[Q] upgrading ram

Hi everyone,
I have been reading on these forums and it seems like the developers have done a very nice job with custom roms(got to love opensource community).
I got a g-tablet and was wondering if it is possible upgrade the ram in the tablet. Let me know if anyone has opened there tablet up and have looked at the hardware inside and maybe post couple of pics of the layout of the hardware.

Here you go.
This thread is a good place to start:

Kind of a repost; you just needed a ***bump***

Anyway... Yes it is possible.
From what i have heard, g tab got two slots of ram and just used one with the 512kb. The problem here, like i posted 5 minutes ago, is that current roms dont support more ram than 512kb. Maybe with honeycomb release and its requirements we finally get the support for extra ram in our devices.
Cheer for the mods and lets wait a little longer for the honeycream AOSP and a port for g tablet.

It's not two slots of ram it's more like the x-box ram upgrade.

so does anyone have pics of what the ram actually looks like? And is it possible to purchase from the market?

It is *NOT* possible to upgrade the ram, period, end of story.
(yes, it's possible, but if you have to ask, you can't do it. extreme soldering skill required)

[Q] 2gb RAM vs 3gb and future development

Hi all,
looking for a nice smartphone that sports a big battery life, I've always had 3GB of RAM as a second must. Now I've got my eye on a phone that comes in 2GB and 3GB version. I've read on this forum in a couple of older posts that 2GB should be more than enough (normal use) and that 3GB is future proofing or for heavy multi taskers.
Is this still true? Or is 3GB RAM the best buy these days? What is more RAM good for? Is 2GB of RAM enough with the new Lollipop version? Will 2GB be enough in one years time?
Hope someone can shed some recent light on this subject!

Could you be more specific? RAM usage depends on ROM: vanilla android takes a small amount, therefore 2GB should be enough. Touchwiz, on the other hand takes a lot more ( Note 3 SM-N9005 uses 2,1GB out of 2,75). This is just a guideline, of course, but I am sure Samsung, LG and HTC will make their heavy theming and bloating even heavier.

I will try! atm I am looking at the HUAWEI Mate 7 as a possible new phone. Massive battery, slim bezels! In my country the 2GB version is standard, the 3GB version will be a lot more difficult to purchase ( and of course, it is more expensive).
That is why I wonder if 2GB is enough on a phone that I will most likely use in 2014 and 2015. Can they run the latest android versions that will be coming up, and most apps without problems? Or if 3GB already is the standard and I shouldn't settle for a phone that has less?
I know it is a very general question, but I hope I've given enough information for a good answer. :good:
P.s.: I think this question should have been posted in Q&A section.

If it does, my appologies, and I would not mind anyone moving it.

Thanks for your opinion! It keeps the Mate 7 at the top of my list atm

Yeah you should def go for the mate 7, its a good phone and i have my eyes on it also

Bush Spiral B1

I have a Bush Spira B1 (5inch, dual sim android 4.4.2, 5mp back camera, 2mp front camera, 8gb internal memory, 1gb ram, retailing in argos for £69.99)
I've only had it just over 30 days and it rebooted this evening but does not boot into android, after the boot and splash screens I get a blank screen and no operating system.
Anyone have any idea or knowledge of this device?
Why won't it finish boot? No system or any other changes have been made.
Apparently this is a rebranded Archos 50 neon, and carries the model number C50CNE.

Sounds like a piece of $hit.
Its most likely some chinese knock off.

My own investigation found out that all bush phones and tablets available in UK are rebranded Archos devices.
The Spira B1 seems to be identical to the Archos C50 Neon.
There are bigger and better phones available (Namely the Spira C1 and Spira D1 that have 5.2 and 5.5" screens and lollipop) for £99 and £120 respectively.
The previous 4 and 5 inch Bush android phones and tablets available until April this year in the UK (that were called bush 4 android and bush 5 android) have now been rebranded as Alba devices !

Here it is.

I have a Bush Spira C1. I bought it from Argos. I too cannot currently find anyway to root my device. I'm gradually running out of space, as I'm unable to use Link2SD without root. Any assistance for us would be gratefully received. Thank you in advance. P.S. I have searched XDA, but cannot find any other reference to our devices.

Not everyone can afford a £600 phone. Some people are quite happy with the basics.

Same problem here, my dad has the Spira B1. I'll update if I find something.
[Update]
Managed to root with KingoRoot using the Windows software. Just need to find a way to replace their superuser app with SuperSU now.

superuser just crashes on this phone supersu sort of works it roots the phone but the pop up for su prompt is blocked so just sits there if set to always grant root works but is a bit of a security issue and practically all phones are produced in china now even the over priced ones and the chipset for the phone is spreadtrum the cpu is a quad 1.2 with a mali mp2 gpu so performance is reasonable but the touch screen is only 2 touch and it is a rebranded Archos 50c neon but the update firmware they have available at the archos site is older than what is installed on the phone so won't install.

s 3GB RAM version fine/enough ?

Hi,
I was wondering if 3GB RAM version fine on 6PRO? I had Sony XA2 3GB version in the past and it seemed to be fine. Though I like Lot's of windows in my browser and jumping backwards and forwards between 5-7 apps. I don't play games. Use camera a lot. Thanks.

I think 3 GB is good enough to you.

Redmi 4 Prime for about 2 years with 32GB was ok
now 2 years later I got RN6pro with 32GB, no need for more,
for your preferences it is ok too, I believe

Thanks : ) Do apps refresh a lot on the phone? One thing I hate mroe than anything to have content on the ap pto be refresh everytime I come back to it.

but most of the apps are google playstore apps ?
that has nothing to do with phone roms,
I don't use many Xiaomi apps

The one I am intending to buy is UK version form local shop. So, yes it's google store. And some bloatware on top. Unfortunately I didn't mod phones.

I feel paying a bit more for 64gb and 4gb is a reasonable choice

Well in order to do that we would need the source code of the tablet, which is not available anywhere around for your tablet. I'm sorry to announce that you got scammed like every other people buying cheap chinese tablets. I know the price is quite interesting but you'll always end up losing your money with these sellers. So if you really want a tablet just go for verified brands, and do not buy from aliexpress or marketplaces like that.
