hey guys.
i m user of htc desire hd. i got 580 mb of ram like everyone but due to installtion of app it remains to 250-280mb after killling apps with appkiller.
is there any way the developer has made to increase ram or transfer sd card memory to ram or use sd card as ram....?
kindly help me and tons of other desire hd users....!
this interests me as well,though i am pretty sure it's a bad idea to use the sd card as ram if you plan on using it for other purposes as well (i'd compare it to hyperboost with usbsticks on win7/vista,which sucks)
I would not recomend using appkillers, Not only they are usless you might harm your phone. Those aplication you are killing are working in background and using very little memory. You cant even tell how little. Use appkiller just to monitor how many ram a program is using.

i still have my Stock (unrooted and S-on) Sensation... Fresh boot memory is just under 250mb and after sometime of moderate usage (a day or two), ussually got only 80-150 mb of free RAM...
My (rooted) S2 on the other hand boot @ 530+ of RAM and after almost entire week of usage without reboot, still have 300+ of RAM (thats without killing tasks via task managers because i dont have that on my droids)... yes, i know the fact that S2 does have 1gb of RAM... but why @ 768 of RAM, i only have that small bootup RAM? does Sense 3.0 really take much of RAM or there are many start-up programs that autorun on bootup?
for those who already did the S-off and rooted their sensation, what your boot-up memory reading?
Sound Quality?
Sensation's SQ is really poor (headphone)... im spoiled by my SGSI with Audio fix (thanks Supercurio)... i read somewhere that Sensation also has Wolfson Audio chip, just dont know if its the same variant with that of SGSI... Is thier any chance that we can have same audio fix done on SGSI on our Sensation?
Sense 3.0 sucks it up, along with android taking its fair amount to run stable and all. I think.
Inquire in the q&a section pls. Search in development.

BUMP.......
I've got myself a HTC Sensation XE.
Specs for the phone was stated 6GB Total but i believe it was partition for user usage on 1GB+
How can I fully utilise the whole capacity or to repartition to 3gb for usage.
The next issue i found out was that the memory was stated 768MB of Ram installed however it seems like HTC itself already used up 400-500mb+
Any Help? Sorry for my poor english.

Hi,
I really do not think there is any problem with the 1GB of internal space.
That is plenty of space for normal operation of the phone.
Similarly, there is no problem with the amount of RAM you have to play with.
If you are worried,you can use a program like ROM CLEANER to clear out all the crap you do not want to run BEFORE you install the ROM.
Hello i just wonder if it's possible to get more ram acces on htc sensation in the most rom you have like 560 ram, the phone have a kapasitet off 768 mb ram, if you can get more ram free the phone will be faster i think. Can some devoper answer me on that question if it possible to do that?
You don't think that a dev would get us more RAM if he could do that. Some of the total RAM is used for system processes and will never show up as available.

More ram doesn't mean more speed.
If you deleted a lot of HTC stuff i looks like you get more speed with more ram available.
That isn't true, with those deleted apps you also kill a lot of background processes.
Thats the cause of speeding up.
On the other had your GPU also takes some ram if you increase it to gain more ram your GUI will be horrible.
Looking at the Bricked kernel which has even taken more ram to increase smoothness when playing games ect.
i have an idea
It's not exactly how much ram you have.. its about how much free ram. I'm running what's in my signature and I also have this app called app quarantine that helps. Maybe look into it? Try it out.
Also arhd Roma and fauxs latest kernels give extra RAM with zram and zcache
The HTC One X has 16GB of storage total, but only about 2GB can be used for apps. I don't get it, its all internal memory, why separate it like that? Or is it just similar to my current Android phone where i have 2 separate storage areas, a small amount of phone memory, and SD Card. Should i think of the One X as having phone memory and a built in SD card so to speak. Because on my current phone i can move some apps from phone memory to SD card in Android Settings based off how they work, and some need to stay on the phone. Would this be a similar way that it may work on the One X?

the 10gb partition is basically an sdcard yes. 2gb of app storage is actually a lot. if an app needs extra data, it's saved to the internal memory (10gb).
That's the typical configuration for almost all Android phones. You have system partition where the kernel/OS/system resides. You have app paritition where all apps install to. Then you have the SDcard type storage area where all user/app data stores to.
2GB app partition is quite large. You can also install app to SDcard if you use up all the 2GB space.

This has been covered before, but the reason HTC went this route is to have usb mass storage mode. With one big partion, such as I have on my gtab 10.1 mtp is used, usb mass storage is not an option.
And yes, moving apps to sd works, even large games where most of the data is downloaded afterwords, that data goes to your "sd". In short, the 2gb app partion is plenty.

really?
don't mean to beat a dead horse here, but really, is 2gb enough? i'm on a t-mobile mytouch 4g slide and i might be leaving t-mobile to come to at&t and get the htc one x, but one of my biggest complaints is the storage space. i'm CONSTANTLY having to delete apps to stay above 200mb free (and i have no music on my phone and all pics are on the sd card). right now i have 102 apps/games installed. i find that if i start moving apps/games to sd i start having phone issues (and i know not to move apps that have widgets, but even still, just installing games and stuff still tends to cause freezes and force closes). now the only reason i might be able to trust you guys and take the leap of faith here with the 2gb is that i'm running android 2.3 here... i know that android 4.0 is a totally different beast and things just run amazingly better to begin with (especially with the added hardware of the one x)... so maybe i really don't need to worry about moving some of my bigger games like plants vs zombies and peggle (thats like 150mb right there on the phone storage alone) to sd on this android 4.0 device...
SO... anyone wanna help me feel a little better about this and give me some more assurance that everything is just gonna be ok haha.
thanks
One major difference here is that your T-Mo MyTouch 4G Slide needs to use the slower microSD card for SD storage. Due to the speed difference and general unreliable performance of external SD storage, it could cause issues for apps stored on those external SD cards.
For HOX, there is no external SD card involved. The 10 GB or so storage you can use is from the same NAND chip that is used by the internal 2GB app storage. So, there shouldn't be any problem for moving apps to that storage.

interesting. sounds pretty reasonable. i don't really store any music on my phone other than a few spotify offline playlists, and no movies, so the space would be totally pictures, apps and games... so if what you're saying is true, i guess i shouldn't really worry about the 2gb... gonna go play with one in a store tomorrow to make sure i'll be happy jumping from 3.7 to 4.7" but i think this might be a done deal for me ...

No it is not the typical configuration for all Android phones, not after ICS. After ICS I think HTC is the only one who insist on sticking to it. Even though MTP have its pro and cons, I think sticking to the old 2 GB partition has more Cons than Pros.
And while 2GB is enough for many users, for many others, it is NOT enough. FYI not all apps can be moved to SDcard and right now I have almost 4 GB on apps on my tablet. So for a heavy user, 2GB space is both restrictive AND unnecessary.
This is a stupid decision by HTC that has stopped me from buying their phone since HTC desire HD (which gave me such an headache due to this restriction)
Also consider the exponential growth in the file size of the apps. A few years ago, you will have hard pressed to find an apps that is more than 100 MB, now some apps even approaches 0.5 GB to 1GB size. Enough? Hardly.

I recently bought a One S and one thing that has really been bugging me is the fact that I have much les storage than advertised. It says that you get 16 GB, but the actual amount is 12.14, and
2.21 of that is internal memory so I only actually have 9.93 to store my media. Why is this? Also it says it should have 1 GB of RAM but task manager says I only have 650 MB.

16 GB storage is partitioned and some RAM is reserved for the system and the GPU.

First off no hdd or flash memory is ever 100% as advertise because its been formatted to run. That's why there is only 12gb instead of 16gb. And that 2gb is the space dedicated to app installs. And the remainder is for you to do with however you please. Music, videos, extra game data (like many of gameloft games where you need to dl an extra 500 MB or so) or whatever you else you want to throw on other then an app install.
When you see an app in market and you download it and install it, it goes directly to that 2gb partition. If you download an app from a third party website it first goes to the 9gb space and once it installs it, it installs on the 2gb and all you need to do is delete the original dl .apk or keep it as a back up.

The above answers covered the answer so no need to reiterate but I just want to opine that you should consider yourself lucky, HTC doesn't rape you like Motorola does. On the Razr and Bionic, they are advertised as 16gb internal but only 8 is accessible to the user. They allot 4gb for apps and 4 for the OS. Bonus for them is obviously expandable memory.

System takes the resources
On many phones the preinstalled software takes a lot of space. I would recommend to install another ROM. I always do that to get rid of the software I don't need.
Ok. Thanks for the help. But what about the RAM? Shouldnt all of it be available?

As already said, some of the RAM is reserved for the system and GPU. For example my HD2 should have 576MB RAM but it only has 411/403 (depends on the ROM/Kernel I guess) because 128MB is for the GPU and the rest is used by the system. I never actually get that much free RAM (I never get more than 200MB free, and that's only on startup; normally I have around 130MB free) but at the same time it's never really been an issue.
Ok. I just though that everything was shown together because I always have 500 MB of RAM used even with all applications closed.
The phone will still reserve some RAM for itself, and that is not the best indicator of RAM that's actually in use.
HTC One S is a gorgeous piece of hardware. To bad they didn't add sd card support...

System software installed on separate partition usually. So removing them will not add more space to the user data.
