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 am seeing only 2.8 GB used on Ram by system and 900 MB by apps

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
More then enough

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.
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.
#PocoF1 is termed as #MasterOfSpeed but giving only 3.4gb of memory for a 6gb phone is unacceptable!Ram management of this phone is simply ordinary.
Please retweet the issue guys
Free ram is wasted RAM in an OS like android, as it becomes almost full, it will automatically clear the oldest apps so you don't need to worry about that. If you're rooted you can use ram management tweaks like changing minfree values.

To run everything quick and smooth. It keeps everything in RAM to access instantly. This happens with most of the phones with 4GB + ram. Don't worry about it

i too was puzzled why , yes free ram is wasted ram theory but i have not installed most of mine own apps yet .surprised nobody bother , what if this phone come with 4 gb ram , it would be maxed out easily
That's not how android ram management works, if you would have 4 GB of ram, the phone would load apps on background up to 2 GB. Free ram is wasted ram, miui ram management is aggressive enough already. You guys need to understand that the phone automatically closes down apps when more ram is needed.

good to hear then , i have been manually closing background apps ,guess a habit , back in the day when ram was 1 gb or less, it was precious, haha
Hello there,
I've been using a honor 10 for a long time now (almost since they announced and started selling it) and not once needed to check my ram usage cause it was flawless... But after 9.0 update and more seriously after last security patch my ram usage is going nuts just yesterday my free ram went down to 700mb with only SNAPCHAT running... Decided to download CPU-Z, turns out i actually dont have the said 4 gigs (4096mb) or rather 3686mb in total (note that it says 4gb in app switcher and says that i have more free memore than i really do)... Well any suggestions on how to really drop the usage? Or something else? I can feel the slowdown...
Well i can't actually post the screenshot so im gonna describe it..
CPU-Z says available ram 1317 mb (35%)free out of 3686
And phone itself 1.69gb out of 4gig....
Unused RAM is wasted RAM. The phone will free up some RAM by killing other apps if it detect app that need more RAM.
If the free RAM is low, then its possible the phone load some apps that you usually use to reduce loading speed when opening those apps.
If you feel your phone slows down after upgrading to EMUI 9, you should consider a hard reset, it might help.
For the 3,6GB RAM detection from CPUZ, I dont really care, and I dont consider it a problem.
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.
