i hope that those two bars under wifi signals can be seen easily .
i dont remember what's the name of it but after using it for like two weeks what i have realized that the bar on the left shows the ram usage but not sure .
and my question is what do the second bar show ?

Re: information needed
 

It's called cpumem-applet.

Left-hand bar = CPU usage. Right-hand = Memory

Re: information needed
 

ammmmm but what kinda memory ?
and i have noticed another thing that when the memory bar was showing one cube my phone was perfect and when it increased to two cubes i have found my cell acting as if it is under some load .
can you tell me which memor it is ?
so i can remove unwanted memory .

Re: information needed
 

It measures RAM (the volatile type), as opposed to the permanent storage memory (the non-volatile type).

Re: information needed
 

a bit creepy to read :$
can you be more simple please ? :P

Re: information needed
 

More simple? OK - try this...

google

Re: information needed
 

AFAIK it shows the used memory as a percentage of the total memory (RAM + swap).

Re: information needed
 

Interesting. I always new they were there and never knew what they were for.

Re: information needed
 

How much more simple can you get?

Re: information needed
 

You lot are not exactly being very helpfull to someone who needs a proper explanation !.

This community stands for a lot more than answers like....

More simple? OK - try this...

google

Not very friendly is it !.

Re: information needed
 

ok then, YOU take the time to write a mentalist traceur style essay on what RAM is so this person can ignore it and ask further dumb questions.

The first thing I do when somone uses a term or refers to a mechanism that I don't know is quickly look it up. If the guy was asking somthing REALLY complex like some specific differances between ARM assembler and THUMB code that was not really explained anywhere obviously then maybe you would have place to speak. However he was asking what RAM is.

RAM.

****ing RAM.

Basic computer principle 101.


1. He could have found out faster by typing RAM into the search bar (a net search engine) and ggotten a result far faster than he has spent being insulted here by Jedi and I for being such a recalcitrant noob.

2. STFU abill_troll.

Re: information needed
 

And you consider your post to be helpful then?

Seriously, a quick google for a couple of minutes can answer this question far better than I could put into words. I don't have much time for people who expect to be spoon-fed information just because they can't be bothered to engage brain and try and help themselves.

Re: information needed
 

@ vi_ Your just a trouble maker it is very obvious, and obviously dont like the truth pointed out to you mr knowitall !!!.

Re: information needed
 

I guess this forum is changing now for the worst, probably due to the bad treatment from Nokia.

Re: information needed
 

I remarked on the comments left for the OP and was suprised to see patience is at an all time low now on this forum.

I can remember the days not so long back when people were a lot more giving on this forum..... oh well sigh.

Re: information needed
 

lol RAM!!!! schadouche lol
+1 Vi_
-1 abill

Re: information needed
 

And yet you still haven't contributed any help whatsoever to the OP's question.

As I've already stated, spoon-feeding does not help anyone. With basic questions such as the OP's, there's stacks and stacks and stacks of info out there - why duplicate here?

Re: information needed
 

abill, ebay n900, get an iphone and get happy

Re: information needed
 

OP (stands for original poster, in case OP doesn't know), RAM stands for Random Access Memory. I don't know the specifics, but it's used to hold temporary information that every program generates when running.

Other than that, while those guys are being blunt, they do have a point: You should get used to looking for basic information (this is like Computer Science 101) such as this by yourself.

edit: Here, lots of topics on subject
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special...m+memory&go=Go

Re: information needed
 

You have totally missed my point but there again it seems to be common place now on here.

Spoonfeeding helped you when you was a baby yes?.

Re: information needed
 

well time has changed I think.
Forum was much helpful before.
But also now there are lot of useless post everday . I think thats what doing this change???

Re: information needed
 

Are you even suggesting to ME i look up the meaning of RAM ? oh dear what IS happening here !.

Re: information needed
 

And you still have not contributed any help whatsoever to this thread.

Re: information needed
 

The pure aggresion on this forum is astounding now and also very shocking.

Neither i nor the OP is Nokia i might like to remind people !.

Re: information needed
 

Not unless you were the original poster, which if I recall correctly is eefo.

Re: information needed
 

Well I myself consider this post useless.
The poster didn't even bother to look at the name of widget that he installed himself.
Is your n900 stolen?:-o

Re: information needed
 

hold on! be right back! popcorn is ready!!!


Please......Continue :D:D:D:D

Re: information needed
 

It might be his father's phone, I don't know.

Anyways, this discussion has gone off the rails; I'm stepping down from it.

Re: information needed
 

:d:d:d:d:d:d:d

Re: information needed
 

Just kidding about the stolen part.
1. Please use search option for searching your question.You didn't even bothered to see the name of the app let alone search on forum.
2.You don't even know RAM. What grade u in?
3.This forum is neither wikipedia nor google that u search for everthing you don't know.Few things you can find yourself

Re: information needed
 

Then stop stirring things up by pointing out faults in other peoples opinions. You've just wound people up and now find it "astounding" and "shocking" that people with differing opinions react.

And you STILL haven't provided any help whatsoever to the OP's question.

Re: information needed
 

Pass some popcorn here too:D

Re: information needed
 

OP do not listen to any of them.

It's 'memory' of where you have been recently.
Might be good to take back the stolen phone >:{

Re: information needed
 

i think eefo has got a brilliant sense of humour lol

Re: information needed
 

u should know better... u have been on these forums for quite some time... it is the TROLL abill... just search the forums and you will find some of his interesting posts... some on british laws, some on his ubber hacking skills... really such a good laugh...

Re: information needed
 

Are you comparing the OP to a baby?

I assumed he was a bit older than that.

Re: information needed
 

Well, the headline for this thread is almost the least descriptive I've ever seen. (Beaten by "Argghhh!")

If you don't ask precise questions, you tend to pick up junk responses.

I think the OP question was already answered ok, though.
