Hi everybody, I'm Gabri, I've bought this nice Lg L9 II and I need help
The phone is branded, and out of the box I found already installed in it Android 4.4.2.
After having stopped and disabled the unwanted brand apps, I checked the resources and I had a bad surprise. Considering that the specs are 1GB of RAM and 8 GB of ROM, I have only 240 free MB of RAM and 3.07 GB of ROM available. And I haven't even installed any app or started to use the phone. Is it normal?
Thank you four your help / advices guys.
Yes it's normal. The 8 GB storage is divided in two partitions, 4 GB each. One for the android system and one for apps, music, photos etc. The pre-installed apps are using 1 GB of the second partition so you have 3 GB available.
As for the RAM many apps start running by default when the the phone boots (keyboard, dialer, sms, maps, weather etc) and the system automatically stops some of this apps to free RAM when needed to run other apps.
thank you l3t0m,
this makes me think that kitkat is very eager of resources, so how is it possible that you can find kitkat also in devices with only 4GB of ROM and 512MB of RAM? considering that my phone has 8GB and 1GB and more than half of both are already taken by the system....
One more question: the used RAM memory is 523MB (even if the processes in the list of the active apps do not reach that amount of occupied RAM at all), and the free RAM is only 240MB... so where is the rest of memory necessary to have a total amount of 1GB??
Sorry for such a kind of questions, maybe the everyday experience with the device is still satisfying and one should not worry about this stuff (yet I don't have a direct comparison with previous android versions in my device), but I simply would like to understand if everything is ok or maybe I need to changes something to have the best possible experience with this nice L9 II.
Thank you!
The devices with 4 GB ROM have about 1,5 GB available for the user which is obviously not so much considering that many popular apps are taking up to 100 mb and if you use a GPS navigator the maps also need some hundreds mb of storage to be downloaded on your device. Add to this the frequent app updates and the photos/videos you shoot with the 8MP/1080p camera and you will be out of storage.
I think that 8 GB is the minimum you need to have the best experience with a device like the L9 II.
I have no idea why the rest of the 1 GB RAM is not showing (that's happening on my device also), maybe someone with more technical knowledge could explain this. Anyway, as far as the device works fine (and it does!) there is no reason to worry about.

So, I just played with a friend's SGS 2 and when i looked into his App Manager, it would say he had 500-600 MB of free ram. Now, no matter how much I wipe or how many processes I kill, I cannot go over 450MB from the "1 GB" we are supposed to have.
I thought It was android reserving some RAM for himself but with this comparison it doesn't make sense anymore. Any recommendation on this? Might be because we have webtop running on background and SGS doesn't?

I usually have between 500 - 600 mb of RAM available... all depends on how many apps & process you have running.
Webtop does not run unless it is being used. As far as the difference in usage, I think Motoblur just uses more resources. I use Bloat Freezer and i can get up to 600MB free like when I reboot but then processes start up and it goes to about 500MB. Then I'll use it for awhile and it will get down to 200 to 300MB but never any less than 200

I don't have that many applications installed. And even so, the installed applications shouldn't be taking up RAM unless i run them, right?
I just did a restart and checked the RAM and it was just at 471 MB. I might mention that I'm using Go Launcher and the stock launcher is running also, because if I freeze it with Root Uninstaller, the calendar widget won't work.
Any guide on how to optimize RAM usage or what bloat should i freeze/uninstall?
using CM7, have around 400MB free out of 820 or so at any given point in time.
879mb of ram doesn't = 1gig. I would like to have that extra 120mb in free ram. instead of 600, 720 free. When I go into "About Phone" it used to say the current amount out of 879 but now it seems I've lost 100mb of ram. I've wiped/flashed/rebooted countless times to no avail. Even used Aura deblurred and CM7 with almost the same results.
On my phone it shows 471/816. Yes, would have loved to have that extra 208 MB of ram... But still Swiftks, could we have some info on your mods/apps? 600 MB of free ram is a LOT compared to what we have.
I have used ROMs that showed 575-620mb free but usually after rebooting. I'd say most ROMs will run from 400-500 free. But if you could, look on your phone under running apps and add up your used and free ram and post back.
I've heard that Go Launcher is a resource hog. Might want to try it without that just to see if there is any difference.

There's a huge misconception about how much RAM should be free at any given time. Honestly, the less RAM being used is actually better. That means processes are cued up for multitasking and it uses less resources to start them back up when used. Also, if you have any RAM left then that means you don't need any more because the phone will only use what it needs so if you have like 100MB of Ram available then that means you don't need it, but if you were at like 10 to 20MB free then I'd worry. But most people say they have like 200 available so there really is no reason to worry/complain. Plus, it's better for the battery to have the processes stored in RAM because it takes more energy to start an app back up then to keep it idle.

If I add up the mb's of apps running right now it's less than 90mb but its showing 190mb is being used. That is including the media/motorola/stock junk on a fresh install of ninja. I haven't even opened market or added my google account yet.

I understand your point, but it makes me wonder... Devices like SGS 1 for example, only have 512 MB ram. Based on how the Atrix and Galaxy S2 are said to have 1GB but in reality it only has 800ish MB, the SGS 1 will also have 400+.
Now, my atrix goes from boot to a usable state leaving me ONLY 471 MB of free ram, taking up 380+ (rounding numbers of course). Since the SGS 1 also runs on Android 2.3, the same thing should happen right? taking up 380MB out of it's 400+ MB of ram, leaving only 50 (rounding again) MB of RAM? Highly unlikely, if that was the case, only opening up the browser would take up those 50 "free" RAM.
I don't have a SGS with me to corroborate this theory but I'd bet the SGS starts up to a usuable state with 100-150 of free ram, using up only 250-300 MB of ram, why can't we pull that off from our devices?
It's not that I'm not against using the RAM on our devices, but only comparing how much RAM my device is using I can tell whether it's running efficiently or it has a resource Hog somewhere.

your phone is like a fat kid with a birthday cake. he's always going to take a few extra slices for himself and not share with anyone.
(system taking RAM and not sharing with any other processes)
I think it has to do with Motoblur using up more resources. It is so integrated into accounts and everything that it can't help but take up a bunch of RAM which is why they probably went with 1GB of RAM to begin with, they probably couldn't pull it off with just 512

So deblur is the way?
I use Bloat Freezer and the paid version of TiBu freezes apps too. I think there is a list of "safe" Blur apps to freeze somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.

Hi, i just wonder why this phone use ram so much high? (mine: usually at 1,7GB). At first time i use this phone it was used about 1.1GB of ram.
I'm trying to compare this phone usage with my previous tablet, samsung galaxy note 10.1 and it just consume about 700MB of 2GB ram it have and at first time i use it consume about only 500MB ram.
For your information, i use almost same app running in my booth device. But..
Why it come so much different? Z2 for sure have 3GB ram (bigger than other) but i think the system at least consume much more ram too than others. Are I'am right? Can u tell me what do you think? And tell us about your idle ram usage too if u can..

I think nothing of it
Linux is healthy to use ram unlike other OSs when ever you open an app your phone will free ram if needed, its not to hard seeing as how its managed
Your actual free ram is always 15mb but freeable is usualy always %90 of your total ram, ignore how much ram is avaliable
If you want to know more, look up linux ram management

Looking at RAM usage is entirely pointless.
Apps allocated RAM as they like but the operating system makes all kinds of predictions ahead of time to preallocate blocks of RAM to increase speed, eg when an app requests to allocate some memory the OS gets to instantly go "here you go; hehe sucker I already prepared that earlier".
The OS will more or less allocate as much RAM as you throw at it up to realistic limits. Eg once a tiny app has 1gb of ram the OS will take the educated guess that will be more than enough for it and not allocate any more.
If another app opens up and the OS is running low on memory it will rejig how much it has allocated to apps that never actually requested that much memory.
This happens on any modern OS and is why you should never really care how much RAM things are using.
In Windows under process manager if you looked you would find there is about 10 different ways to look at the RAM usage per app. Unless you really know what the numbers are saying they will all means basically zero in the real world.
Woa.. I never know it before.. Thanks for the info..
Mine 1.5gb used

How do I see this?
Skickat från min D6503 via Tapatalk
mine is usually about 1.5 to 1.9GB
keep in mind it caches apps too incase you reuse them, at the top right of the usage screen hit the menu to see the cached apps.
Mine is usually 1.5 to 1.7GB, even I don't run any app...
BTW, I install the app Clean Master ( like CC clean on Windows). And I always do clean Junk file and Boost ram once a day.
Is it good to use this app everyday?

If it's another generic 'ram booster', it's next to useless, but it won't be dangerous to use unless the app is programmed poorly. As others have pointed out, if there's no problem with the system (e.g. memory leaks), the RAM it allocates is used for caching apps so they may load quicker. Simply put, this behaviour is intended.
Cleaning junk files will probably have next to no effect on perceived performance as well untill you've hoarded enough junk files that your internal memory is almost full. But I see where you're coming from; it's very satisfying to see memory freed.
And while I am at it, I'd like to recommend SD Maid for this purpose. It's one of the few apps that actually do something useful. You can delete orphaned folders by apps that are no longer installed, delete junk and duplicate files, bulk clean app caches as well as optimise internal app databases.
How much difference in RAM usage between 720p & 1080p display? Z5c RAM way too low?
I've read several times, that a 720p display uses less RAM than a 1080p, plus the Z5c has a couple of extra features, like 500MB of ZRAM, which should make multitasking quite good and not a thing to worry about, despite the low RAM.
But here's the thing: Can anybody tell me, how much exactly is the difference in RAM usage between 720p and 1080p? I was never able to find hard numbers. Is it 50% because of half the resolution? Is it like 5% only or something else? Or is it flexible, depending on the apps? Or, if it's a fixed amount of megabytes, how much is it?
I'd love to get the Z5c due to the smaller size and it is about 100€ less than the Z5, but I'm also a heavy user and struggling very much with only 2GB of RAM in my current Z1.
I have at least 10 different apps running in the background all the time, like weather widget, several messengers, xposed, data counter, greenify, etc.
Plus, I usually like to open a lot of tabs in the browser, 10+ is quite often and my browser either craps out completely and closes itself or the tabs have to reload all the time, this even happens with only 2-3 tabs.
Same with apps.
They are almost always reloading, most of the time I can't even visit my "friends" in Simpsons Tapped out because the game crashes when I try to visit their cities or it crashes in my own town because it is too large.
The music player stops working during browsing or one of my running apps closes itself due to lack of RAM.
Is this normal, is the RAM really too low or am I just expecting too much from smartphones? I treat them like small computers, like the ads suggests. I guess, they are just too unrealistic.
The ONLY thing keeping me from going for the Z5c is the low RAM and this would be the only reason for the Z5.
Also, 2GB RAM is a 2012 standard, it's now 3 years old. After a usual usage time frame of the Z5c of 2 years, it's 5 years behind. I simply can't seem to get myself to buy an already outdated device in terms of RAM. For me, 4GB would be very welcomed.
Can anybody answer my questions regarding RAM usage or someone with a similar heavy use case can relate their experiences with the Z5c and RAM problems?
The RAM is more than sufficient. I have been using this phone for some time now and I can keep any number of apps open in the background and they do not close.
---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------
When I say "any number" I mean any number of apps that I need to keep running in the background. I've never run out of RAM on this phone. Whereas I see a lot of phones struggling with multitasking
I don't just mean many many foreground apps which I have started myself and switching between them, but also like 10+ apps which are running as soon as the phone has finished booting and which I want to run in the background all the time, without counting additional apps which I open on purpose. Apps always running are: Hangouts, facebook messenger, Whatsapp, weather widget, one handed mode, 3G Watchdog, onavo extend, proximity screen off, greenify, setcpu, automate it, afwall+, twilight. A total of 13 background apps plus many foreground apps. After everything has loaded after boot, I'm already down to 700MB free RAM, without any other open apps.
When RAM reaches 500 or below, the force closure starts.
How much is your available RAM after boot and with many apps running?
i don't know if you are aware of it, but xposed module "app settings" has an option to keep chosen apps persistent in memory. I cannot assure it works, but probably it does. You could enable it on the apps you need to be kept open and then fill your memory fully, then see if Android system kills other apps (camera, gallery,...) instead of your favourite ones. This might be a workaround for you, or might not: if you open lots of tabs on your browser, Android kills other apps, while Windows would become sluggish but keep everything open and use the swap file. Regarding the swap theme, Android has the Zram function, a kind of swap file in the ram, that compresses some RAM in the RAM itself (at the cost of some CPU power). This might also be useful but don't know if it is already supported by stock xperia firmware or it must be implemented in a custom kernel.
Well, available RAM really doesn't matter much. Lollipop especially is designed to take up as much RAM as possible. That makes the operations smooth and the processes run in the background. But I'll attach this here. I never clear the tasks and I always keep them running so I will have less RAM. But my apps don't close on me though
It seems 2GB ram doing fine on my Z5c, I guess because of it comes with ZRAM enabled in stock kernel(for the cost of cpu and battery). Yes, 720P spend much smaller amount of memory and cpu compared to FHD/2K. There are many reports confirmed on Z1/Z2/Z3/S6 board when people used resolution changer and found much more free ram available, you can try QHD 960x540 if you want even more free ram.
I got 1GB free ram after boot up and same with my S6 but since my S6 running 2K resolution with poor Samsung memory management, actually the Z5c performs better when deal with the killing apps problem. If you will use greenify donate ver to freeze all bloatware I think memory is good, the android 6.0 seems to have better memory and battery life as well.
Can you tell me more about the resolution changer? Is it dangerous and can lead to a bootloop or not booting at all?
Z have 2gb of ram and 1080p display and have no ram issue..

I don't use it on my S6. It won't bootloop or not booting but just some stock apps will have menu problem bcoz they are hard coded for native resolution, you may need to decompile those apks and edit some .xml files manually to modify the default resolution to make it works.
even my XZU with 2GB of RAM and 1080FHD is still perfectly able to multitask. no need to panic for such 2GB of RAM. yet. :fingers-crossed: well maybe when there's a game with big memory requirement in 2-3years time then you'll need more than 2GB but i bet it's not a game worth playing coz it's not mobile optimized and the devs are too lazy to optimize.
Default set at 507MB ZRAM, you can increase it to 1024MB if you wish
Yes, but only with root? And then you lose the warranty, camera functions, miracast and such because you need to unlock the bootloader.
A root exploit without bl unlock, like on my Z1, is what I'm hoping for. I also don't understand why manufacturers don't implement to gain root access via a simple reboot. Make the option available, display maybe 2-3 warnings and info screens before, then if you click yes, a reboot happens and you're rooted. Easy as this. No features lost, no exploits necessary which take forever to arrive, if at all, and involve downgrading and such. I think one manufacturer enables exactly this.
It would be unthinkable on a Windows or Linux system if there wouldn't be the option to work with full admin rights...so why is it the norm on Android and nobody bats an eye?!
Btw: I've tried the resolution changer and changed the resolution to 720p. Although this should have decreased the RAM usage, it actually increased it by around 100MB. How is that even possible?

I think you answered your own question here. If you need a whole lot of RAM, you should probably look somewhere else.
yes, it needs root and you loss warranty and DRM and such stuffs.
Linux like to cache things, if u got more free ram it might just cached even more. It won't used more 100MB ram in reality.
The thing here is the Android 64-bits.
1080p device with 2GB RAM in Lollipop 32 bit = more than 1000MB of free RAM (average).
720p device with 2GB RAM (and zRAM) in Lollipop 64 bit = more than 550MB of free RAM (average).
Now, the resolution mostly affect the used RAM when gaming, there is not a big difference outside games.

I have never seen free memory more than 1GB of RAM with my XZU. Right now it hovers around 600MB of RAM.
for gaming it is not an 'always' case so memory cleaning at the end should happened only 1% of the time you use the phone.
Who cares about how much free ram there is? The ram is meant to be used and Android is made to use the RAM for caching and so on.
Talk instead about how well it runs in practice.
Anyone that has experienced any problems that could be because of the device only having 2GB of ram? Let us know.
If not, then I guess the fact that the Z5C "only" have 2GB ram is not a problem...(?)
Here,me! I'm having a lot of problems because of low RAM and the whole purpose of this thread is to find out if the Z5c with its 720p display and zram and such makes a huge difference in RAM performance, if at all compared to my Z1 with also 2GB which is always reloading tabs, crashing games and apps, force closing apps due to lack of RAM, redrawing the home screen when exiting apps and so on.
If there's no big difference, then devices with only 2GB are not for me.
It's good that Android uses all the RAM for caching, but I strongly believe that in my case there is simply not enough RAM and that's why all my problems occur.
And also Z5c uses LPDDR4 RAM if I am not mistaken. So that's actually more efficient. Well I have faced ZERO problems with multitasking. But I dunno about you
Hello to anyone reading this.
So I have been a Huawei Nova 3i user since october 2018, and i've been in love with this phone ever since.
The phone comes with 4gb of ram but for some reason I was never able to use it all, I always had around 2gb free give or take. However that was not a problem since the I'm never a heavy multitasker, and my apps worked fine.
However now I'm starting to notice that some apps most, notably Chrome, are starting to refresh after just opening file explorer and google photos.
PS: I have updated my phone to official android pie two weeks ago however i don't know if this problem is new or if it's pie related and i have only noticed now.
For more information:
**Before this problem:
System ram: around 1 gb
Apps ram: around 1 gb
Free ram: around 2 gb
** As of writing this:
System ram: around 1.7 to 1.9 gb
Apps ram: around 700 to 600 mb
Free ram: around 1.5 gb which for some reason the phone still refuses to use.
So any ideas on how i can troubleshoot this ? It's not an urgent issue ofc the performance is still great no lag and no stuttering, it's just annoying to have chrome refreshing all the time.
Hey folks, I got my OP9R about 5 days back, 8GB RAM variant with 128GB storage. I got CPU-Z installed on it and to my surprise it shows that Free RAM available is only around 3GB with no apps running except CPU-Z. Is this Normal? Wheres the remaining 4.5GB done? I do know that the OS takes some and certain background apps take up some RAM as well but only 3GB available?

I got CPU-Z installed on it and to my surprise it shows that Free RAM available is only around 3GB with no apps running except CPU-Z. Is this Normal? Wheres the remaining 4.5GB done? I do know that the OS takes some and certain background apps take up some RAM as well but only 3GB available?
