You'll want to take a look at the allocation tracker to figure out what allocations you're making. If you (or Glide) is making a lot of small allocations or a few larger allocations, that might be worth tracking down.

That said, Volley will buffer responses in a byte[] array. To mitigate that, Volley caches and re-uses byte arrays. The byte array caching works reasonably well for small requests and small images, but the limited size of the pool means it doesn't work well for medium or large images. As a result it may end up allocating and throwing away a number of byte arrays for each image request.

but version 3 dones't have this problem

It's totally possible, but either way you'll need to take a look at the allocation tracker to figure out what is being allocated and why.
