Hi sir's good day, I cannot play hd games on my phone. It says i need X ammount of space to play the game, what does it mean by that space for phone or space for sd card? Thank yoy

Well how much space do you have available on phone and SD?

Well i think there are 2 possibilities :
1. The game needs a certain amount of RAM and the phone has it all blocked with something else.
2. The game needs a certain space on the internal memory in order to run.
I don't thinks it's an issue with the SD card.
You can try again after cleaning some internal space, or after closing some apps in order to free more RAM.
What ROM are you using? Sense or AOSP?
Thanks
Dear XDA users,
I've HTC Sensation with Android 2.3.4 software number 1.45.707.2. The phone is rooted.
The problem is with the RAM. HTC Sensation comes with 768mb of RAM. But the task manager is showing 563mb. Can anyone tell me what is wrong with my phone? where is the rest of 205mb of ram?
Thanks in anticipation.

nothing is wrong with your phone. everyones does that. the ram you do not see is dedicated to other processes your phone needs to run.
The 200+mb is dedicated to the gpu.

Exactly, my Sensation shows 583Mb too but is ok. It doesn't mean you don't have 768mb, remaining ram belongs to GPU.
Regards!
mine is also the same but that is ok.
I had nexus s before sensation I know realize that free ram on sensation is about 120~140mb on average which is even lesser than nexus s. So it would be good idea to get more ram from camera or such as what have been done in nexus s kernel. Is this difficult to do so??

Install non-sense rom and you will get 100% more free ram.
Sense is ram killer.
Nexus s is runing pure android,thats the point.
I meant is there a dev working on the kernel to get extra ram from camera or such just like wat devs have done in nexus s lol since the sensation can only use 581mb and I didn't buy a sensation to use sense less rom

There won't be a kernel that "gets extra ram from camera". It's not needed. Also, free ram is wasted ram, plus when you open an app that needs more than 140mB, the os will close some apps until it has enough space.

Not sure why people think that more ram mean faster boot if there is ram it boot if not it has to close it clear ram then open it so more ram faster just like a pc
Sent from my Sensation 4G using xda premium
So wrong. So, horribly, wrong. Android keeps enough ram free to launch an application or two (a massive application or two) without having to close anything. You have 120MB free on average? That's plenty to launch the browser, music app, gallery, and about 4 other things before Android has to close anything at all. Free ram is wasted ram.
That "like a PC" part is also wrong. You should always have enough ram to run whatever it is you're running. If you don't have enough, you simply add more to accommodate. The only way you're really going to become faster with ram is to install faster ram (you also have to remove the slower ram because PCs run on the slowest speed available).
What I'm trying to say is that when I play a game such as drow something I sometimes click home button to go web to find out what it looks like. However, when I go back to the game, it was closed most of times. That's why I asked. Nexus s uses 402~3 ram out of 512(not sure) atm.

Maybe you can try kernel with ZRAM capability, faux123 has a good explanation on ZRAM in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216197:
ZRAM allows real-time compression of memory objects in RAM thus reducing memory pressure for the Linux kernel and can keep more apps in memory longer (more apps in RAM == better performance, less fetching from slower MMC or SDCard). Compression, however, is not Free. Some CPU cycles are required to do the compress/decompression, so there's a slight penalty for it. The original CompCache / RAMZSwap required a user space binary to control its behavior which adds additional penalty to performance, but the new version ZRAM eliminated the need for a separate dedicated daemon, thus reducing the overhead and increased performance from the old CompCache by 20%. Therefore, with the newer implementation of ZRAM interface, the performance penalty is almost negligible.
faux kernel and Bricked kernel support ZRAM capability.
Hope it helps.

Maybe try removing some of the sense bloat items you don't need/use?

Agreed. I can trim about 200MBs off Sense using Titanium Backup. Roughly 70 to 80 applications can be removed without issue. Things like HTC's GPS application (there's like 4 components), Friendstream, pre-installed Facebook garbage, Low Storage Wizard, both Sense and AOSP Setup Wizards, half of the Sense widgets, HTC Watch + widget, HTC Hub, HTC Likes, etc etc.
I'm using Sony Xperia S LT26i n my fd is using HTC Sensation XE.
My phone equipped more RAM than his phone n his phone has much more apps n widgets than me.
But the problems are, his XE has less free RAM n free storage than my S, but mine runs much much slower n laggy than his...
I really don't quite understand, r HTC sense really that smooth?
Almost every tech specs(chipset, GPU, CPU) on the HTC Sensation XE r identical to Sony Xperia S, except for RAM, but XE got less...
Strange...
Conditions:
Both running on stock 4.0.4 ICS ROM n stock launcher.
My S has 3 widgets, 380 apps n all 5 homescreens r full.
His XE has 10 widgets, 450 apps n all 7 homescreens r full.
My S used to had 200MB free RAM, 1.8GB free Phone Memory n 2GB free Internal Storage.
His XE used to had 160MB free RAM, 1.5GB free Phone Memory n 1.2GB free SDHC Card Storage.
HTC's aim with Sense was to make it as smooth as possible, so..
Being fair to HTC they did a decent job with Sense on their ICS ROMs
450 apps? Damn

Hi guys am back with another noob question my question is about Storage capacity of my one S. It is showing only 10gb available memory where as my brother has HTC butterfly which also has 16 gb inbuilt but shows 11.6 gb available. Can anyone tell me whether we also can expand our storage to 11.5 gb like that of butterfly? Is there a solution to storage constraint. Any one gb or more extra space will be a lot of help. Thanks in advance
