After checking out the G-Tab teardown...does anyone think its possible to add an extra 512 of ram? It would require soldering the surface mount chip. Has anyone tried this or considered trying it?

I have a htc touch pro that i want to gut and place in a htc g1 case a white new one. I have a non working htc g1 and i want to use that touch screen and the question i have the touch pro has a 528 mhz processor and 512 of rom and 288 of ram. I want to add the g1's 256 of rom and 192 of ram the the touch pro to have 768 mb of rom and 480 mb of ram is this possible. Also is there a way to use the g1's 528 mhz processor to make the phone a dual processor phone 2 528 mhz processors to make it super fast. Any help schematics guidance would be awesome.......
Thanks
Matt
No offense but. What are you smoking?
Resolution on both devices is different. So video chip versus screen incompatibilities would arise. Main board could not accommodate having or stacking 2 different ram chips. Also main board could not even identify or utilize 2 processors. Do you have extensive knowledge of mounting or removing surface mounted integrated circuits? Watch video below and wait till he shows the penny. And its way easier to mount an ic versus trying to remove one with out damaging main board or the ic.
good day.
Theres got to be a way whether its getting a new board and buying ram and rom chip sets and and mounting an existing processor or buying a new one as well. I figure if i replace rom and ram chips the phones existing os should remain intact or at least i think it would. Its an idea to build a phone with the hardware you want then unlock and flash an os of choice to it. I would love to find a gig ram chip and a gig rom chip and place a faster processor in it but i have a 528 pn hand.
You're proposing concepts that exist in pc building and modding. That just doesn't translate to mobile devices. Yes there are some older mods where you could send your device to a technician and he would turn your 64mb device to a 128mb plus that came with a noticeably higher battery drain. But I couldn't even imagine trying to unsolder the estimated 110 legs (which are about 5 times the size of a human hair) of a processor and expect that it would work after mounting it on another main board that may not be expecting it. Why do you think repair facilities just throw the mobo away and mount a new one or replace device. Because the guy hunting down the multiple micro ic's that might be bad and replacing them would get paid as much as a surgeon.
good day.
Can we increase RAM by repartitioning the internal storage? Or is the RAM somewhere else physically?
ram is by itself somewhere separate from the internal memory
ram on the g2x is somethign liek 233mhz i think? someone correct me? but thats hell of alot faster than 5-15mb/sec xD the internal memory isnt that fast... imagine how slow 20-50MB would run form the internal memory if the rom got loaded on there?
mhz would be the speed of the ram, I think the OP wants to increase the ram somehow which I have not yet heard of, that would be in MB
Yes, but he explained well how it would not be practical to use internal storage as ram (even if this were possible) because of the drastic speed difference between the technology...it wouldn't function properly.
No, it is not possible to increase the amount of RAM without physically taking apart the phone and welding some new memory onto the motherboard, which is a horrible, horrible idea and should never be done. Ever.
However, you can free a little bit up by installing a custom kernel, the Trinity one by morfic allows 405 mb to be used by applications as opposed to 374 stock.
its possible if you have some rework equipment or are very good at soldering but you would need to find ram that has the same size shape and pin out at what you had thats a challange most chips in small devices use whats called BGA or Ball Grid array its makes it so the pins of the chip are under it so it saves space. but it makes it all but impossible to resolder another chip on there.
Hello,
i was wondering, how much an iPhone 4/4S logic board comprehensive of CPU, RAM, ROM and mass memory can cost?
No need to consider the cost of the camera, display, cover, etc. Also if you can change or access/remove the mass memory (with mass memory i mean the storage, 8 GB or 16 GB or 32 GB and so on) in the logic board, no need to consider mass memory cost.
Also, i already found the original iPhone's logic board for sale; but are they comprehensive of CPU, RAM, ROM and so on? I can't really understand. Looking at the price i wouldn't say that.
Thanks in advance for your time.
Hello,
I have a tablet GOClever TAB T75 and I have a strange caracteristics and specifications about it.
Android OS 4.0.3/4GB flash memory/512MB RAM
Hardware is:
Memory: 29F32G08CBACA [Micron Technology - MT] - 1pc on motherboard
RAM: HYNIX H5TQ2G83CFR - 2 pcs on motherboard
Correct me if I am wrong.
Flash memory some internet pages reports that is 4GB some 8GB.
For RAM I go straight to manufactor web site it's 2GB DDR3 ram module and tablet motherboard have 2pcs.
So my question is why Android OS showing only 4GB Flash memory (I think this is ROM - correct me if I am wrong) and 368MB ram (usable) and 512MB (total RAM) where on motherboard are 2pcs of HYNIX memory 4GB RAM?
Any advice and explanation?
Thank you
anyone????
Well what is your question?
If u got the tablet sold to you as a 4 GB. That is the whole system and storage total. Usually partitioned into 3 or 4 partitions.
Not really sure what u are asking, them Chinese tablets are made by about 100 different companies. Ram isn't removable if that is what your thinking

I'm kind of confused.
The tablet is 4Gb of internal storage and 512Mb of RAM. There's really nothing more to be said. Android is only showing that because that's what is there. If you got scammed that's another issue - but if it was sold to you as 4Gb flash memory and 512Mb RAM then that is what you do have.
Like ronedogg said, the 4Gb is all the internal memory, including space for your ROM (software that makes the tablet run). That's all there is to report because that's all there is.
The RAM might be "2 pieces" of 254Mb RAM. It's not 2Gb - even if you have a copy of a tablet that's supposed to have 2Gb RAM you do not have that, you have 512Mb RAM. Nobody is putting 2 pieces of 4Gb RAM in Android tablets - you only see that in Windows tablets that have Intel processors and tend to be very expensive. Did you pay over $1000USD for this tablet ? I hope not. :silly:
Your RAM is probably 2 modules of 254Mb RAM, if it's even "2 pieces" at all. Generally when reporting RAM they will tell you total RAM, not some number that you multiply, anyway.
Hello,
Thank you for informations. I payed less then 80USD for tablet (used - not new).
Even that tablet have 512MB ram when it's on Android shown Total Mem.: 368,36MB ram (used for OS around 150MB) so Free ram that I can use is only around 200MB (on stock rom).
So that's I am confused why have 512MB of ram and usable only 200MB. Or it's just SW blocked???
In attachment are specs for module.
Thank you
BR
Well, what is the Ram that is being used going toward? The system can take more than 150Mb from what I've read.
I don't know what you have specs for, but I'd be willing to bet my firstborn that it's not what is in your device. You could open the tablet up to confirm it yourself, but if it was sold as 512 and reports 512, why do you think it would be otherwise?

HI Guys,
I have just had a search and can't find anything on replacing the mSATA SSD in the Surface RT 1st Gen.
Has anyone thought about doing this? or have any knowledge on how to do it? or if it would work?
I don't want to change the OS just add additional storage like a 256 SSD, I have the 64gb version with a 64gb Micro SD and 64gb thumb drive in the side yet copying from one to the other takes time. if I was able to have 256gb of inbuilt storage that would be great.
Thoughts?
The Surface RT doesn't have an mSATA drive. It uses eMMC instead, and the chip is soldered onto the motherboard. It's the Surface Pro that uses mSATA. Sorry!
Thats why i cant find anything.. thanks mate
