Dont worry about it, its caching and actually helps performance and saves battery, its a good thing.

Basically it will try to use all RAM available, if more RAM is needed for a new app then this RAM can readily be overwritten without slowing down loading of the new app. If you try to open a previously opened app that is still cached in RAM it will be done insanely much faster than if it had to be loaded from the flash storage.

    I have Black Z1C...killer looks
    Scratch guard is available for both Front Glass and Back Plastic side....no more fingerprint and dust issues... :)

    New issue observed:
    Apps running in background are eating up too much of RAM...Today the total RAM used was 1.5 GB out of 1.66 GB available (even though the phone was in ideal state)...had to restart the phone to free RAM..
    (Task Killer was of no use)

          i love that they downsized the z1 without sacrificing the specs. it ay be just a few mm thicker than Z1 but for a small person like me, i think it is A-OK.

          am still convincing myself though if is should shift back. am liking my son's blackberry but i miss sony's camera power. i might downgrade to Z ultra since am also after the writability of samsung's note 3

                    N.A. Sofi, 03 Apr 2014Screen not an IPS panel at all, it is TFT!..hmmmm actually it has a thin film transistor liquid crystal display being advanced with in plane switching technology. simple check...watch the viewing angles and the excellent contrast....if you have one.....rumors are only like hallucinations...............

                        pixel means nothing. The camera is ok, just don't expect too much.

                                    Look for it in stores and see the real thing.
                                    The screen is incredibly brilliant.
