Greetings - i found out that there are 2 versions of the HTC universal out there
a 64 MB and a 128MB version.
does this mean the Ram size or the ROM size?
regarding to PDAComparer where they compare the devices - ALL of them have 128MB ROM and 64MB Ram
got a VPA4 from vodaphone
(1) what is the difference
(2) do i have a 64 or a 128 device?
There is no original 128MB version. The ones you see are made by exchanging the 2 32MB ram chips with 64mb ones.
If you don't know, you have a 64MB device. If you bought it new, then it's 64MB, 100%. If second hand, the seller would have told you if he'd made an upgrade.
The difference is less memory problems : being able to run WM6.5.x and having enough memory left over to actually run programs is good. Or so I presume, I don't actually have a 128MB device.

My Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 i s low on memory.if i look at the device information unser settings,what i see is:
CPU:QUALCOMM(R) 7200A
Speed:528Mhz
RAM size:128 MB
Flash size:256 MB
Data bus:32 bits
Storage size:45.18MB
Display resolution:480 x 800
Colors:65536
Bluetooth version:2.0/2.0+EDR
please how do i make it have normal memory because i read that the X1 has an internal memory of 400MB.please help !!!!!
I think that the 256 MB is the normal amount of storage for the X1..
But what I dont understand is your amount of RAM - only 128 MB..?
The normal amount is about 256, or actually 200 in real life.. But 128..??
Are you sure that this info is from an X1..?
My X1 have:
RAM: 256 MB
Flash: 512 MB
i think your unit is faulty
take it back to se .
It could be a prototype or something, i could be wrong though. Don't worry about onboard memory too much, as its going to be next to nothing either way, the RAM is something to worry about however . . .
where did you get it from?
it does sound like a protoype..
You can look behind the battery, think Ive seen that SE has writte "Prototype" on the sticker.
I think it's a prototype too beause the first Xperia Prototypes got 128 MB RAM.
that's weird???
Xperia goes:
QUALCOMM(R) 7200A
Speed: 528 MHx
RAM size : 256 MB
Flash size: 512 MB
Data Bus: 32 bits
hey,
i want to buy atom life (from second hand). Its look very impressive, but it has only 64 MB of RAM. How much free RAM do you have after SR on standard WM6?
And witch rom is best for free memory?
Thanks
no one? Is that hard to check?
You can check the memory and other specification about atom life here...

And yes...its just only have 64MB RAM, but has big 1GB ROM...
i have been planning to buy a hd2, but feel let down by the launch of t-mobile version which has 576 MB ram and 1 GB rom.
all these forums are crowded with possible tweaks for getting 576MB ram.
but i wonder why isnt 1GB rom making the news? its double of what HTC offers to us.
isnt 1GB rom imporant than say 576 MB ram.
sorrry if my question sounds silly, but would be glad if someone points to me the significance of how 128 MB addiional RAM outweighs the 512 MB additional ROM.
no problem...
U can install additional programs to ROM, but u can also install them to StorageCard. As long as the sizes of the new ROMs coming will not grow up, u will always have enough storage on Rom left to install some little apps and hotfixes that needs to be installed to rom.
But more RAM means u can left more things in memory to get quicker access to them and a more responsive (faster) device...(better multitasking) for example.
Compare a Windows XP PC running with 512MB of RAM to another one running 1GB...u will feel a huge difference.
Now compare the 2 machines both with 1GB of RAM but one running a 20GB HDD and the other one a 40GB HDD, and will not feel any difference. But, if u like, u can add another HDD to the machine with only 20GB HDD (same here like Storagecard for HD2)....
Hi Bimme,
thank you for your simple explanation.
Now i also understood what it´s all about RAM and ROM.
That was very usefull.

ya..thanks for the reply. my doubts cleared. but then this makes me ask one more question, why is it that 512 MB rom a limiting factor for win mob 7 as speculated. i mean i can get a decent capacity storage card.
i m really grateful 2 u for answeing my question, i think i will stick to and buy an hd2 this feb. but its jes these small small things that make me reconsider my option.
Or, to make it simpler, I know android can be installed to MicroSD, as a second OS. Does this mean that if our HD2 remains on 512MB ROM, and Win7 requires more, we can install it on MicroSD?
I suppose yes, but we would get in some term slower performances, on the boot, as well as starting applications, but in terms of running apps, it should stay as fast...
Correct me if I am wrong...
Another thing is that it was discovered by accident that the extra ram seems to be available on the euro devices. That caused the hype around that subject, nothing has been discovered about extra rom but that would indeed be great as well...
But yeah, as mentioned. There already was enough ram in the device so the extra ram doesn't give an enormous boost but always nice to have some unexpected extra stuff
I am wondering what is the deal with our HD2 (TMOUS version I have), supposedly our phones have 576mb of ram internally, but on every rom I have tried I am limiting to something much lower according to running services or quaddrant system info, I have flashed 2.15.50.14 radio which is supposed to have the 576mb of ram, from my understanding the phone shares 128mb of ram for video which leaves 448mb to use but I don't even have that according to running services. According to my phone I am using 90mb of ram and 292mb are free which is a grand total of 382mb of ram my phone has access to, where is the other ram?? I am getting really frustrated searching google and stuff trying to find answers, I know its a difference of about 64mb that I think im missing here but its the principle that our phones should have 576mb of ram and im over here getting 382 on every rom I try. Anyone have some ideas on this??
I would like to add that I just checked quadrant system information and this is what it says.
Memory:
Total: 421004 KB
Free: 172356 KB
Inactive: 46692 KB
Doesn't this mean about 50mb of ram is inactive? I don't understand the deal with that.
The missing ram is taken by the GPU.
Please reread my post completely, I think you missed something, I covered the gpu using some of the ram in my original post.
i would say those figures are 421MB total ram, 172MB out of 421MB is genuinely free, and 46MB is loaded with apps that have stopped but not been unloaded from memory.
Example, mine says
421004
80228
85188
i start a few programs and go back to quadrant, and it changes to
421004
85140
88916
As mentioned, the graphics chipset takes up 128 meg, and it grabs it before the OS has even loaded, so it never sees it, so you start with 448MB total. For some reason Android loses 25 or so MB, and so we all (tmous and regular) show total RAM as 422 or so.
As said the system and the GPU takes it. Come on do you think the guys who made linux would really be as stupid as to just leave out some ram for no one to use or for it not be used? Or any person who makes an operating system?
Vega has 512 MB of RAM but the tegra 2 GPU takes 128mb , so "real" Ram memory is 380, as seen on Set Cpu.
on LG device it is possible to change value from 128 to 64 MB RAM of the Tegra 2 SOC,they say initially was set to 64 ,as seen on this post
I assume this "hack" has to be implemented through a kernel change?
Am i wrong?
Could someone with skills have a look into it?
Maybe with more memory apps would run more smooth...
