I am a half noob as well, but my guess is: Your phone consists of a small Linux system, needing memory and a Android system (some kind of virtual machine like Java Virtual Machine), which also has most of the memory assigned.
Does that answer help?

I'm not completely sure but concluding from my actual knowledge in OS field - I will allow myself to say that a bit smaller amount of RAM is caused by Android OS itself. I mean it has many many MANY little apps ( little processes ) which are necessary to make Android stable.
My XPERIA M has 804 MB of RAM available for user.
In compparsion to X10 - she had 384 MB RAM at all but for user it left only about 150-210 MB depending from software in use.
I hope this answer was comprehensive. :good:

Thanks for answering it seems that most people have 804mb of ram I thought I was the only one

Jellybean 4.2 Update Acro S

I've heard of news that XAS is getting a Jellybean update this march. But would Sony skip to 4.2 or just 4.1. Sony has very slow OTA updates. Jellybean has been out for ages but there is still no official JB update.
Sent from my Xperia Acro S using xda premium
it will be 4.1 like the rest of the phones.
4.1, as Qualcomm didn't gave 4.2 sources for S3 processors.
The newest builds never make it to older devices. When the Nexus devices get a build no other devices get it and it has always been like that. Seeing as 4.2.2 just went out I would think it wont be long before manufacturers get more help with 4.2.1. As we all know it takes time to get it all right. The developers here and everywhere can afford to release a beta to us but for a big company like Sony to do that it would be suicide. They have to make sure it is right or we will hang them lol.
Is anybody using acro s here.? Pls let me know the availabile free RAM ... I am using xperia s and its free ram is 230 to 220 always .. Going to buy acro s next week. Thats y i am asking... Pls some one... With a screen shot pls....

Yes it's 200mb+ free ram. What do you want with a more free ram? In Android, Free ram is a wasted RAM. Even if my phone (Acro S) has 200MB+ of free ram. My phone can still do what I want it to do. It doesn't lag at all. So don't be afraid of that free ram. There's a memory optimizer with in the system.
I was planning to buy an Acro S. Can anybody tell me if it is available in India??

Thank u for the reply. One doubt. If free ram is known as waste ram means y peoples using task killers to kill apps and free up ram?
From My SXS with XTX7 ROM
Using a Taskkiller is only usefull in one single situation, when a missbehaving App has to be killed.
By missbehaving I mean running wild.
Otherwise the memmorymanagement of Android is robust enough.

I don't think the available ram on acro s will be higher, because they have same cpu, same gpu and the same running system (4.0.4).
- sent from xperia s -
I think using task killer gives more harm than good unless in dire situation where ur apps are running crazy.
Android memory management will kill apps when it needs memory accordingly.
Regarding 4.2 Jelly Bean, I dont thnk Sony will do the leap as Samsung with Ace.

I too am planning to buy the Acro S. It's available on ebay.in, u can get it there. Sony hasn't launched it in India, so u won't get manufacturer's warranty though. Some sellers on ebay are selling it with 1 year Servepro warranty, it's a third party warranty service, it's good. And u can also extend Servepro warranty when ur warranty expires. Take a look at the link below. (remove the dashes)

The beef here is what's using the ram you have and how much you have in total. The xperia T jellybean update apparently bumps total available Ram to 800MB from 640 or so that XS has. More usable ram is always a good thing. Second issue here is that if firmware loads bloatware, it will always be hanging there fighting for resources. Booting stuff out of ram and reloading that browser from flash is always slower than having the browser stay in RAM the 1st place. Task killers are not that useful, true, but stopping some Facebook helper app you don't want from loading at all is.
if you wanna talk about buying an acro s please create another thread you're going off topic
anyways, i thought jb for acro s was scheduled for Q3 this year
No JB was scheduled for April.

[Q] [q] Xperia SL Worthwhile purchase in August '13?

Hi Team,
I've broken my HTC One X and am considering purchasing a Sony Xperia SL. I understand that it is no longer a top of the line device, however all of the new phones that are are 4.7"+ which is too large IMO. It seems that the S has a fairly active dev team, though I'm not so keen on flashing new roms so often these days (have been using the same rom on my HTC One X for about a year). Having said all that; are there daily driver ROMs available for the SL that I can stick with for an extended period &/or how does the update roadmap for the device look; is JB likely the final update etc.
Thanks in advance,
Try Xperia sp or zr

Thanks, I'd probably consider the zr over the sp but both of these handsets are still probably a bit too big, and they don't really have the 'premium' look.
Xperia v and HTC one mini are 4.3 inch so same size as Xperia s
Sent from my heart
I would recommend Xperia V but not SP (the 0.2 Ghz difference doesn't make so much difference, u can overclock if u plan to unlock bl and modify the phone with flashtool. The camera on XV is much better too)
Xperia V is even cheaper than Xperia S/SL in Hong Kong now (where i live)
The only thing that make V weaker is the 0.3mp front camera, while XS/SL got 1.3mp (SP seems got 0.3mp too, not sure)
Even XSL got 1.7Ghz cpu, the XV will be still much faster becoz the CPU on XV is snapdragon s4 but the CPU on XS is snapdragon s3
(s3 actually isn't that bad, it is just supposed to be a bit slower. but s3 actually overheat so much which will make it very laggy, s4 is much cooler)
but if u got money, XZ/XZR ofcoz
Xperia SL - a good choice
IMO xperia SL is a good choice considering the specs it has got that still many latest phones lack behind easily...
12mp camera, very nice screen and screen quality, hdmi port, 32gb inbuilt memory to list a few...
plus speaking of the developer support it has got a great developer support...
already got JB 4.3 :laugh:
Please give me a link for xperia sl jb 4.3 rom download

Thats impossible in technical terms.
And actually user available ram is 450-500 MB average.
The rest is used by the android to run out of 805 MB.
195 is pre-reserved.
We cant get that in any way.
The least u or I can do is use sd card swap method for extra ram.

[Q] Would you like CyanogenMod on Xperia M?

While visiting family over Christmas I had a lot of time to relax and be merry. But being away from my usual assortment of computers and gadgets that keep me occupied, I also had a lot of time with not much to do.
I also noticed that Xperia M forums are really quiet, so after our 'traditional' fried fish and potato salad I used nothing but my Nexus tablet to create a very basic CyanogenMod repo.
I quickly learnt that doing dev work on a tablet is really hard. I was just about able to create a few basic files and copy over content I know will be the same on my other Xperia device.
However if I'm to continue, I need to know how many of you want this. Xperia M has all the right hardware to run Android 4.4 KitKat, but if nobody uses this phone, then why bother?
P.S. Don't forget the poll above!!
This would be good for devs to start and produce custom Roms as there is very little development, yes there are kernels available but need a good base and cyanogen mod would be fantastic and I'm pretty sure all users of the M would really appreciate it I know I would and 4.4 would be fantastic

I would love to have CyanogenMod on my Xperia M. I used CyanogenMod on my Xperia X8.
I have Xperia M for a few days now, and it would be great to have 4.4 on Xperia M.
So what are you waiting for?
:fingers-crossed:
That's typical, I ask something just as someone posts a ROM
It's unclear to me why this phone belongs to low activity devices.
It's a very nice budget phone that offers alot for the price.
I am one of those that would very much like to see CM on XM.

Nah, I was thinking of buying a cheap phone for development and Xperia M seemed unloved when I posted.
I'll probably now wait to see what 2014 brings, perhaps I'll get the rumoured Xperia E2, assuming it is still qcom and not mediatek.
Bro pls consider it....its not bad phone....also it most popular among all Sony budget phones even when it is last one to be launched(see survey on xperia blog)

Sony will have a big presentation at CES, which is less than a week away. We'll soon see if there is anything on the horizon.
If the Xperia E2 does turn out to be MediaTek, and no other Qualcomm based devices get announced, then I'll likely stick with Xperia M, probably the dual SIM version. I prefer how it looks compared to Xperia L, which is the same price as M here.

CyanogenMod for Xperia M
I would love to see CyanogenMod on Xperia M as I previously owned the Arc S and was running it from CM10 through to the recent CM11 that was being released for the device.
Im also interested in helping develop the rom for the device as I own 2 Xperia M's one for everyday while the other is for development purposes so im not worried if it gets bricked and would like to join anyone else willing to bring CyanogenMod to our devices and get more people interested in the power of this phone

Mobile World Congress is at the end of next month. I believe the Xperia E was released in March 2013, so we should see the Xperia E1 by March 2014 this year.
After that it all comes down to specs and price. My assumption is that Xperia E will not have better specs than Xperia M, but I think they will be very close.
I predict the Xperia E1 will have the following specs:
Snapdragon 200 chipset, with Adreno 302 GPU - dual core msm8x10 or quad core msm8x12
512mb RAM (probable) or 1024mb RAM (hopeful)
Android 4.3, with an upgrade to Android 4.4
Resolution of 480x320 (probable) or 854x480 (hopeful)
The most important spec will be the processor, I want something compatible with Android 4.4. The above chips are brand new, they have support for Android 4.3 and above, I didn't see any Android 4.2 support on CodeAurora Forums.
If it comes with anything MediaTek, I will not buy due to lack of available source code. If it comes with the older Snapdragon S4 based on msm8x25 or msm8x25Q, I will not buy as it will only ever have Android 4.1, support for its Adreno 203 GPU was dropped from Android 4.2 due to missing hardware functionality.
The other specs I'm not too worried about, but obviously the higher the specs the better.
After all that it then comes down to the price difference between the Xperia E1 dual and the Xperia M dual. I assume the Xperia E1 will be cheaper, but if I happen to find a really good deal on a discounted Xperia M, I might be tempted by it, though I would prefer to work on the new msm8x1x chips...
