LOW RAM problem , Apps keeps restarting , phone lags

ever since i got my new xperia z1 , i keep getting this problem:

-> after using the phone for 5 hours i realize the phone lags and pressing "back button" doesnt go back , so i have to use the home button to go to home , then i checked settings and went to Apps > Running , i see i only have like 100ram left en all the apps says " RESTARTING " and it stays that way, doesnt change [CHECK SCREENSHOT].

Only way to fix this is by Restarting the phone , then after turning it on , everything seems to be normal [800mb ram left] [apps counting time] , BUT AFTER using for like a few HOURS the same THING HAPPENDS again , and it keeps happening.

So ends up restarting the phone for like 5 times a  day , this isnt normal.

Is there anyway to fix this ? or is it a bug? pls help/reply

Hi carlli93

     this is the common issue most of phone users talked about, when you use any apps, there might be many background process or apps will be running, you can do few steps as me , since i do same for my phone, it works superb Slightly_smiling_Face

>you can stop unwanted apps running on the background process by killing it,

    settings -> apps -> running -> tap on the apps like, gtalk, whatsapp(if you are not using it), dont stop the buildin apps came along with Sony

>you can install app AppmgrIII which helps in saving the size on phone, which might help you

>if possible try to shutdown many processes at the background , until and unless you really needed it

>when you update any apps then check whether that update is necessary for you or not , if not then dont update it, just skip it

>if you are not using any app always, then uninstall the app or atleast uninstall the update of that, it will save some memory and Ram

let us know

uninstall any taskillers, taskmanager and/or antivirus > restart your phone and check again

Me too. RAM of my Xperia Z1 is very low than my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.

Play Minion Rush is lag.

This screenshots is taken while the phone and tablet is idle

@carlli93,

Boot your phone into Safe Mode and check if the problem still persists.

Only 100 MB of RAM after 5 hours of active use of the phone does not sound logical.

Of problem still persist on safe mode you can try software repair by sus

Also as I see in that pic I see you have many messenger apps.. They will consume more and more ram after times

i had the same problem; I thought was my antivirus, some aplications as a k9mail, etc. but my really problem was CHROME !!! because i used facebook app (facebook needs a lot of ram) + CHROME, but i only uninstalled CHROME completly and i don't have the problem anymore! i recomend use DOLPHIN BROWSER !!!! is better and light
