IMO JB is useless unless its AOSP, which indeed I guarantee your working on.

JB came out around the right time because it improves all of the little things that was wrong with ICS.

Samsung as moved to the S3 and so has TMO...the 989 is dead to them.

Good luck :-)

Truthfully said my friend.

I hate the telcos for this reason.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Master&Slave™:
It was planned to release ICS so late for the 989...to make contract users buy a $630 device in order to get an update they didn't need in the first place. The 989 was solid with GB and it was all it needed to be honest. The Samsung ICS update wasn't worth all the bans, arguments and closed threads. That is why I resent it but hey my ROM must live through it now right?

Then tried disk internals Linux reader and says there's an error. I even went as far as trying Ubuntu on a virtual machine to see if I could mount it but didn't work either. Could these files be encoded within the 1click?

Have you tried de-bloating your phone? It would also be good to disable application that auto-starts.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan2305:
Hey. You don't have to worry about the available RAM being low. Android manages RAM usage differently than most other Operating Systems like OSX and Windows. Essentially, having RAM used up in Android is good because it caches apps in the background which allows you to have fluid multitasking.

If you are worried about performance then the best thing to do would be to install an app called Watchdog. This app will monitor the CPU usage of apps. These truly affect the performance of the phone. In general though don't worry about the RAM. And whatever you do, don't use a Task Killer for RAM purposes. This can be damaging because it can corrupt files and processes and inevitably cause more harm than good.

Hope that helps :)

You cannot stop apps from autostarting without root.

You do not need root to remove bloatware.

Go to settings and apps, and then click on what you don't want and disable it.

edit your build prop, change the delvik heap size to 128....freed up ram for me, though i honestly dont need it. i only have around 100mgb of free ram and my phone still multie tasks like a champ.

but there are options.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disclaimernotice:
The story about ram management being different on android or linux is a common explanation used with regard to why ram consumption is not something to be worried about, but it is not entirely true. The truth is, ram and cpu speed work hand in hand. If your ram is full, then the cpu has to constantly open and close background processes, and this will slow the phone down if the cpu is slow. For example, on the Galaxy S, the phone starts to lag when ram falls below 100mb. However, there is no such problem on the Galaxy S3. This is due to the quad core cpu which is able to open and close processes fast enough that there is no noticeable lag. With that said, ram consumption is nothing to be worried about on multi-core phones, despite the fact that it was a problem on older single core phones. The only way the ram on the Galaxy S3 would be limited enough to cause problems is if a single app or process requires more than the 780mb available, which is extremely unlikely.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
This is assuming that what the cpu is processing is not in RAM, which is the point of it anyway
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biketom:
I also think that RAM is not the issue, although I just read that Samsung is planning to increase RAM to 2GB even for the European Models because of Jelly Bean consuming more RAM than expected...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshnichols189:
That is false. The US versions have 2GB of RAM because of their processor using more RAM. Jellybean runs just fine on the Galaxy nexus with 1GB of RAM and only a dual core processor.

Your version of the story is after taking on new facts as well, this is like Chinese whispers.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
No not at all. The average person doesnt even know what ram is for. It simply cause the Qualcomm processor needs more ram for certain processes like 1080p video playback or video recording, and stuff like that. When you look at the htc one x att version ( qualcomm s4 processor which is a great and fast processor), it struggles at multitasking vs the tegra 3 version cause the att version uses more ram.

Oh and AGAIN, nexus s, 512mb of ram and its getting jelly bean.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matticala:
Unused memory is wasted memory. As long as you don't stuff it it's ok... using task managers you:

- mess with Android memory management;

- consume more battery, because what you kill will simply restart, boosting cpu for startup;

- slow the system overall, because waking a sleeping process takes much less (and much less battery) than reallocating it.

Just "exit" the hungry apps like Opera, Dolphin and browsers in general, Skype etc. and you'll be fine.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disclaimernotice:
No, the US version of the S3 was going to have 2gb of ram ALL ALONG, even before jellybean was announced. This is stated on websites of US carriers describing the phone. The reason for having 2gb of ram on the US version is to make up for the lack of quad core, so that the phone can still stand out from the crowd. That's all. There was no last minute upgrade. The 2gb of ram was planned from the very beginning. I mean, it's been discussed on tech websites, and also here on xda, so I simply can't understand why this rumour is spreading so easily. If anything, it simply proves that the so called 'tech experts' who write such articles aren't really experts at all.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Lots of them aren't experts at all, its like theyre just giving their opinions or assuming things. Of course samsung wouldnt "cripple" their flagship, most highly anticipated phone ever with 1GB of ram if Jellybean did require 2gigs. Thats just absurd.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Even tough the post I'm referring to is on the first of currently 5 pages, it gets brought up a lot.

Windows does NOT handle RAM that much differently from Linux or other UNIX-based operating systems (including the BSD-Based Darwin which is the base for all OSX and IOS) in regard to using it all up. Even Microsoft is not that stupid to waste perfectly good memory. It will need the same power anyway whether filled or not.

The Windows Task Manager essentially lies to you when it tells you that there are X GB of free RAM, since it automatically substracts the 'Standby' (in Linux-terms: Cached) and 'Modified' (in Linux-terms: Write-cache) memory from the displayed value. Just click on 'Resource monitor' to verify. If the computer has been used for some time the actual 'free' memory should be well below 100MB.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmd512:
While I agree with the "unused RAM is wasted RAM" premise, I think the OP still has a point. When I look back at my previous S2 used/free RAM, there was always 300-400MB of free RAM after a days worth of usage with similar apps installed (and NEVER had to close stuff out via the task manager). While in theory this is wasted space, I NEVER ran into redraw problems as it always had that buffer of free RAM that was constantly available.

However, on the SGS3, if you're running a "heavier" launcher like Go Launcher Ex (with its icon resizing, font resizing, and million other options) and ever use the browser for an extended period of time, you WILL get redraw after you exit the browser. This is because the browser easily gobbles up 200+MB of RAM (note: you only have about 300-400MB of free RAM right after a fresh reboot).

Is this a deal killer for the SGS3? Absolutely not, love this device. But, you can't sit there and tell me that you're not actively removing apps from the task manager more often than you had to on the SGS2. I sure as hell am to keep the user experience the same, but on that note, I wish Samsung would've at least offered an upsell model with more RAM that I could have considered in lieu of having to do all this "task managing."
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Are you sure it was really free or Samsung-tweaked not to include the caches/buffers?

I have more apps installed on my S3 and the notification bar is regularly overflowing from all the services and notification tools I use, but i NEVER force-close an app.

The only tinkering is do is use the Autostart manager to remove handles from certain apps which I know I won't need.

And the phone still feels (and is) as snappy as day one. I'd even guess better since it didn't ship with Siyah =)
