How can I bring my ram down on my android?
I recently got a Droid RAZR M. I haven't installed any more apps than what I already had on my Droid incredible 2. A good couple less in fact. however with the RAZR i am always maxing out my ram at 800MB. When i clear it up, the best i can ever get it down to is 550, but then that's before apps run themselves again. I know unused ram is wasted ram, but isnt this a little extreme? my droid 2 never did this and from what I thought, both these phones had almost the same processor.
4 AnswersAdd-ons7 years agoConnected with limited activity with some detials?
Ive owned my new ASUS Notebook (U52F Series) running windows 7 64-bit now for maybe four months. It worked great until recently when i was no longer able to connect to the internet. My Verizon router is working fine, I've reset it multiple times, and have roommates that are connected to it with no problems. When I troubleshoot, it tells me "There might be a problem with the driver for the Local Area Connection adapter" and "for the Network Connection adapter" but experience problems when I "try repairs as an administrator". so ive downloaded the first 2 network drivers from the asus support website here:
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx
but i believe that made it worse. I don't remember exactly what happened but i just used a system restore back b4 i installed them. I don't know if it helps, but thought it was worth noting that directly connecting doesn't work any better, and that my IPv4 and IPv6 connectivity are not connected.
Anyways, I'm not sure what the next step is... any help would be greatly appreciated.
1 AnswerComputer Networking1 decade agoIn vista, should most my services be disabled?
Currently my laptop has been acting wired. Both windows defender and Vista Aero themes were disabled one day along with ability to pick up wifi. I fixed the first two, finding the related services disabled in my administrative tools, and noticed that about 75% or more of my services are disabled. Is this normal? I'm still trying to find if there's any service that's disrupting my network connection as well...

5 AnswersTattoos1 decade agowhy has my laptop recently been saying "connected with limited activity"?
Within the past week or so, my laptop cant pick up my wifi signal. My desktop works really fast, as well as the connection on my Xbox, neither of which are actually wireless. when i direct connect my laptop, its fast of coarse, but when i go upstairs, my laptop says i'm "connected with limited activity" and i'm unable to do anything that requires connection.

Ill update this though if needed or requested. Any help would be much appreciated :)

33 AnswersDiet & Fitness1 decade agoWill my eyebrow reject my piercing again?
I've seen similar questions answered on here, but i need a little more direction... Ive been told because the skin around the eyebrow is fairly tight with the skull, its one of the easiest to reject. Is that true? and if i were to get it re-pierced, what kind of metal would be the best choice? I was unaware there were different metals the first time around.
I don't know if any of this matters, but i had my origional piercing about 2 yrs ago, and it had fully rejected 3 or 4 months after it healed or so.

Ive not been doing it for long, but its definitely something to do when I'm bored. I just moved across states so for now its a substitute as to going out with friends till that starts happening again.

3 AnswersSecurity1 decade agoHow can i fix these problems that are the aftermath of reinstalling XP?
When i reinstalled XP on my home PC, i forgot to save the drivers before hand. I knew how to get everything running again, including the internet, but i had different problems, like the screen resolution will never save to what i set it to and resets every time i shutdown, and whenever im online, the window will glitch when i scroll up and down. i assume it has something to do with the video card right? I just dont know what drivers to download from Dell's website to fix this or if there is anything else i can do.
My home PC is a Dell Dimensions 2400 (desktop)
Any help would be great! Thanx in advance
