S6 Edge Using Too Much RAM

[ToniBamboni]

With just CCleaner open, my s6 edge is using 2.21/2.62 Gb of wam. Wtf

80% use is normal for an S6. Nothing is broken/wrong with it. "Unused RAM is wasted RAM"

Android doesn't run the way windows does. It uses an ART runtime which keeps all your most used apps loaded in the RAM. Your phone would actually be slower if less RAM was used.

 

These cleaner apps are just praying on people's ignorance for ad revenue.

If it's not affecting your performance, why do you care? It's caching.

So uninstall

So uninstall

It depends. The function to delete cached data from apps can be useful in clearing up storage space. Otherwise, never close your apps or use RAM cleaners.

Yup and other ROM's that dont show high RAM usage on android are simply opting to not show cached RAM.

Android phones whore up RAM.

 

And it seems like Samsung phones REALLY do. Like my SIII idles around 500MB, but then my Avant with the newer TouchWiz (that I don't even use), idles around 900MB-1GB. But yet, my dad's G4 idles a little higher than what my SIII does.

I'm always sitting at 2.25/2.72 on my Note 4 with Emporia rom installed.
