How i can solve it?

just reboot your phone you should be fine
then kill unwanted apps
i wanted to know an another way not by rebooting my phone!

The ram is being used and therefore the OS is using it. The only way to clear it 100% is to reboot. You can also use apps to clear the RAM, it will help a little, but it's not the same as rebooting. I'd suggest just rebooting every morning.

This seems like normal behavior, as you use your phone some of the ram gets used up as a cache that helps your phone respond faster to open and closing recently used apps, your launcher etc. You can change the way the android memory manager works with certain apps or the ever popular V6 supercharger script. If you want to see how much of the ram is being used by the cache: under system settings->manage apps->running you can toggle the view to see how much of your ram is being used by cache by tapping on the bar free ram bar at the bottom of the screen.
Dude, 120mb of free ram out of 300, that isn't bad at all!
Add more ram! with so little ram a task killer would help for when you want to clear out the ram yourself.

Alright so I've been doing a little 'installing & un-installing' over the past few days and slowly but surely my phones memory is going down and down, it's running at 28(average) at the minute, Advanced Task Killer, is closing my applications after I've finished but the memory isn't building back up, any ideas why?
The default Status app on this device should give you a basic idea of what's running and what's not, but that is on a battery perspective. Try this.... I'm using an app called TaskControl and it does it a pretty decent job, but mainly opening the app shows you a long list of everything that is running off the memory on the device. Might help.
P.S.: I was showing about 29Mb Free a moment ago and I just manually triggered an app purge from TaskControl. It cleared things up and now I'm showing a steady 52Mb for the last few minutes and I'm refreshing the screen and watching every minute or so. Hope this helps
PERFECT! Advanced Task Killer hasn't got sh*t on Task Control, got my phone running with 99M now, never seen it that high with Advanced Task Killer, thanks for the heads up!
You could also try memory booster lite that frees wasted ram up I usually have between 80-100mb free

but for how-long?!?!
it boosted mine up to 90mb but only for about 20 secs... then i got down to 50 again.
i use advanced task killer... i can choose what i wanna kill. im always around 50 or 60MB ...
Lee-Riley didn't you kill all your tasks now...??? when u up to 90?? mine goes up there when i kill everything...
Yeah I killed everything, it maxes out about 101MB but normally sits at about 90-98MB pretty happy with that! K.D.M. answer the questions about your setup on my other thread please =D
I have installed RAM Booster and ZD Box(task killer) to help free up RAM, however i feel that the RAM usage on my x10 is still too high.
On average the free RAM on my phone is between 40MB -60MB, is that normal?
My question is how else can i free RAM on my phone? will installing apps to SD Card help? Also my internal memory widget is reading "414MB used out of 465MB" thats sound too high. my phone feels laggy and ive even stopped using live wallpapers, sumtimes the phone would even reboot on its own but hasnt done so in a while.
if u install too much apps without using app2sd, its normal to have that amount of ram.. i recommend u to use link2sd, u can manually select apps to move to sd. bt make sure that dont move any widget apps to sdcard or else it will stop functioning and appearing in ur widget list
I use Advanced Task Killer, from the market.
That being said, Android naturally will kill processes and apps. It waits for a certain amount of time, or until the resources are needed elsewhere. You shouldn't have to wory about how much free ram you have available... Unlike Windows, Android will manage it all on it's own!

link2sd is telling me i need to partition my sd fisrt and im not sure how to, im going to try apps2ds
First i don't this is a place to post such question, there is a section called Q&A.
Second, i recommend using AutoKiller Memory Optimizer, it's super amazing and very essential app for me. I get usually more than 100 MB free RAM most of the time, and it's easy customizable, after your read the help section.
Give it a try
it wouldnt be a lack of memory causing a phone to reboot but the app w memory leaks causing the phone to reboot. the apps youre killing werent designed for you to kill them unexpectedly. they were designed to run any necessary cleanup routines on exit. if the app youre killing doesnt have an option to exit, then you should replace it w one that does or ask the author to provide an exit/close for the app to free itself from the list of running processes.
you're introducing dirty unintended states for the apps and the os by killing them unexpectedly. you will have immediate gains in performance and will gain unexpected problems when those same apps go to run later. lost widgets, widget data, duplicate widgets, or maybe even break an app that wasnt designed to open from a dirty state.
keep an eye on the tasks, but leave them alone if you can.

Thanx guys will try it...
to op, i think u better try the autokiller 1st. because the link2sd and app2sd need to make partition.
1st make a fat32
2nd make a ext2
size of partition 2 put less than 1gb, i assuming u having a 8gb class 2 sdcard
the rest of it goes to fat32
ps : this require u to format ur sdcard. so make sure u backup it up in ur pc

Apps2sd needs partition as well... try a partitioning program and make a main fat32 partition and then a second one ext2 partition (i suggest 1gig max should be more than enough)
You don't want to free up ram. It messes with your phone. Your suppose to use ram

Get rid of the task killer and get AutoKiller Memory Management. I went from ~35mb free to ~135mb by changing the last 3 settings to 150, 200, 250 and never need to kill anything

Hi, i recommend the app "Taskiller Full" from AxDroid LLC ( i dont know if the free version is the same ) when i kill apps get a 150-200 free ram
do NOT use task killers. all you will succeed in doing is to use MORE battery. Andoid (which is linux based) is designed to have very little free memory. The way android handles application and memory use is it keeps frequently launched apps in memory so they launch quicker. if a task comes along that requires resources android will simply ditch the reserved memory (that is reserved in case you launch a particular app that is in memory) and will allow it to be utilised for the new app. as has been said 1000's of times before, free ram is wasted ram!
all a task killer will do is to fight against the native android instruction set, each time android attempts to launch a process into ram the task killer will kill it, and each time this happens it will chew a bit more battery life.
having a lack of ram is not necessarily the reason your handset is lagging.....the perceived lack of ram is only because it is earmarked for potential use.
my advise to you? just leave it be, maybe reboot your handset a bit more frequently, and remove some of the apps that you have installed that are fighting against android!
good luck!

I think that's with storage for system apps incuded. you need to root your phone to use the other part.

i think you can do something with app2sd+, but i don't know how...
You can use built in app2sd. Settings-applications-manage apps-choose some app and "move to sd"
Or if you are rooted simply delete bloatware and etc

maybe you didn't understand my question....I don't have the problem with the internal memory(cause I can move apps to SD)but with RAM....the applications I run simultaneously reach the ram to the limit and the side effect when that happens is that the phone becomes laggy because of restarting some applications to release ram...

If you are already rooted i can suppose only that:
1. Lookup your ALL apps, clean cashe and dalvik
2. Remove bloatware system/app
3. Move most importants apps to system/app folder
4.After. clean rom install you had about 60mb space in system/app partitiond. after cleaning about 100 no needed bloatware app you had in system/app partitions more 150+mb free spce.
5. REBOOT is sometime useful.
6. Dont use task killers, cashe cleaner 3rd part apps.
7.No need complain about so small ram, rom,memory...you had alot memory, ram etc.....USE IT RIGHT WAY.
8. Have nice day!
Cheers!

RAM is 512MB but shared for GPU so just 335Mb available for users.
Similarly S galaxy, 512MB ram but just 330MB available for users.

I'm running dagr8s alpha 2 ics rom. And I know that it has lower ram than the gb roms. But lately I have been running Tasker (amazing app btw) numbers and it keeps notifying me that I have low ram and it might not work properly. I go to applications in settings and check my ram and it says I only have 98mb free. I end all tasks and clear ram and then still I have like 120-130 free. I'm afraid that this is a too low amount. And wanted your opinions on what I should do. Is this enough should I just ignore the warnings will Tasker still run fine? How can I get more ram? Are any of you also experiencing low ram?

Taller uses ram also. I run trebuchet launcher on alpha 2 and have no real issues. If it gets slow you can hold home and clear things out. Running a lot of widgets still affect ram also.

If you go to developer options in settings at the bottom and select the background processes and set it to 3 processes at most that helps alot...also if u change ur dalvik heap to 64 that also helps a ton...DO NOT and I repeat do not set it below 64 as u will soft brick your phone

You must understand how Android uses memory, it loads your frequentlyused programs into ram so when you go to use them, they open much faster than if they would if they had to open "fresh" each time.the lmk (low memory killer) should take care of everything if you ate currently using a process that uses a lot of memory it will kill off apps as it needs to.
Put simply: FREE RAM IS WASTED RAM.
Have a marine navigation program "Navionics USA EAST" that wouldn't open in ICS(leak and Saurom) unless I cleared RAM. No issue onstock GB, and runs fine on sgh-i777 ICS? Tried debloating leak, but didn't help much. Will try limiting running programs when back on ICS.

Free Ram is wasted ram. Never thought about it like that. I understand but i would still like some free ram just so its available for other apps i open. I did use the task manager to kill running apps and clear ram and it didnt free up that much ram that is why i was worried.
Ill try limiting background proccess to .
Also how do i set dalvik heap to 64? And what exactly does this accomplish?
Thanks for the replies guys.
Yes set it to 3 processes at most. Task manaher killers r just crap dnt use them

Welcome to ICS. This is exactly why I DONT like ICS - the memory footprint is huge just for ICS alone.
Free ram is not entirely wasted ram.
Let me explain.
So, my phone RAM is completely (or nearly) filled and I open a new app. There is now a long delay as Android goes to work closing app(s) down and doing garbage collection to free up memory for the new app I just tried to open but it only frees up enough for the one app I just opened.
And now, every app I go to open is going to have this long delay.
What you really want is about 80% ram usage - enough that there is free ram to open new apps without Android having to scurry around to free up a bunch of memory.
I dont know if there is a way to force a certain amount of ram to be free but imo, thats what youd really want.
I only have 6 user apps on my phone and Im running stock GB so even if I opened everything at once, there would be plenty of ram to have them open all at once (Go Launcher, Blue Skies (paid), Battery Power Widget, System Tuner Pro, BeyondPod, & Audible).
It's called "minfree memory," what you want is an app that will allow you to modify those values. Back when I had a Captivate, I used an app called AutoKiller for that purpose. I haven't needed it on the Note though. You can find it in the Android market.
Is it possible for apps to crash when the phone doesnt have enough free memory (RAM)?
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
How much RAM do you guys have available when running GB. The phone only sees 767Mb of RAM out of the 1Gb is that normal?
yea i think thats normal because the phone system uses some of that ram to make the phone work. Like if you ever had a sd card or an ipod that was say an 8gb ipod you actually only have like 7.66gb free.
But yeah I would like more ram availabe so the phone can load apps quickly and wont have to waste time closing stuff. I dont think free ram is wasted ram
As said before, Android uses ram differently since it based upon Linux. If the entire ROM runs around 600-800mB and most of it gets loaded into RAM, this will leave you with 400-200mB free RAM but the entire OS is already loaded and ready to go! Once you load a RAM intensive application, Android/Linux kernel will free space for that application.
I believe GPU consumes an excess of RAM to handle this beast's resolution/size.
I have to go back to GB. Delay in apps opening is getting old compared to i777 daily driver.

Thanks for the info, guys.
Hey guys. Since i have my new s3 i ve noticed that sometimes apps in background close them self. For example if im on the browser i go answer a txt msg then came back to browser and page re loads itself like i re open it.
I know that when the ram is full the phone close apps. I started monitoring my ram and at start the phone i have always around 300mb. Dont thinks is much but its ok.
The thing is that as soon as i start using my phone memory left is 150mb at best. Even though i close apps and left the phone "rest" for an hour. There it stays. Then is when the automatically close apps issue starts. I download ram manager pro and set differents profiles. And ram still works as bad as before.
Something is keeping my ram and i dont know what is. I have all regulars apps. Twitter..facebook(both with sync deactivated)...whatsapp. not much more.
Any ideas?

have you changed the build prop delvik heap size to lower the ram used. should free up some more ram for the user.
thats the only thing i know that will give you more ram to work with.....i honestly did not (EVER) see any Ram issues on my phone until i jumped to Jelly Bean ( memory Leak) so i dont think that you should have a problem.
