One of the things that bug me about the sensation is the ridiculous amount of internal memory it has, i now we'll be using the sd card most of the time, but i cannot stop wondering how is htc gonna do to fit the whole filesystem on 1 gb of internal memory? i currently have an inspire 4g and even using a rom without the at&t bloatware i only have available 1.2 gb of the internal memory's 4 gb
I'm pretty sure the 1gb is just for apps. Then system stuff has its own partition, then some left over for user storage

It has 4GB internal memory, of which 1gb can be accessed by the user
I'm pretty sure it has 1gb, the evo3d has 4.
For what I know there will be 550mb free, there should be a video showing it.

The evo 3d has 1 gig of memory 3 inaccessible to the user. The g2 had the same so did the my touch 4g same as always with HTC. They always had 4 gig rom.

Yes, but they also have 4gb rom on the spec sheet. Or 1.x gb accessible to user. The sensation only has 1gb rom according to specs.

I honestly doubt that HTC has 1 gig rom only alone since we actually have 1 gig accessible to the user. That already makes 2. The spec sheet is wrong on that aspect every one thought that g2 had 4 gigs of space but it only had 1 usable by us.

You might be right but every phone on the htc site has the physical/ total memory on the spec sheet. For example the desire has 512mb accordion to spec, well that is not the free space accessible to the user. I highly doubt this is any different for the sensation.
Also a Dutch tech site wrote, after a hands on at mwc, that the free memory was 550mb with a total memory of 1gb.

The g2 does have a 4gig internal chip same as the sensation. But because of the way the chip is set up and way files are stacked it basically is a 2gig but read and writes faster. So there is 2gig total basically but radio and system pretty leave roughly 1 gig. No big deal though.

You can look here : http://www.htc.com/us/products/sensation4g-tmobile#tech-specs
It says : "768 MB RAM, 4 GB Internal Storage (1 GB user addressable)"
I think that 1 Go for apps (+ legal App 2 Sd) and the 8 Go microSD are widely enough.

Now that's more like it! , thanks!
Damn, moving from 16GB internal (Vibrant) to 1GB internal is going to be a pain, but I'll handle it.
Vodafone uk confirm 4gig & 1gig user.

But even the 16gb internal vibrant wasn't true app installable since it was 16 internal sdcard. Vibrant only truly used 2gb for apps.
That said, when I dropped my POS Vibrant for a G2, I was disappointed by only having 1.13gb internal for apps, but I've never gone above 500mb, that's roughly 170 apps which is nuts for a phone anyway. Lol, I'd rather have the 1gb of ram that everyone else its getting.

So I'm looking for my next phone.
I was all set to buy the One S but no expansion and removable battery.
The One X is too big.
So where do I go.
I want the One S but 12GB isn't going to cut it.
Whats coming and I am considering non HTC as I;m not big on the current direction.
Current favourite is Sony Xperia S but not completly convinced on this one is there anything coming soon worth waiting for?
Nothing in the very near future which would represent a noticeable upgrade from the sensation. Personally I'm waiting a bit longer.
Sent from the hell that is modern life.
Just hang on longer to the Sensation if you can't find anything. Mayne the SGS3?
If not, just keep the Sensaion and wait for better phones in Q3. Sensation is still a powerful piece of hardware

Xperia isn't much of an upgrade!! It still has the sane old S3 chip, not the newer & much better S4 one!
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
Nope, nothing worth upgrading to just yet.
Nothing on the horizon yet...I'm still enjoying the S4G & Xda development section!
Im looking at the samsung galaxy s3 depending how quad core is handled with battery life, the one s was my next choice too until the no sd card and removable battery. One x is too big so im left with samsung s3.

What do you mean by the One X being too big? Physically, storage space, or price?

Storage is never big enough for ANYONE
Sent from my HTC Desire S using xda premium
I was thinking one S as well but like you said the low amount of storage has put me off it. I mean, the non-removable battery I could live with but only 16 gb's of storage....HTC, what are you thinking???
One X isn't a phone it doesn't fit in many pockets easily far a start.
Nice screen for movies and browsing but a little too impracticable for everyday life.
I go into the highlands in Scotland a lot what use is 25GB of dropbox if you can't access it.
A mobile device is for when your out and about we don't all live in London with permanent 3G and WiFi hotspots around every corner and that's when you want to access the content.
Have you tried streaming on a train or down the motorway in my experience you get crap connection speeds when moving at speed.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
I absolutely agree with you. My concerns are the same. Everyone around me was impressed about this 25GB of storage with dropbox and I know for instance Three UK offer "all you can eat data" plan but they are the only one (as far as I know) and other carriers have their limit. And not to talk about still having gprs and edge connection in many area what I can't even use to fart on it... Anyway, brilliant phone is the One X but I still love my sensation and I'm sure I will sit on this phone till something similar will be released...
LG optimus 4X. Removable battery and an SD card. Hahahaha.

After seeing the specs of the EVO LTE and the European ONE X I was greatly displeased and turned off by the ONE S. EVERY nextgen flagship phone coming out seems to crush it spec wise.
given the fact that i have had multiple HTC phones I have no faith in their ability to make a battery that is sufficient for the phone it supports. So to embed a paltry battery like the one in the ONE S was an immediate deal killer. Then to find out about the memory too...it was not even a second thought.
As for blaming HTC, I have seen the light. The new EVO will be a beast. There is an on board 16 gig memory PLUS its expandable for an additional 32 gig. There is also a 2000 Ma battery if I am not mistaken. HTC "can" make a desireable phone, but T-mo has not required nor demanded a game-changer or a true flagship from them which is sad. Until t-mo stops slacking we will have to sit out cycles (like now) or switch to other brands.
I think I will be sticking with my Sensation until Q3 or Q4. So I won't regret any purchase because by that time all of the flasghip from every manufacturer has already been released. The sensation is still too powerful anyway.

What is the optimal amount of RAM a phone must have to run Ice Cream sandwhich efficently?
I think ics requires at least 1gig. Custom roms may be able to run on less but it's not ideal.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Having used a Droid OG with 256mb of RAM on ICS, I can honestly say it sucks balls. There's virtually no multitasking, everything closes.
But 512mb seems to be good nonetheless. The HTC Aria with 384mb of RAM has a pretty good ICS ROM as well...
As long as its stock ICS, it doesn't require too much RAM at all. 512mb seems to be a good, solid amount however.

Optimus 2X is coming out with ICS soon (finally).
It has 384MB ram available, 128 goes to the GPU.
Will report back after it's out, but it should be fine.

I know, but more attention to finer details never killed anyone
Plus it's worthwhile mentioning how much is restricted to GPU usage, some phones might use less, or more. So saying 512MB as a blanket statement isn't going to cover all phones.

You can say that again. My x8 is barely coping. 168mb of ram on a good day
Ics runs smooth on legeng with 300+ ram. Don't know the exact value.
Mororola mailstome had 512 mb of ram and this enought for ICS and JB.
While there is no official requirement (and there are ports to the G1 with a beefy 96mb of ram) its accepted that 512mb would be required to run it well

Where did you read that? Are you sure it wasn't about galaxy s4 mini / s3 mini or something? I'm fairly sure that the galaxy mini isn't getting any updates past gingerbread.

all i know is that because we all here
seem to be born different,
most of us, 'd rather rely on a fellow dev,
than on a manufacturer who sold you the phone...
so, when there is an update and your device meets
the requirements to run it,
you'll surely find it here,
sooner or later..
As for HTC...it is a smartphone manufacturer,
not a software company,..
their main occupation is: selling phones,
not supporting operating systems running on them...

in the first place, how do you know that kitkat requires lesser ram and cpu usage? did Google said that? no, they didn't. unless you have a magic ball and predicted the future. otherwise give some prove that android 4.4 requires lesser ram and cpu usage

I'm highly doubtful that the Galaxy Mini will be receiving KitKat. If KitKat does have support for devices with low specs then OEMs will probably just release cheaper phones that run it out of the box, rather than spending money on developing updates for outdated phones.
As for whether you should upgrade or not, I think so. I had a DS for two years and bought a discounted Nexus 4 two weeks ago. Definitely worth buying one, and you can be sure that it will be receiving the update to KitKat.
Its official announced by samsung and not by an dev. So i think m 100% correct read the details provided in link.

Samsung hasn't announced the Galaxy Mini getting Kit Kat being official.
Knowing Samsung, your friend won't get 4.4 on Galaxy Mini. It's too old device, even if 4.4 is made to be working with low RAM devices, Galaxy Mini won't get the update.
Why? Because Samsung wants you to upgrade your device (all OEMs do).

Hi everyone,
Im using HTC one S (S4 chip) with maximusHD rom. I checked the total of RAM by using Hardware information function under setup and using Antutu Benchmark and I have got 2 results are different. One is 1gb, one is 782mb like in attached picture.
HTC published that HTC one s come with 1gb of ram. So any one can tell me where is fact of my ram. If it is 782mb so how I can get enough RAM to 1gb.
Thanks all in advanced
Sum the 2 in the second picture.
How I can get enough of Ram, have anyone here, plz help me

HTC One S ville it's 1gb ram.
Buy a phone with 2,3 gb ram.
I think all ram I have is 782mb and 119 is free (used =782-119)
I also used Cpuz to check and get result as picture. Total is 782 and free is 129. I have calculated % of free by 129/782 =~16% like in the pics.
I sure that my 782mb ram is total ram, not used ram.
So I want ask where is remaining my ram
Thanks

Maximus HD is a SENSE rom. Ram eater. Uninstal or deactivate what you don't need.
Or better try a 4.4.2 rom.
I think you can ignore the total RAM amount. It might be that the OS cannot see it all because the kernel reserved some.
You still have 1 GB but not all of it is accessible by the apps.
Take my comment with a grain of salt as I've not looked at the source code.
