[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sak500:
Just curious to know how much is available Ram on 2GB models as:

1. How much originally available for use (1GB has 780MB for use)

2. Free RAM available in normal usage (1GB model usually has about 150~200mb out of available 780mb only). Even my LG O3D with 512mb has same amount of 150+mb available

And pls no comments on memory usage by linux is different or free ram is wasted ram blahblahblah we all know that but still free available RAM is always better.

My PC 4GB shows about 2.4GB available at hand and when i open Chrome with 50tabs at the same time it goes down to 200mb but i still feel no lag whatsoever. HOwever SIII seems to lag (launcher redraws) etc even with the latest updates.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Open Task Manager, go in the 'Performance' Tab, and click on 'Resource Monitor'.

Then select the 'Memory' tab and take a look at the 'Free' value.

With computers which have been bused for 1-2 hours, this value is usually far below 100MB, currently mine even shows 0MB free memory.

At the same time Task Manager speaks of roughly 1.5GB of free Memory.

You just contradicted yourself :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sak500:
How did i contradict myself? I said my memory drops down to few 100mbs when i open CHROME with 50 TABS... U know 50 PAGES full of text/pictures.. If i close chrome it goes up to 2.3GB out of 4GB (32bit os so only 3.xx gb is available).

My PC is on 24/7 and usually reboot once a week after windows update keep pestering me to restart.

So end of 7 days RAM is 2.3GB, plus Skype/MSN services, torrents, dropbox, antivirus, malaware, raptr, wifi, EPU Engine for Asus board plus tons of other software running. So why we can't have decent ram available on a much smaller footprint o/s ?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kitch9:
Available ram isn't always better. The launcher redraws because Samsung for whatever reason gave it low cache priority which hopefully will soon be fixed. A well managed cache will take ALL your ram whilst making the phone smooth as hell and the S3 isn't quite there with that yet. A cache speeds things up, but can be seemlessly removed from ram if a specific application actually needs the ram for itself. The Launcher priority is currently set so its one of the first items removed from the cache if an app needs it (Usually the browser as its ram heavy.) which shouldn't be the case, theres plenty of other apps which should be removed first.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red Wolf:
dude as far as I know you can do most of the stuff on 1GB ram, I made a stupid mistake when I bought my PC I bought 32GB RAM lol can't even be able to use 20%
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
With 32Gb of RAM you can completely disable the swap file for Windows. I've got 18Gb on my home PC and I've been running without a swap file.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Have you even tried doing what I described?

Of course the system will not immediatly be able to fill up those Gigabytes of RAM with Disk Caching, but it eventually will.

My point is that ALL major operating systems fill up their RAM in an attempt to make the experience better. Linux is nothing special in that regard.

You also didn't comment on my suggestion to remove bloatware you do not need.

By the way, the S3's OS footprint is about 2GB, vs Windows XP 650MB.

Talk about small operating systems...

@Red Wolf: Holy moses, that's a lot of RAM. I've recently had to upgrade our family computer from 4GB to 16GB of RAM because my mom kept opening new Firefox tabs until the computer swapped to disk and then complained about it being so slow.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graffixnyc:
Are you seriously trying to compare the performance of a PC to your phone? That's pretty funny.. I dont understand how the memory in your PC and how it is used and managed can be compared at all to an Android phone. phones are powerful but they are no way meant to be a desktop replacement.... yet anyway.

And about the blah blah blah, as much as you hate to hear it Linux DOES handle memory a LOT different than Winblows, that's just the truth.

Now the 2gb will have more free ram, and will probably be able to keep more apps in an open state than the international 1gb. but I seriously think 1gb on a phone will be fine for another year.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
With custom rom around 1.3 Gb free

And I totally agree with graffixnyc.

Does bln control works on galaxy mini?..I tried on so many roms,but nothing worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] kitrax59:
Where would you actually use it when the mini doesnt have any led button? It will only work on phones with capacitive led buttons and make use of them as notification led..
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] sach in:
Maclaw posted in his latest ics rom as it supports bln control.so asked.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] lightstar3103:
This function is useless because our SGM don't have any led.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] juhztin_abletes:
I love the REAL ICS.. I'm on r3.1 cause i am waiting for the r4 release without facebook problem..

For those who wants to try.. Why should i choose this rom:

1. Because this rom is based on official firmware of sony (jellybean)

2. If you're not a custom roms lover, you should love this rom also! (HAHA) Because it's like official firmware too, but smoother, got walkman player, etc!

3. The features and interfaces are greater than the official!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Feanor88:
Jelly Bean? What about that? :rolleyes:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] exiProx:
Real ICS is very good. But with soms bugs. I wait a better version than r4!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] caer_ayu:
my own custom made rom is the best ..because it's has what i need :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] coolbuy:
Excuse me kido.. its based on sony official ics. :cowboy:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] prime_225:
How's the gaming performance of realICS?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kareemgonna:
MIUI for me :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rodtang:
The rom looks awesome, just a shame I can't install it on my locked st17i.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Yungfu:
Ok, i flashed to ics real lite v1.1 and am using rage kernel. Its a clean install and didnt use any backups. I only restored my contacts via memory card backup and messeges via sms backup app. This is on the mini pro.

My problem is sometimes when i get a call, i get a black screen. I press the power button to turn my screen on then i unlock my screen then answer the call. When i do that i get an error bout "com.android.phone" not responding. Whenni click ok, my prone drops the call and i cant even see the caller via call log, its so frustrating. Ive read around and ppl suggested i delete a few messages from "reject call with message", but i cant find a delete command in there. Secondly, there was this suggestion about clearing the contacts cache and stuff via app manager. This only deleted my whole contact list and was never able to get it back till i did a reinstall of the rom. I dont use facebook or some other app, my setup is bone dry basic, i only use sms backup app.

I also tried using another rom, the full version of real ics v4, still nothing. Any help would be appreciated as i really like this rom.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rodtang:
I also got that error when flashing back to gingerbread to root it then to ICS so it shouldn't be a problem with Real ICS, I know repairing the phone fixed it one time but I also think flashing it and wiping data also worked, flashing it and not wiping didn't though.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Yungfu:
yeah, i tried wiping dalvik, cache, format, etc. it still isnt fixed. im gonna try fixing permissions next.
[HTC ChaCha] yoricome:
Battery drains 100 to 0 in 2~3 hours.

It occurs even sitting in idle and my spare battery shows the same problem.

I've flashed cm7, cm9, and stock roms but the problem still persists.

I have no idea whether it is a hardware issue, or RIL&baseband related.

switched off GPS, wifi, and auto-sync, lowered backscreen light to 25%

downclocked cpu to 245

battery calibration

battery saving apps

fix50

factory reset

Nothing could solve the problem... any help?
[HTC ChaCha] waqaszahid:
So your saying that even with a fresh install (no apps installed) you're having the same problem? The android system seems to be consuming a lot of battery, normally its around 2 to 3%. Do you have an SD card? have you tried scanning it for viruses? Or may be you could try installing an antivirus just to be sure and put your device and sd through a full scan.
[HTC ChaCha] yoricome:
thanks for reply. havn't thought about virus. now i'm trying full scan. hope this work.
[HTC ChaCha] yoricome:
After all these following tests, the problem still persists and now I think it is related to mechanical issue..

I will try to contact HTC reps.. Thanks for your advice anyway.
[HTC ChaCha] pakdaman:
I have the same problem

android system on my htc chacha is using something like 48%, I charge my phone three times a day, was ur problem related to a virus or something? I try not to buy a antivirus since it costs too much and also I believe it drains much more battery than android system..
[HTC ChaCha] waqaszahid:
I doubt whether a hardware problem could be the cause, android system should not consume so much battery in any case. Did you wipe all data, cache and dalvik cache when you installed the custom roms?
[HTC ChaCha] pakdaman:
I didn't install a custom rom, the only thing that I did was S-off and rooting the phone, could it have caused this issue?
[HTC ChaCha] waqaszahid:
You said in your first post that you have flashed cm7 and cm9 and I am guessing you must have done it using clockwork recovery. I am a little confused now. Did you factory reset the device?
[HTC ChaCha] yoricome:
I did factory reset more than ten times.

Actually, this battery issue has started to happen since I flashed cm9. At first, I thought this came from mismatched RIL & baseband.

(Note : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1549488)

Sadly GetRIL doesn't support chacha, so I just flashed back to the one I used before - with full wipe - but it couldn't resolve the issue.

The last thing I could think of was flashing back to stock rom and I followed this guide.:)

(Note : http://androidforums.com/chacha-all...lash-back-stock-rom-chacha-please-sticky.html)
[HTC ChaCha] yoricome:
I agree that it is strange Android System process eats too much of battery, but I couldn't find any errors from it when I checked the process log.
[HTC ChaCha] atrix4g18:
Are you sure there is nothing wrong with your actually battery? try getting a replacement and see if that helps.
[HTC ChaCha] pakdaman:
To me android system consumes the same amount and I have like 5 hours full use(e.g. browsing + 3G) , I believe there might be a problem with ur own battery, try replacing it and see whether it works for u or not
[HTC ChaCha] yoricome:
I have two brand new batteries and both of them have the same issue.

Today one of HTC tech reps told me they checked my cell and found a problem with mainboard. :o They will replace it.

I will close this thread. Thank all of you guys for supporting.

hey guys i just flashed promethius rom and now im stuck on lg screen can get into cwm but thats about it can any one help me think i will have to go back to stock anyway i want to update to gingerbread this lg optimus 3d is still running froyo plz help guy
[LG Optimus 3D] Monki:
Try a factory reset from within cwm
[LG Optimus 3D] skilovan:
i think you cant run prometheus, until you have gb on your o3d.First you need to flash it.Use kdz method or wathever you like to do this.
[LG Optimus 3D] twinAnj:
I'm pretty sure the fact that you're running froyo is the reason why flashing the rom.did not work. Promethius operates on gingerbread basebands so you need to be updated for the rom to work properly. It would also help if you asked this in the promethius thread lol
[LG Optimus 3D] twinAnj:
Did you make a back up before you tried flashing the rom?
[LG Optimus 3D] wichniar:
hello

Connect your phone to your computer using a USB cable

Run Lg Suite

remove the batteries and then insert

you hold the power On end volume up (+)

keep it pressed until lg suite says that the phone is connected

Or you will see the option to upgrade - If yes, update your phone to the basic version

And if it does not display upgrade options

Go to the Emergency Recovery system end typing the IMEI and install - end update your phone to the basic version.
[LG Optimus 3D] xbsall:
And what exactly did you develop in this thread?

Please avoid creating threads like this in Android Developers section.

Apart from that all necessary information to fix your phone is here

[GUIDES/TOOLS]Making Developing/Flashing/Returning to Stock Easier (Multi-page thread 1 2 3 ... Last Page)

or you can ask for help from Promethius ROM users in that thread.
[LG Optimus 3D] josuelopezv:
I think this thread should be moved to general section
[LG Optimus 3D] yourguitarist:
Not to be rude or anything but please don't start a new thread every time a single problem occurs. Also, do some searching and reading in the threads that are already there. There's at least 4 guides to do a kdz flash. We shouldn't have to hold your hand every time something happens.

But really, update to gingerbread and that'll clear up 90% of your problems
[LG Optimus 3D] scouse83:
Sorry i still kinda new to all this thanks for your advice its taken on board. I still cant get the rom to work though even tho its on gb lol bloody phone

Hi all!

How can i show keyboard on long press menu (default is search) on stock Rom like cm7 ?

Or any way to show it without touch on text (to use with jbed) :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] saisonics:
I think it depends on the apps you are using. Sometimes it shows automatically when you are about to write something :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Messi10:
go to setting -----> cyanogenmod setting ----> input ----> long-press menu button -------> choose behavior -----> soft keyboard
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
stock rom is what samsung put in your phone, cm7 is custom rom...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
download game keyboard then open it and select "tap here to call out game keyboard on exit"

you will get keyboard then you can run the game, in which you want it
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] xenv1:
i am using stock, not cm7
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] xenv1:
i using java emulator, chat program, when input:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adzrules:
Sony developed a unique way for a phone to register fingers 'floating' above the screen a while back. They boasted novelty features like 'hovering over links to see webpage URLs' and others. Am I the only one that sees the potential of such technology for things such as Project Butter?

Project butter increases the CPU speed as soon as it notices you touch the screen - this results in a noticeably faster response time. However, surely the time taken to register a touch and to ramp up the CPU speed takes some time (albeit a very short amount). Could Google not buy/pay Sony for the rights to use their technology? I mean, if the phone can register your fingers before they touch the screen and the processor kicks into fast mode before you even do anything with the device, that would speed things up even more, right?

Obviously power consumption should be considered.

Here's the link to the Sony page explaining things a bit: HERE

Here's a video of the technology in action on the Xperia™ sola: HERE

Just a thought.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I would think that you need specific hardware for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Even if it there really is a benefit in ramping the CPU up when hovering your finger over the display (One hundrenth of a second before you touch the screen?), I highly doubt Google will want to go into legal battles with Sony for stealing their technology.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adzrules:
Indeed, but a possibility for the future perhaps?

Legal battles wouldn't exist if they agreed to pay whatever for the use of it etc. They'd be pretty stupid to copy such a bespoke technology from Sony.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Maybe on Nexus devices... Its hard enough to get hardware manufacturers to update software, much less anything else.

I dunno. Seems kind of gimmicky to me. Imagine the fun that ensues when you put your phone in your pocket and it wakes up. I mean it looks neat, but I think it has limited usefulness.

Scrolling and hovering doesn't require much accuracy. Correct me if I am wrong, but to use it like you are thinking, it needs pretty much pinpoint accuracy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] negrobembon:
I could happen though, if the next Nexus was a Sony

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chadouming:
1st we would need to have the right hardware. But tbh, i doubt this is a great thing. The screen is the biggest battery drainer on our phone. If we give it even more power this would drain battery like charlie sheen take some cocaine. It would also bring a new set of gesture that one can accomplish simply with 2 fingers instead of 1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xjman:
There are other phones that have insanely sensitive screens, I have a buddy that has an LG and it can register touches just before you touch the screen.

Your cpu should clock faster when you begin to use it, as soon as you hit the power button and everything animates your cpu is most likely already at max freq.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] con247:
My Resound can register scrolls without even touching the screen. I mean my finger is like <1mm from it when I do it but still.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adzrules:
Yeah all of them do that (from my experience). But the Sony technology seems to be able to do it when you're about 1cm away.

In terms of it turning your phone on in your pocket, it shouldn't make much difference as your phone is either screen off locked in there, or locked at least. The battery usage would be insignificant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Phones sometimes wake in pockets though.

Thank you, that is smoother.... trying full beta with Rezound :cool:

I've discovered my international HTC One X 32GB becomes very very slow when i fill up the phones internal storage. You need to keep around 5 to 7GB free for the phone to stay useable. I'm on stock rom and asked someone i knew with a one x to try the same and he had the same problem. I'm on android 4.03 software version 1.29.401.11

Do other ppl have the same issue where the phone becomes slower and slower as more storage gets used?
[HTC One X] oftiklaus:
I noticed the same thing but it only happens when I go under 1 Gb of free SD storage. Only occurred on 1.29 and 2.05 Sense based Roms, I was too lazy to try it with CM9

my g1, motorola milestone, desire hd, samsung galaxy tab, my wifes wildfire and wild fire s all run perfectly with filled to the brim sd cards. why the hox wont is beyond me.
