To you I'm sure it does. Not to 99% of the users on here though.

I've found this rather awesome little app. I'm going to let the phone get it's leak on, then hopefully this will show me what process is taking up all the RAM.

AFAIK this won't work (although it does look like a nice app) since this sort of thing won't show up if you run 'top' in bash... which is what this looks like it's doing.

This is likely something slightly deeper in Android leaking like a sieve... y'know it wouldn't surprise me if it's like CM10 memory leak where certain things are causing gralloc to not release memory.
Anyway I do believe it's an issue with the releases surrounding K1, the more recent UK releases (which will hopefully filter down soon) don't seem to get this. Oh, and if you look on the AU Optus FB pages youll see a lot of people are complaining about this

System_server is the culprit

---

So that nice little app has helped find the cause, though I tended to agree with wmc90 and didn't think it would.

The problem is the system_server process keeps growing and growing and growing. On reboot it is ~70Mb. I just rebooted my phone 10 minutes ago because it was restarting every process and system_server process was up to 210Mb.

Now to figure out what's in system_server that's the problem...

UPDATE

---

4.1.2 appears to have fixed the problem for me.
At the present time, I haven't seen System_server get above about 80Mb, and every now and then some sort of clean up seems to run and it shrinks down to 64Mb.

There's hope yet. I'm glad I didn't do a factory reset, though everyone kept telling me to (personally I think they're bull****)

Same here. ..4.1.2 update seems to have fixed the memory leak issue.

I think it hasnt completely fixed the issue yet in JB 4.1.2. Sometimes I can run a couple days where whenever I check how much ram was in use, it was in the mid 600mb and using the ram manager to clear the running apps I can go down to high 400mb or low 500mb. Other times it gets past 700mb and clearing the same I'm still having high 600mb ram usage.

4.1.2 didn't fix it for me

---

I am running 4.1.2 and I still see this issue. Most of the processes (Maps, Atci_services, Settings etc.) show restarting. Not sure if it's because my device has only 512 mb ram (and that's not enough for 4.1.2 ?). I use Tasker, Nova Prime, SwiftKey which are always running and may be eating some RAM but still their total RAM usage is far less (< 80MB in total). So not sure if there's still some memory leak in 4.1.2 because after restart RAM usage comes down.
