How to know the real RAM size? - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Hi,
I used
Code:
free - m
with no luck. I tried to use
Code:
dmesg | grep ^Memory
but got no output.
When I use
Code:
free
in terminal I get-
Total memory - 196584
used memory - 193916
free memory - 2668
I am looking for RAM again and again because when my phone starts, the "System Tray monitor" software shows free RAM 98MB initially. Then after couple of minutes it shows free RAM 72MB (without running any program). If I know exactly that the phone has 192MB RAM instead of 288 MB then I can change it.
My doubts is- How much memory does the OS take? (my phone's OS is sapphire 1.6, REL, brand:HiAPK.com).
Do you know any possible way to get exact RAM and ROM of the system?
Thanks in advance.

192 mb is the usable RAM on the 32A, the rest is reserved.
The ammount of RAM depends on the model so if you want to know for sure which one you have you can boot into fastboot and check if it says 32A or 32B.

Hi,
Thanks a lot. Finally I found it. It is 32A.
Thank you very much

Memory address for Unlock Code

I can get the unlock code by entering bootloader, typing dualser and then AT%UREG?3FE00C,4.
Can I get the same info using the mh commands in hte default startup of bootloader?

No, these commands deal with organizer memory, the AT command reads from phone memory. 4MB of flash and 256 kB RAM, completely separate from the organizer, which has 32/64 MB RAM and 32 MB flash.
Thanks
So the Bootloader only gives access to the 32Mb, which obviously contains the Bootloader "mh 18A0" and CE ROM at around mh 41000.
Is there any way to get at the radio memory, other than via AT commands?
Thanks
Many people seem to be of the opinnion that you cannot. I believe there should be a way. After all it is flashed via software. Unless of course the flashing is done via the same RS232 stream. ???

Flash storage usage??

I have searched the forum but could not find something of relevance.
It might sound stupid and maybe there is an easy explanation, but what I just don't understand is the following:
TyTN specs say 128meg ROM, 64meg RAM.
Looking at Start->Settings->Storage it tells me (translating from German):
File storage total: 56.22 megs
Program storage total: 48.80 megs
Then the usual stuff like 'used' and 'available'.
Of course there is the ExtendedROM which shows a total of 9.57 megs.
Where's the 128 megs gone or what am I missing here??? :roll:
Thanks for your help.
Cheers,

the operating system basically. a perfectly intact copy is held in rom so that you can reinstall at any point using hard reset, this image is what you flash when you update your phone (same goes for your radio protocol).
hope this helps

Hello herman3101,
Thanks for your reply! Still a bit confused though. I understood the files stored in the "ExtendedROM" to be those who are used for reinstall.... ???
Even though, why doesn't it show Total ROM 128megs and xxx used???
I guess, I am still something missing :?
Cheers,

The extended rom contains the customizations and patches that your carrier decides to put on, this is the way that different roms vary between carriers. The extended rom does NOT contain the operating system, this in a seperate hidden region of your rom (note that rom in this case has two variations of a meaning, one refers to the physical memory on your phone, the other refers to the image that is placed into that memory)
Think of that part of your memory as being an image of your windows xp cd rom, for normal day to day running its not needed as all the files it needs recide on your hard disk but when you come to reinstall you need to work of the cd. Same principle applies to that part of the rom. apologies if my analogy only makes sense to me, I have a habit of doing that.
Hey herman3101,
Many thanks for your explanation. Yes it does make a lot of sense what you are saying. Still don't understand why HTC does not openly show that, i.e. 128 megs rom, xxx megs used, xxx megs available.
Cheers & great weekend,
StonyA

295MB RAM on the Tmo Mytouch!?

AppManager says I have 295 megabytes of "memory" on my mytouch....does this mean the MyTouch is a 32A? I thought it was 32B!

No. it is a 32B.
the 295MB is Rom not Ram... You only have 192MB RAM
-------------------------------------------------------------
By now i am seriously bothered at how people fail to read!!
ok,
and whats the easiest way to say how much RAM you have?
without installing console emu
Enter fastboot mode by holding the BACK-Button while powering on. PVT32A = 288MB, PVT32B = 192 MB.
thanks!

Nexus One RAM

Hello all,
I seem to have only 256MB RAM on my nexus one.
How I checked the RAM:
Command Prompt -> adb shell
-> cat /proc/meminfo
Gives me a total of 212.
Very strange.
Do a search.
I agree do a search.
Short answer is they held back some Ram on the stock Kernel.
Cyanogen put out a "high-mem" kernel which increased us up to abour 400, but it requires root to flash it.
My mistake, should have done a search first. But looking at 212MB RAM was rather shocking
@seanowns
Thank you.

So I just found that my Mi5s has eMMC 5.1 instead of UFS 2.0

After a year of usage I've run ROM benchmark which resulted in 230MB read and 118MB write (sequential ofc). I also found (and lost) thread on MIUI site. There was a table that compared storage speeds. This results are almost perfect match for eMMC 5.1. also "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" command reported that I have "Toshiba thglf2g9j8lbatrh" memory chip. I could not find it on Toshiba site neither in eMMC section, nor in UFS.
I have a silver 3/64 version, probably one of the first ones, bought it on "11th of November" a year ago.
So go ahead check your devices. Please, let me know what results you will get.
I'm getting 433MB/s read, 131MB/s write (both sequential). Bought my phone in April 2017 and still running Nougat.

Can you please run the command from OP? It requires root though. You can execute it from PC using ADB: you would have to download it if you have not already, then add "ADB shell su " before the command from OP and execute it from command line. You can also do it from device itself: download some terminal app, add just "su " to the command and run it
Same here eMMC on my device, and I bought it in 06.2017... But I am not power user, so I don't care

Sure! I got the same result: TOSHIBA Model: THGLF2G9J8LBATRH
My XiaoMi Mi5s 128gb version , purchased on 13.10.2016 use the KLUDG8J1CB-C0B1 UFS 2.0 memory. I think all 128gb variants use this memory according to this:
http://deviceinfohw.ru/devices/variants.php?model=MI 5s&set_brand=Xiaomi&set_vendor=Xiaomi.
I have the 128 GB version and used A1 SD Benchmark, result of internal memory is:
480 MB/s read and 127 MB/s write
Using the latest official Global ROM 9.2.1.0.
If your device doesn't have enough free space, the io performance will drop off a lot.
Well, it kinda seems like a false alarm. I've conducted more benchmarks and found out that results are heavily dependent on read-ahead value that you can set in Kernel Adiutor at i\o scheduler tab. If it is set to a minimum default value of 128 then you get results that are natural to eMMC 5.1, but as soon as I increased value to 512 and then 1024 I've got 358 and 160 r/w (for 1024) speeds. Values were used in this order 128->512->128->1024. I forgot to take screenshot of 512 and can't compare it to 1024, but it was close to it and really far away from 128. It might be a lucky coincidence, but this parameter is the only thing that was changed between measurements.
Increasing the read-ahead value will increase your RAM usage and keep the flash, in cases of random reads, longer busy and thus can cause lower performance.
I also have Toshiba UFS memory. Read and write are good.
Well, I'm having like 288 MB/s on read, and only 31 MB/s on write, with ~7 GB of free space.
Once you get below 10-15% of free space, the write rate will drastically decrease on every flash based storage type.

Yes, it is. I have similar results.
There is my test results: 3/64GB version, Toshiba, phone bought on 2017-08-14
Well, I found this in a Chinese forum.
