[Q] RAM full problem in defy+

[jackajay]

i am using defy+ with stock 2.3.4 GB.i have installed Go launcher EX.when i switch on my mobile my free RAM is 220mb but after a couple of days free RAM shrinks to only 60mb making phone dead slow. i tried freeing RAM using advanced task killer and some other RAM managing app but no improvement

Sent from my MB526 using xda app-developers app.when i open task manager i couldn't see any running background apps but still my available free RAM is only 60mb. so i have to restart my mobile every 5 to 6 days.


Need some help to solve this issue

thanks,

Try using Titanium Backup to freeze unwanted apps.
You can also back up everything, do a factory wipe and then restore whatever you need from Titanium.
This may free up RAM.
But what's the problem anyway? Free RAM is wasted RAM in Android. Using task killers achieves nothing - it just uses up more system resources.

You could limit background processes in dev tools

You can set apps to auto end in Task Manager and restart your phone once everyday.

Maybe try some other launcher instead of Go. This way you can pin point if go launcher is the reason or the ROM itself... Apex is a nice launcher and there are many others.

You can root and try cm 7.2 , its very light on resources and zippy ..

i thought of rooting my phone but problem is, i still have 4 months warranty and couldn't find my stock SBF DFP-891 asian retail anywhere so reluctant to try rooting.

anyone have tried unrooting option in superclick with success?

The method I suggested above (Titanium Backup) will not completely work unless you have root.

I have rooted and unrooted with SuperOneClick - but I'm on a different SBF and ROM than you. I'm pretty sure you can do it.

I never heard of that SBF though - where did you get that from?

How about a screenshot of your "About Phone" ?

that's my stock rom which came with my defy+ when i bought by January 2012. i don't know how to take screenshot of my own phone details.

You can install a screenshot app or just copy and paste the info here.

I don't see your particular SBF file available for download anywhere.

I suggest you root with SuperOneClick, install 2ndInitDefy / CWM and make a NAND backup. (#1)
Then do a wipe data / factory reset and make another NAND backup. (#2)

Then go and flash whatever ROM turns you on, overclock, undervolt, tweak CPU settings etc.
If you don't like the result, simply restore your NAND backup #1.

If you ever need to return your phone for warranty then restore backup #2, unroot, and remove 2ndInit.

Not sure why you are worried about free memory though. It is probably not causing poor performance on your Defy.

the EX Launcher itself is a big RAM cosumer.
try uninstalling and check using other task killer.

anyone please give me rough idea about space needed in SD card to take nandroid back up with & without factory resetting.

Anywhere from around 300MB to 700MB usually.

Yep. Free RAM has nothing to do with speed / performance on the Defy. Not sure what the OP problem is.

 

[abhi9029]

Try Launcher Pro... Its fast and fluid and consumes less RAM than any other launcher.
And disabled some apps which you dont need to RUN. also do not install too much apps.

The actual problem is after few days of usage after a reboot the RAM goes below 50MB so if i open opera mobile browser the music running in jetaudio or inbuilt music player stops and mobile starts to lag.when i try to switch from opera mobile to music player and back to opera mobile,opera gets restarted.its irritating to see phone lagging like this i have installed some 20+app not sure if that is a reason.

I thought of buying titanium backup pro but the reviews given for it is not so good can someone tell me if there is any issue with latest version of that software pls.

No. The actual problem is you are not rooted so you don't have full control over your system.
Titanium might help but Titanium Pro for Root will help more, as will ohter various tweaks and tricks you can apply when you root, including flashing alternate ROMs.
