The part that I find most interesting is: In Android, processes and Applications are two different things. An app can stay "running" in the background without any processes eating up your phone's resources. Android keeps the app in its memory so it launches more quickly and returns to its prior state. When your phone runs out of memory, Android will automatically start killing tasks on its own, starting with ones that you haven't used in awhile. The problem i (General)

[Q] RAM memory: how much? 34 weeks 2 days ago

Dear members, I've seen that someone asked before how much free memory do you have on your Nexus. I think that this depends ALOT on what rom do you have installed. And when it comes to this subject, I've seen that my memory tends to decrease over time, for example when starting (and killing almost everything) I have between 410 and 460 mb, and in 48 h (without turning off) I see that it decreas

Is there some way to have Ubuntu report what memory all programs are using, when the "out of memory killer" is run in an emergency?

I have a really simple LAMP server running "CMS Made Simple" for a school district website. It was originally configured with 512 megs of memory in a VM.

Why is my oom-killer killing processes instead of freeing pagecches?. oom-killer keeps killing processes even though 2GB (out of 8G) is being used as cache.

Hi, I'd like to use android for multitasking and would like it to keep some apps open in the background constantly, i.e.

Task Killer Question 37 weeks 1 day ago

Maybe that is why people root their phones...?

Thank you,

I have a shell script which sets some variables and then calls modules of a program in succession, one by one. Problem is that the script is executed on servers with many users, so sometimes the script starts running, runs for 10 minutes and then breaks due to lack of resources when other users run memory intensive processes.

Hi I'm wondering how Android is managing memory and I can't find precise answer anywhere. Let's assume I have an application with 5 activities on current activity stack (4 are stopped and 1 is resumed), there is no service connected. I press HOME button so that all of my activities are stopped. I start some other memory consuming application and overall device memory is starting to be low.
