Re: please help! about a problem my nexus 10

I doubt if you have a hardware or software problem at all. Is your tablet running perceptively slower than before the upgrade, are apps running differently or not at all, etc.? Or, are you just curious as to how the device uses memory and wondering why the new release seems to be using more RAM?

My free RAM always looks low (22% - 25% or so) when I check it via the Memory Booster app, but the tablet runs just fine. And, I have the 4.2.2 upgrade on it.

From what I've read, the Nexus seems to do a pretty smart job of memory management. However, if you remain concerned about your memory usage, or if your machine is actually showing degraded performance, there are numerous threads out there that talk about finding "bad" apps, uninstalling unused apps, disabling the frequent "syncs" and / or autostart of apps, and other tricks to maximize your memory performance. You can Google around and find them. It's probably a good idea to do some some of the common sense stuff that people recommend. But, keep in mind the fact that performing periodic maintenance does not equate to there being a hardware or software problem with your tablet, any more than changing the oil in your car or inflating the tires means that the vehicle is defective.

Also, what you shouldn't do is waste your time using task killer apps. I know at least 1 person will tell you to do so but they do more harm than good.

This has been popping up all over. Which is a good thing. in this case the available ram reduction is in fact a feature. More ram is being reserved for the GPU. Android does a very good job in managing ram so as previously mentioned, task killer apps are unnecessary on the most part.

I tried to find the post discussing this somewhere on this site but couldn't find it. Don't worry about it! It's actually a good thing to be using a lot of RAM.

but the bad thing is when the ram of my nexus 10 in a low level, i play a game and listen to music,it will force stop the music app,
only restart can return to normal and then just a day the ram of my nexus 10 starting getting low again
it will happen forever! i think

just two app are running , the another app running in background will force stop!!!

 

[y2whisper]

What's the specific app? I will try to replicate.

 

[paintdrinkingpete]

Yes, it's more likely the app(s) that are the problem, not 4.2.2 or the idle RAM use.

 

[cho138]

when the ram in a low level, i can't run two more apps , this is no specific
i think it is because the ram not enough to run more apps
i don't know how to solve it , it always happen i am confuse with it
and i also find some small problem
one is the time always not accurate
the other one is when my nexus 10 is charging , using the earphone have some noise in the background (only during 80% - 100%)
Do i need to return it?

Sounds a bit weird, I only say this because I haven't seen it myself or anyone else with the problem. I will try to run some games (NFS etc) and see how it all gets handled.

I think this might help a little.
As the OP said, the nexus 10 has 2GB of ram.
Take a look as to how much android sees.....

Yeah... No way near 2gb.
(Bonus note: those apps shown are all there is... And I still get fc's, especially when listening to Google music + using just chrome)

Can you please go to Settings>>Apps and then swipe to the to the left to show running apps and then create a screenshot.

I have never experienced what you have and there has to be something with how you are using the tablet. Atleast that will show us what you have running on the tablet.
