Is there any accessory, download, anything that I can buy that will increase the amount of RAM in my Droid Razr? Now, I'm not talking about storage. I'd get a micro SD card for that. I'm talking about RAM.

Thanks.

That would be sweet for sure but no, there are some apps that claim to be a ram optimizer but not sure their worth.

But just a general increase no. Also welcome to the forum!

1GB should be good enough. Are you having any issues?

Thank you for welcoming me to the community. I appreciate your responses.

I might be a RAM a hog but many of the system apps are using a lot of RAM:
Settings 32MB
Google Services 13MB
Email 32MB
Homescreen 44MB
Swype 36MB

Other apps don't use much but all together they total about 640MB of RAM.

I was surprised at how much RAM was in use. Many apps don't have a Quit or Exit button as if that would make a difference.

Anyway, I guess I'll just have to make do.

Thanks for your help.

the RAM on the razr is directly soldered to the motherboard. unless you know how to redesign the motherboard of the razr, then getting more ram is a dream within a dream.

I've always liked Auto Memory Manager.

My new S3 us really no faster than my razr was and it's got plenty of ram.... I doubt you'd see much change if you could swap it out.

The RAZR has the same 1GB of RAM the S3 does.

I am not sure, since I don't have one I was only going off of what I found. Saw five different sites all listing it as 1GB, one of those being a Samsung site so that is why I mentioned it. However that could be incorrect, where is bsweetness he has one of those things....
