I just bought this phone and I used it for a while. With the increase in software, 4gb RAM is not enough. So I installed 6gb RAM. Now that RAM is enough, the experience is great.
I don't know how to add a picture, I originally intended to put the picture here.?
Wait how did you install more ram?

Take it apart. Replace RAM. Been done on other phones like the LG Nexus 5X.

But you probably ruin the IP68 protection.

Why stop at 6GB? Why not 8GB?
Or you just used the 6GB RAM module from the V30S? It's compatible, because it's a "V30" JOAN also.
But like I said before, you probably ruin IP68 protection - - unless you have access to skills/tools to restore that.
I'm good with 4gb.
Had before a Z2 with 3GB and that was enough for me, now with 4 GB im happy too.

No root, no green guard, no black valve. 4gRAM is not enough. Large games will be stuck, such as the A9, ark.（i no root）

ip 68 die。It is now estimated that it can only be splash-proof.
Occupy 4gRAM every day, the game takes up to 4.8gRAM, 8g is completely unnecessary, I will not try to run more programs because of the extra RAM (8G), 3300 mAh battery I think is not enough with 8gRAM:victory:

OK, got it welcome to xda. did you get any photos taking the phone apart? where did you get the ram from? maybe you could change the thread title to something like "how to upgrade the ram in your v30" ?
just that most new folks on here start off by saying, "what phone case can I buy", "which colour should I get" or "is it possible to root my v30"
I don't game on my phone (I have a nice 17" asus rog laptop for that) so couldn't see myself ever doing this but good job anyway
one more post and you should be able to post pics here :good: (i think the limitation was ten posts first, then able to post links?) interested in this too hrhr

Agreed.
i always wonder why Chinese market Android phones have more ram then US/Euro models. It is because they don't run have Google Services? Do the multiple app stores in China necessitate more RAM? Maybe government mandated spyware would slow down the phone without the extra memory?

Why is there only 693MB of RAM..?
Other devices with 1GB have much more available.. (just checked on Teac tablet, almost 900 available.)
What can I do to free more RAM?
Any tweak app feature / kernel feature that can help me to have more free RAM?
The rest is system reserved.
I know, but on other devices the system reserved is much lower.
And sometime my device become bit laggy because of this RAM shortage..

Please help us, o wise one!
If you can find me even a single quote of a solution for the RAM shortage on the Galaxy Nexus with CyanogenMod 11 that actually works, you will get a well-deserved click on the Thanks button.
Seriously, I think you were mistaking the topic for something else, maybe not RAM.
I know this topic has been discussed a few times already but i can't find the answers I'm looking for.
I don't know if i should go with the 128gb/4gb ram (helium) version or 32/gb ram (hydrogen) version.
My questions are:
1. Is there such a big difference in performance between the 4gb ram + snapdragon 652 and 3 gb ram + snapdragon 650? (~100$ price difference)
2 .Can you install hydrogen roms on helium? (miui for me doesn't seem very interesting)
The hydrogen community is a lot bigger than the helium one. (Probably because hydrogen has the same specs as the redmi note 3 pro)

Not really if you ask me. They are negligable if you won't do CPU intensive tasks. 3GB of RAM is sufficient if you ask me.
No, you certainly cannot. There are reports of folks who did this. They ended up with a hardbrick and they had to open the device up physically to flash it. MIUI is okay-ish. I would still prefer stock Android over it though.
1. I haven't used a Helium but I've read that there's no real difference in terms of real-world performance. Obviously there is a spec difference, but like I said I've read that the upgrade is so minor it's not really worth it unless you're dying for that extra internal storage. I've got the 32GB/3GB version with a 200GB Sandisk working just fine. Way more than enough storage for me!
2. I have read that you can flash Hydrogen ROMs on Helium with a few minor changes to the files (there's evidence of this in the official CM 14 thread), but like the previous poster said, I would not recommend this. Personally (and this is just my opinion...) every ROM available seems a little too buggy even for Hydrogen at the moment. The kernel source hasn't been out all that long and the source ROMs haven't had that much time to develop, so if you're looking to flash for a daily driver I'd wait a few weeks/months. (Seriously, just an opinion. I like my ROMs to be bulletproof!)

I didn't meant to flash firmwares on it. I meant use hydrogen custom roms that you install in recovery.

Well, according to a few people in this thread, Hydrogen and Helium share the same Kernel Source. So, I guess the only hold up would be optimisation for the hardware differences. i.e. getting the extra two cores online for the Helium's 652, etc.

Oh.. So there's not that much of a difference between the 650 and 652.
Get the Helium, it has more internal storage, more cores and when you go to sell it you'll get a little bit more for it.

There definitely isn't a huge difference between them, and it's debatable whether you'll see any real difference in daily use.
As ajsmsg78, you'll be able to resell the handset for a higher price later on, but you'll also be spending more to buy the 652 in the first place.
I already had a 200GB Sandisk that is only a few months old and I'm pretty used to 32GB internal storage. As I don't install many games 32GB is fine for me (I've still got 12GB internal free, and that probably won't change all that much). I use the 200GB for my entire music collection plus all photos and video I shoot.
It really is down to your particular circumstances. If you've got the dough, definitely go for the 652! 128GB internal would be great, especially when combined with a 200GB external!
If you're looking to grab a bargain, you'll be more than happy with the 650.
(When I purchased my handset the 128GB 652 was an extra $90-$100 more, which for me is a pretty big difference!)
Hello,
I'm looking into getting the mi5s (not the plus)
Not sure which one to get! But want to spend the least money.
To explain I have cloud storage, Google...
I stream everything to my phone, so 64GB storage should be plenty, but 128GB sounds tempting as I could store more videos and music.
The question I'm asking is, is there a noticeable difference between 3GB RAM and 4GB RAM?
If I could afford it now, I would go for the more expensive option, but right now I can only afford the 3GB RAM 64GB ROM version.
So should I hold out to get the 4GB RAM version just for the extra 1GB RAM? Like I say I can make do with streaming my stuff, as where I live, work and play there's always WiFi or 4G.
More RAM is always welcomed in Android.
I have 4GB 128GB version. With MIUI global 7.1.5, available RAM is always 1GB or less.
There's only 1 game app installed.

Exactly he same on my 3GB version, ~1GB free.
The fact is you can use the free RAM as a parameter.
The only OS I know that flush memory immediately is Windows, all the other OS I know give it back when need because the others use it also as "cache".
I don't have any problem with mine and the whole OS+apps are very smooth and fluid.
I would say, if you are on budget, buy 3GB version now. If you wait and you use free RAM as parameter 4GB will not be enough and you'll have to buy a 6GB device.
Atm I'm still rocking the Moto x play, and I've always got 500MB RAM free, so having a gig free on 3GB RAM phone will be an increase for me.
Would it be it be possible to block ads on the mi5s without rooting? As I want to be able to use android pay.
Edit: just realised I can block ads without root, using adblock or dns66. Though will android pay still work?
I'm thinking of getting the 3GB version.

Still remember that Moto is Stock Android and that Xiaomi is MIUI, so i guess its heavier, if u know what i mean. If u r running that low maybe your option is going for the 4GB 128GB but not the Mi5S, 'just' the Mi5 lol
The mi5 is great and it actually has development, but the Mi5S basically nothing apart from MIUI official ROMS. So the Mi5s doesnt have cm or anything like that to go to just in case u rnt sure about miui and prefer to go back to aosp

That is true. But that's temporary. When Xiaomi releases kernel sources for Mi 5s, there will be much more development as device has very affordable price for the hardware it provides which does make it rather popular...

Normally your Motherboard has all these information.
So i don't think editing your build.prop will do anything at all,because it doesn't contain anything for that.
So there is not a possible way to do this.
Hello there,
I was wondering if there could be a chance that I could swap ram chips between my S9 and the Note 9.
They have both the same SoC but with different ram chips on the very top of the SoC, I know you can physically swap the ram chips but I was worried if the Stock software could boot the phone without any changes made to it. I was also considering a full SoC swap, maybe that could increase the success rate of the SoC not dying.
Thanks in advance

Not that I know of. That's why I'm asking. Of this was possible it would open up some DIY ram upgrades for a lot of phones if it works.
I've seen similar things before, with the old Sony UX UMPC, they figured out to solder another 1GB or RAM on top of the existing 1GB RAM

Nice, it's basically the same thing on the S9 in theory. You de-solder the SoC from the original phone, you get the SoC (the same SoC with different Ram capacity)that you want from an other phone and then you solder it on the original phone. I was wondering if there was a software compatibility issue. You could de-solder the Dram chip that is located on top of the SoC but I think that's a little bit more complicated. I have never done this, I've only seen photos of the motherboard of the S9 and how it's made.
