Does your Smartphone crash, hang & restart?




  Most smartphones still have a less RAM memory which is the major reason why your phone crash, hang or restart in the middle of using some applications, especially surfing the net. Every time you open an application with your mobile phone the lesser your RAM memory it becomes, so the more applications you open the more your RAM memory gets lesser and when it really becomes lesser, shall we say the RAM is under 5% out of it’s total memory by running more applications makes the phone normally crash, hang and even restart.  Normally an average smartphones has 60 to 80 available RAM memory left depending on how many applications are installed in your phone which consist of the built in applications, applications you installed(games included) and hidden applications(aps you may not see it in your normal file browsers) every time you turn it on.  Because the home screen, menu screen and  the notification apps automatically runs and that also consumes your RAM memory. That is why your phone is left with at least 60 to 80% of it’s total RAM memory depending also on  the built in RAM of your phone.
   
   I said especially surfing the net because internet browsers as an application consumes more RAM memory because of the contents of some sites really demands more RAM memory. RECOMMENDATION: Avoid running several applications at one time to keep more RAM Memory available and also you can download and install RAM Memory applications which keeps the  Memory UP and prevent your phone from hanging, crashing or restarting.  Also you install a software wherein it let’s you monitor how much RAM Memory left to keep you aware when your phone is running out of RAM.  To keep you aware of how many applications running in the background, and lets you end some applications running. Here are the softwares which I am using with my phone, Memory up, RAMblow also you can try Swiss manager to augment your protection from crashing, hanging and restarting. NOTE:   If there are really times wherein you were not able to monitor the RAM Memory and it reaches already to a low memory and did make your phone stop responding, by that time you need to really manually restart your phone to let your phone recover from low RAM memory.  But constantly restarting your phone will wear down the battery life, thus you really have to follow my Recommendations above, which is based on my personal encounter with Smartphones.
