when comparing the hd2 with other devices with only 512 mb ram on system info it hd2 shows (422mb ) on other devices it shows (488) which is higher also hd2 has 576 mb ram which is higher than 512 , that makes me believe that 576 is not really functioning on android
I supose, the 40 or 60mb remaining, are for graphics memory, or system proceces.
I'm not sure.
But if now dont have 575mb... never we get all the ram

it is more tahn 40 to 6o we are missing allot about 154 mb ram , i will ask at the desire forum and know what they get (as same ram amount as hd2 )
i beleave there are a few ppl out there who have the full 575 mb running. One big but thoug u wil need a radio with the 575 mb in windows mobile. If not your phone is soft locked on the 488mb

does radio in wimdows mobile has any thing to do with ram amount in android , can any one confirm having more than 422 mb ram when using 576 mb enabled roms

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?
We have been using 192 mb ( i'm not certain) of RAM in every port of android.... but we all know our photon has been equiped with 384 mb of RAM can't we mapped the whole RAM for the android porting yet... i think now we can map it for faster android experience.
Developers can't it be done? or we have to run our photon android on 192 mb of ram forever....

192? I see that 280mb total ram in android, almost as WM (296).
I use American Android build and I want to use all my ram, we're supposed tohave 512 mb but with almost everything but the essentials closed I only have 250 - 260 available at best. I have some apps that use a lot if juice to run like gta3 and I can't get it to run smoothly. What can I do?

250-260 is very good. I only get around 250 straight after startup, and generally 180. Think about it logically, how the hell are you supposed to get 512 mb of free RAM when the entire OS has to utilise it? Have some common sense
( its not 512mb starting total, its 576 less 128 gfx less the 20/30 meg android somehow loses = 411-420 meg total ram, and then subtract whatever the system components use)
I have T-Mobile HD2 with T-mobile logo and colored buttons. But ram size and device memory size shown low in hardware info. I have 2.0.8 HSPL.
Is this a fake T-Mobile..
Hardware info:
RAM: 403 MB
Device Memory:663MB
SD:14,2 GB
running android? all hd2's show around 400 - 411 meg ram when running android.
Also, the first 128 meg is taken by the graphics hardware, so it is only showing 40meg lower than expected, not 160+
Yes andoroid is running on it, I read about 128MB ram but still 40 MB is lost. and why device memory is 663MB . mgldr and clockwordmod is also installed , is it related with them. Is there a way to see the physicall memory from android .
thanks for the replies

yep, same for us all.

only the data partition gets counted towards internal storage memory
I have a TMOUS hd2, and specs say TM version has 576 mb of ram, and eu version has ~450 mb ram and ~128 mb ram is reserved for Gpu , which can be unlocked, acoording to some reading i did on net ..
But when i check my ram in app manager it shows only ~410 mb , what is using the rest of ram?
Not only that , different task managers show different amount of total ram, some say 400, some 410 , 420 or 430, but none more than that..
i m using aokp ics build 35 rom.
All android roms show something between 410 and 430 on reg and tmous.
You only have 30 or so missing, cos 128 is taken by the graphics at boot.
As to why, never seen an answer whenever this gets asked(im sure you looked at the dozens of identical posts before you decided to ask it again, right? ), it just 'is', , we all show the same, yours is no different to anyone else's.
I tried to search, but all threads those came up were for other phones. None for hd2. Well if everyone's hd2 is showing same amount of ram then it's a big relief. I was thinking only mine is screwed.
