stock LH1 rom. kernel also stock

i think the prob is that when choosing vibrate/mute, ringtone (calls) is indeed muted

but notifications are not muted, so when messages come it will still sound

Clearing the list doesn't do anything unless the apps are open. It's not going to clear cached processes or stuff like that.

Erm... True and maybe not exactly accurate either.

Free ram is advantageous of course.. Cause if you have NO RAM available, how will you run apps? Sensibly, you need free RAM to open up new apps(without killing applications you want left open).

True in the sense that android really does manage open applications and RAM well enough for daily basic usage. Most cases, people don't even know about this 'clearing RAM' and they use the phone without any problems. They don't close apps properly and the phone still functions without a problem. That's the average user. In fact, if you're running regular apps like messaging or Internet, you shouldn't be facing any FCs due to RAM issues.

How they govern priority to open apps in default is good enough for most users. We know we can change this, but leaving it as it is should be very reliable in most cases.

However, if no apps are open, and you are 100% confident that you have NO running apps in the background, then RAM usage should be low. If you are seeing around 680-700++ RAM usage with absolutely nothing open, then something really spooky is going on. SII used to hover at about 400 with nothing open. SIII hovers 550+ with nothing open.

Remember, I see quite a few people rebooting their phone and checking their RAM and showing a high amount of RAM usage and saying that it's so high even without apps open. Dudes, remember, on a fresh reboot... Myriads of apps are running. Wait for a while.. Maybe like 15 minutes or more and then check your RAM. things like media scanner, download manager, and many others are running on a fresh boot.

wow more expensive than me @@

ya crazy one
if lowyat near your house just go there buy, viewnet shop (3rd floor) beside ALL IT

i did another testing just now. confirmed notifications and media are unaffected by the vibrate / mute toggles.

calls and system sounds are silenced


take a look at the icons. this is under normal profile




then this is after selecting vibrate profile.

It's always around 600+ if you're on stock rom. All used for core apps cache. If you want to reduce it..root and freeze or un-install un-wanted pre-installed (bloatwarez) apps from your phone.

the beep is it your notification tone? if got any sound eg : beep means not silenced edi. since silence means no sound at all, only vibrations

Hi.

I'm having trouble connecting my S3 with my laptop. I've already installed the USB Driver and it should be installed correctly coz I managed to flash my firmware using ODIN.

However when I try connecting my S3 to my laptop using USB cable I can't seem to see the phone or SD card in My Computer. Also when I open up the device manager the driver for Samsung has a yellow exclamation mark on it.

Any idea what's wrong? Appreciate all sifu's help

try plug on other usb port

Hye guys..just wondering whether u guys found any pro or cons of the latest 34mb update? So far only difference i read was browser and caller icon..anything else? Coz bit weird Samsung Msia release the update quite short prd btw this and last round (70mb+)
Thanx a bunch!

then very weird edi.

i tried both vibrate and mute profile, message tone still sound.

What waveweaver advised is true. I can't advise much if you're on stock cause.... I think I was on stock for like... 2 days? So I can't remember how the RAM management was like for stock. If I clear RAM in my setup, it goes to 400++ and then. Creeps back up to about 500++.

I know many things are hovering in the background.
Line
Whatsapp
Skype
Viber
Allshare
Facebook
Swiftkey
Nova launcher

I think those are the ones that I can remember that do take up a lot of RAM that I 'could' uninstall but of course I wouldn't.

Well, still, ics does use more ram compared to gb

Here my screenshot when using mute via pull down. Quite differ then yours..!?


Attached thumbnail(s)

Already tried on all the available ports on my laptop. Has the same issue.
But if it was a problem with the USB port, I wouldn't have managed to flash ODIN right?

Don't you connect via USB cable to flash with Odin?

eh wtf.....why my notification never show that way

Yes I did. That's why I was wondering how come I managed to flash with ODIN using USB cable but I can't detect/ transfer files to-from laptop to S3 using the cable.
I can't even see the phone or SD card folders in My Computer.
