I have around 1.1GB free on boot, and an average of 8-900MB free after that. How many apps do you have installed? I wouldn't exclude the possibility that a badly coded app is leaking RAM like a faucet.

I have 480mb left and thats with 3 day uptime. I do notice that its a little sluggish compared with 4.2.2. But thats not memory thats just the system and processes that kitkat uses. More features mean more processes.

Go into settings/developer options

and then change the processes to 4 max.
Default it 8, so that will stop the lag you are probably experiencing. :cowboy:

Above 800 MB free after 5 days without reboot. I play heavy games for about 2 hours everyday (Zelda64 via N64oid, Asphalt 8, Dungeon Hunter 4). But that's on my 4.3 :D

Waiting for the fix before I update to KK. Its already 9/04 and Sony told the fix will start rolling from 7/04 :rolleyes:

maybe due to some apps restored via TB? cannot be right? or possible :D

Oh, I see! But six months? That... is brutal :eek: Let's hope your Ultra survives the trip, or else you'll be screwed. Have a great "trip" though, and we'll see you again when Android 4.5 or 5.0 is out :p

wow, shocked! 6 months no internet... i think i can't handle that. Now i'm shocked on myself realising how much time i waste on internet with finding info i actually don't need but would like to know. Now i'm thinking, 6 months on sea also means 6 months no women, not even the digitalized onces;)

You've a cool job though, have a good trip!

Heck, my internet disappeared for a couple of hours on tuesday, and i was lying on the bathroom floor, crying.

Fine, that last part never happened.
