Free up RAM on Fascinate?

Hello,
Is there anyway that I can free up RAM on the fascinate? For some reason I am using 269mb out of 325mb anyone know why so much RAM is being used? I am new to all of this so any reply is greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

You are right-no real need to purchase an app killer app (citation: www.droid-den.com/android-guides/android-guide-should-i-use-a-task-killer ). Just get in the habit of using the back arrow to "close" an app. Also, it can be good to put the Task Manager widget on your home page...it will show you how many apps are running and flash red if things are getting to be a drain on your battery. When you click the widget it opens the Task Manager where you can conveniently use the End All button. If I had programmed the Task Manager I would have had it return to the home page after that to save the trouble of pressing the home button again.
You might, however want to check out the application called AppControl in the Android Market. I like it because it not only provides an easy way to close some apps that run in the background and are unnecessary and do use a bit of battery power and RAM, AND easily creates a backup file OF YOUR APPS which you can email to your self and save up at gmail so that if you should ever loose your phone or break it, you will be able to easily re-install your apps.

Why is my Macbook Pro using up 3.9GB of 4.0GB RAM when no programs or applications are open? What can be done to free up RAM?

Once the computer has started up, almost all (3.9 of 4.0 GB) the RAM is used by system resources even though no programs or applications are running. How can I free up RAM on my system? Or is that the base utilization for the operating system?

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.

Best way to free up RAM on my Fascinate?

Even though I am not running a ton of apps and keep history and cache clear, am still using almost 238 MB of the 325 MB of available RAM. Suggestions? Do text messages suck up space?

First, I would like to point out that your Samsung Fascinate has 512MB of available RAM. My guess is that you still have 325MB of RAM available for use, so I think you're good. I know those numbers 325 and 238 don't quite add up to 512
The terminology nowadays is so screwed up, its difficult to communicate. People are using RAM to mean different things. When used as originally as in PC's, it is the volatile memory which is emptied when the device is turned off. All that data is cleared. Then android reloads it as full as possible when you restart the phone. (It runs better near full). This is the memory that your post is referring to and you are right; that is the real RAM.
But, I think the OP is referring to the RAM, phone storage, internal memory, flash memory, whatever it is called, that does not change when you turn off your phone. It does change when you add an app, or create some data like a text message or change your cache by using an app, etc. But when you reboot, that data is still there. That data is erased when you delete or clear or uninstall something or factory/hard reset the phone. All these things increase its size. If it is too small, performance does decrease. So first I think the 325 available refers to the amount left after deducting for the OS itself (which may be 200 MB or so) (Of course the space taken by the OS never changes unless it is updated). Then from that 325, installing apps, creating texts or any other data reduces the 325 until the OP has 238 available now. I believe this is how it works.

Free up RAM

Does any body know how to manage of RAM on e63 to increase the performance.coz my phone(e63) is too much lose of RAM. In idle it's about 57 - 62MB free RAM(i use nokia email that always run in b'ground) when i run another apps like ucweb and nimbuzz in the same time,it's going too slow for typing.when i checked my RAM it's about 42 - 45MB free. Is it normal? Please any suggestions or tips for this issue?thank you for any respon.

What I mean is RAM not phone memory. I always delete all massages from bluetooth after be opened or saved. RAM BOOSTER from emobi?? I've tried it but it's not too much helping to free up my RAM. Is it any hiden apps or process that save to be closed or killed to make ram more better.

Anyway to free up ram or kill tasks...i still think this is needed despite what everyone says

plus i figured less background apps=bettery battery

There are very few apps, such as Pandora, that actually run in the background. The rest are suspended, have a negligible RAM footprint, and use no battery whatsoever. Just stop the ones that actually run in the background don't waste your time on the others.

Ram Does not free up on my N73

Friends,
I own an N73 Music edition phone.
2 weeks back , I tried to update my phone using NSU and got it corrupted.
I took it to Nokia Care Centre and they fixed it up. It had the new firmware installed. ie., 4.0839.42.2.1
The problem started from that day onwards.Usually I use Handy Taskman to close applications to free up ram. But from the day, Applications close , but they do not give back the complete ram they consumed. Thus ram reduced to 3-5 mb gradually even though no application is running. Then everything goes out of order. Bluetooth dont work, Cant send sms, cant recieve or make calls. It shows "Memmory full. Close some apps". I have abt 29 mb free phone memmory and abt 600 mb in card. But the ram is just abt 3-5 at that time. This happens everytime and i have to restart everytime.
Someone please give some solution....
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi there,
after the update have u done the reset(*#7370#) because once i faced this sort of problem where my phone memory automatically reduces and finally ends up by not allowing me to even open a SMS and says "memory full" I found out that when i apply the "Waveform" theme(red one) i face this problem i resetted With *#7370# and things got OK for me and since then i am not facing any "Memory full" problems try this out
Dont forget to back up ur data before doing this
Cheers............................

How to check how much free ram in E72?

I've heard so many discussion saying about the free ram? how can i check the free ram during the use of the mobile?
Please help...

I am a e72 user, and yes, the ram sucks. In matter of fact, all my posts for the e72 is more concerned on the free ram available.
Anyway, use the following software called Taskman:
http://www.smartphoneware.com/taskman-for-s60-3rd-edition-product.php
It is a trial version, but nevertheless you will see how much free ram the phone has.
Now all i can do is just sit and wait and perhaps a miracle can happen where a future firmware can somewhat free some RAM (very unlikely).

Spotlight mds bringing down system, constantly leaking RAM & disk access

Spotlight is going rampant here.
The mds (metadata server, aka Spotlight) process is constantly accessing the disk and writing some data to it, filling it until there is no space left on the device. I cannot find out what file it is writing to. I've tried with fsevener which sadly didn't help.
mds is also eating up all the CPU cycles it can get leaving my system fully loaded at all times.
The mds process is also taking up inceasingly huge amounts of memory, causing permanent swapping of memory and bringing the system to a grinding halt. (Cache Hits go down below 1%, About 250.000 pageins happen per minute.) Memory Footprint is going up to several hundred MB or real RAM.
$ vm_stat
Mach Virtual Memory Statistics: (page size of 4096 bytes)
Pages free: 53166.
Pages active: 275736.
Pages inactive: 135633.
Pages wired down: 59698.
"Translation faults": 10217862.
Pages copy-on-write: 136166.
Pages zero filled: 5983710.
Pages reactivated: 96772.
Pageins: 1236330.
Pageouts: 77113.
Object cache: 24391 hits of 1183451 lookups (2% hit rate)
(This is 95 minutes after reboot. Only running: Finder, Terminal, LaunchBar, Safari, Mail)
This bahaviour goes until the disk is full and I get a "low disk space" warning. Then mds crashes, the system frees up the (temporary?) files written by the process and also frees the RAM taken up by it. Resulting in even more swapping, as the system tries to page-in other processes now. Subseqently the system launches a new mds process and the game starts over.
Things I've tried to remedy:
Rebuilt spotlight index several times. Including totally deleting the .Spotlight-V100 folder on local volumes. Doesn't help, takes about 16 to 20 hours to rebuild on my machine, so is not a thing one wants to just-try.
Reinstalled 10.5.5 Combo Update, doesn't help. Privileges are repaired.
Turn off spotlight completely: Does indeed stop the madness, but now I cannot find anything on my system. So this is not a solution at all.
I've tried to keep the index small by excluding more and more stuff in the privacy settings of the Spotlight PreferencePane. This doesn't solve the problem either.
My System:
PowerBook G4 1.5GHz
2GB RAM (Maximum) (Tested with ASD ok, Rember ok. Different RAM modules, also ok.)
160GB HD (5GB free) (SMART ok, Blockscan ok, Filesystem ok, File privileges ok)
Mac OS X 10.5.5 (9F33) including Security Update 2008/007 (no further updates available)
Any help or suggestions are welcome. I'm happy to provide any further details you may need.
Best regards

This probably isn't Spotlight so much as one of the index plugins (mdimporters). Spotlight itself is very robust, however, all it takes is a single bad indexing plugin. MDS, basically, identifies a file type and loads in a list of plugins that are registered for that file type and executes a routine in the plugin to grab the metadata. If the plugin is improperly written, it can go haywire.
Thanks for the suggestion, I already had checked that.
I don't have any custom (read non-apple provided) Spotlight or QuickLook Plug-Ins on my system. So it is unlikely that it is related to a custom .mdimporter Plug-In. (Might be a buggy Apple one going rampant though.)
I've personally found Spotlight to be quite a solid technology as well. Just the user interface provided by Apple is terrible and especially useless in the Finder (Taking away functionality, or making it horrific to use since Tiger… but that is another story.)
What was the last application that you installed prior to it going crazy? Perhaps one of the last 2-3...
Failing that, you can wipeout the metadata database for a Volume like so (from Terminal.app):
*sudo mdutil -E /Volumes/yourvolumehere*
... or '/' in place of '/Volumes/...' for the local disk. You can turn off metadata indexing for a volume entirely like so:
As I already said, rebuilding the index from scratch doesn't help. Completely deleting it, and rebuilding doesn't remedy as well.
*sudo lsof | grep mdimporter*
... which might help you understand what's being used to index, and this:
/System/Library/Spotlight/Chat.mdimporter/Contents/MacOS/Chat
/System/Library/Spotlight/iCal.mdimporter/Contents/MacOS/iCal /System/Library/Spotlight/Mail.mdimporter/Contents/MacOS/Mail
Nothing fancy here.

rather than mess around with all of this and maybe fix it until the next Spotlight problem manifests itself, why not just disable Spotlight with Spotless, and use EasyFind instead? Easyfind finds everything, has more options, is reliable, and doesn't cause problems .... and doesn't eat up any space on your hard drive.
...and doesn't find what I need. Thanks for the suggestions though. As I said, totally disabling Spotlight is not an option. I'll stay far away from mysterious tools, as I know what I am doing in a Terminal.

I AM STUCK WITH MOZILLA FIREFOX / NOT SHOWN ON MY LAPTOP SCREEN / USING HUGE AMOUNT OF RAM IN GENERAL - CAN YOU HELP????

Hi,
I have copied these problem on you site, as I could explain better then what they did, wich my problem remain the same as they have. And part me explaining what is really happen to my Laptop.
''Mozilla/Firefox 4 will not SHOW on my computer SCREEN.
Firefox won't load onto my computer. I have Windows 7, and each time I try to run the program to install it, it tells me I have another version still waiting to be installed that requires my computer to reboot. When I check "yes" to reboot, my computer reboots but still no Firefox. When I try to uninstall the the old Mozilla program from my Control Panels, there is no Mozilla files or programs listed not in my list of programs but when I go directly to the Windows File on the C: Drive, there's a Mozilla program file there. WHen I go into that file check, I attempt to open the uninstall program. I get an error message that says something to the effect of: "the version Mozilla on this computer is not compatable with my OS." Something about it being and 86bit program. My Firefox 3.6 worked fine 2 days ago. What's wrong??? ''
'''Firefox 4 using huge amounts of RAM on sites with Java scripts
I have been observing Firefox using huge amount of RAM when I am on sites that use Java Scripts to rotate images. I have tried a couple of different sites and have monitored the RAM usage. With Java script enabled Firefox 4 continues to grow its RAM usage by about 10MB a minute. I have had the usage hit as high as 1.5GB. As a comparison I have monitored the same sites in Internet explorer and have not seen the same issue. - Just to eliminate a site issue.
Turning off Java Script solves the issue and eventually frees the RAM.
I am using XP Pro, 3 GB RAM. '''''
My experince with Mozilla Firefox:
Here what really happen when I install the Mozilla Firebox on my La[top you can see the file is there but when I click the program to open its does not shown on the screen but when I check with WTM (Windows Task Manager) its shows that is ON and you can only witness the laptop going very slow and I have to reboot it, and I can not install any other Mozilla :( because of the same problem and all the above.
I really need Mozilla to work as soon as possible due to important deadlines I have pendent, and i can only use Chrome but is not my ideal program. Can you help me , please ?????
Thank you

Is there a solution yet for FCPX eating all the RAM?

FCPX is eating all my RAM and 'Memory Clean' keeps having to kick in so that the system doesnt stop completely. I have searched various forums and sites for an answer but noone seems to have a solution yet.
My events and projects are all on external (7200rpm) drives, I use Event Manager X to only open what I need per project, and background processing is off, but the RAM just keeps diving down until the system almost freezes. Very frustrating, especially if a client is present.
Yes, I've trashed the preferences.
umm...help?

I do not believe that MC is capable of purging Video RAM thus the memory on your graphic card.
There are two RAM problems with FCPx or should I say OS X 10.6 & 10.7
10.6 & 10.7 does a bad job (10.6 worse than 10.7) @ setting RAM Free. This problem shows itself when overall system performance (I.e. opening a WIndow in the Finder) becomes a matter of 10 seconds etc...
There there is the Video RAM problem which is pertaining to FPCx and all versions of OS X. This problems shows itself after working intensively in FPCx... All one needs to do is to do LOTS of editing in the Timeline... On my setup with 1GB of Video RAM it will take approx. (depending on how many tasks (Edits) I am completing) 20 minutes to reveal itself. To begin with (after opening FCPX) it simply flies. No matter what I do, there is no lag just a VERY responsive app... Then after those 20 min. the CTI (Playhead) starts lagging and jumping in play. The skimmer starts choking, menus (Inspector etc) are opening at turtle-tempo... However, my Free System RAM is still @ about 10 GB.... so lots and lots of RAM... The video RAM is what is being used and NOT SET FREE.
Rebooting the Mac at this point is the only remedy. Which is OK... My rMBP boots in 7 seconds. So I am rebooting approx. every 30 minutes in a big session.
Whenever you guys experience these problems, try to take 5 minutes to recap and write to the Feedback. The more scenarios we can provide them with the better their chances of finding the culprit.
I personally find the FCPx crew to be HIGHLY responsive to feedback. THEY def. care

How can I manage more RAM on my iPod Touch 4G ?

How can I manage more RAM on my iPod Touch 4G ?
My iPod Touch 4G used to have 120MB of free RAM, but it suppost to have 256MB of RAM...120MB is totally not enough for the applications and the iOS to run smoothly...my applications always close in a sudden and the iOS is extremely lag...
I'm thinking is there anyway to manage of free more RAM on my iPod Touch 4G, I wanna free at least to 150MB...
I've tried iMemoryEnhancer, Mem Tool, Daemon Tools and Memory Free; but none of them work...I've also tried simply click on Free Memory on SBSettings...but all applications came out with the exact same result...120MB...
My iPod Touch 4G is running on iOS 4.3.1(8G4) and got 277 applications installed with around 10 Cydia tweaks..so please can anybody help me out ?

How to reset free memory to the highest

I sometimes restart Tiger to reset the "Free" memory (RAM) higher.
Is there a way to reset this without restarting?
I have 768 MB DDR SDRAM 1/4 of which is used once restarted. After a while of use, it never gets back to a 1/4. With no user apps open it can be as high as half used (My human memory seems to think it is near 1/2). So I restart to claim back the 1/4. Is there another way to clean out the processes that are using up resources?
ALSO
If I use widgets, they not only take up memory, but seem to use CPU resources as do other applications. I clean all this by restarting. I can quit all widgets to clean that out without a restart, but clearly other things claim resources. If I burn a movie DVD and another process calls to the computer, there can be for an instant a surge on available resources. I do not mean something I activate during the burn, I mean hands off but some process which is less likely if I am burning just after a restart vs after much computer use. I am assuming it delays the feed to the recording DVD which given the burning process, clocks steady and at one speed, different than the CPU and computer resources which can compensate clocking during a process. So a restart seems to minimize bad burns. It sure seems I get no bad burns if I burn after a restart. That most occurred with burns on computer time many hours and other usage past the restart.
Is there a way to reset all or close at least the most aggressive activity, to basic without a restart? I realize there are many things that build-up though I know not all. RAM, Cache, monitoring activity, -=-any know a list of all the types of activity called to play after a good bit of computer use, different than a fresh restart?

10.4 is even better with on the fly exchange, virtual memory is the same. Only the "specialty" apps are accessing any type of memory management/control and they are developed at the kernel level. You'll know which one's fall into this category as they put a very big strain on your wallet. Most seem to be working fine. A 3D CAD modeling program I am familiar with is absolutely incredible yet on the same machine running Apple's own universal apps choking and sputtering. It is not Universal but Intel native and even the previous and current PPC release run great under Rosetta, it also requires a USB security device just to open the application.
Restarting is working but it shouldn't make any difference whatsoever. The reason why it is is that apps and HW are not releasing resources properly i.e other apps, files, HD's, ports, CPU's, GPU's, keyboards, track-pads etc (even after they quit) this type of resource sharing is a new thing for them. The restart is simply releasing the resources from everything. Well almost everything, FW devices as well as partitioned internal HD's seem to misbehave, slowing things down or hanging, during startup and shutting down. A common way people are finding to force their computers to see certain USB and FW devices is to plug them in prior to startup and/or launching of any apps that may want to use such devices. However, this is not a reliable fix for devices that want to launch, control or be controlled by apps. i.e. video cameras, Maxtor OneTouch HD's etc. An all new system architecture in 10.4. I believe the majority of issue with HW and SW and the incredible number of kernel panics people are experiencing across HW configurations (G4-Intel) is that there is and error in the I/O kit at the kernel level.
One thing I see that is needed to tame this beast for USB and FW devices to work properly is a System Pref such as CD's and DVD's. When you connect a FW camera: When you connect a FW Video Device: When you connect a FW MIDI Device: When You Connect a FW HD: etc. with the same exact answers like Ask what to do, Open App, Ignore, Open finder, Run script etc. A system pref like this I believe would even help smoke out the popping kernel in a heartbeat.
People should not be looking for lists of supported equipment rather a very small list of "unsupported" devices. AFAICT any device or external piece of equipment that conforms to industry standards should work regardless if the manufacturer developed "drivers" for it or not.
I have waited for an OS like this from Apple for about 10 years. No longer had the need for it 2 or so years ago and stopped having to know what's going on. Had to get back into it in March 06 as installation of 10.4 on a G4 brought it to it's knees w/ HW frying all over the place apps not working correctly, kernel panics galore. Updated to MBP and problems are worse.
Another thing I'd like to mention is that it appears that my MBP 2.16, has already become a LEGACY PRODUCT (obsolete). G5 64 bit, ICD 32(-!?), ICD2 64 bit.
If their is anyone out there that can confirm this I would appreciate it. My .Mac account expires in a few hours so I will not be able to reply here, email or chat but will respond to a board you direct me to that allows anonymous/guest posts.
I am very curious about what a newer MacBook and a G5 computer says in the System Preferences>Processors. Mainly interested in MacBooks with ICD2 and G5's but am also curious about supported late model PB G4's w Core Image support and 64+ MB VRAM.
Your machine.
What is the processor? i.e Intel Pentium M Processor
Core Freq:
Bus Freq:
L1 Cache:
L2 Cache:
Processors:(max number)
A lot of the kernel panics being posted are all referring to HW devices primarily CPU's and GPU's and other very basic internal HW. It seems the cross architecture is getting garbled in this I/O kit. Errors in the kernel aren't usually that easy to find but I think if enough people express their concerns this one may find a quick resolution as it seems to occur close to the exchange.
Thanks

Poor RAM management in Photoshop CS4 - need help!

I have done numerous hours of research over the years only to give up and come back to this subject later on. I will try again!
I must ask: is there ANY way to get Photoshop CS4 to automatically flush used RAM after closing image files? I'm tired and annoyed of CS4 eating more and more RAM without freeing anything after an image has been closed. An image shouldn't still eat up memory when it isn't even open anymore. It seems to be terrible RAM management of the program itself and how Adobe has forgotten to write that little snippit of code to clear the RAM after an image has been closed.
I know this is not because of:
Cache levels
Setting too large of a saved history state; purging history cache or any kind of cache still never frees RAM
A lack of updates; I have been up to date with CS4 very punctually as they were released
The computer I am on; this poor RAM management has been around since CS2 and it's the same on the last 4 computers I have used
Does CS5 still do this too?

Your historically conditioned to believe software apps should swap data a standard way. The way your using the system is probably not the most effective processing for your workflow.
- I have hundreds of TIFFS that take 60-120MB each in processing, and 8gb of RAM. The more total RAM actually usable that I can use the better. How the heck can using less of what is actually available RAM enhance my workflow? Standard are standards for a reason. The ink industry for printing is non-standardized and people waste $3-5 billion+ a year only increasing on unused ink that is still remaining in their cartridges, because there is no standard way of manufacturing ink, filling cartridges, or monitoring how much ink is actually left in a cartridge. I'd love for more standards in more markets. Unless natively stable, all other programs on my computer work flawlessly with said demonized traditional methods and standards, even in high bandwidth applications a hell of a lot more intensive than Photoshop CS4 will EVER be. Currently people keep disregarding the fact that in my situation CS DOESNT FREE THE RAM. CS4 is balloon. Balloon inflate. Never deflate even when emptied. Overflow into other rooms of critical OS space where balloon shouldn't be when it fill the room full. How many analogies must I give? Must I use sign language? Binary?
You don’t have enough experience with these topics. This is actually a
true statement. Most companies with systems large and small have to
think about what it costs to process specific jobs. If one in a thousand
jobs swap, a decision must be made to know how much it would cost to
retrofit a very expensive environment to keep that one job swap from
occurring. Most times it is better to let the swap happen for this
non-mission critical item than pay $50,000 to upgrade all systems.
I said NON EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. Emergencies are once in a while. You're repeating what I said like a parrot, but in different longer sentences with more words telling me I don't get what I'm talkinga bout. You're missing the full picture of what I am actually saying. That 1 in 1000 overflow would be exactly true in my situation with 7GB used, but it's not. Why not? Because the CS4 balloon will not deflate itself or reuse the empty space inside the balloon when it's needed, and the OS isn't given back any of the empty space to work with to know it doesn't need to page anything. In turn CS4 is going to try and scratch too when the OS is telling it that is has no more RAM left when indeed it does, but its hiding it in its own reserve balloon from itself. If a company needed just 700MB more room and either they spend $50k to upgrade to that, or get CS4 to release some space once in awhile, they'd sure as hell bother Adobe or write their own mod to force CS4 to release unused allocated RAM to get it.
Self inflicted only because I want to push the limit of what is actually usable on my machine, not some 'safe zone' with high tolerance. My system is tuned for a fine line of performance and I know what it can hande. I know what it uses and it does not spike usage for random OS operations. It can handle 7GB to 7.2GB of RAM of freely used RAM to one active program if it needs that big of a workspace to work. If CS4 isn't going to reuse the hollow areas in that balloon, then that's not my fault. My OS can handle the fine tuning, and CS4 is what cannot, obviously, since it can see that much RAM but not use the last %10 correctly.
