[Q] HD2 Android RAM memory distribution - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi, everybody!
I have TMoUS HD2 and wiki says it has 576mb RAM, though EU version has 446mb of RAM (locked by radio).
"Settings - About Phone" says: Mem info (available/total): 224/411MB
Where is the rest of RAM (576-411=165mb)?
HSPL 2.08
Radio: 2.15.50.14
CLK 1.4.0.1
ClockWork Mod 4.0.0.0
Typhoon v3.4.1

Graphics chip takes 128 as the phone starts regardless what rom is installed, so in real,usable terms tmous has 448, not 576.
As to why another 20some meg vanishes under android, I don't know, but it happens to everyone. We all show 411 under android,

[Q] What is my HD2?

How do i know if my HD2 is the leo 1024 or 512 or Tmous?
If it's a tmous version. it will have a T-mobile logo on top of the screen and a green button for picking up call and red button for hanging up. also, 1024 is the same as tmous
All TMous are 1024
Can you get 1024s on O2 UK, cos I'm running android off SD card, and need to store apps on the phone storage, and it says I have 1gb internal memory? I'm slightly confused, cos it says this in Winmo as well
O2 use the EU 512's
The apps that only run from phone memory need to be installed there, but use app 2 sd to move the apps that will work on the sd card

Like post #2 said if you have a red end/power button and a green send/call button and have T-Mobile in silver at the top of the device right under th ear speacker. Then you have a TMOUS HD2. Also if you had 1024MB in the ROM flash,memory in Settings>About Phone>Hardware Information in Windows Mobile you have a TMOUS.
Where exactly are you lookin at in the settings while in Android to see 1GB of memory? I have a TMOUS and I am running Android from NAND and I only see 411MB of Memory on mime.
I think the OP means he has 1gb memory but i assume means that the data image file within thr android sd build is 1gb .img. This i assume is what is used to store all the apps and.data when running android from SD card (1gb = loads of android storage) If i am correct then the oeiginal 448mb that is reserved for stock winmo and can only be used while booted un winmo...ie...is untouched when running android from the sd card...I Think!

Dang how did I miss the fact he was talking about a SD card build, crap must have been off in la la land when I read that post.
How come when you run Magdlr cwm zips you have a limited amount of memory compared to a sd android build. i thought the tmous had 1gb memory?
Sorry, My bad...my post wasnt in reference to the OPs original question but was instead referencing Nigeldk post
Slightly confused tho as to how or why you can see 1gb internal memory in winmo. are you maybe seeing 1gb avialable storage on your memory sd card while in winmo? Since im sure my EU hd2 only shows 448mb "intenal storage" but in reality only has around 199mb avialable for actual personal programme/media storage. I assume the remainder of the 448mb is given to the actual winmo system apps/files. Dont take my word for it tho as im pretty new to the hd2 and still working things out
MAGLDR had to be compatible with all HD2's that ment that the size was limited to 512MB since only the US tmobile HD2 has the 1G nand.. so what ever you put magldr only wrights to about 512MB
(so ive heard, and makes sense) feel free to correct me

You are correct the DFT had to make MAGLDR compatible with all HD2's. Being that the TMOUS has 1024MB of ROM and the EU HD2's has 512MB of ROM. but I do not think it is limited to 512MB of ROM cause if that was the case you would not have separate ROM downloads for EU HD2's and TMOUS HD2's.
I do know though that MAGLDR was made to work with the TMOUS's 576MB of RAM just like the TMOUS Win Mo ROMs. This is why you have to have a 2.07.50.xx or higher radio with MAGLDR and also why MAGLDR unlocks the extra 128MB of RAM in the EU HD2's
I was probably looking at the wrong thing. It says 576mb in actual fact, which makes more sense. Thank you so much for your help

[Q] magldr+wm7 reflashed to wm6.5 but internal memory reduced

Hi,
I've posted this in general because it covers multiple os's/tools.
Original phone wm6.5
Installed magldr 1.13
Then flashed android used for a month or so... Nice...
Then flashed Windows mobile 7... Nice to but shame about sync...
Decided I need the reliability of wm6.5 and android available on SD card to bot if needed.
So downloaded stock o2 rom reflashed to wm6.5 seems to have got rid of magldr and wm7 for ROM but I'm getting less but my internal memeory for programs seems low.
I'm getting on avaerage 18-30mb of free program memory and now have the occasional out of memory error.
Could it be that some things have not been removed when I reflashed or is that not possible?
You mean the RAM or the ROM?
If it's the RAM then you probably have to flash a radio that enables 576 of RAM.
If it is an Internal Memory issue, You need to remove some apps (?).
Im not sure, report back.
I mean ram and now you say it I did flash HSPL to 2.08 if thats right?
That's correct, but is your radio 2.15.50?
If the rom is 3.14 and the spl ISN'T 3.03.xxxx then ram will drop to 200something total, with 50 or so free, and the phone will be unstable.
If it is 3.14 rom, then use Hspl4 and choose 3.03.0000 or 3.03.hspl and it will fix it, or re flash the 3.14 but using SD card so that it updates spl to 3.03.0000
Just so you can tell me I'm not going crazy about the space. I have recorded some screen shots. I'm also getting programs that should be running in the back ground like pocket shield stopping running.
What does the memory screen say to you?
Did you read my post? Your two bootloader pics show NON 3.03 spls and the rom info shows a 3.14 rom,,,so,I repeat, you cannot ....CANNOT.... run a 3.14 rom on any spl/hspl EXCEPT. 3.03.0000 or 3.03.hspl, because if you do your memory drops to 200.
(This is not true for tmous phones,only regular)
Yes I did read your post. Just wanted more conformation before I started doing thing to it again. Thanks very much for your help I will redo to the spec you have provided and get back to you in the next couple of days with the results.
Thanks.
Does this mean I'll be unable to launch Android from SD card.
Does Android not need 2.08 to work?

HTC HD2 low storage memory

I have HTC HD2:
OS WM 6.5 version: 5.2.2.1916
ROM version: 1.Jun.2011 WWE
Radio version: 2.15.50.14
PB81100 HX-BC
SPL-2.08. HSPL
my hardware info:
RAM size 576 MB
Flash memory size 512 Mb
Storage size: 198,28 MB
My questions are:
1. Why I have such small storage memory ? Total is 198,28 MB and free only 80 MB - is that normal ?
2. today I install android 2.3.7 gingerbread SD card and when I have been trying to install PDF reader from android market it told me that my device is not compatible with this application .. Could somebody tell me why it is that ?
Stock apps are taking up a lot of space, so it leaves you only this much. All the messaging apps, internet explorer etc.
For device not compatible issue, read my post here:

How to unpartition?

Hi All,
After a few failed attempts at nand rom's I have put the tmob wm rom back on my phone.
I partitioned 400mb of the memory when trying to flash the CWM android rom.
I assumed when I installed the original rom back on the phone everything would go back to normal, but it has not. I now only have 400mb of ram not 512. Now sense is playing up & I can only run 1 application at a time.
I have tried to find an answer but cannot, how can I remove this partition before reinstalling the tmob rom?
thanks for your help.
CJ
i think you should task29....
Just looked up Task29, just what I was looking for.
BIG THANKS!
CJ
First thing to mention,,,, there are no 512 ram hd2. Regular is 448 meg ram, tmous is 576 Meg ram.
Next, "sense is playing up...",,,, a 3.14 rom on a regular hd2 without spl 3.03 runs like crap.
If its a reg hd2, and you DO have a 3.14 rom, look in bootloader. If spl doesn't say 3.03.0000 or 3.03.hspl then that's the problem.

Just brought up the multi colour screen (I'm sure it has a name, but I am a bit of a caveman, sorry) It says SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE
from what you said I need to update this??
Thanks in advance...
you already PM'd me to say it worked, so heres a little thread closure.
'changing to spl 3.03 fixed it.'
