[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahyoh:
now there about 4 or 5 updates and they didnt fix this deadly issue

i think cm team fix it

sammy developer need to learn from cm team how should they work

btw in s2 we have low frame rate on low light video and they didn't fix it until now so don't dream about ram mangement fix :rolleyes::rolleyes:

i think my next phone is the next nexus and i don't care about all amazing options in s3 with amazing cpu + gpu with ****ing ram management made the device **** as device from 2010 or 2009
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
No there is ONE official update.. LFB(LG1 is identical) and there is nothing wrong with ram management on gs3.

But way to many ppl. think that this phone can handle 3-4-5 games BIG games(600mb+ each) and 200 apps and open all of them at the same time. It's a PHONE for crying out loud, not a 2.67 MHz, 4gb ram PC.

put things in proportion,please. This phone is a beast and that's why ppl think it can handle anything they throw at it. It can't. It's a bloody phone.

Ps. Try a cache cleaner once in a while and reboot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yahyoh:
hmm but free ram 200 mb is soooo little for such amazing device , i see in ur sig u r using syiah i think for sure he fix the problem so thats why i think u didnt have the problem :cool:

I play also games like N.O.V.A or Spiederman, but I have no problems with RAM at all. Of course when playing high end games almost all other applications are closed, but the game itself does not show any lag at all.

I'm really happy with my S3.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
The android system is build to handle ram this way, it keeps the last and most used apps in memory,if u clean ram then android will fill it up straight away, that is why android is so fast to open apps (games, whatever) because it is stored in the ram and this is how android operates. |~~very short version~~|

So don't use task killers, it will ruin androids ram management and make your phone less responsive.

Rather use a cache cleaner instead and make a random soft reboot

Ooh, gorkhan didn't improve ram management, but as i recall andreilux implemented a small change in ram management in b.18(Perseus)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swent:
You have no clue about android ram management, do you?

For android, most free RAM is wasted RAM, that's why it always tries to keep a lot of data / apps loaded for increased access speed.

But whenever needed it will clear the unneeded stuff our of the RAM to make space for whatever you are doing.

GS3 has some pretty good memory speed and a quad core CPU, together those two help in loading/unloading your RAM very fast, just as needed.

You may notice a 0,5 sec lag period when switching from a heavy game to the launcher, but that's about it... in the long run, it works pretty well and you shouldn't notice a lot of lag.

So don't get me wrong, probably it would not hurt to have another 0,5-1 GB of RAM, but even with 1GB we really are fine.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armanderli:
All those people saying there is no problem with Ram management on Sgs3... Just search on YouTube, videos comparison between the international version and the korean Sgs 3 Lte 2GB of Ram... How it switch between heavy backgroud tasks... The international version literaly feels like a joke...

ermm why 1.5 ? make it 2gb haha , anyway gameloft games is not as stable as you think , it could be your game issues
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
Omg. That's my point. It's a freaking phone. Cm9 is what? 130mb, stock rom is 800mb and now read my previous post,u clearly didn't understand a bit of it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JF-GINO:
Problem is, its not just games.... My frikkin launcher (go launcher) stops responding cause the bloody phone runs out of ram.... NEVER happened on my SGS2, Note or even my frikkin Acer liquid with 512 megs of ram... Hell, Even playing audio in my car and opening another app will cause it to close.....Even opening the camera will close other apps .... This is NOT normal behavior for a phone like this.

If its ram management, Firmware or Kernel related I hope the Devs can find it in there hearts to fix this issue otherwise this thing is worse then the original hero. Maybe there is a script that can help manage ram with different values? I dont know but it is definitely a problem.

JJ. Egan wrote: 18 million handsets sold with 4000 complaints. U do the math.....

So, don't know if your plain unlucky or it's a rouge app or u just filled your phone up with to many games and apps,then*try to launch them all at once.

From your sig it looks like u know what u are doing, so it must be a faulty handset

Edit: i can play any game, open 20 apps and my phone run smooth as a baby's but.next time,format everything in mount/storage (not sdcard) to get a clean install and then flash the rom.

Doesn't really matter what kernel they all run perfect, its more what u like.

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------

Also remember,that most games are add supported and even though u use addfree they are still trying to launch the add even if the game or app is closed,as long as u are connected to the internet they will try.

I never use add supported apps and only a few games, but i change their permission,so they have no internet access,some games can handle that u change permission,if that occur then i uninstall it...

Hope this helps a bit
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norpan111:
So.. Why do you think I was trying to argue with you? Samsung obviously added too much bloat for this phone to handle and messed up the priorities. It's a software issue and will probably get fixed some day. I expect my phone to do everything I throw at it, and it does...

Edit: its not like we run pc apps here, we run apps optimized for phones and probably not even needs all the power the phone has

Do u interested in rooting your phone or install custom ROM? U may find some useful ROM from this post. According to me, using the stock Firmware, the SGS3 will perform like ****(REALLY) try some custom kernel. It could fix urr RAM too:)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
That's exactly MY point, u EXPECT the phone to handle anything u throw at it and test its capabilities,that's normal.. but everything has a limitation,also this phone. Most ppl also play gameloft and they are known to be a crap of s...,beautiful,topnotch grafik, but very poorly coded(rushed).

so back my point, many here complaining about lag also complain about they can't move app 2 SD, because they filled up the internal SD, that says everything,because it's not music, movies, pictures or normal files they can be moved to external sd with greatest ease, so what is cramped into their SD, yes apps and games, 11gb of s ...and u expect the phone to handle they open all at the same time.then u are truly naive

Edit:about bloat, u are so right there, i remove about 200mb when i get my hands on the phone.to me its useless .but many ppl like it, we are only a few 1000 (10.000) here at xda(gs3)

SGS3 RAM size matters

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29258811

agreed, especially when loading and playing some flash games out there with background program like, music player/tunein radio/built in radio, skype, .. SGS2 1GB stock rom doesn't experience the issue seen on SGS3 stock/custom rom.. unfortunately, no SGS3 custom rom has ever been able to fix the issue, at least no video proof that it does. if anyone with SGS3 2GB out there, I'm sure it would certainly solve the issue easily regardless of rom/launcher.

RAM size certainly matters to users that need them previously in SGS2 but fail to deliver in SGS3 1GB RAM model
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gjvah:
My phone uses over 1GB quite often, so I can imagine the international version having issues. These problems shouldn't exist though, Android is knows for superb resource management. My guess is, an update from Samsung should fix it for the international version users out there.

pressing "Settings" in Chrome causes it to force, anyone else have this problem?

I have a new Tab 2 7.0.

I installed Chrome browser from the Play Store. When I click on "Settings"

in Chrome's drop-down menu, it forces close the browser. I have tried

uninstalling and re-installing it, but it was still behaving the same way.

When I was at the local Best Buy store, I tried it on their display Tab 2 7.0

and it did the same thing.

If anyone else is experiencing this problem, do you have any idea what

may be causing this?
