If we are talking about RAM (as opposed to internal storage), well, Android kills processes and frees memory as needed. If it's having trouble doing that on your phone, perhaps something is interfering? Perhaps it's the task killer, as weird as that would sound? Perhaps there is some kind of weird interaction with the development process (repeated reinstalls, etc.).

If we're talking about internal storage, perhaps there is an application that aggressively fills up storage with something? You could try and find out if that's the case by using Android's built-in Settings | Applications screen, which reports internal storage amounts used by applications.

Too many perhapses, perhaps, but perhaps they're worth checking out?

Hm,

That sucks about ATK not working very good for you.... I can't remember the last time I turned my phone off because of memory issues... Maybe someone else can give some suggestions on that.

Hi

its 220 mb after 48 hrs. By the end of 5-6 days its down to 80mb and then the phone starts to hang frequently.Advanced Task killer doesn't help much. I did consider ebay but in India sometimes the used goods turn out to be barely working.

If you could suggest a good android phone running atleast froyo for less than Rs. 15000 I would be happy. Any suggestions to speed my current phone up are welcome to.

That's not a huge issue... You still have 220mb avail for running apps... my original droid usually runs with 64mb free and I don't notice any issues.... If you are worried about the ram have you tried ATK(Advanced Task Killer)? I love it personally and it does a great job at keeping things running especially if you set up the auto-kill feature every hour or so....

Have you considered buying a used phone off ebay? I don't know how it works in india but that would be all I could suggest on possibly finding a good price on another phone.

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. I would love a Nexus phone but I am 13 years old and in india its a little expensive for me. My optimus works fine except it has started losing RAM very fast. When I switch it on there is 340 mb free but within 48 hours its down to 220mb. Any other phones you can suggest?

Thanks

I have phones with AT&T and you can use them to develop with. As long as you push your app via Eclipse... or Whats it... ADB that eclipse automates for you... What you CAN NOT do is copy the app to your sd card and install it that way.

Raghav,

All devices work for development use except those on AT&T because they disable to option to allow sideloading of apps. I personally still user a Nexus One as my developers phone since it's pure Google and it is "supposed" to get updates faster.

Hi,

I was thinking of buying a new phone for development and zeroed in on Samsung Galaxy Pro B7510 <http://www.samsung.com/in/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/smartphone/GT-B7510LKAINU/index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail>. I wanted to know if this is a good choice and if any of you have used it how is it? Also will it be better than my current Optimus P500?

Thanks in advance
