    Default What's normal memory ?

    I have a jailbroke iPhone 4 and only sbsettings along with ********** installed.
    My memory can be as low as 89 mb at times but upon going into sbsettings and closing everything down it shoots unto 359 mb.
    What does everyone else get ?
    And is this anything to worry about ?
    What is normal memory ?

    That is pretty normal. Mine can get as low as 35mb with a bunch of stuff open.

    Also just to let you know we do not allow warez or mention of them on MMi (which is why it was censored).

    At the moment I'm on 68MB, Apple are bad with allocating memory in iOS. Average 'normal' free memory is around 300MB. It's nothing to worry about, any app, system processes, multitasking etc. uses memory. Just remember to remove apps from the task switcher. I recommend getting 'Remove Background' which is a SBsettings toggle, this will kill all apps (and their processes) in the switcher.

    I sit at just over 300 with all apps closed, once i have a few heavy apps backgrounding (ie. YouTube, appstore, and a game or two..) i get down to like 120-130.
    Im at 116 now but i have endless amounts of apps open xD
    If you havnt restored in a while it might be a good idea to do so, that is if you think your a bit low on ram...

    Keep in mind that iOS (when working properly) will close out background tasks as needed to free up memory, so having low memory just means your phone has some apps in the background that have not been manually terminated. It's still something to keep in mind as a troubleshooting step if you're having app crashing problems since not everything always works properly, but in general it's not something to really worry about.

    Going out of the way to kill tasks to have more free memory doesn't necessarily help. Background tasks in memory will open back up faster to where you left them. An extra 200 MB of free memory is just 200 MB of free memory.
