Help clear memory

What does clear memory mean ?

When I click active applications and click ram it says ram management then says 'clearing ram would finish some of the running applications save date before you clear ram'

What does this mean if I click it what exactly will it do to my phone? :):):):):):):)


P.S I haven't clicked it yet LOL

Hello Candice.

"Active Applications" in an app such as a task killer? If so, it's likely giving you advice to just clean your RAM out.

But I'll be honest, I've had several Android devices and many apps/widgest, and never have seen a prompt to "clear RAM." I have seen cache cleaning prompts, though.

Thanks Frisco for the advice also while your talking to me I have one final question for you to answer :
