Hi,

I have recently downloaded:
System Activity monitor
and
Scan Lite app

For those who are not aware, the main purpose of the apps is for displaying memory usage.

The problem is that both show approximately 250mb ram for my iphone4-16GB,
(the figure was acquired after adding: free, wired, active and inactive RAM values together.)

Does anyone else have the same problem?
Is it an app problem or even worse a fried ram chip ?

Thanks
 
But doesn't the iPhone 4 have 512MB of RAM? Wouldn't it have more free RAM?

Unless you're running a bunch of apps....

Maybe the apps somehow can't see the 512 when displaying the free amount or something?
 
So 370mb is it normal after a reboot?

Does anyone know if (free + wired + active + inactive) = should have been 512mb?
 
Chill dude, 350ish is normal after a reboot.


Use sbsettings for more accuracy. I use system just to see running processes, not to determine your total ram???
 
I have downloaded them just of curiosity to see how much ram & cpu each app consumes but both apps fail on displaying that, they just display the total used ram & cpu
 
Hi, I had the same issue earlier and thought I had a fried chip as well, but turns out the RAM is there, you just need to kill off all apps that are left in the background (double-tap the home button, hold one of the app icons til it jiggles then tap the badge on the top left corners of the icons), then run Activity Monitor again.. The total memory should add up to 500+ MB. Hope this helps :)
