Please verify this: The cust rep tolf me that the firmware sits on the Ram.
I see a total RAM of 623MB
12:05:51 [**j] :
and 264 of which is currently free
12:06:03 [] :
my question is why does my phone not have 756 total
12:06:08 [ :
ram
12:06:19 [] :
and why does it only have 623MB totla
12:07:35 [John P.] :
Because a firmware was installed on your phone. And that firmware took the space that you're looking for.
12:10:19 [] :
so you are saying that the firmware sits on the ram?
12:10:27 [John P.] :
Yes

My question was for firmware... does firmware sit on RAM? and why would the total RAM be displayed at 620+ when it was supposed to be 756?

If the OS is running it sets on the RAM.
It's because...
You have 768mb ram.
Then it reserves ABOUT 128mb of that ram to the graphics and some other stuff in the phone.
So, it leaves around that 620mb to the phone to actually use.
So the rep was wrong.
Correct, the firmware isn't "installed" in RAM, but the OS is running from RAM.

OS sits on ram so 756-620(whatever you have available) = OS size(UI/system/etc)

Couldn't have said it better myself. I was going to use an example saying my first pc had 22mb of ram, but 8mb was shared with the video card. Lol

Pls post your available memory (RAM) and total memory with the rom u'r using.
I'm using leedroid 4G 3.3.3
Total memory 621 MB
Available memory ~125 MB
Can total memory different from rom to rom? I thought it should be 768MB but mine shows only 621 MB.
I've got 620 total and 345 available with CM7.

You will never see the 768 of ram as over 100mb are set aside for the OS. It is this way with all phones. While it may have say 768mb of ram the USER available ram if normally a few hundred less. I normally have around the 621 total and about 200-300 available.
On phone restart and Apps Killed:
Used: 160-180mb
Free 400mb
A couple Snappys. Hope it Helps!
only 140mb free don't know what to do ...

There is nothing wrong with having that amount of RAM. It all depends on what you keep running. I don't do any fb so I don't have it running a lot of updates. I also don't use and have removed a lot of HTC sense
Thanks for the answer.
On starting I normally have a little over 400 but once everything loads and I've ended what I want out I'm sitting between 290 and 370 the big gap is if I kill everything or just kill stuff I rarely use.

I have tried lots of system info tools and every one says the O3D has total of 444mb ram installed so why do the specs say 512?
I am not talking of available free ram but total installed ram, shouldnt it say 512?

Nah a Megabyte is actually 1024kilobytes retailers and manufacturers advertise drives and ram as if a megabyte was 1000kilobytes so 1 megabyte is actually 976kilobytes on the drive itself sort of... uh i think i confused myself... lol
Plus there are other reasons as well.... the one above is the main reason why though

And there is a guy in this forum claimed that LG Thrill have total 1GB (512+512) of Ram in a thread . I'm about to fall down my chair when i read that
That would be nice, lucky if it was true lol

Well actually no there is only one stick of 512 ram, it just has two channels which means while one channel is busy the other one can be used. This is why it seems so fast the nothing is ever waiting for ram access. Also being dual channel I am sure the ram is running at incredible speeds.

This is the correct fact. If you guys look to Settings-Sd card and Phone storage- system memory. Mine shows i have 765mb available space..
That's different, that is how much room you have on phone for apps/games and whatnot

Dear Friends,
I guess 512-444=68 mb may be used by the GPU ( PowerVR 540 ), so i think thats why we have 444 mb of total ram on boot which of its 200 mb is free and by deleting crapware and some unused services, it can be around 250 mb...
Also i agree that, our dual channel 512 mb ram is working at incredible speed since i still dont get any lag ( my opinion ) even use the phone @ 300 mhz min - 600 mhz max by setcpu app in order to do some battery saving. I get around 1700 quadrant score with that setup and i am very very satisfied, @full speed i get around 2700 quadrant score...
i bet there are two 256+256 ram modules on board in order to make it dual channel but i may be wrong...
Kind Regards,
Its dual channel AND dual ram remember.

Everything I have seen on the internet (including HTC's own specs page) shows the EVO SHift having 512 MB of RAM. However, it seems as if my system only has 368 MB (as detected by V6 Supercharger and a couple hardware info apps I downloaded from the market). Does anybody know why this would be the case? My phone is newer (just got it a little over a month ago). Could HTC have lessened the amount of RAM in the new Shifts?
Also, I am running MikShifted-G v1.6 if that makes any difference.
Mine says I have 367,haha, i believe it might only show total available after all the system android stuff... I am probally wrong because I have AOSP which is so much smaller and less bloated that your sense and i have less.. Haha.. But idk... Just speculation

mine shows,
internal 452/321 free
rom 410/91.9 free
This might help explain things better

Thanks for the link, but I'm just talking about total RAM, not amount free. Everything indicates I have 368 MB of RAM (not internal storage or ROM or anything, but actual RAM). The Evo Shift supposedly has 512 MB, but I know the HTC Merge has 368 MB, so I was wondering if they lowered the RAM on the newer Shifts.
To check the RAM, download the app Android System Info. It is not Internal Memory, but RAM. Mine says Max 368 MB.
My mistake
trsix said:
Has anyone added more ram? Ive seen 1 gig sticks for$38. I might have to try if noone else has. Curious if it might speed the shift up.?

They're talking about internal memory on the phone. Are you talking about an sdcard?
Its possible the gpu has an amount dedicated to it that will not be shown. Sort of like checking the ram on a laptop will show less than the stated specs
Hello, I'm maintaining a thread with values of reserved RAM for many devices. Could someone tell me how many MB of total RAM is reported in the system? Just type free in terminal emulator or use one of the many utilities. I'm looking for total RAM, not just the available one. Thanks

total usable RAM: 512 MB
system regonizeble: 345 MB aprox.
current free usable RAM: depends on your process, usually after reboot and all clear is about 100 - 200 MB aprox.
Thanks, I really hoped around 400 even the N1 had a bit more..
Sent from my Sensation using Tapatalk
Thats because part of the 512mb is used for the gpu. So if 345 is used by system then 167mb is used for the gpu. Thus it looks like its little. But trust me it boosts your graphics intensive stuff.

you must first understand ANDROID's memory management
unused memory is wasted memory
Why would max RAM be reported as 770 MB if the total RAM is 1 GB? Even using Android System Info app it says the same thing. Thanks.

I think 770MB is what the system has access to.
Though the phone specs say 1GB

I thought maybe the AT&T One X got screwed versus the international one. However, I just checked a Verizon Galaxy Nexus and it only reported 694 MB. It must be the missing 300 is tied for the kernel or other critical os items. Thanks.

Qualcomm S4 CPUs have to use around 2xx mb ram as GPU RAM
TI TMAP 4 too
