problems with ram

carlvondj — Sun, 21 Oct 2012 19:40:32 GMT

Hi, just bought xperia t and have a difficulty with my free ram. I have installed only chaton communicator(and some other apps, but they dont need ram if i dont use them) and have only 120-190 free ram!! If I for example play a game, a lot of apps are restarting(and chaton too, whitch mean that I cant receive any messages. I expected more from sony flagship...:(

any app that you install in your phone will use RAM unless it's not open, but some apps run in the background, thus, using your RAM, don't worry about the amount of free RAM Android will close apps as it need RAM (free up RAM)

regarding chaton, that seems to be an app issue not your phone.

yes, it is true, but I have thought, that there will be multitasking-but it is not:

when I open internet browser and facebook app and try to switch over...one of them allways close (facebook have about 60 mb and i.br. about 100 mb ram if i use them for a while...)

the browser will always reload the page if you exit it or minimize it, it has nothing to do with RAM. just long press MENU and switch from apps

I still dont get it..why sony didnt make an automatic task killer to free the devices ram as mutch as possible since ics consume more then gb. ? My facebook app is using 95mb ram of my device...when i exit the app is still running in the backround still using that amount of ram. Why we sould kill those apps by our own and not the android do it by it selve? Too mutch to ask?

@billy200t

Android will stop apps as soon as it need to free up RAM

Well gues what? It doesent. I hade on my phone 100mb free ram and when i was starting a game it crashed or even freeze, but when i killed the apps manualy i hade 314mb (more than duble) free ram and since then i didnt had any problems with any other game or app.

p.s. I dont think that facebook(95mb ram) no sync used or contacts(25mb ram) are so important to run on the backround since they where still runing after the crashed apps.
