give me your opinions about the Samsung Focus RAM
According to Microsoft, the RAM is 512.
Not sure who to believe MS, or the general interweb information.
M.
I emailed Samsung PR and they said it will have 512MB of RAM.
Thank you all guys
you gave me hope!!!!!!

Yea I just hope they didn't get it confused with the ROM size... AT&T has a PDF spec sheet that says 256MB. Only time will tell I guess.
Well I emailed Samsung PR again and got a response that makes me weary about the 512MB of RAM email I received. I asked how much ROM space (not storage space) the phone will have and got 8GB. I even stated in the email not to confuse with the 8GB of user storage. So it could in fact have 512MB ROM, 256MB RAM. Man, I hope Microsoft's WP7 website is right.
If that's the case, I may have to get the Surround even though I don't want to...

That's exactly my line of thinking - surround instead of focus if the focus only has 256mb of RAM.
But, watching the videos of the focus it looks as fluid as the other 512mb RAM phones.....maybe 256mb is all you need. Particularly given the fact that the Windows OS spreads across RAM (inc. the memory card).
The Focus will have 512mb not 256mb. This is a specific Microsoft WP7 requirement.

I hope you're right. Because I saw the specs that Microsoft required a minimum of 256MB. AT&T has a spec sheet that shows 256MB as well. I want AT&T to be wrong and MS website to be right.
Every review I've seen today shows only 256mb of ram. With the lack of 3rd party multitasking apps I don't see this as being a major problem. Having said that I would have liked the phone to have 512mb just in case. You can never have too much ram.

You're wrong WP7 specific requirement is 256mb of ram or higher. 8gb of storage or higher. Did you see the keynote 6 months ago. The LG quantum being released on At&t will also have 256mb of ram. The surround will have 512 with 448mb available to the user.

I stand corrected.
Samsung Focus is the phone I want to get without settlling. THe HD7 is a little too big for me, I might as well get a tablet. However like a few people here, I might have to settle for the HTC Surround if the Focus does indeed only have 256MB RAM.
Sure it may be acceptable now with 256MB but MS could release Windows Phone SP1 or SP2 with multitasking enabled. I also know too many iPhone users who will gloat if I get a phone with less RAM than theirs. I am still up in the air and wish the decision were easy if the Focus had 512MB RAM or the Surround had a microSD slot.
If I do get the Surround, it looks like I will need to sell this 32GB microSD card I just purchased..
The thing is Microsoft recently updated their 'at-a-glance' WP7 site to correct inaccuracies and it still shows the Focus at 512MB RAM.
[www dot microsoft dot com/presspass/presskits/windowsphone/glance.aspx]
Yes! Engadget confirmed the RAM is 512MB and the ROM will be 1GB! The Samsung PR lady that emailed me was right.
Engadget Focus Review
Engadget.com just updated their review earlier today saying the Focus has 512 RAM and 1GB ROM. Which is.good to know.
Also said, unlike any other WP7 phone, you can expand memory using micro sd slot. Only problem is it supposedly wipes your device every time you put one in or take it out. So don't take it out.

Microsoft's website shows the same RAM & ROM. So there's a good chance it will.
Good news indeed. This and the GPS (concerns it would suffer the same as the Galaxy S devices) were the only two things holding me back from this device. Now, November 8th can't get here soon enough.

This video review says it has "8 gigs of internal memory"

He certainly says it has 8 gigs of internal memory but as far as I am aware it has a 512mb rom and is expandable with microSD, interesting but I would bet that he is wrong
Wow oh wow, 8GB internal Memory
Let's hope that it's should have internal memory, and this video is not a fake make up...

well if you believe it HAS 8GB internal, over stated it HAS a 8GB SD card shipping, then believe away!
my 2 cents: it doesn't have 8 Gb internal, it doesn't have an SD card.
...It has a microSD SLOT SD 2.0 compatible where - today - you can put an 8 Gb micro SDHC card (....which i already have) and, in the future, up to 32 GB max capacity...
If - for commercial reasons - they would add a microSD card to any unit i would be happy but i doubt it: i already paid my blackstone in www.digitec.ch and this is what they expect to sell and i expect to buy:
Internal Memory: 288 MB RAM, 512 MB ROM
Memory Expansion: microSDHC
...which is not different from official HTC specifications!!!!
...and remember that they need to differentiate from the Iphone and if they would put 8 GB "ONLY" then "smart reviewers" will start say "the iphone 3g has more memory"...
Said this - this is just common sense. I have no direct information apart from HTC and vendors.
What is the actual RAM in the device?
The X1 has 384 MB RAM but you'll note that the device information screen says 256MB. This is because the X1 also has an additional 128MB RAM that's only accessible to the CPU/3D chip. There isn't really anyway way to know this apart from taking SE's work although HTC also confirm this but we're looking for a way for end users to verify for themselves

"There isn't really anyway way to know this apart from taking SE's work although HTC also confirm this but we're looking for a way for end users to verify for themselves."
So, performance seems confirm the presence of 128mb of vram, but for now we cannot be sure of that

Correct. Android 1.6 can only handle 256MB (i think anyway). Its like Windows XP and the 3.2GB RAM limit - sure you can put more than that in the machine but it will only see the maximum amount it can use.
384 but close enough ;-)

can anyone see the size of the RAM being increased over time, perhaps not with 2.1 but in the future, only reason i'm asking is because this is one of the few 1ghz high end phones with less than 512mb of ram and this is a requirment for android 3.0. thinking ahead here . it's just dissapointing to know :/
i'm still very excited about 2.1's arrival which i have been searching for almost every day
just got my xperia x10 last week after a long hard choice between that and the HTC desire and i've never really been a Sony Ericsson fan as all my old phones had software issues and crashed a lot, not what i expected.
Any way it really is a brilliant phone but like everyone says 'the outdated software' is the phones only major dissapointment.

there have been some posts on websites about the recommended requirements, which to be fair seems a bit steep for a mobile operating system, now unfortunately i can't past the link you'll have to Google 'android 3.0 recommended requirements' or something similar
details below
Android 3.0 Gingerbread will be released in mid- October (around 15 -16th), 2010. First handsets shipping in November/December – for the Holiday Season.
Minimum hardware requirements for Android 3.0 devices are: 1GHZ CPU, 512MB or RAM, displays from 3.5” and higher. (We all, of course, heard that Android handsets with 2GHz CPU’s are coming)
New 1280×760 resolution available for the devices with displays of 4” and higher. (Anyone thinking about Android tablets now? )
Completely revamped user interface. If you want to get a feeling of what Android 3.0 Gingerbread UX is like, check out the Gallery App on Nexus One. The same overall feel, light animated transitions,etc. Natively, through all the UI.
Android’s split into 2 branches becomes official. 3.0 for top of the line/high end devices. Cheap, low-end mass market handsets will keep Android 2.1/2.2
Eldar also confirmed my musings about the death of third party User Interface shells like HTC Sense, MotoBlur, etc;. Android 3.0 basically kills the need for them.
Still, there’s some hope for third party vendors here – while Google takes over the UI on the high end, vendors get to keep their UI shells/improvements on mass market Android smartphones, running Eclair or Froyo.
Update: I posted an update to this post, where I address Dan Morrill’s tweet, and do some corrections/clarifications regarding the upcoming Android update number issues, “minimum” specs – thay are actually only “recommended”, and the the split between high end Android 3 – low end Android 2.2 devices – it’s not an official Google policy, but it is happening nonetheless.
When I run diskusage it shows me having 465 for data so it looks like we dont even get 512. Will the 2.1 update let us install all this stuff on the sd card?
HI I have bought the DVP 16 GB here in India i have the copy paste function in my venue but the phone freezes while downloading apps from marketplace or xbox live, also my venue has 512MB ram need help.

If so it may be sd card OR its yet again...dell
get it exchanged immediately
but before that can you run a webserver and pull the em.xap file and upload it for notebookgrail?

They wont get away with it in the UK, from trading standard to angry users they will get a ton of bad press, maybe worse. We could be possibly seeing the end of dell in the smartphone arena, and frankly I cant say they will be missed.
480 is the average reading of any other wp7 with 512mb, as some memory is used by the OS and is excluded by this you will never read 512 here. So I think this reading means they did fix the ram issue (phones with issues report approx 225mb!) on the units sold in India.

It is highly unlikely they re-did the fab process to add more RAM. Very much out of the realm of possibility.

HTC's done it in the past with different versions of the Diamond with different amounts of RAM. There seems to be an extraordinarily high level of confidence in Dell to somehow add extra RAM with a software update, and after all that we've seen from them that is highly surprising.
I'm assuming the the NoDo DVPs in India isn't finalize, otherwise MS would of release the update sooner. Lets ALL be Patience and wait for the Official Release.

The Indian version also has an updated firmware. That is why we are holding out that Dell fixed it in a firmware update we are waiting to get.
We won't know for certain though until NoDo releases for the rest of us.

I agree, but after 4 swaps its hard to be anything but pessimistic when it comes to Dell solving this problem. And we've already had one report of someone with the newer batch from India having the same freezing so I'm not optimistic. Especially when it still could be the best WP7 device available, but Dell just doesnt seem to give to flying figs and will probably move on to the Wrigley device and try and bury the whole DVP fiasco, along with its users.
Guys just tell me how to extract the xap file for u guys. I am going in for the replacement to a Dell service center lets see how things roll out. Regarding the NO-DO update there is a small error u cant just copy paste any text for example i had to copy some text from a mail and i could not see the copy paste functionality also its still not available in some apps some notes app. You can only copy paste it from messages and web pages. The crashes just got worse plus dell is not acknowledging the problem in India.

I'm sorry....but ...huh?
What do you mean not final? And if its not final, how did they get Dell, or anyone else to release it?
What I beleive we are seeing is:
The contents of update #2...the NODO update.
We saw #1, build 7008
NODO could be update #2, build 7355( if I recall that number correctly)
Could there be a Update #3 in store, for those fixes that occured since the NODO build went out?
Before we speculate...here's my reasoning.
In order for Dell to ship this build on a new device, they need, say 8 weeks preparation. The 8 weeks is to make a point...I really don't know the time needed. But if its 8 weeks....then the NODO build would have been handed off to dell around Christmas.
But that also means the update schedules, the bug fixes and stuff spoken about at MWC and CES, would NOT have been included in this build.
Another point, in the US, we see Sprint opting for a March 20 launch date for WP7. I assume NODO. Verizon will follow behind that...I heard dates from 3/20 to 4/20. In order to make the new builds effective, there almost has to be another update planned, POST NODO, Post Sprint/Verizon launch....just to cover any NODO fixes....if you buy into the Christmas hand off.
To me this makes sense. Only time will tell...thats for sure.
I just went to the Dell Service center and they said they havent heard of any such issues with the phone, they also did not have replacement unit in stock they said i will have to wait minimum 4-5 working days. Guys i want to ask an honest question is the hd7 better and stable phone than this i love WP7 but i cant stand this phone or dell anymore. What do you guys say.

Honestly, the one thing you will notice is the hd7 screen is worse but for stability there is no contest, the hd7 and in fact all other wp7 devices are vastly more stable than the Dell.
So true but I am stuck, but Dell has agreed to give me a replacement unit tomorrow. The dealer said he will replace the DVP with HD7 if the replacement unit is defective.

Good afternoon,
I posted this question on another droid tablet related forum, but I have been unable to find an answer, so either I am really dense and asking a really dumb question (hooray for me then) or no one knows the answer... yet!
I am hoping this is an I D 10 T error on the users part because I already had one defective Transformer and am not looking forward to a second return, but here goes me hoping for an answer!
When I pull up running apps on my tf101 under settings, it shows I only have a total of 562 megs of ram. It usually fluctuates at about 112 megs being used and 450 free adding up to well below 1 gig of ram. Doesn't the tf101come with 1 gig of ram? Is part of the ram locked down for future updates, or am I in possession of a defective tablet?
Thanks in advance.
I should mention I have the 16 gig version with a 16 gig mini memory card plugged into the unit (PNY brand I believe if it matters). I have upgraded to Honeycomb 3.1, and show no available updates from ASUS (I also have not rooted my tablet it is running stock OS no funny business here!).
There is 1G of ram TOTAL, but this is shared with the video carveout, framebuffers, and probably a few other things that need shared system memory.

Thank you, I was kinda assuming that it was just ram being locked down for other processes and unusable, but thought I better ask some experts since I had some terrible luck with my first tf101.

I am hoping this is an I D 10 T error on the users part because I already had one defective Transformer and am not looking forward to a second return, but here goes me hoping for an answer!
When I pull up running apps on my tf101 under settings, it shows I only have a total of 562 megs of ram. It usually fluctuates at about 112 megs being used and 450 free adding up to well below 1 gig of ram. Doesn't the tf101come with 1 gig of ram? Is part of the ram locked down for future updates, or am I in possession of a defective tablet?
Thanks in advance.
I should mention I have the 16 gig version with a 16 gig mini memory card plugged into the unit (PNY brand I believe if it matters). I have upgraded to Honeycomb 3.1, and show no available updates from ASUS (I also have not rooted my tablet it is running stock OS no funny business here!).

The 562 M bytes of RAM you refer to (Actually a 562MB portion of 16 Gb SD flash) is allocated for app storage, the remainder for app data ,music, photos etc. The 1gb RAM you mention is used for program execution,display etc. In addition Android 3.1 does some strange and undocumented dynamic Flash allocation for app stotage. get free disk usage app for detailed memory usage

Well, actually, there's 1GB of RAM, and then 16GB of flash storage. They're not the same.

Thats what I said but flash would have been a more excepted word vs SDRam .Edited original post to clarify.
