[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johmama:
As posted, let Android manage the RAM. It has become quite the mature operating system over the past few years. It will know when to remove an app from RAM when it needs to free some up.

As a general point of why you basically want less free RAM: RAM uses the same amount of power whether you have 2gb free or 1 byte free. The entire stick is powered on. When you cold-boot an app, it spins up the CPU to do what it needs to do to load it into memory (compile it in the case of a JIT compiler, etc). After you do what you want to do in that app, it's fine to keep in RAM. Again, that RAM is going to either be useful, or sit there empty, doing nothing. The advantage happens when/if you want to access that app in the future. If you offloaded it, the CPU has to spin up again (which uses power) and load it into memory. If it's still in memory, it just looks at the pointers in memory and addresses it. And this is where Android has matured and knows how to handle itself: when you leave all your apps open, open another one, and reach your RAM limit, Android knows which app to offload. I don't know the exact formula, but I'm betting time last accessed is a huge (heck, it could be the only; I simply don't know) factor.

And as [MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] mentioned, this is all assuming normal behavior. If you do actually have a memory leak, that is bad, but you are describing normal RAM usage.

[Xperia Z1 General] meetdaleet:
The 14.1.G.2.257 Firmware is still not "directly" rootable with a tool.

You just have the possibility to downgrade on .534/.518 and use the already posted root instructions.

Either on an OTA Update to 14.1.G.2.257 you will keep rootaccess. To the newest firmware (.290) the OTA Update will not preserve full rootaccess -> only with ULBL you can root the latest one.

But be warned! MAKE AN TA-BACKUP before unlocking the bootloader.

Hi, I'm running stock android currently. A friend tried to transfer an epub file to me over bluetooth after the devices were paired - but my nexus 5 could not receive it at all. I asked some other friends with different android devices to do that, but the same issue persisted. On the other hand, I am able to transfer epub files to other devices just fine. Just to make sure this issue was not limited to my phone, I tried to transfer an epub file to another nexus 5 and it said 'cannot transfer this type of file'. Any thoughts on this issue? Thanks.

MemMaid and SpaceReclaimer both support WM5.0.
[General Questions and Answers] ualvoyager:
Hi Leek, Thanks for the info, however neither of these is what I'm looking for (or at least I think I'm not looking for them). SKTools has a "Free Up RAM" one button operation that literally kills RAM sucking dll's and such and can reclaim up to 2MB of RAM. I have MemMaid and like it a lot but unless someone can point in the right direction if MemMaid can do this I would certainly appreciate the help!!

Thanks!

Try this Smartphone Application, works wonders! :)

http://www.oxios.com/memory/
[General Questions and Answers] leek:
Valk Space Reclaimer is "one-button", in a sense -- you just have to run it, and it can stop all programs, free memory, etc.

MemMaid offers more options, more fine-tuning control, but is also more dangerous if you don't know what you're doing with it :)

Space Reclaimer is easier for novices to use, requires almost no setup, and it can be programmed to automatically exit after running. It can also be programmed to run automatically after soft reset.

I have no idea about the relative effectiveness of these programs. I know they both free up memory, because I've used them successfully, freeing up as much as 3 MB in one run.

I have not tried Oxios Memory, but it doesn't appear that it's been released for WM5 yet (there's an alpha version on the web page).

[General Questions and Answers] farbird:
most memory actually goes into caching windows fonts and last known state...

kinda like when u play text twist or bejewelled and u quit the app [ or so u thought ] and when u do open it again, it will still revert to the last known state...

such cache will take up memory

ie more apps opened and closed, more cache memory..

only way is to reboot the ppc.
[General Questions and Answers] prestonmcafee:
Memmaid 1.72

It is only the new version of memmaid that comes with the "Reclaim RAM" program. It is a separate program that installs with the same CAB. I have run it several times, including when my memory had fallen by about 10MB in spite of the fact that nothing was currently running, and Reclaim RAM said there was no memory to be gained. A soft reset regained the 10MB. So my unscientific impression is that this program does nothing.

Soft resets, on the other hand, do a great job.
[General Questions and Answers] srmz:
You are absolutely right. MemMaid 1.72 free up RAM does nothing on my I-Mate Jasjar no matter how low the program memory has gone.

Maybe they will release a bug fix.

[General Questions and Answers] temparoo:
I can confirm too on a MDA Vario MemMaid v1.72 Reclaim Memory does sweet FA! Zilch! Nothing! Useless non-working feature!
[General Questions and Answers] damac:
Well.... another confirmation....

I've tried oxios memory and memmaid's free up ram feature...

They both are almost same in the result, i.e. sometimes they free up upto 1.5 MB of space and sometimes, nothing.

Even when the memory drops to something like 50% of normal, with no programs running, still these programs don't do anything to warrant their install. Have given up using either as a soft reset works wonders.

P.S. I have a Tmobile MDA compact II (Charmer) and have just two days ago updated the ROM from tmobile website. Seems to work much better and has more RAM too (even with activesync running in background as it usually keeps doing).
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] -SKV-:
I have had a great experience with Hyperion ROM. Recently I installed the expansion pack released for the GM build. After that my wifi is never getting connected(It is always stuck on obtaining ip address) . On page 52 of Hyperion ROM thread the user r25exe listed a solution saying that on installing white 1.3.3 kernel and its wifi driver, the issue would be solved. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. I also checked my system/libs/modules permissions and they were r-w-r-r. Also marcussmith2626 told to replace wpa supplicant. I tried that too, it didn't work. I am totally troubled by this problem. As you can see in the attached image, the wifi symbol always only appears like a shadow( discoloured). Is there any solution to this or will I have to reflash my rom :confused: ?

Hi, I got weird issue on my hand. I activated my Nexus 5 (Google Play) on Ringplus for a month and then cancelled. After a while I tried activating with them again and I couldn't. Called CS and they told me my Nexus 5 needed to be activated on Sprint because of Sprint's Policy. Can they do that even if the phone was bought from Google instead of Sprint itself?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shotta35:
Call them again because that was the case but is NO LONGER. People cried foul and Sprint unblocked the Nexus 5 but other high end phones, HTC One and such are still blocked from MVNOs.

Sprint can do whatever they want especially since it's a CDMA network. They have full control over which device gets on the network.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desudecchi:
I called Sprint's CS and they told me my phone was Blacklisted and I can only use it with them. Is there a way around this? Because that is unfair.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronwi2:
I know this is not the answer you are looking for - but you should just dump Sprint.

I started a thread a while ago about how I had been on Sprint for years, got a Nexus 5, tried a Straight Talk AT&T SIM, and was blown away by how much better the coverage and data was. Also, all of these activation woes go away when you leave Sprint and its MVNOs - you just stick a SIM card in and it works!

You might want to look at the various Tmobile and AT&T MVNOs. If you could state what your needs are (calls and data), I could make a suggestion/recommendation.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desudecchi:
My Bro currently has T-mobile and I might go with him. i found this online: "This puts these newly Blacklisted Devices in what we are calling a “Black Hole” Status when non-Active where Sprint where they will be unusable until manually sent to Sprint’s BYOSD Department to override the errors and manually convert back to Sprint".

I think this is the problem I am currently experiencing with my LG Nexus 5's ESN.

Maybe there will be no more cyanogen releases for this phone but I noticed a strange thing with cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-p999.zip a few weeks ago when I traveled outside of the US and had to put my phone in airplane mode to not get charged for receiving international roaming texts. Anyway, while in airplane mode, the battery level stays unchanged during the day of use on wifi. I have also experienced a lot more lockups while plugged in to charge in this mode. Phone seemed to freeze up over night while plugged in to charge and was warm in the morning with no display or response from buttons. Had to pull battery to get phone to come back to normal. This happened many nights in a row and when not in airplane mode the phone only seemed to lock up once in a few weeks. I can live with infrequent lockups but every night is a bit much. Can anyone duplicate this?

Flaming hot bsod is pretty common bug with this phone. Turn on stay awake while charging under Dev options and maybe that will work.

As an alternative to airplane mode.....Just remove all system apps that use the radio. Make copies of them and move them to your SD card and when you're back in the states push them back to /system with a root privileged file browser.

[Motorola Atrix HD] vite0150:
Hi, in the past couple of days I have tried two 4.4.2 roms (cm 11 and ose)...

On both roms I get the black screen of dead when I woke up in the morning... (when this happens i have to press the volume down and power button to restart the phone)

Is this a common thing on 4.4 or this happens on all the custom roms? (I'm asking because on the rom thread this wasn't listed on the bugs)
[Motorola Atrix HD] jaweinre:
This is not common at least not for CM11.

I've been running CM11 nightlies since they started to roll out, currently running 20/12 without issues.

I would recommend going to recovery, back up, and erase system, data, cache and dalvik, then flashing CM11 nightly to start clean.
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
I've been running CM11 and Validus13 ROMs since they became available and never had this issue.
[Motorola Atrix HD] vite0150:
I used the cm11 12\26 (latest i think).. And did a full wipe (even the internal sd got wiped)...

Something i didn't do was wipe cache and dalvik after flashing the rom, does it is required
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
I don't recall wiping Cache, Dalvik, or Data after installing 4.4 ROMs.
[Motorola Atrix HD] jaweinre:
You should totally clean cache and dalvik when flashing new roms (CM usually does this by itself anyways). Make sure you're cleaning these, won't hurt at all anyways.
[Motorola Atrix HD] vite0150:
Ok, make a factory reset after flashing... Also i see in some roms that i gotta mount system and other things, i never did that (i didn't saw that in the instructions of the two roms that I've tried...)

Also I used for this couple of days the stock rom just to check that it wasn't a hardware problem... worked flawless...

Right now i'll try valadus... I'll let you know how it goes

Update: valadus gave me a lot of errors... Something like it couldn't write on storage/cwm... And when it was aborted it says that cache can't be mounted... So i ended up installing cm11 (the same that i flashed before)
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
You're running the latest CWM or Philz recovery?
[Motorola Atrix HD] vite0150:
Philz
[Motorola Atrix HD] audit13:
It's strange because I'm running the latest CWM and I can install the latest Validus13, Cyanfox, CM11, and Probam without a problem.
[Motorola Atrix HD] vite0150:
Flashed probam last night, and it survived the night! Only thing I changed from before was wiping again after flashing...

Thanks for ur help

Update:

In the morning i connected the phone to the charger, and now i went to see if it was fully charged and surprise!!! It happened again!

Maybe is the charger cause I'm using a generic, but why it doesn't happen on stock rom?

At this moment i will just leave it stock and put it for sale, don't want to keep dealing with this...
