[Q] HTC ONE V does not have 512MB RAM as described? - HTC One V

Hello,
I've encountered a strange thing on my HTC ONE V. When I check how much memory this device has (app SETCPU or any other app), it says 365560kB (MemTotal), which is not equal to 512MB. Now I know that the amount of ram in kilobytes and megabytes isn't exactly the same, but 512MB can't come to 357MB (366000kB=357MB) just like that.
So... does anybody have an answer to this? I've posted my question to HTC forums about a month ago, but no one bothered to answer my question.

I asked this question before.
Take a look at this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106809

Looking for a rom without mem leaks and battery drains

Is there a rom which does not have these 2 problems?
I don't care if it is official, cooked, lite, clean.
Up to now I've tried the official and the latest one from bepe.
The official seems to have the battery problem, and bepe's seems to have both.
Now I'm going to try ADW version 1.1 .
Please post your experiences concerning these two bugs so we can save time on flashing our devices constantly.
Thanks
I am using AX3L 3.1.2.c Lite for some while now and have never experienced issues like these. (free memory stable at 28 MB and battery life beats 72 hours).
To me Mary 3.3.5 SL and AXEL 3.1.2.c Lite.
These are the ones I use over and over,battery is pretty good and so is memory,maybe someone doesn´t agree with me but this is just what I think or maybe is because of the third party apps I use.
thanks for your input.
I'm now going to try the new pdaviet one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=352550
even if its revision is fake, it might be worth it.
I'll post my findings
Hey guys.
I have this stupid doubt,long time ago in this forum was rumoured that one of the X-buttons was the reason of a battery leak.
Does anyone remember some of this or knows anything about?
Thanks.
What do you mean 'one of the X buttons'?
as I understand, the pdaviet rom has 3 big advantages:
*fixes the password and account corruption bug
* battery lasts more than other roms (but i'm still not satisfied)
* no memory drain
what other roms meet these specifications?
I'm very happy with this rom except from the fact that they always customize dialers, icons etc.
oh and video calling is not working (even if you change the dialer)

The X button is window task manager or HTC task manager.....
Are you sure about it? can you let me know how to check it?

Sorry widigol,I don´t know how to do it,this were old rumors posted in this forum long time ago....it was just a question in case someone remember.
I remember a battery drain due to SD Card... enabling its power management reduced the power drain.

I believe it was a setting... Some of the Rom's had the default set to minimize when tapping the "X" rather than close, switching the setting to Close on Tapping "X" resolved the problem of not keeping multiple applications constantly opened, thus many were reporting memory leaks... but it was probably just utilitizing too many resources...
However, new versions of the HTC Task Manager, can't really remember 2.xx or something had issues which did not save settings after tapping the "X".
I'm not sure if this is what you are referring to, but just my 2 cents... It's been awhile...
Good luck in your search
Thanks for your response and that nice explanation.

Question about lag

I have installed the RickyWyatt Kavana V20 ROM and I am wonderring if any one if experiencing problems with scrolling through the main screen or selecting thing's because every time I scroll I have to wait a second or two for the phone to scroll.
Hopefully there is a way to fix this problem because the ROM look's awesome but it is really slow for me.
Thank you in advance.

Have you checked the memory? I believe that Ricky referenced this when he put out Rom 20
Thank you in advance.

You will need to ask Ricky but I believe that the answer is you have to many panels and need to disable some of them.
Or... overclock your CPU a little bit. Look in the Tools folder for the OMAP clock program. I'd recommend about 204 for good battery life and a little increase in perfomance. Go 240 if you want more performance but shorter battery life
where about's is the Tool's folder I can't seem to find it on the phone?
On the Start menu ?!?
isnt it "accesories" in the start menu?
Well in my version of Rick's ROM it's in "My Tools".... either way... it shouldn't take a rocket scientist to find an installed application in the start menu.
not tryying to sound like a dumb ass but in Accessorie's it's not there either (I am usseing V20)

Never mind I found it sorry I was blind I guess.
Also I am wondering how to change the menu's around (if possible) it's not that I am to lazy to figure it out myself but I am worried I might mess around with something I shouldn't be messing around with. What I mean about changing the menu's is how to add and delete blade's from the main screen.
Thank you guy's for your time it is very much apprecciatted.
Also can I put a SDHC card in my phone? How about a 4 GB SD card or is 2GB the limit?
sorry I had to repost but I have one more question, is setting the frequency to 288 alright for my phone? Is there any chance it will mess it up?
It will lockup your phone and never recover. Stay below 250...
p.s. Rearanging "blades" and start menu folders may be a little over your head right now. Do a little more reading first....
And yes you can use SDHC cards in your phone...

I wouldnt push the envelope of oveclocking your phone past 240 or 252mhz
some people can get away with higher numbers it seems. others have issues with the phone locking up and then wont boot up...forcing a hard reset. so be cautious if you venture past 252mhz
Isnt that what I said two posts above ?!
THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP MAN!!! It is very much appreciatted. Before you gave me your reply I set it to 280 and it messed up but I was able to change it back (LUCKY) with out a hard boot. I am not questioning your answer but are you positive (I don't want to buy it and then realize it doesn't work) that I can use a SDHC card (4GB) because I emailed some one who was selling it on EBay and he said it doesn't work on my phone?
Thank you once again.

The eBay guys phone is most likely NOT running WM6.1. You should have no problems running 4GB in a Dash with WM6.1.

I am not so worried about running a 4GB card but more worried about it not working because it's a SDHC and not just a SD Card?

answer delay

Hi, is anyone getting answer delays?

Try to flash a stock rom (read the stickies) and test again, just to be sure it´s something ROM related. I think this is not something related to the rom, but...
Regards.
theres a delay in stock rom too, but it feels shorter.
i did a search and i read it could be related to:
HKLM/Comm/ConnMgr/Planner/Settings/SuspendResume
mine says ~GPRS!
anyone have info on this?
could it be radio rom related?
thanks

It's normal part of WM don't worry........ Tweaked
If you answer the phone with hello then you'd never notice
so the 8 second answer delay is normal?
wha?
my wizard and 8525 didn't have this issue.

3 - 5 seconds is normal don't worry many devices have it same as the closing of phone taking a while, my Tilt does it and i have always answered with hello many people have said about it on many threads.
Put it this way not worth breaking a sweat over many worse things could be wrong........

I did ask, twice but no one replied.
So to get attention and show people this I made a new thread.
People need to know this problem and be able to find a way around it.

To be fair, it was asked numerous times before hand and was mentioned to be getting worked on.
Use the official bug tracker, it's mentioned in the second post of the official Open Desire thread.
BTW, it happened in a lot of vanilla roms (I had a Hero, and it happened on cyanogenmod port too, it took a while before getting it fixed).
TerrAme0, Really any need to comment? Thanks for your contribution...don't bother in the future.

So the Desire just might get a GB update

This is what HTC just posted on their FB page
To resolve Desire's memory issue and enable the upgrade to Gingerbread, we will cut select apps from the release.
Look for status updates starting next week. We apologize for any confusion.

it's a Joke. XDA Devs can make Gingerbread and Sense 3 and the Stuff of HTC must cut any Apps. Oki, XDA Devs use the SD Card but why cant HTC? All Phones have a SD Card 2Gig or More. i stay on Insercoin Rom

Average Joe (Jane) users won't be able to partition the card and all the stuff needed for that
I see many ppl wants a Gingerbread without sense, but as I've tried GB on my Hero, I don't see why ppl want it. The only features I miss from GB are the features provided by the CyanogenMod team. What I think HTC should've done was to release a ROM with Froyo and Sense 2.1

Exactly this, someone else who has common sense. Seriously, guys, get over it. We're getting it so just wait. Personally, I reckon HTC should remove all apps available on the Market to save space

i agree
and move stuff like htc stocks to htc hub so you can download it - if you want.
in fact this would be a FAR better way to go for all roms - I hate all the junk that is added to roms for no good reason. I thought Android was all about choice but then you can't uninstall stuff like quickoffice after they have dumped it on you without root

That sounds a very dtraight-forward way! They won't have to think much in this case. Hope people will accept this in OTA and not blame HTC for removing Market apps.

Spot on Eddy. Once we get HTC on board then we need to concentrate on all the carrier specific garbage that gets added as well, which imho, is the worst of the lot.
Official GB release is good on two counts - for those who like stock it's good news, and for the devs it's good too as it provides a new base etc. for cooking.
