Hello guys, this is my first post here. I have a problem with my new LG g2 mini. I have about 200mb ram free after I have launched my most used apps, 3apps in total. Switching between them is very fast, all is smooth, then I put my device to sleep and after an hour 1 or 2 of the apps would start super slow, as if they are being loaded from internal memory and not ram, even tho I have lots of it free! Why do my apps get swapped out? There is an option in the task manager to auto clear ram, it was ticked by default, I disabled it, but made no difference
Another issue I have is, if I try to launch more than 4 apps at a time, the first one gets swapped out even tho I still have like 150mb ram free! Why?
What I think is the low memory killer is badly configured. I can never run out of ram! Every other than 4 apps get swapped out!
I know that issue... If my phone is turned on fro many hours, the keyboard (every keyboard) fails to open in heavy games like Clash of Clans, and my fried too (he uses LG L9 II). It seems to be an LG problem.
After 2 days turned on is almost impossible to do multitasking.
When my phone used to be rooted I installed Auto Memory Manager, and everything worked well.

Dear all,
I've got a problem that I hear a lot about for different phones but haven't found a useful solution yet (yes, I searched xda as best as I could).
While my phone Android phone (Desire Z, stock 2.3.3, not rooted) used to be pretty swift after I got it, it significantly slowed down over time.
What's bothering me most is that, after using a couple of applications, it takes a couple of seconds to load the launcher, even after having exchanged HTC Sense for LauncherPro which helped for a while.
I'm not a developer but it seems logic to me that that once powerful phone is still there and is only crammed up with useless processes/background operations by useless/inefficient apps.
So here are my questions:
How can I clearly identify apps which slow my phone down? Is there a way to limit their damage?
How much internal memory or RAM needs to be available before memory becomes a performance issue? Right now, I have 220MB internal storage and 71MB RAM available.
Can I selectively and completely turn off apps while I don't use them without uninstalling them?
Can I switch background operations on and off (e.g. I will definitely survive without some rarely used social apps checking for messages)
Can I change how often an app is active while I'm not using it actively (e.g. have whatsapp check for new messages only every 5 minutes)
I'd appreciate any answer!
Best regards & Thanks in advance
Not sure if it is wrong, just would like to get some explanation of this. Phone has bit less than 1GB ram available for apps and default behavior of Androuid should be to use it all for caching recently run proceses, because there is no difference if memory is free or taken - it uses same power.
I have Viper ROM 1.06 and using Nik3r kernel, tested with and without dataswap mod (128MB). Even tried to tweak Viper settings for minfree setting, using Multitasking ultimate profile. And still the same behavior. When I check available memory, it always sits around 750 used out of 980MB. Regardless what and how many apps I run.
Problem is, that when phone is not used for some time I see almost every time apps starting instead of fast switching from memory. Its mainly visible for me on FBReader, which I use to read ebooks every time I have little spare time. I pull phone from pocket, start FBReader and voila, it is starting from scratch loading book. Its 2-3s, but still. its relatively small app, shouldnt be killed most of the time thanks to system policies on free ram.
When I try to play with phone and run as many apps (start FBReader, home and run Chrome+load 2 tabs, run Camera, run Viber, run Tapatalk and back to FBReader) to force it to close my FBreader from memory, everything works fine and it swaps back in immediately. Even though checking Apps tab in settings shows memory usage about 750-800/980, not fully stuffed with cached apps (think its not showing correct numbers? Or not showing memory taken by apps in empty state?). But anyway. I give up, turn off my phone and let it be for some time. Then I check for example for SMS and would like to continue reading my book. And FBReader is loading as if it was closed. Why?
Seems to me like phone does cleaning of cached stuff in memory after some time when it is not used? Cant say precise when it happens, it just annoys me to see that system shows all the time around 750/980MB used and still is unable to keep my app in memory for longer period when it works fine if I test it directly.
Any ideas/tips/explanation?
Hi, I have the same issue with the fb messenger (chat heads)

Any idea ?

Hello guys,
I have serious problem with RAM on my phone. It runs JB 4.1.1 and has 512 mb RAM.
The thing is that often when I browse the web (sometimes light pages but very often at browsing imageboards like 9gag) i get a message in top right corner saying "memory low" and the stock browser is crashing. Similar problem happened to me in game Kingdom Rush during loading after beating the previous one. Once I had that strange problem that it crashed to home, low memory appeared so it closed the launcher, launched it on again, then off and so on...
I disabled bloatware apps from Orange and the System Panel Lite shows me 150 mb free RAM. It should be enough to not cause any problems... I'll just add that Moto Defy with the same amount of ram didn't make any problems.
Do you have any solution for this?
P.S. Does any one have stock ROM for this phone?
Android os taking almost 1 gb of RAM
Is that normal !?
And if not is there a solution?
Seems alright
Mines a little better. about 600MB for OS and and 100MB for System.
I find the phone CAN be very sluggish as well. I think it has to do with the memory as well. Sometimes I start an app (ie. Google voice or ES file manager) and it pops up instantly. Sometimes it pops up but the screen is blank and it literally sits for maybe 5 seconds before anything happens. The camera can be worse. Sometimes even opening the app drawer gives a lag. Android Auto is just always slow. I've found that if I use an app killer and clear out some memory the phone becomes more responsive. Yes, the OS should automatically do this, but it doesnt seem to do a very good job. If I'm starting an app thats not in memory, it should make no difference whether the memory is empty or the OS needs to kill something to make room. Maybe the process of clearing out space in memory has some lag.
My next phone will definately need to have more than 2GB ram. I would switch phones in a heartbeat but I like the smaller form factor and nearly all other phones in the world are bigger.
Regarding facebook, I did this with my older phone because of how bad FB is, there is a "facebook lite" app you can get which is designed for lesser phones. It runs much better but it is more limited.
I'm waiting for a usable nougat rom to try. hopefully that will help
Remove Facebook. Remove Messenger.
Enjoy 150-600MB free RAM throughout your experience.
After nougat I am actually usually hovering around 300-500MB of free RAM at any given time of my day.
Get rid of these two disgusting apps and your phone will be so much better.
I also use FB, but only through the actual Chrome browser, and not the app.
I use 4 messengers - Viber, Skype, Telegram and Hangouts. Their ram and battery usage altogether is LESS Than just the facebook bloatware.
I've attached some screens.
try my
i manage to free up to 1gb free ram with few tweaks and mods to framework on my cooked rom

as for fb
use this one

Give this a try:

doesnt seem to have any bloat.
You prob have to sideload it

You can try to flash AndroPlus kernel + Kernel Adiutor app. I am currently on that build and it's working flawlessly - make sure you tweak the CPU and IO governors and the LMK (minfrees) to your liking. See what works best for you. Note that light LMK settings will make your phone fast after a reboot but slow as hell as time goes by. I have found that Moderate works best (implied anyway) for a good balance between multitasking and free memory
EDIT: This is for stock Nougat.
Hello everyone,
I don't know if there is any mention of this problem anywhere or it's been a common issue for Huawei devices, so please link me to the thread if there is.
So my Mediapad M5 has 4GB of RAM. Normally after a restart, there is about 2.5GB of free RAM presented. But after a couple of days of average usage, the free RAM starting to decrease. This is expected of course, but when the RAM decrease to about 500MB, the tablet becomes unusable. Apps couldn't be opened, current running apps constantly restarted and lagged. I tried to use the Tablet management app (come with EMUI) to optimise the system, but the problem still exists,and the RAM is still at 5-600MB.
I also tried to close all of the services in the Running services from the Developer option, but still, the "System processes" still took like 3.5GB of RAM, and with no other services or app running (not of I aware and the setting displayed), like in the screenshot I took:
drive.google.com/file/d/1ix27K_GjOahWLr-09U5Lfizn2vXbf_fE/view?usp=sharing
(Sorry I can't parse the image here, but here is the Google drive link)
I also tried to reset the tablet and install only some apps to test it, including Rotation manager, Netflix and VLC, and use them at normal rate. After a couple of days, like 4 days, the problem arises, and the only solution for me is to restart the device.
I also tried the option to Manually/Automatically manage apps launching in the Battery manager, but the problem still persists.
Is there any option that I haven't known of or haven't tried? The device works great until it's running out of RAM, and it seems like it don't know how to release them. Or maybe there is a leakage problem, I don't know.
Thank for reading! Have a nice day.
Editted: I'm in EMUI 9, Android 9, non-rootted
