My nexus 6 would display that it had 2.9gb of ram but my 6P says 2.6. Is this correct?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
Yes, it shows the same on my phone. Likely, a portion of the total 3GB of built in RAM is dedicated to the GPU or to other subsystems of the phone. Leaving the Android OS the rest of the RAM for it's use. It just so happens the Nexus 6P dedicates more RAM to other subsystem than the Nexus 6.
It also dedicates and encrypts a portion for the fingerprint sensor
Good to know

I bought the nexus 4 8gb. too small i know buts thats what i can afford.
any way can some one explaine why the storage capacitiy is only 6 gb?
thats a real let down.
AW: [Q] A math problem with the storage size?!
It's because the system takes about 2GB of storage. So no "math problem" but some irritating advertisement.

This is no different than any other device. The same is true for any other android device and yes even the iPhone. The system ROM will always require a small portion of available space

As above plus have you ever seen a HDD that was advertised as e.g 500gb and actually had that 500 as usable space

<pedantic>Every 500GB HDD I've seen has at least 500GB of user-addressable space. Though not 500GiB.</pedantic>

No. On the iPhone the nand is larger than what is advertised. If you buy a 16GB phone there is a 20GB+ nand in there so that the user can access the 16GB that was advertised.

Where did you get this? There was a 20+ NAND built in but I could only use 14 in my 16 gig version.

I am talking about the iPhone 5/4/4S
Users that use iDevices get the full space as advertised, probably because it costs more anyways.
Android devices are cheaper so they couldn't care much about delivering whats advertised.
Any how, you shouldn't have any issues with an 8GB N4.
Considering DropBox (You can get 18GB of Dropbox space for as little as $5. I've personally bought it from here http://www.ebay.ca/itm/160943243088?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I don't play games on my phone so that wont waste space either.
I just have about a gig of music on my phone.

My wife has a LG Optimus 4X HD P880
Hardware wise its very similar..
But also has better battery life than my Nexus 4
Physical touch sensitive area/buttons at the bottom (compared to soft buttons inside the screen in Nexus 4 which I dont like anymore)
and expandable storage.
Get the optimus g, it has lte and expandable storage. You can also convert it to a nexus 4 from what I've heard, as it has the same exact internals...

Nexus 10 is not a phone and it doesn't have expandable storage.
The HTC First allows you to turn off Facebook Home, leaving you with unskinned Android.
I'm pretty sure it's got external storage?

Right now the max ram I have free is about ~400, I'm wondering if I can get up to ~600!!?
My ROM is smooth ROM and faux kernel... Any suggestions?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
more ram
i get 522 - 550 by using dx toolbox.
what is the advantage of having 600mb free ram??
I have a nexus 4, which if you know has 2 gbs of ram. Never runs out although my nexus 7's ram drops quickly. More ram means snappier system... Just wanted suggestions on this

Android manages memory differently than a computer. An oft repeated mantra that holds true in this case is ”free ram is wasted ram.” Killing processes simply for the sake of increasing free ram is counterintuitive and only serves to reduce system efficiency.

Back in there day, there used to be a company that you could send your device to, they would desolder your memory and throw in a bigger/faster chip.
Dont know if they still do or the name.

Honestly 2 GB should be mandatory. Its what a couple extra dollars to the consumers...

This is correct. You are wasting your time worrying about whether you have 400 or 600 MB free. If you are completely running out and experiencing huge lags, then it's time to worry.
Is memory leak problem solved in android 4.3?

Which memory leak?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 4
is there an issue? no problem here. are you sure that its not just one of your apps? a badly written app could potentially "leak" memory.

i have never had ram take 1gb. i usually have between 1250-1550 free. right now i have 1327mb free ram. seems like you might need to take some time to take control of your apps. if you have root, greenify(app) will help, autostarts works well too. if you dont control your apps, they start controlling you and your device. personally, id rather be the one thats in control
I now have 0.94 GB RAM free but what does it matter? You have 2 gigs of RAM and its still running buttery smooth.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
The N4 never had a memory leak. Don't worry about how much free ram you have, free ram is wasted ram and using it uses no extra power
Marshmallow / n6p use about 500mb more RAM than my Lollipop / m7 while running same apps.
On bootup with Lux, 500 firepaper and a few other background apps I am using 1.7 gb's of RAM. My m7 was using 1.2 gb's with same configuration.

Thanks. That makes sense. I was getting notifications on low memory during my day to day user.
It wasn't that long ago that I was running Windows with 2gb of RAM 2.7gb if I used the 3gb switch. Now I need a min of 3 for my pocket computer.
N6p uses 64 bit cpu which will use more ram than the 32 bit cpu on the m7.
