I was wondering where is the rest of the memory but now I have an explanation: "this is how is designed" - LOL
very dissatisfied
Well... what an "answer"... they could've at least said "the ram is used for the GPU" or whatever... not "that's how it is designed"...
Not that I care, but still... not very helpful this video.
Bull****

Its interesting why they felt this explanation was so important that they created a video with a statement like this... Are they afraid of something?

They're trying to say that they wont update Galaxy S to 2.3
They should be, they are liable for a lawsuit. Its like if you bought a car with an advertised 200bhp, had it dyno'd at 120bhp and then they have the nerve to say its working as advertised

Are you effing serious? Galaxy S may indeed be my last Samsung phone.

Ohhh.. many Thanks Samsung for this technical exhausting answer!! How i was so stupid!! now i feel like developer! LOL
sigh
i don't get why people do such big thing over this mem available thing.
will it make you feel better if sgs will show you total: 512, free 200~ ?
Wtf???? I just would like to know: the rest of smartphones are using the same trick or they really show 512mb?

Someone happened to check the desire/desireHD for this aspect?... My wild guess that it's somewhat the same.
It's the same thing with your PC? The user addressable memory is quite a bit lower than what you put in ?
The thing is other phones also advertised as 512mb have 400mb+ useable ram

Every android phone that i know has a reserved memory(for gpu i think). You can check this thread to see the reserved memory on other models:
/showpost.php?p=7179649
So? Different hardware, different memory mapping. The choose a design for whatever reason that they felt secure with. Very hard to second guess that without knowing what happened in development. Especially if you don't have a background in embedded hardware design. Furthermore there is a "fix" where some of the memory allocation is free'd up.
This really doesn't deserve a ****storm.

YES! it will make me feel much better!! at least coz i will know that my phone REALLY have 512MB or not! this is so annoying just coz its pretty obvious on every other smartphone how much RAM they have.. exept galaxy S!!!

In case your board uses an onboard display adapter - yes. the onboard display adapter uses up to 128mb of your installed RAM, usually.

Have any of you thought about maybe getting the g2x? any good reasons why not?
I'm going to buy it. Has my Mytouch 4G beat in every aspect I care about minus Cyanogen support. Hopefully that will come later.

No it doesn't. The G2x only has 512MB of RAM versus the MT4G's 768.
im getting the g2x. ill be in vegas when it comes out. i heard the 15th and than i heard the 20th. ill arrive in vegas on the 16th so hopefully it does launch and i can find the nearest tmobile store. im putting my iphone and mytouch online to trade for one if i go for broke in vegas lol.
how can such a "high end" phone have so little ram?

Good question. I was surprised to read that myself. 512MB is like going back to early 2010 when the Nexus One came out. I would expect most new high end devices coming out today to have 768MB or 1GB.
Just wait for the pyramid or the HTC sensation. Same phone.

Honestly, the myTouch 4G is plenty enough power for me. There is no app alive that can bog this phone down. **** ton of RAM and nice second gen cpu. Dual core is nice but not needed. I'll wait till my contract ends and there's probably gonna be like quad cores out by then lol.

I feel the exact same way. My contract just expired, but there aren't any phones out yet that I'd rather have. The other issue is not knowing what will happen with the network and phone compatibility. I probably won't get a new phone until the TMO/ATT merger is final.
I'll be sitting at Tmobile the second they open getting the G2X. It's too much of a beast not to.

I talked to a buddy of mine that works for tmobile, and he said that it's going to be at least a year before the merger is finalized, and even then changes aren't going to be right then.

True. So possible a year and a half before u see any changes. Im getting the g2x and getting rid of whichever I think isnt better. I want a dual core though.

512 mb of ram is large enough, it's just a phone not a real PC. there are no apps available or in development that will require you to have big amounts of ram.
cyanogen just said on his twitter account that this will be his next phone.

so this is a great Plus.

I repeat, every aspect I care about. 512MB is plenty. Something else that is pretty sick is that it supports At&t 3G bands so I will be buying this phone unlocked to help futureproof my device.

I think I will have to get the G2x. From what everyone is saying, the stock 2.2 sounds like it is so smooth that it will make it easy to wait for Cyan development. I would also imagine that it would be that much easier for LG to release 2.3 OTA. Anybody know what LG's history is on OTA support?

You know what this means.... FULL Cyanogenmod access! By Cyanogen himself, not his team. That will be great! LOL
I thought about pre-ordering on the 15th, but it probably won't get to me until the 20th anyway (since the 15th is a friday, sometimes T-Mobile surprises us before the release date), so I might just wait to go to the store in the morning.

The reason T-Mobile took the UI from Optimus 2x off the phone is so it will be easy to update to 2.3, since that's what it was suppose to originally ship with. Google will be the one releasing 2.3 OTA, not LG so don't worry.

LG just got in to the high tech game of mobile phones so we will have to wait and see about otas.

Just because no single app uses that much, doesn't mean that a device's performance doesn't increase when more RAM is present. RAM is something you can never have too much of, and in today's world, 512MB for a smartphone is paltry.

I like the part that says "performance boost"
Lets hope motorola doesn't delay this any longer.
Not only should they not delay it, but when it actually comes out I hope Bell doesn't delay it either! I imagine they have to load their own bloatware onto it?..

watched a review of it on the droid x2 and it only leaves like 1xxMB RAM free. LOL. its so crappy (on that phone) i reallllllllllllly hope its different, and more optimized on our phones. a guy said it runs worse than the froyo blur on the droid x2. -_-
The droidx2 has a pathetic 512 MB of ram to begin with. Its a droid X with a dual core processor and a differnt display. That's it.
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is. This post might have errors as I hate touchscreen keyboards.

oh damn, but still. i didnt know that, but really. sense usually is the "RAM hog" but this seems worse.
I saw the official estore of Samsung India. In their website it is mentioned that note 10.1 has only 1 GB ram? Is it a mistake or the indian model has been stripped down? Share your Opinions!!

Sir, you posted the question in 2 threads. MODs should close one of them.
Back to topic: I think it's an obvious mistake.

Another website stating its 1 gb.

Maybe the indian version has lower Ram. If thats the case i have to say its very puzzling that samsung has changed one of the phone's USP.
Also any news on the 64GB variant? AFAIK, only 16/32 GB was officially launched today.!!
Note 10.1 is definitely 2GB

Creating a swap file on a flash storage device will probably reduce the flash chip's lifespan. Besides, what kind of amazing power hungry apps do you use that require more than 1GB of RAM?

That's true there aren't any that require over 1GB but i would like a little more smoothness when loading intensive apps but if it's true that it reduces the lfiespan of my ram then that app is a no go unfortunately
What cr*p are you talking about Samsung advertising our phone with 1GB when its not?
You think they can do that legally?
Do some research before you make assumptions which are not true. The reason you will never see full 1GB capacity is because some is reversed for the system OS etc.
Research before posting.

I stuck a 1gig ddr2 RAM stick from my PC in to the USB port on the phone but the phone is only showing 1.8gig!

I apologize, no need for my attitude. You might want to change your OP now though to avoid further confusion.
