Hi,
My phone shows specification as 1 gb ram, and when i open app manager, it shows as total 750 mb of which approx 100-150 mb is free(which has cached processes).
However, as per my knowledge the os should be consuming space in ram, but the fixed 250 mb shouldnt be removed from total ram as far as my knowledge.
So is this some kind of config error or is this accurate? pls help me shed me some light on the matter,

This is normal. Only around 750MB RAM is usable. The rest is SYSTEM reserved RAM, which we can never use. And even of those 750MB, much is used to run necessary system applications to get your ROM going. The amount left for actual user apps is way lower. Perhaps only in the 300MB range.
Uodate with more screenshot
I took a screenshot from a Micromax Phone having 1 gb ram, and one from my galaxy nexus, which also has 1 gb ram,
the galaxy nexus total is 750 snd micromax is 966 mb, i think there is problem in my galaxy nexus ramdisk

Can anyone tell my how much RAM memory is shown in apps (like Free Memory, Smart Monitor...) which are reading the amount of RAM?
Every app in my phone is detecting 398 MB of total RAM memory.
I am asking this, because mobile provider in Serbia told me that they are selling Desire`s with 448 MB RAM (and that HTC sold them those phones for Serbian market). Their site also says 448 MB:

Can anyone tell me this, please. Its only a minut of your time.
I purchased the desire for the high spec, question
how much memory should you have free for programs .. ive done a hard reset and only have around 130mb of program memory free
when you read the spec its
ROM: 512 MB
RAM: 576 MB
where is the rest of the space ???
anyone got higher program memory ??? can this be changed ??
mind you i still have 40+ mb left with shed loads of programs but would like higher
superb phone though
I have the verizon which is supposed to have 512mb and 288mb
When I switch on all I have is 212.85 (out of 512) and 183.86 (out of 288)
What do I have to do to increase the amount of space left.

That is what you should have. Not all of the ROM and RAM are user accessible. You only have access to 265MB of ROM internal storage space. The rest is for the ROM image itself. As for the RAM, you only get 183.6MB out of 288 MB total. The rest is reserved for radio and system process usage.
i am currently using advance stock kernal but still the ram allotment is 635 i dont want z ram all those stuff as i need more ram when os can also take some space which is fine as the reserved ram is not used at all taking more space in the alloted memory still
I want a custom kernal which can allot atleast 750mb of ram to user when loaded as usual it take 350-400 still i have 350 which is fine for me.
But reserving some ram and not using to the core is not acceptable.
As many other companies does the same and they know 30-35 for OS and rest for user but i can see even xperia P it has 800 mb ram to user visibility and in Samsung galaxy s3 897 mb ram why xperia S along having a different setup. Dont tell Hardware reserve its not acceptable.
I would appreciate if any one guide on how to modify the ram .
Also i dont want any surprise that xperia doesnt have 1gb ram.
Those RAM you don't see is reserved for the rest of the device, specially GPU.

I have the Galaxy S3 SGH-L710 (Virgin Mobile)
I used the CPU-Z app to view the hardware info.
CPU-Z reported that my Ram memory is 1.57 GB (1579 MB)
This model phone is suppose to have 2 GB of memory.
Just wandering if it's an indication of bad memory, or a software glitch or if it's something else.
Can anyone with same model post here and let me know what you get.
See if you have same reading as me. Thanks.
I believe some RAM is allocated to system files on boot so that the phone can start up. Also, the amount of physical space on a chip is different than the space a system can use. For instance any flash drive you get that is advertised as having 16 GB of space, actually has about ~14-15 GB, because they say that it has 1.6 billion bytes (or whatever the number is), but there are 1024 kb in 1 MB, and 1024 MB in 1 GB, plus the space needed for driver files lowers the total amount of space available to what you see. So all of that is probably what amounts to what you're seeing, I'm not an expert nor am I a developer, but I've looked into these things a bit.
Plus, you could just google search "why is my phone's ram less than it's supposed to be" and get a clearer answer!
Thanks for your response. That explains things.
