Xperia S ICS update Performance and RAM

Hi i am a Xperia S user with Gingerbread version (waiting for the update).

I am asking you to show in this discussion some screenshots of the RAM usage after ICS update. Iam woried about that because the point of ics is to turn the phone smoother and at my point that's not happenig...

Im choosing between Update or not Update. I have been realised this because i see a lot of Bugs, Glitches and errors and i am podering to not update

Please tell me if update or not update and tell me your experiences with ICS.

My SI is 1257-6705 (Portugal) and its not on the list.

Thank You

do you really use OfficeSuite, you can disable it with ICS,

you do NOT need an antivirus or taskillers or battery apps they drain your battery and create multiple issues, the picture I'd posted it's so you can see the RAM not all the apps that I have open.

Misconcemption of how Android uses RAM is understandable. Kindly read the following article to know how RAM is used. I do not hink it's an RAM issue that will affect your phone. Maybe you need to do some housekeeping?
