Available memory

So I noticed on my task killer the most available memory I've seen was like 140. I'd have thought it would be at least double that. Can any one explain this

EDIT: hmmm nevermind... Quick System Info is reporting 245mb's of ram total?

How much RAM does vibrant have?

I know its supposed to have 512mb.
But the app manager program I'm using shows 326.
I'm not complaining, phone is plenty fast but I'm Rom crazy and I'm just making sure I didn't mess something up.

I believe the rest is dedicated to the software and free is 326. I could be wrong ..

I read somewhere that only Froyo can utilize 512 and up.

512mb on device

This
The current .29 kernel has a memory limitation.
Froyo comes with .32 "himem" kernel so when we get froyo you utilize all your ram

i am showing 1.16GB available for application storage.. it this the same?

ROM and RAM are different. When people speak of memory its generally referring to RAM. ROM is the storage space used for apps.

JIT and the .32 kernel would be so nice on this phone.

So does this mean we are not using all the RAM available on the phone!? That's stupid!

I agree.

Unless u run android 2.2, you will not use max 512MB ram capacity. If u installed lag fix, u can use 326MB out of 512MB. Without lagfix, u can only use 256MB out of 512MB!

There is only a bit over 300 mb app ram. The rest is graphivs ram. You won't see 512 ram in froyo because normal apps can't use the graphics memory. Laughable considering the sad shape which is gaming on android.
But hey, you got sims 3!

Question to Froyo users?

Does froyo recognize the full 512mb of ram, if so does this lend itself to better performance

no
it recognizes 340 something or 380 something

What's that other space used for? Why isn't it available?

In the leaked tmo froyo there is 304 available. The rest of it I believe is used for video/graphic procesing and other core processes.

Not the whole 512 but I'm using Eugenes Unofficial TMO 2.2 Froyo and it is a good amount faster, especially browsing.

+1, there are dedicated allocation of ram to certain system needs whether there running or not.
Friends don't let friends flash drunk...

[Q] Am i supposed to have 100mb+ less ram then advertised

The tech specs of the evo are set at 512mb of RAM however my phone only has a total of of 385mb of ram. Is this typical?

That doesn't take into account the OS. Which as you know is loaded into ram on boot.

I don't see how the amount of RAM would affect your purchase...
My recommendation is to stay away from this phone like the plague...
Low internal storage without GB makes this a phone a boat anchor
If your stuck with AT&T and want a hardware keyboard... go with a samsung captivate glide

more than I thought
GSMARENA.COM also said that The HTC Wildfire S has 512 MB of RAM, but in fact, It only has 418 M

It prolly has 512 but... the 100 missing is prolly memory that makes certain hardware features work

ok which version of miui is it? cause they dont directly list the flipside

I would assume without a working cm7... we don't have an miui rom
Sent from my MB508 using Tapatalk

well why say that and get us all excited? lol

There's an MIUI port based on laidaxin's CM7 rom, it's on the same Chinese forum as the CM7 rom. I believe it's fairly early in development, not really ready for daily use.

Why would you guys want MIUI...
CM7 is so much nicer, no?
Sent from my MB508 using Tapatalk

Well id have to say miui and cm are pretty much neck and neck... miui being a little heavier on the hardware end though
