This is obviously yet to be fixed by Google. But I believe this is a bit fixed in 5.1. Earlier after using for 2-3 days some of apps used to take a bit to time to start or respond. But that thing seems to be fixed now. Now I don't face that issue. A simple restart just fixes the issue though.

I don't use Samsung because of the heavy bloated and laggy ui and I don't use iPhone because I hate iOS the only real thing was Nexus and finally I lost my hope for it too because the most powerful company in the world is behind it and they don't even bother to fix a known bug. Damn you Google.
[Nexus 5 General] Morganmachine91:
Just wanted to come here and say that after a factory reset and flash of the 5.1 image, I'm having no memory leak problems and my phone is running like a dream... I suspect some of the problems people are having are bugs in apps or whatever kernel they're using... I could be wrong though. If it is a problem with stock AOSP, I don't get why everyone isn't experiencing it.
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
I don't have memory leak problem as well.
[Nexus 5 General] DummyPLUG:
No matter have experience the memory leak or not, it is a bug acknowledge by google and fixed internally, this is a fact.
[Nexus 5 General] markdapimp:
Correct, Google acknowledged it so it must be true.
[Nexus 5 General] alen1901:
Google fixed bunch of memory leaks in 5.1 but some are still there. Before i had to reboot after 3,4 days of usage and now with 5.1 all good after 3,4 days, it takes longer to fill up RAM. I also noticed that on stock rom/kernel 5.1 ram management is somehow better then on custom aosp rom/kernel, at least for me.

Root, anyone?
[Nexus 5 General] RossFixxed:
The S6 looks really nice. I had a very quick go of it, and the unit is lovely to hold and use. The Touchwiz is nicer, but it is a bit 'non android' looking with its icons etc. As said though, that can all be solved by rooting. The bolatware can be removed to a higher degree than previous Samsung devices. I got the overall impression that they are transitioning to Tizen OS and away from Android and this device is the first real step in that direction with its Tizen-like UI.

How does this post fit in this thread? Does it have a memory leak?

Sent from Hammerhead!
[Nexus 5 General] RossFixxed:
Apologies, was trying to improve the hostile tone in here. Checking other devices when they get 5.1 is no bad idea, but I'll keep things OT.

Real world usage, I've yet to see any impact from this leak, though I've only swapped to my n5 as my fault driver recently.
[Nexus 5 General] jlmcr87:
Congratulations for your galaxy s6 adquisition. Only nexus have memory leak. Oems patch usually patch this issues for their phones.
[Nexus 5 General] dan1431:
It is my understanding that certain OEMs patch Android AOSP issues while others patch their own issues but wait for Google to patch AOSP Android.

However, I do not know which do which, but it seems that Moto waits for Google as they basically use AOSP Android, as my Moto X Pure Edition does have the Memory leak.

My nexus 5 has been up for 40 hours right now, free ram hasn't dropped below 0.95GB since the 24 hour mark. Booted with 1.2GB free. Without a doubt LM47I minimized those leaks. I can't believe it :D
[Nexus 5 General] californicated:
Did you try LM47D before? My N5 is at 235 h uptime with no issues.
[Nexus 5 General] bwoodfield:
On average I'm getting 10-15 crashes a day, sometimes as little as 30 minutes between. I just rebooted from a crash, went into background processes and immediate see the memory usage climb from ~350mb to 659mb, and increasing at a slow rate (now up to 677). I've done a factory reset on it with no effect other than having to reset-up my phone. I currently have LMY47D installed. (up to 684 now).
[Nexus 5 General] californicated:
Must be some rogue app. FB messenger or some sh*t like that? Remove everything you don't need. Later you can install app by app until the leak comes back.
[Nexus 5 General] bwoodfield:
I only have the stock apps running after the factory reset, since thought it might be something like that. So I started running through the "all apps" and disabling the one that are crap (to me) like the Google Fit, Movies, Magazines, Music, etc. What I found interesting was I had 6 other language input types running (Hindi, Spanish, Thai, etc) all using around 40-50 mb data. I cleared and disabled them along with the unwanted apps. we'll see if that corrects the issue. My background processes are down to 616MB of ram with another 292 cached.
[Nexus 5 General] californicated:
The last chance would be flashing latest factory image lmy47i. Not because it contains some awesome fixes, but to be sure it wasn't a bad flash.

I use to be able to have Linux servers online for years without rebooting, and this was in the 90's
[Nexus 5 General] MrObvious:
I saw one up for 7 years. I should state the Ethernet interfaces were up for 7 years. It wasn't quite a Linux device but a server and was fairly recent when I saw that. But yes Android should have that kind of stability I think too
[Nexus 5 General] AndrasLOHF:
I think it's a bit ridiculous that people are expecting it to be commonplace to have to reboot your phone every so often to keep it running correctly. It absolutely is not. This is an issue that Google introduced with Lollipop and has yet to be completely fixed.
[Nexus 5 General] dan1431:
Granted, I restart my phone every day, but I do experience the memory leak, but not as bad as others around here, so I am not entirely sure that restarting is the entire answer.

Google will have to release an update to really fix the issue instead of just workarounds to make the issue tolerable.

[Nexus 5 General] donwhall70:
Am I the only one who actually uses my device as it was intended?

People seem to spend all their time looking up SOT, searching for wake locks, and searching for memory leaks, etc then complaining that their battery doesn't last long after they have wasted it obsessing over trivial things.

It's almost as if they are just looking for things to complain about instead of enjoying their devices.
[Nexus 5 General] pfmiller:
I use my phone for communicating with people and browsing the web. I only complain about the memory leak when my phone stops working right. That hardly seems unreasonable to me.
[Nexus 5 General] californicated:
Edit: Wrong thread
[Nexus 5 General] DummyPLUG:
The memory leaks is very annoying as it can force the app restart or even app crash.
[Nexus 5 General] RossFixxed:
Can someone explain this to me? Is there one memory leak, or a series of small leaks that are adding up to slow down the device? I have never experienced this issue on my device, and I'm wondering if a combination of apps, or user behaviour is triggering it.
[Nexus 5 General] rolldroids:
Yesterday I wanted to copy a link from Firefox and post it in a forum. So I switched to Firefox and then back to tapatalk, and guess what happened? My n9 cant even cache one single app. And starting an app sometimes takes about 5 seconds. I have not got a n9 only, but a n4 and n7 1st and 2nd, also. They all can be used normally, but not the n9. It is just impossible to use it as intended, believe me.
[Nexus 5 General] donwhall70:
Think you all misunderstood the meaning of my post. There are certain people who just constantly complain. As soon as one thing is fixed, they are posting about something else and then something else and so on. I get the impression at times that they are just hunting down things to complain about because they are never happy. Personally, I reboot my N5 on 5.1 every couple weeks just because it is good to do so.. Not because of degraded performance. Not saying that nobody here is having memory issues, but once something is planted in peoples heads, it usually stays planted there until the next big explanation rears its head.
[Nexus 5 General] rhplusa10:
This happens depending on the roms.

some of roms last longer without the memory leak issue, but some of them are serious.

worst case, I had to reboot my phone every couple of hours.

It happens on not only 5.0.2 but also 5.1.

now I use 4.4.4 rom, very happy with it. I will wait for 5.1.1 or 5.2 for resolved this issue.
[Nexus 5 General] notfaded1:
Geesh

Wow I thought I was ready to do clean wipe and factory install 5.1 finally but you guys have convinced me to stay on 4.4.4! I had hoped 5.1 fixed all of the earlier 5.0.x problems but maybe not o.O!
[Nexus 5 General] RossFixxed:
I have no issues whatsoever on 5.1 for what it's worth. I do reboot it every few days though, for the sake of the ten seconds it takes... Just to give you an alternative perspective.
[Nexus 5 General] DummyPLUG:
I also have no issue at all, just use tasker to restart my phone everyday, it won't hurt to take just few second to reboot, launcher restart and app crash can be easily avoid if I don't use my phone too much.

That's must be the reason why google fix it but don't release it, cause you can just restart the phone as a work around.
[Nexus 5 General] TonyHoyle:
I can't imagine rebooting my phone routinely.. It's not Windows 95! I've never had the issue, although I'm interested in finding out what the cause is.. if it was particular apps those would have been identified by now I'd think (prime candidate would be facebook, which I don't use, but I've heard of others that don't use it having the issue) - but what actually triggers it is unknown, which of course is why it's so hard to fix..

[Nexus 5 General] Blueyedevil:
First of all : I'm not really what you could call a power user. Most likely a very light user of my N5. Have just a few apps installed (under 10), no games, no FB, no bs. Had no issue with the phone itself so far.

But as far as this "memory leak" goes I can tell you this: every user can encounter it and is really annoying. Do this simple thing : go to Gallery (or whatever is called these days), open one of your pictures (I have gathered quite a few on my phone during a year of use) and just start flipping through your pictures (go left or right it doesn't really matter). After you view a bunch of them (didn't bother to count) you will notice the phone becomes more and more unresponsive till the point where you just can't do anything. Period. It will stop responding completly for 20-30 seconds or even more. Once I had to reset it by power button.

If that is normal behaviour for a Nexus, then you live in a fantasy world...
[Nexus 5 General] MrKaon:
I'm not denying memory leak as I have it myself :

But gallery no way, what app are you using to browse pictures?

I recommend this one and it fast, the fastest of all :

I just use the default app called "Photos". Always used the default app on my Nexus'es, never had any problem till 5.x. Having to install a separate app (which I have to allow it to access all my files) just to do a simple task seems like something I shouldn't have to.

Thanks so much

The camera sensor 'Sony IMX179' used in the Moto G 2014 is the same as in LG Nexus 5.

As Nexus 5 has Snapdragon 800 and IMX179 sensor enclosed in a special rig it has Optical Image Stabilization. (OIS).

IMX179 is capable of shooting 1080p videos at 30fps & Snapdragon 400 (MSM8226) used in Moto G 2014 is fully capable of processing FHD 1080p video and has FHD encoder support.

Specifications

Type : Active Pixel CMOS

Pixel Size : 1.4 µm

Type : 1/3.2”

Effective Pixels : 8.08MP

Max FPS : 30

Aperture : f/2.0

Focal Length : 27mm

Also Google introduced 1 new API Lollipop onwards for Camera called Camera 2.0 API (android.hardware.camera2) that enables the device fully utilize the hardware and software & a complete manual control on the post-processing features of the image. Nexus 6 and Nexus 5 have Camera 2.0 API implemented in their stock ROMs.

The features that can be controlled using Camera 2.0 API to give far more superior quality images as compared to auto-mode.

Exposure time

ISO Sensitivity

Frame duration

Lens focus distance

Flash trigger

Color correction matrix

JPEG metadata

Tonemap curve

Crop region

AE / AF / AWB mode

AE / AWB lock

AF trigger

Precapture AE trigger

Metering regions

Exposure compensation

Target FPS range

Capture intent

Video stabilization

Motorola too was lazy to upgrade the phone software to enable FHD video recording and introduce Camera 2.0 API. It seems Camera 2.0 needs hardware support as well, will have to confirm it from reliable sources.

I have mailed Motorola of this issue, but still its has been 1 week 3 weeks, still no reply from them.

Hope this information is useful.
[G 2014 General] anterus:
Thank you, this is interesting to know. Can you please confirm how did you come by this information, did you take apart your Moto G 2014, do you know if all variants of Moto G 2014 use the same camera? Can we update phone software - e.g. by using custom Sony Binaries/drivers in the custom built CM12?
[G 2014 General] prathameshsd:
Source : http://www.techspot.com/review/888-motorola-moto-g-2014/page1.html :fingers-crossed:

IMO, All the variants of Moto G 2014 use the same IMX179. And you cannot update the phone software by using Sony's Binaries, they are device specific. :)

Meanwhile I have mailed Motorola about the same, I am now waiting for their reply :p
[G 2014 General] P.Fan:
So i wonder what motorola is going to say about this:p
[G 2014 General] code65536:
Just because the sensor is the same doesn't mean the camera module is. In fact, the G has different lenses than the N5 (different aperture sizes, too).

Also, I doubt Motorola was "too lazy" to enable 1080p recording. It's far more likely that this was a deliberate decision to prevent the G from cannibalizing their sales of higher-end models too much.
[G 2014 General] Deleted member 4251708:
Interesting so does that mean that a dev could implement 1080p recording?
[G 2014 General] sky0165:
It's just apperture and lens. That doesn't change the fact they share the same camera module. IMX is the same for all phones.
[G 2014 General] aditya.upadhyaya:
Technically yes.
[G 2014 General] sky0165:
Even Camera API v2.
[G 2014 General] fgl27:
I use the attached file to change the profiles of video resolution support.

Use the one from N5, it enable the option 1080p recording, but if i try to record a video it does not, it start and end in one second. when I check the 1 second recorded video is only 720p :silly:, I tested Moto camera, and google camera same result.

The name of the file is only ''media_profiles.xml'' i rename to know... to flash i flash with original name ''media_profiles.xml'' and put it on system/etc...

Of course that would not be so easy.

But is a start... :D enjoying the thread :good:
[G 2014 General] sky0165:
The drivers doesn't know what "1080p" means so it sticks with 720p.
[G 2014 General] aditya.upadhyaya:
That gave me a brilliant plan. This is the right way of thinking. If possible, can someone use camera.msm8226.so (system/lib/hw/) from a 1080p enabled MSM 8226 chipset and try the same? A couple of Chinese phones and a Sony Xperia phone (don't know in which) has this.

Warning - this could screw the phone up. Backup and reflashing ROM will be necessary.

---------- Post added at 04:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 AM ----------

media_profiles.xml is a file that lets the OS know what types of encoders and decoders are present, & also usable for the device. By using one from Nexus 5, its letting the our OS know that 1080p HD is available, but when you open the camera, it doesn't have the library driver files to do so., & thus my post above. By getting driver file, it should technically have the capability to record, but if its also kernel related, the kernel also needs to be patched in accordance. But in the mean time, let's take this step by step.

Also, i dont think Motorola's gonna answer. :P
[G 2014 General] sky0165:
I believe this task is a little more deeper than just replacing files. I think we would need a proper kernel, since it's the bridge between hardware and software to make the current system "speak" with the new files. Because if system request something that was declared differently or wasn't declared with the replaced drivers/libs camera would stop working.

I think lib/hw is the real module blobs, vendor/hw it's the Camera HAL.
[G 2014 General] aditya.upadhyaya:
Okay, that's a decent explanation.

With that, we require Camera HAL of a Lollipop based MSM8226 chipset, preferably by Motorola. But, Moto G & G2 are d only known Lollipop Snapdragon 400 phones. :D

Can someone send me the .so file for lib/hw/ ? And if possible send me d HAL file of any MSM8226 phone? I want to test it anyways. No harm in doing that, right?
[G 2014 General] sky0165:
I don't think it's like that.

I think first we need N5 camera blobs and probably some reverse-engineering to make the files "fit" on G. These blobs are what makes the module turn on, focus, etc. Here, we're speaking on Hardware level.

The last thing is Software level, which is HAL. APP requests to HAL that requests to CAMERA.

Don't know if this is right.
[G 2014 General] aditya.upadhyaya:
Hmmm... Yeah. That's also there.
[G 2014 General] prathameshsd:
Okay guys so here is the update ;)

I mailed the Motorola regarding this issue on 13th March, 2015, They assured that the mail will be replied within 24 hours.

Today is 17th March, 2014. Its been 3 days, still no reply from their side. :p
[G 2014 General] raju sesharaj:
May be a bad news for some!!

I read a news article from GSMArena where it stated that even Samsung didn't implement all features of Camera API 2.0 in their Samsung S6 and S6 Edge. Considering it is a recent flagship and has more than enough oomph and still not given the benefits of Lollipop API's i seriously doubt Moto will do anything for Moto G. Moto X 2014 might have a chance and Moto X 2015 will have it more or less. Unless Moto releases resources for implementing Camera API or someone comes with a open driver solution or some dev creates a hack to enable the settings by Xposed i seriously doubt this will ever happen. My post may feel negative but its the reality as far as i think. Anyway lets hope:crying::confused:

---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------

[G 2014 General] BlackScout:
To be honest, if we can do it, not a big problem insert it into CM and done =)

By the way, is there a way to modify drivers and make the software take movies at 60FPS (Since the Slow Mode is at 60FPS, but divided by 4 that gets 15FPS)
[G 2014 General] sky0165:
Well, S6 is still to be launched. I believe the software they're running isn't 100% finished and polished, just like M9. Wait April 10, probably they'll add it on day 1 or some weeks later.
[G 2014 General] aditya.upadhyaya:
Kernel Issue confirmed.

I found out that Moto X has the 1080p vendor libs. I pulled all the IMX179 files and tried just for the sake of it.

No surprise, it doesn't work.

Turns out, it doesn't even find the device (camera 0. camera 1, camera 2.... Device not found). And there were some errors in the kernel memory allocation for the camera (mm-vfe and others). The kernel HAS to be patched. And since stock kernel sources aren't out for Lollipop, that is a problem.
