The Touch Pro is now available on Verizon's site (LINK)... does anyone know if the RAM is a typo?
Memory: 512MB Flash/128MB RAM
According to the HTC site its 192MB and the word is it breaks down to 64MB of RAM that is dedicated to either O/S or graphics and 128MB for other programs...
Confirmation to follow when mine arrives tomorrow!
Verizon neutered both the Touch Diamond (lowered internal storage and added microSD slot, lowered CPU speed) and the Touch Pro (lowered memory and maybe more).
bummer deal...sounds like the Titan all over again. That's why I'm getting away from it.
They also removed the FM Radio and accelerometer.
Man do I HATE Verizon, and love being with AT&T.
Just to be clear on a few things.....
The Touch Pro from Verizon has all of the following...
192MB RAM
528MHz CPU
Accelerometer
FM Radio (although not enabled)
Also, the Diamond hasn't even been officially released so no one really knows whether it has the 4GB internal memory or not.
Personally I'd be happy if it doesn't, considering you can get a 16GB MicroSDHC card for like $30
And following the specs of the Touch Pro, i doubt the CPU is any slower either.
Alrighty, now that all the blind hate is over with, we can move on...
On an interesting note, if you use the compare function on the site, it shows 192 RAM... maybe there is hope afterall!

the 128 listed is the available memory after the OS and software take up the first 64 megs

According to this site, you are not correct.
It was also believed that Sprint's Touch Pro had the FM Radio present but disabled, but it was quickly discovered that the hardware is physically removed from the device.
A phone company would not list the phone with 128MB RAM unless that is all it has. AT&T lists the Fuze's memory at 192MB RAM.

On the primary page of the Touch Pro they are advertising the amount of ram available after the OS and programs use the dedicated 64MB chip
And while we're at it, the Fuze has 256MB of RAM, just an FYI
if yall go to the HTC web site it tells you what the device has and whats avaiable to the user.

They gave it to me fore $75.00. I have a Vouge that I just got free on Friday. I saw this on Monday and had them O/N me one. I have to send teh vouge back and pay the $75.00 difference. I dont know at thgis point. I have them both for nearly 30 days so to decide. I love my vouge, dont get me wrong but this is something new I have to play with for a while ;c)
BTW: Its got 128 megs ram. Thats it. Not 192. End of discussion. If so then something is horribly amis with my phone as I only boot with about 45 megs free ;c( Very very disapointed!
Screenshot! It has less free memory than my Vouge on boot up? WTF?!?!?!?!
Ok, I honestly dont know how much memory this thing has. But the screenshot is real on a fresh boot with TF3D enabled.
so does the verizon version have the faceted back or the the same flat back as all the other cdma models

Could someone confirm if this microSDHC is compatible with TyTN (hermes 200)?
I read on other foruns that is not compatible (maybe with WM05...). :?
Just have to wait till they come out and someone else has acuttaly tried putting one in there device!
I just hope the hermes supports it correctly, ie doesnt kill batt life e.t.c.
Oh and its going to need to be fat32 formatted, which shouldnt make much odds.
see http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=290117868659
I will let you know whether it works when mine arrives
When it's over the 2Gb , it has to be HC. The HC makes the addressing of hight then the FAT maximum addresable of 2Gb. Some 2Gb cards are and others are not, but anything over 2Gb is High Capacity period. So you NEED to have FAT32 also on these... otherwise, if you manage to format it in FAT, it will acutally have 2Gb of space only.

Why?? I have a 4gb SD for my (gasp!!) LifeDrive that is not SDHC. Formatted with Fat32, but not SDHC. Same design, just bigger, isn't it? The question is, would my 8525 handle a >2gb microSD, not -HC?
Would be interested to see how these go so I can drop my iPod nano 4GB and use this in the car with my CK-20W A2DP Car Kit

That's pritty much my point. In normal SD cards they have found a way to make 4GB's without SDHC, somehow. There not made to the official standard of either SDHC or just plain SD though; so it's even more confusing for people!
I believe it's to do with the fact that FAT32 is not part of the SD specification but the non-SDHC 4GB cards use it anyway.
But anyway, those not so keen on buying the 4GB straight away will just have to wait and see what others report.
At the moment the fact 4GB is so much more per GB then 2GB or 1GB is putting me off, but then that's always the same with the newest.
I just got a mail from mobymemory, they're pushing back the delivery date to the 22nd of June

Hi,
is there a patch/firmware fix to use 4 GB miniSDCard's with HTC Wizard ?
I tryed it in a "Vodafone VPA II compact" with Windows Mobile 5.
But only a 2 GB miniSDCard can be read.
Thanks
bye
ds2k5
The limitation will be because the 4GB card is SDHC (High capacity) whereas the 2GB card is not. AFAIK, this cannot be patched with drivers as it is a hardware limitation. (I may be wrong though...)
You don't need any patch you must buy 4GBMiniSD card (!!! no MiniSDHC !!!), its hard to find to buy ! I have one 4GBMiniSD Topram and it works well !
Both l3v5y and mrobo are correct, in their own ways. Yes, it is possible to buy a 4 gig SD chip that will work in your Wizard, and yes, if it is SDHC it will NOT work in your phone, and no, there are no software patches, and yes, it is a hardware limitation of the SD card slot. Also, it is correct that the non SDHC chips are hard to find by comparison to the standard 2 gig chips, which are being given away as breakfast cereal toys these days...
Google search: 4GB minisd -SDHC -miniSDHC
Search engines are your friends...unlike these guys...

read here info about 4gb card
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297324&page=7
I understand that this is known as a hardware limitation, but what exactly in the hardware limits it...is it the SD card controller, or is it the depth of the address bus? Basically, I'm not one to be satisfied with the reason "It's just a hardware limitation" without knowing why...
Hardware means = parts included in your wizard, physical ones
Unless you plan to dismantle your Wizard to find which ones you must replace, I don't see any other explanation to sort your problem about using 4Gb card
*sigh*...
Alright...I know by hardware limitation It means the parts in there.
What I want to know is what part, and why does it limit it. Giving the reason as a "Hardware limitation" is like someone asking "Why is the sky blue?" and you going "Because it is..."
What I want to know is why the hardware limits it. We know that there is no hardware differences on the outside of the miniSD and miniSDHC cards, ie they have the same number of lines heading into the cards. What I'd guess (without any research) it would be is the SD controller on the main board only has enough address bus lines going to it to address the 2GB max of regular SD, not a single byte more. If that's the case replacing hardware won't work unless you plan to replace the main board. And while you are at it why don't you just replace the entire phone? But I'd like to know for sure - not to replace anything, as I've already explained that's more work than it's worth - but for the academics of it.
So BUY IT!!!

It's definitely a firmware issue, not a hardware issue. If you read up on the SD sites and the SD Wiki site it tells you the difference between SD and SDHC. It comes down to how you read the cards. The pinouts are the same for both cards.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Digital_card
Here's a patch that I've not tried because I don't have any SDHC cards.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344338
In theory it should work.
Here's why:
Devices that use SD cards identify the card by requesting a 128-bit identification string from the card. For standard-capacity SD cards, 12 of the bits are used to identify the number of memory clusters (ranging from 1 to 4096) and 3 of the bits are used to identify the number of blocks per cluster (which decode to 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 or 512 blocks per cluster).
In older 1.x implementations the standard capacity block was exactly 512 bytes. This gives 4096 x 512 x 512 = 1 gigabyte of storage memory. A later revision of the 1.x standard allowed a 4-bit field to indicate 1024 or 2048 bytes per block instead, yielding more than 1 gigabyte of memory storage. Devices designed before this change may incorrectly identify such cards, usually by misidentifying a card with lower capacity than is the case by assuming 512 bytes per block rather than 1024 or 2048.
For the new SDHC high capacity card (2.0) implementation, 22 bits of the identification string are used to indicate the memory size in increments of 512 KBytes. Currently 16 of the 22 bits are allowed to be used, giving a maximum size of 32 GB. All SDHC 4-GB and larger cards must be 2.0 implementations. Two bits that were previously reserved and fixed at 0 are now used for identifying the type of card, 0=standard, 1=HC, 2=reserved, 3=reserved. Non-HC devices are not programmed to read this code and therefore cannot correctly read the identification of the card.
FirmWare, a? So what do You think, what we can do?

Be extremely wary about buying SD cards via eBay. Many have been burned by small sellers forging cards that say 4G on the chip, but often have much lower (like 256K) memory actual. Silkscreening is easy and cheap way to forge a higher-value card from a lower one, and since it's eBay, your only payback is to give them a bad review and report them to eBay. You're still out the $, and have a crap SD card.
Even if it's a legitimate seller, they might not know the difference between an SDHC card and a regular SD card.
As I said, be wary. Caveat Emptor.
Not G4 specific, moved > accessories.
i know for a fact that there are 4GB non-HC miniSD's out there... that will work on our wizards. otherwise, stick with a 2GB.

I purchased one of the cards shown above from TopRam. It would not read in my phone nor would it read in a reader (it just hung my system), so I requested a return/replacement. It took a while due to the long shipping, but I got the replacement a few days ago and it worked immediately! I now have my entire GPS maps and a bunch of audiobooks, music and movies on my phone, all at once! 4GB is SO much better than 2GB (especially when the stupid GPS maps take up almost all of 2GB)!
Thanks

Hmm Thanks for the infor ...
So at last we can use 4GB Simple SD in Wizard ...
I am confused about this being a hardware issue - please forgive the noob
(I would like to apologize in advance for the fact that I might hijack this thread. It is not my intent.)
I am a long time Treo 650 user.
Specs - Treo
Specs - Wizard
The Treo 650 (AFAIK) was designed for all of 1GB of non-HC memory. The replacement of a driver was all that was required for my Treo to be capable of using up to 8GBs of SDHC memory. (If you are familiar with the Treo you know that there was more than one file in the SDHC patch, but that was because apps like Memo needed to be patched as well.)
So, while I am not expecting anyone to suddenly jump up and shout "Eureka! He's right - it has been a software issue all along!" I am wondering what it is about newer hardware that ended up interfering with something older hardware could do.
I realize there may not be an easy answer to this, but as I burn through patch after patch for the wizard - each promising SDHC, and not delivering on the promise - I have to wonder if it was not either purposefully done or is a flaw in WMedition.
After reading thread after thread, after thread I cannot wrap my brain around the volume of patches for something that is thought not to work.
Since many of you in this forum have probably been down this road already is there any combination which gives the greatest chance of success, using storage which is available today?
i.e. WM6.1 + "miniSD HC Patch v2.2.cab" + "SAMSUNG 4GB MINI SDHC CARD" = Wizard + 4GB SDHC
(I am looking for an SDHC solution because I do not see much to convince me that non-HC memory over 2GB is any easier to get working than HC 2GB and up, but HC is MUCH easier to come by.)
One last thing... Is there some relationship between the SIM and storage on the Wizard? I have a bad SIM I use for testing. When I insert my working SIM in the wizard I can get my 2GB SD card working. Then I can run tests, etc. with my bad SIM in the Wizard. If I mess up and the SD card stops working I MUST reinsert my good SIM to get it working again. Then I can switch back, once more, until I screw up again. Is this the way the wizard is designed? I have also noticed that I never gotten my 2GB SD card to work unless there is a SIM in the phone. On the Treo there is no relationship between the two, whatsoever.

Went online last night looking for any new news on the evo 3d. I came across several websites that seem to contradict each other as far as the specs go. I came across sites stating it will have 1gb internal memory others say it is 4gb. I understand the contradiction on that due to the initial contradicting spec posts by sprint and htc and the cdma vs gsm thing. However I came across other sites that are now stating 8gb as the internal memory. No I am not mixing this up with the included 8gb memory card as it specifically stated "8gb of internal memory" and the memory card was actually listed further down the spec list. Can anyone shed light on this subject?
Sent by my evo 4g using sprint 4g network.
HTC has a sprint version /cdma that has 4gb internal with a 8gb SD card. The 1gb internal is the GSM version.
Powered by Steve Jobs' Tears and Jealousy
You are looking at the GSM version vs the CDMA version specs.
Yeah that's the info I knew to be true. I just ran across a few sites that specifically stated "8gb of internal memory" so I was just curious if there was decision to up the memory or if it was just a mistake on the sites. I felt it was worth asking since it wasn't just one site it was multiple that posted this.

With a 5MP camera (that also records 3D content), QHD screen, 1.2GHz dual core processor, 4GB of internal memory, 1GB of RAM, and a huge 1730 mAh battery, the EVO 3D is a beast of a multimedia device.

Sure would be nice if Sprint/HTC also hooked us up with a 32GB SD card like the Thunderbolt got.
Verizon charges for that sd card... They pass the cost on to the people buying the thunderbolt...
If sprint included a card, I would only buy the package deal if forced then sell the card to offset the cost on a quality 32GB class 10 like the patriot I bought at Fry's for 90$... Even so, I would rather not pay extra for a crap class 2 sd card... Rather buy the Evo as cheaply as possible.
WAIT!!!!!
I think we missed something on the htc website i haven't looked much into this since I Initially looked into the g2 another htc device which also had a 4gb emmc internal memory. but giving the fact that running at x4 was too unstable due to low voltage stability issues they partition a huge chunk at x2 "enhanced user"which almost halfed the amount of internal memory... to 2.10GB to be exact. if the same is true for te evo 3d then expect actual 2.10 GB internal memory

I have to switch to AT&T in about a week and I'm looking at the Atrix as my starter phone.
Best Buy Mobile has it for $50 in the store, and they have a flat 30 day return policy. If I buy the phone around the 20th That should take me through the next major releases on AT&T. Of course, for that price if the Atrix works out I'm keeping it.
Is there anything you would warn me off of on the device coming from an HTC Thunderbolt?
The ATRIX is a great phone that's about to get better with upcoming cm7 and aosp releases.

Nothing to warn you off at all, unless better battery life and more reliable call quality bother you. If that's the case, then stick with the HTC.

here's a comparison between the cliq xt and the atrix
Width
63.5 mm (2.48 inches)
58.0 mm (2.26 inches)
Height
117.8 mm (4.59 inches)
114.0 mm (4.45 inches)
Depth
11.0 mm (0.43 inches)
15.6 mm (0.61 inches)
Weight
135 grams (4.7 ounces)
163 grams (5.7 ounces)
The atrix is lighter by a whole ounce, THINNER than the cliq XT, and not even all that much taller or wider, and yet it packs a 4 inch qhd screen, a dual core beast, 1 gigs of ram, 16gb of storage, 4g, GINGERBREAD, and webtop.
Atrix is in its own league, after putting it up against the lg thrill, the inspire, and my memories of the G2X...this phone is the first true super phone I've ever used.
Sounds good. With 1-click root available for 2.3.4 it's hard to pass up...
If you can wait.. I believe ATT will release the SGSII soon :T
but if you're in a rush.. Atrix is an amazing phone.
I would say the same thing....get the SGII
I had a chance to test drive my friends SGSII. It is a great phone and it is quick but I wouldn't say that it is much if at all better than the Atrix. He complains about the battery not lasting long at all and the GPS takes some time to lock sometimes (his phone is still stock). The screen was nice but the Atrix screen is also nice, they are just different. I think the colors looked a little too saturated on the SGSII and a little too washed out on the Atrix. Neither are perfect. In terms of speed, they felt the same to me. The Atrix has a lag coming from the lockscreen and the SGSII has a lag going to the Homescreen...take your pick. The general feel was very similar, gaming was nearly identical. The SGSII was a little harder to handle due to it's size and shape (wide and thin).
In short if you can get an Atrix for $50 or an SGSII for $299...I would definitely say Atrix. For that matter if they were both $50 I would still say Atrix.
yea the GPS on the ATRIX is pretty amazing. not gonna lie. main reason why i got an android device was for free voice navigation
qHD (Atrix) vs WVGA (SGSII)?
Atrix is smaller and the color to me looks great.
Battery is great.
Atrix all the way...

here's a comparison between the cliq xt and the atrix
The atrix is lighter by a whole ounce, THINNER than the cliq XT, and not even all that much taller or wider, and yet it packs a 4 inch qhd screen, a dual core beast, 1 gigs of ram, 16gb of storage, 4g, GINGERBREAD, and webtop.

Atrix does NOT have 16GB of storage... it's internal storage is 10.7GB.... unless you're talking about a deal where they are throwing in a 16GB external storage.. then yeah..

It has 16 gigs completely formatted with no OS on it. The inspire advertises 4 gigs of internal even though its only like 300 megs of usable storage. So yes it has 16 with 10-11 usable.

Agree.. as that's how even Moto list the specs "up to 16GB".. I should have been more clear in my response, I'm talking about usable, as no one would care if they got 16GB of storage if the phone doesn't boot cus nothing is on it.. just didn't want someone going by what was posted here and seeing only 10GB of storage when they look at the storage space on the phone..
Get it for the $50. It's a steal. You won't have any regrets at that price.

well, I think it's common knowledge [at least if you post on a board like this] that free space is always lower than advertised space
but Atrix does a REALLY good job of it..2 gbs for APPS, a little more than 10 for storage, and the rest is system files/OS...
Easily the most storage I've had on a phone, dropping in my 8gb microsd from my g2x makes it feel like overkill.
then again, i have fond memories of growing up with my 300mb windows drive and getting an upgraded 1gb drive, then a few years later being SO excited when I got a celeron 266mhz tower came with a 20gb drive!!

Fake.
^^ i hope not, looks great to me. and a new device by the holidays was basically assured by the CEO.
These are renders, not photos. Who knows where they came from or if they are connected with reality at all. All it takes is a little skill with Photoshop.
It looks great, too bad is not real

Looks like dual cameras and finger print sensor on uni-body/non-removable back with clean slate front.
Seems to be an obvious Nexus 5X competitor, but a lot better looking IMO. Apparently will have mid-range specs like the 5X according to early blogs.

They cant even get the invite system in order for the opt. So If they do come with another device i hope they get it better. I ordered my two on the 12th and I just got it monday....but some order on the 1st and still have no phone.
spotted benchmark and specs..
16GB and 32GB models priced between $200 and $300 according to one source and 'around $250' according to another. One mentions it'll come with micro SD card reader, so we'll see.
The device passed through the AnTuTu benchmark software and revealed that it comes with a Full HD display, likely to be around 5-inch. Other specs include an octa-core MediaTek MT6795T processor, clocked at 2.2GHz, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal storage, micro SD card support, and a 13 megapixel main camera.

assuming there will be 16GB and 32GB versions, the 16GB could be pretty close to that in price. i'm skeptical but hopeful that this will have SD card support, but we'll see.
i hope OnePlus pays close attention to all the disappointed people about the Nexus 5X only having 2GB of RAM. if you read that forum, there's a lot of people who were set on buying the 5X until they found out about the RAM. so if OnePlus puts 3GB of RAM into this Mini phone, it'd probably sell like hotcakes.
it's stupid how some Android manufacturers are trying to clone the iPhone's 2GB RAM spec without realizing that iOS is pretty lightweight compared to Android. sure, Marshmellow is supposed to be more 'efficient', but people want to know they'll have enough RAM past next year.

Dude... I sold my HTC M9 for a "temporary" nexus 6 til the new nexus 5x came out and I too did not pre order due to disappointment! Nexus 6 is a great phone, but too big for my preference! Switched from M9 because development was weak.

I'm not sure how that will play out with the nexus 5x. I don't see why phone as that would come with 16gb and only 2gb of ram period! But I'm not sold on Android m battery improvement either. They said the same with 5.0, and I saw a big decrease in battery from KitKat. Nexus 6p looks nice but still to me the opt offers more value as I do feel like both phones are will have a strong dev community once things pick up

Right... on the OPO I always got around 6.5-7 hours on screen time, a couple times 8! Once KK hit, I only got 4-5, sometimes 3! Now, people are saying that with that preview 3 of M battery got better, so I guess we'll see when the final version of M drops for the Nexus 6 next week, I'll be sure to flash that asap.
OnePlus Mini might be announced this Monday in India:
http://www.androidcentral.com/oneplus-announce-next-big-step-india-october-12
Here are some rumors from a source claiming to have an anonymous tip:
Per this report, the OnePlus Mini / X will pack a 5-inch, 1080 x 1920 display, apparently the same as the one used with the Xiaomi Mi 4c. Given that the Mi 4c uses the ClearForce-ready Synaptics S3708 touchscreen controller, the forthcoming OnePlus device could follow suit, although full-on ClearForce support seems a tad far-fetched for a mid-ranger.
Aside from the display, the tipster believes that there'll be dual front-facing speakers and a 13-megapixel Sony IMX258 taking care of photo and video-related duties. The shooter will apparently forgo optical image stabilization (OIS), instead favoring a combination of phase-detection autofocus (PDAF) and electronic image stabilization (EIS).
Elsewhere, the OnePlus handset will offer an FM radio, NFC, IR blaster and will have removable StyleSwap covers. Despite this, the battery will apparently be fixed, in order to preserve the integrity of the device's IP67 rating and wireless charging facilities. Before now, it has been mentioned that the new OnePlus phone will be powered by a MediaTek MT6795 SoC chip. Instead, though, the company may favor Snapdragon's 801.
Completing this expansive round-up of new info, the OnePlus Mini / X may offer 2 GB of RAM, which seems perfectly reasonable for a mid-range device.
