Hi, anybody know why my P3300 user's manual states in it's specs: "System Information: Memory: ROM 128MB, RAM 64MB SDRAM"
But look at my attached print screen: an image of my Battery Status screen showing I only got 48MB Total program memory (RAM?) and 37.6MB Total storage memory (ROM?)
What's wrong, or has HTC given me less MBytes?
(PS: My storage card is Sandisk 2GB MicroSD)
(PS2: Also attached image of HTC original Memory Usage-screen showing the same)
Any help would be appreciated, or sent me your screenshot of having true 128MB ROM and 64MB RAM according to the user's manual. (Then I can complain againt HTC)

Because some of the memorary is used when u install a program (this includes the ROM)
OK
OK I know that.
But the thing is: look at the picture. It says program mem = 27.97 used from a TOTAL of 48MB!
And storage mem = 26.69 used from a TOTAL of 37.6MB
Shouldn't these TOTAL values be more like the ones stated on the specfications list in the user's manual idd: 128MB (ROM) and 64MB (RAM)????
I mean: 48 + 37.6 = 85.6 Where can I find the 128 + 64 = 192 TOTAL MEGABYTES OF MEMORY????? I only get to 85.6!
Waiting for your responses,,,,

Hi all, I'm new here and currently I have o2 xda IIs device.
First of all I'm sorry if this topic posted before (I did try search but couldn't find the answer )
I see that the main memory is divided into "Storage" and "Program"
Here's my memory allocation structure:
Storage - 54.07 MB (31.92 MB in use)
Program - 71.70 MB (21.18MB in use)
And here are my questions:
1. What is the contents in storage? (I'm still trying to figure out the purpose of the internal storage inside main memory).
2. What's eating the space (31.92 MB in use) in the storage of main memory?
3. Is there any ways to make the memory allocation more efficient?
Currently using Shipped o2 Asia 1.40 ROM.
All help will be appreciated, thank you in advance.
hello there
i found the program memory to be fixed to 50.16MB , and i failed to reallocate it (the slider wouldnt move :roll: ) :? , so , any hint ????
thanks
No, in Windows Mobile 5 program memory and storage space are physically different, so you can't change the allocations.
Program memory = RAM memory
Storage space = entirely Flash memory (used to be mostly RAM in PPC2003 devices).
I am looking thru some roms, and whatever ... i see some that have storage and programs free space. This is just one, the last one i looked at before having had anough of the confusion.
Here is what the rom lists
Free Storage: 224.62
Free Program: 70.83 (Manila Running) 78.06 (Titanium Running)
Total storage on my tilt 2 is 225.93 !!!!!! This doesnt make much sense to me. If i install that rom, i will have all of my internal storage free??????????????????
And my program used will be about tha same as i have now??? Well, with a reboot first
The storage (FLASH) of TP2 (and Tilt2 as well, I guess) is 512MB, what you see is what left after the system/being available for programs you would install in so called "internal memory".
Same for program (RAM) - the total is 256MB (plus 32MB for radio section) and what you see (70MB etc.) is a free memory for programs you would run.
More is better, of course, but who cares on "internal memory" when one can fit a card with 32GB of capacity...?
A free RAM is an issue however, so please judge on it rather when choosing a system to install ;-)
Regards.
I have little background in traditional PC hardware. So if some one says their computer specs are 3Ghz dual core, 4 GB ram, 1TB hard drive I can understand it.
Say my EVO specs are:
1 GHz Scorpion processor, Adreno 200 GPU, Qualcomm QSD8650 Snapdragon chipset
Internal 512 MB RAM; 1 GB ROM
I am guessing your EVO has the same specs.
So what is my RAM?
and What is my internal storage?
__________________________________________________________________________________________________
I installed Quick system Info pro and it gave me the following specs:
SD Card storage: 7.39 GB, Free 6.8 GB
A2SD Storage : 211MB , Free 65 MB
Internal Storage: 426 MB , Free 291 MB
System Storage: 350 MB Free 68.2 MB
System Cache : 160 MB , Free 157 MB
Memory : 415 MB , Free 109 MB, Idle 14.61 MB
Can some one please take a look at the above stats and tell me what they mean and what can I do to increase my performance as far as making my phone snappier/faster?
____________________________________________________________
Is that "disk" space or RAM available? Or am I talking completely different things?
If I uninstall apps, this space is freed, will my phone be snappier too becuase of increased space? Is RAM == Disk space in these phones?
ANyone help me out understanding this?
Also, I installed apps2sd and I move whatever apps I can to sd card but not all? This was before I rooted the EVO. so
does apps2sd doesnot require root? Then why doesnt google do that by default?
Finally, I rooted the phone using unrevoked recently, is there a way for me to move the remaining apps to sd card which did not move when the phone was un rooted?
Sorry for the barrage of questions. Its saturday and I meant to ask these questions for a long time so I guess I will do the due diligence today.
Thanks guys!

From the overall memory, 512 MB are for use in storage while another 512 MB are for RAM. These are hard limits, freeing one does not necessarily means adding to the other.

See above. There are ways to make the phone more responsive: installing a new kernel can help OR using an overclocking app such as setCPU or juice defender. Obviously, faster phone == faster battery drain in most cases.

Google's app2sd and the app2sd included with certain custom roms (darktremor's) are different things: the google one can only move the app IF the app itself supports it, in some cases ONLY the data associated with the app is moved not the actual app. This does not require a separate EXT2/EXT3 partition.
Darktremor's A2SD works by moving the entire app and its data to the SD card by creating a link to the SD card, the issue with this is that the SD card MUST be partitioned and EXT3 formatted in order to work properly. Not the entire SD card must be partitioned, only a small fraction of it (512 MB).
Finally, I rooted the phone using unrevoked recently, is there a way for me to move the remaining apps to sd card which did not move when the phone was un rooted?

Yes, you can run the command using a computer with ADB installed OR from a terminal emulator: apps2sd reinstall. After you run it, it will reboot the phone OR it will display any errors that prevent A2SD from running properly. You must already have the SD card partitioned in order to use this. Note that you must run the command on 'root' mode or it will display error msgs everywhere that might not be connected with the real error. So make sure you run su first (unless the command prompt already runs in root mode).
i really do not know enough to fully explain it to you.
but if you take all the info you have and add it up you will find all you RAM and ROM.
about 1.5 gb of memory.
Internal Storage: 426 MB , Free 291 MB
System Storage: 350 MB Free 68.2 MB
System Cache : 160 MB , Free 157 MB
Memory : 415 MB , Free 109 MB, Idle 14.61 MB
android takes your phone memory (not sd card) and splits it ... to use as it sees fit.
if you are low in memory because you have too much installed..
when you uninstall apps.. you do free space for the phone to you and will see better performance.
but from your posted info.. your phone should not see any performance issues. I dont see issues till my free storage memory falls below 120 mbs.
you do have memory lost that you nor your phone can use:
System Cache : 160 MB , Free 157 MB
and there should be a few others too... about 200mb lost.
there is a way to get it back, but it is not for NOOBs to try.
Search in the development forum of evo ... for firerat partition mod.
hi, My smartphone model is Nokia XL Dual SIM, Software Version 1.2.3.2, Nokia X Software Platform 1.2. I am facing the issue that is maximum low internal memory is 1.12 gb only. But Before buying the product or before installing all android apps into my smartphone, I have 4 GB internal memory(maximum allowed size). But after installed apps, the size is 1.12 GB(maximum allowed size). I have cleared cache, junk files everything. All are fine. but it shows 1.12 GB (max allowed size). I am suffering to install new apps because minimum free space is 43 MB only. Where the remaining 2.7+ GB gone in the internal memory? Please help me to get back to previous allowed size 4 GB. What are the steps required to achieve it?
Thats just a delusion.
You never saw 4GB internal memory available on your phone.
By default, Nokia XL has 1.12 GB phone memory (internal sdcard, sdcard0) and 1.18 GB internal memory (/data partition). That gives you 2.3 GB.
The remaining 1.7 GB is inaccessible as it is used by the system.
