigger camera.
Whatever happened to the S5 Prime?
The one that was supposed to be:
805 processor (64 bit)
QHD 5.2 screen
4GB Ram
Most of that would be icing on the cake, but the fact that the S5 stuck with 2GB RAM is really a big reason I'm not jumping on upgrading. Heavy multitasking with a number of apps running is just so sluggish with 2GB RAM.

hmm S5 2GB ram is getting the job done , I haven't found sluggish performance what so every in heavy multitasking & GS5 is smoother then Note 3 that holds 3GB.
The LG G2 with 2GB is a different story though , After kitkat update device performance became shot on many levels.
A great benchmark video found at ATT GS5 forums,

3gb isn't really required right now. Android apps are not that advance. Unused RAM is wasted RAM, AOSP always helps with the "sluggish" you speak of

Wish that was the case for me. Even with a full wipe and clean install after about a half a days worth of normal usage my phone constantly is hovering around the max in RAM. I'm constantly having to goto the RAM manager to clear memory, otherwise tasks start to really become hung up in the response time.
Even things like a google search will become so lagged that the working circle just keeps spinning. Once I go and clear memory the search is back to normal like you would expect.
Unfortunately, this solution has to be repeated about every half hour and it's just really a major annoyance that it seems to be in need of more ram as my resources constantly seemed to be pushed to their max.
So why is my phone so slow and not responsive unless I clear the RAM if unused RAM is wasted RAM?
Even with clearing it, the least it will go down to in terms of use is .96GB - and typically shoots right back up to 1.37, 1.42, or 1.44 GB is use within a matter of minutes? !

Like people above me said bloatware. Have you even rooted? Or disable apps running in the background? Your never going to win by constantly closing apps ever so often. Let me tell you a secret, they will keep restarting back up. Most users outside of xda won't notice this, meaning almost everyone who buys this phone. Since you come here, when Roms come by, get them!!

Hey guys, just wondering if any of you have tried running PPSSPP on your z2 yet and if you were having any problems.
I can't seem to get Tekken 6 running at a playable speed (it runs at an average of 65% speed ingame). I can get it to sort of run fine when I turn on 7-8 frameskip, but then of course the framerate suffers to compensate...
I've tried many settings and have made sure that power saving features are deactivated... Could this be z2 specific or am I just missing something (I'm really hoping it's the latter)?
Cheers
P.S. (P?) Fwiw, I can get 3D Android games running fine (e.g. Spiderman 2, Prince of Persia Snf)

Ppsspp isn't that optimised yet... You're mistaking emulation with native Android code when talking about running the Android games.
Basically, ppsspp is taking psp game data and translating it to Android code to make it run... Every single bit of data.
This requires huuuuge cpu usage and is the reason it's so slow.
Tl : dr: no... It isn't yet possible to run most psp games at full speed, especially not extensive 3d ones like tekken.

Thanks for the reply. I totally understand emulators will never be 100% compatible and perfect, even on high end computers just as lossy compression will never be a prefect representation of the original product.
But after some internetting, I found that PPSSPP seems to be able to run at least Tekken 6 at what seems to be close enough to original speed on most mid-high range phones. Examples:
Tkn6 on SGS3: http://youtu.be/t4lw0OexO3Y
Crisis Core FF7 on latest HTC M8 (which has pretty much the same processor as the z2): http://youtu.be/8mH1Z2cebpY
And many more videos of phones running Tkn6 just fine: http://www.google.com.au/search?q=y...Z04H4BQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=348&bih=409&dpr=3
TL;DR: PPSSPP seems to run Tekken 6 and graphically similar games fine on most phones, even those with inferior as well as similar specs to ze Z2, yet I can't seem to replicate anything close to the same speed let alone the same. :/
I bet there's just a setting that I stupidly forgot to change somewhere... Might try downloading Crisis Core and see how that goes.
EDIT: Hmm actually it seems Crisis Core runs fine. Guess it still could be the new CPU/GPU.

Wow... That s3 video of tekken6... I'm amazed.
Did you try replicating his settings shown at the beginning?
If not it could simply be that it isn't ready to use our phones full power yet and just got to wait for a few updates.
Or something somewhere is bogging the cpu down

Hi, I'm a PPSSPP developer and I'd just like to say that Tekken 6 is one of the hardest PSP games to emulate along with God of War.
You definitely need to have the latest version of PPSSPP from the download page, ppsspp.org/download and not just the one on Play Store. You also need to make sure you have the settings that this person was using in his video. Turn on all those speed hacks and make sure you're not turning on extra graphical effects.
Many of those settings aren't enabled by default like using multi-threading, disabling fog,.. They make a huge difference.
Then it will run at full speed.
Tekken 5 runs much faster by the way. You will be able to run it full speed without any speed hacks and will even be able to run it in Full HD with large textures.
Hi, none of the multiple combination of settings helps me to run this game, Tony Hawk's Underground 2 Remix on Xperia Z2 ppsspp gold 1.0.1
What should I do?
