My last phone before v10 was Nexus 4 which was amazing on the ram side because of the stock firmware(400-600mb) , now on my v10 its 2.5 GB , now i can stand a non fastbootmode phone but this i can't stand , can you tell me how to reduce my ram usage into a reasonable amount ?
Android uses ram efficiently. Unused ram is wasted ram basically. Just because you have higher ram usage..it has nothing to do with your phone being slower

With 4 gb of ram, there is nothing to worry about.

Hi, I bought XS quiet some 20 days back and out of curiosity I installed phone tester to check. The results showed was only 700 mb for ram, whereas as per the spec it need to be 1gb. can someone help out on this...

Son experia S ram capacity
Hi, thanks for response... but even in that thread there was no concrete conclusion to state why the size details were not exactly shown. I am still not convinced on this.
ok BASICALLY this happens with ALL android devices. The operating software takes up some ram on it's own for example on htc devices the sense ui takes up ram and on samsung it is touchwiz. No matter how many roms you use you will never be able to see the full capacity of the ram, apps on multitasking also cause ram numbers to lower. Generally a sign of a low ram number means more battery is being used but it is nothing to worry about

Your RAM is OK.
Android uses a lot of cache but uses it dynamically.
If you want to see a bit more free RAM clear the caches for big apps.
If you "free" more RAM your phone may even get slower, because the system is using it to speed up processes.
So, i've installed the 452 CH firmware with prerooted img yesterday.
I am experiencing quite "high" ram usage, with almost all applications closed via the system (not with a task killer) i have "only" 200mo ram available.
I used to have around 400 with GB.
Is it the same for everybody or do i have some bad app using all my ram ?
I've heard that ICS was better at handling cpu & ram ressources but i'm still a bit surprise by the difference between ics & gb.
This is NORMAL. Live with it.

it a Linux/Unix system... that means, the Ram is allways full - but dont care, thats give you more speed to launch some apps... and if you look nearly, mostly every process in Ram is flagt as "inactiv" or as "empty" - so if another application will need more Ram, this emty and inactive processes will be kick out of the Memory.. A full RAM dont means in a unix sys, thats no space for forground applicationd..
its also god for your CPU and Battery usage... because a Application wake up out of RAM need less CPU then boot an Aplication from the Ground... and less CPU means less batteryusage
its a Linux, not a Windows :laugh:
Okay, it's a bit like windows 7 memory management compared to win xp.
Thank you

I've got my device for one day already.
This is my first Sony Android phone and ... compared with my previous HTC old phone, Z2 is perfect.
However I find that the ram usage is terrible. There is only 1.1GB free RAM just after the device is booted up.
That means... the phone has used 1.6~7 GB RAM before I open the browser or games.
Quite ridiculous...
Is it normal? or what can I do for more free RAM
I don't think it's a problem but a good thing. Android has a smart/good RAM management. That means apps are kept in RAM until other apps need more. If you don't like you can try in developer option to play with "don't keep activities" and background process limit".
Right, you want your phone to use as much RAM as it can, this is a good thing. Also notice, the "unused" portion of RAM is also used to cache certain processes android believes you use often or will need. All of this is to speed up access to those applications as much as possible.
Take note on this
What is shown as free ram in linux is actualy freeable ram, your actual free ram is about 5mb
Linux has the motto of free ram wasted ram so when you have around 200mb freeable when your total is 3GB then there is a problem

I had Galaxy s2 with 821MB of RAM and i know that every app (not game) was eats about 20-50MB of RAM
I was sure that xperia z2 with 3GB of RAM it's more than enough but the reality is different
I see that any app in my Z2 is eats about 80-120MB! But why?
OK, maybe i know, because of tha resolution difference (in s2 800X480)
Anyone have any additional ideas for the increased RAM eating?
It uses more RAM because it can. In your S2, the OS had to ration what ram the device had between what the OS needed and what each app wanted, plus saved a bit for cached processes so overall everything would feel snappy. With 3GB of RAM, the OS has a lot more room to spread out, so it does.
Think of it like this, if your family lived in a 2 bedroom apartment, then moved into a 4 bedroom house, you wouldn't leave 2 rooms empty. Either people that didn't have a room to themselves would use them, or you would find other uses for them. Android is doing the same thing with the RAM.
You have 3GB, don't worry about how much RAM is being used, ignore it and enjoy your phone
Dont worry about ram at all, when ram is needed the kernel will free some ram up
Usualy you only actualy have 14mb free, your ram in your settings or most apps show freeable ram

I'm looking for a more accurate explanation for this fact
I'm from these users them uninstalling system apps and care to run with minimal battery drainage.
So, not received exact reason for eating the amount of memory unlike in galaxy s2

I was run with galaxy s2 on 400MB of free RAM and maybe 250 when running browser+gps+poweramp
This is not windows xp, its android and its healthy to have ram used rather than being free.
I was on miui8, where i used to get 1.3 to 1.7 Gb of ram free on my redmi note 4 mido 3gb ram phone. But on every los14 based rom i get only 700 to 900 mb ram free. Does anyone knoe how can i get more free ram on custom roms?? Is there any app or tweak which can free ram, please tell.

Why do you think more free RAM improves anything?
Free ram = wasted ram.

Exactly the same question I was going to ask. Forget free RAM. Forget RAM management apps. Forget closing apps to free up more RAM. Linux memory management is already quite efficient. Your utilities are not going to improve it (either at all, or by any significant amount).
That's it. Free RAM is unused RAM. It's useless until it is used... Any device has inbuilt memory management that cares about the memory needs of running processes. If your device shows free RAM of 1GB all the time than your device has 1GB more RAM than it needs.
Why you want more free ram? You bought a phone with 3GBs of ram just to use half of it, why?
They think its windows, when you dont have free ram anymore it will lags or out of memory lol...
