How To Fix Note 4 Low Ram Managememt & Optimize Recent Menu

Despite the fact that Samsung Galaxy Note 4 comes with 3 GB Internet, it still suffers from low RAM memory and the Recent Menu has never been fast as it should be because 3 GB of RAM are too much for a smartphone.

At first the RAM management issue was noticed in Samsung Galaxy S6 and after it many Note 4 users are complaining about RAM issues. Things were getting worse with the Lollipop update which seems not to make the phone run smoothly but instead of it the Note 4 users noticed various issues where the most important are low RAM Management and the Recent Menu needs to be optimized because it’s very slow.

There were rumors that an update will fix RAM Management issues and make the Recent Menu faster. This rumours were confirmed when the Russian version of Note 4 received a Lollipop 5.1.1 update which seems to fix optimize Recent Menu and fix the low RAM Management. The update will be also available for other version also but it will need a long time so you don’t wanna wait for the update to start rolling out on your country.

We saw before that RAM Management issue on Galaxy S6 was fixed by editing the build.prop file. It was a simple method and anyone can do that. This way of fixing the low RAM Management turns out to be ported even on Galaxy Note 4 and you will have the same effect plus some extra optimizations. So even thought Samsung haven’t optimized the Lollipop 5.0 Touchwiz version for the Note 4, you can do it by yourself simply by editing build.prop file.

If you have already seen how the process was made on Galaxy S6 than probably it should not be so difficult for you. All you need to do is to root your phone first and them download your favourite File Manager with Root access from the download section below.
