Confirm total Ram in i927 vs i927R

I thought the i927/i927r where the same spec.
The Rogers Galaxy S Glide has a total of 724mb ram in the task manager instead of 1gb.
Can others confirm from either device you have?
thanx.

I have Rogers and see the same as you. I assume some is used for the OS and hidden. Agreed this does seem misleading. Try adding up the hard drive space and you do not make 8GB either as it is mentioned to have.
I see 2 Partitions:
1.97 System Storage
3.75 USB Storage.
Above info also taken from Task manager.

Same in i927 (AT&T Model) also.. 724 MB..
Remaining will be used by OS and GPU...

do you have the same HD space on AT&T that I posted above as well?

Can anyone else with the i927 AT&T Captivate Glide version confirm total ram in task manager and sizes of the sd and USB partitions ?
Thanx.

Captivate Glide - AT&T
RAM 724MB
System storage 1.97GB
USB storage 3.75GB

256MB is used for Nvidia's graphics card. It's like shared RAM on a laptop with integrated graphics.

Wow, so Phones with 512megs will only see 256? Wow! Boy am I glad I got this phone with 1024 where only 724 is available. What is the story with the Hard drive? Is the Android Operating system using that much from my 8GB?

I thought it strange too.
My Motorola Milestone 2 has 512MB RAM, but only 477MB is usable. Only a gap of 35MB disappears somewhere, not 256MB. But then it doesn't have as good a GPU, so maybe it doesnt use as much for graphics.
Its only ever got 100 to 150MB free at any time out of the 477MB.

that's because of the way the linux kernel uses RAM to buffer and cache to speed things up, otherwise the ram would be idle and wasted.

[Q] which version, 2 gb ram or 3 gb ram?

Hello, should I buy 32 GB ROM 3 GB RAM version instead of 16 GB ROM 2 GB RAM version?

If its available and you can afford the extra, yes, its a no brainer.

Around 5%, but the extra 16GB storage is very helpful.

Like @jhericurls said, the extra 1 GB of RAM is negligble for now (since the apps are optimized for 2 GB), but the extra 16 GB is huge, if you intend on loading any apps directly onto the phone (not all apps can be installed on the microSD card, so for me this was a key factor in going for a 32 GB model). I've got a 32 GB microSDHC card I am using for my media mostly.

What version should I Buy?

Hi, I would like to buy the cheap version (2GB RAM 16GB ROM) but I am afraid not to have a community to help me to "improve" it.
What I need is basically some future update and very important be able to root it.
What do u suggest?

There isn't one

Why?
PS: I had to edit it cuz it missed "rooted".

GSM-Arena says the minimum RAM is 3 GB and the minimum storage is 32 GB, max is 4 GB and 128 GB and that's what I relied on. But then somewhere else I saw the specs you mentioned. I know Android hasn't used SD card memory well in the past. Music and apps and DRM-protected downloads were tied to internal memory and so 32 GB of internal memory was a minimum for me. But since Marshmallow those limits on SD storage are (supposedly) lifted and/or debugged.
So, I dunno. Try it, buying from a place that allows returns, and post what happens.

I have the 2gb version. But I don't understand your question.

Sorry for my english!
I saw a lot of post about Helium and Hydrogen but no one for the 2GB version. I am afraid to buy it and not be able to find a way to root it or flash a new rom (eg Cyanogen)...

I'm not going to root mines any. But I haven't found any support forums. But I'm sure it'll happen

I would go with the 32 GB version as youâ??ll get 1 extra gig of ram. Miui used quite a bit of it. I run mi max with miui 8 beta. Phone has been on for about a day. And I've got about 600 GB of ram free. I don't really use ram cleaner as it can mess with Androids memory managment. With two gigs of ram I think there will be more apps that get purged from memory i.e worse multitasking. Also the extra storage is kind of sweet.
I would not go for the snapdragon 652. Even though its a beast. Remember that its a bigLittle SoC. So during normal operation the 4x a53 cores will do most of the work. The two extra a72 cores wont really make that much of a difference. Games are still single threaded.. The only motivation is the 4gb of ram and the bigger e-penis.

laggy

I have a 3gb ram version and it is not smooth while scrolling any one else facing similar problem?

You are a few owners out there who managed to detect the MEMORY LEAKS issue in the stock Firmware S233_170404_ROW...
Hard reset won't solve anything... You have to trace which 3rd party app(s) is the culprit of the MEMORY LEAKS...

mine is 3gb variant and im on mm. there is no such issue so far

did you check ram usage?
check your ram usage and see if gboard is using more than 100mb if yes disable it and downoad swiftkey for example. there is unresolved memory leak issue with gboard app whick causes laggy phone due to excessive ram usage.

Much RAM consumption!!!

Miui uses too much RAM as compared to other ROMS.
I have 2gb/32gb variant
Available RAM for user is just 650 MB
Is there any solution for this
Can we reduce the RAM usage by any means??

I have the 3/64 GB version and it still consuming around 1.5 GB in system tasks and some background apps (whatsapp, facebook, messenger, etc.), if you wanna keep more available RAM, U' can purchase another version like Redmi note 7 3/32 GB or just Redmi 7 3/32

its because the apps are being cached to launch them faster, what's written on paper isn't the available ram for use but the total ram the phone has

Debloat

Turn off miui optimisation and get more free ram

heres a tip set the backround process to 4 proccess it will make your free ram to about 800mb to 900
