Hey guys, I found this on ebay... it's very expensive!
is it fine to install without soldering?
Yes, it do not soldering, is a RAM module how original, only that 2GB.
I just received my RAM replacement from the MEM-STORE eBay and this new unit works as expected without "blue screens" or other issue. Now my HTC Shift run as never before as I have 128 GB SSD G-Monster PhotoFast 128Mb/s read and 90Mb/s write speed and this 2GB RAM. Windows 7 Ultimate + Windows Mobile 6 Professional (Thaihugo Light ROM).
GPS + Phone + 3G/HSDPA + 128GB SSD + 2GB RAM = GREAT!
Now is just a "revived" device with new performance!
Just seen this! It almost makes me want to get a shift, but £200 for 2GB of RAM! WTF!!

xda hello freaks
I have my 2GB DDR2-533 214 - pin microdimm.
it was a bit tough, I could not go turning a screw.
who was sitting inside the computer.
does anyone know how I can get there.
The bottom should be free.

Hey there,
Just noticed there isn't the whole 1Gb of ram available for Android to use......
Does this alter performance???
Is it allocated for graphics or the webtop??
Is there any way to remove the allocations for the addresses so they are all for Android OS???
Currently there's only 8xx.x MB available...
Cheers guys....... (just weird future-proofing questions)
About 300mb of ram is reserved by the OS.
Its divided up. Half or a little over half is dedicated to the OS. and the remaining of it is for webtop
They state 1gig because there literally is 1gig of pc memory (which they call it)
So out of the 1GB, about 300mb ish is used by android, leaving 700mb ish available to the phone/user? Or is say 500mb of the remaining 700 reserved for the laptop dock, so the phone can only access/use to run apps etc on 200mb? Sorry for sounding a bit thick, but i'm confused.
Thanks
Ian

it will show what is and what isnt available
Um, i don't actually have the phone yet? just wanted to make sure that if i buy an atrix, it has the full 1gb of ram available for use (Minus operating system needs, so about 700 - 800mb ish?). I don't intend to purchase a laptop dock, or at least not straight away, so i'm hoping the phone can use the full 700+mb remainder for multi tasking, gaming, etc etc
Thanks

System uses 250-350mb. You usually get 550-650Mb free in a fresh restart with no widgets on the launcher. My phone's free memory is usually 350-450Mb and i use a lot of apps, widgets and running services. Phone is always snappy.
There's misleading information stating that half of the phone's memory is reserved for webtop/laptop dock. That's not true

No doubt. The phone has plenty of memory and plenty of potential.
Buy the sgs2. They already cranked it up to 1.5ghz and its stable. I regret buying this phone. Its gonna be locked down forever.

The selling point for me, with the Atrix, is the docking capabilities. It seems that Motorola is the only Android manufacturer that understands how important this is. Apple sells a lot of devices because of docking and accessory capability.
This is where Samsung fails for the most part.
I understand that this may not be important to some people, but it is to me. The car dock creates a simple dock solution to play music and use maps from the phone. This is preferable to bluetooth streaming by far. The dock provides audio out via USB so you do not have to plug anything into the phone after docking. The same is true for the HD dock and the Laptop dock. Also, the laptop dock allows you to close the lid and still play music from it's speakers.
The bottom line here is simple. There are pros and cons to every device. There is no single device that can be considered the best for everyone.
Having said that, I have never had a Samsung mobile device that wasn't cheap feeling. The SAMOLED screens are beautiful but they are surrounded by cheap feeling materials. It all comes down to personal opinion.

I know i won't need more than 700, but what i didn't know was if the phone could access the whole of the 700 if it had too (say playing a resource heavy game while having something running in the background - no laptop dock involved), or whether or not the 700 was divided into separate 2 sections - one for phone usage, and one for laptop dock usage? There seems to be conflicting answers when searching.

There's no such "partition" of RAM. The webtop environment uses the RAM available when needed by does NOT reserve it! Whenever you are not using Webtop, phone will use the amount of RAM available, either 700, 600 or 500Mb or so.

It may be up to 1.5ghz already, but for all its speed, right now it's crap for playing games on (or at least the exynos version is), which is something i shall be doing alot of with my new device. But everybody has different needs from their phone. My No1 need is gaming development and support. Any phone thats got an Nvidia chip in it has a gaming advantage.

I'm planning to buy an Archos 70.
I'm only not sure whether to choose for the 8G with SD slot or for the version with the 250GB hard disk.
the price difference is only € 49 so that is not a major point for me.
any advice would be nice.
I would buy the 8GB one, beacuse it's thinner and faster.
If you want more space, you can use SD Cards.

I agree. I'm happy with the SD card. A movie with full AC3 is taking up ~1.2-1.5 gb and I only keep a few movies at a time.
go for the 8gb, there's less to go wrong.. Am I right in saying that the 250gb version hasn't got an SD slot? That could be annoying.

I have a 250GB version, I can tell HDD ver. is heavier than 8GB version (about 100g) but the hardware spec is completely same in this two version.
But only thing you need to know is:
8GB version have internal 8GB (*300MB for apps install) and able to insert micro SD,
HDD version have fully 1.58GB for apps install but no micro SD card slot.
*can be modified if you root it.
I'm not a fan of moving parts on a portable device. I've owned a few MP3/media devices with HD's and all of them failed 1-2 years later. Its just a reality of mechanics. You can't bang around a spinning disk and not expect it to wear over time.
I went with the 8gb model. I have a few thousand songs which fit fine on a 16gb sd card. These days I just listen to Pandora so I don't even need more than a couple gb for the OS and the apps.

If you are interested in a gently used 8GB, I have one for $200, with case, charger, car charger, and Archos' ear buds.
It has the latest firmware on it, and also is rooted with Chulri's method (which means you can boot into it as root in SDE, or boot into stock).
PM me if you're interested.

I, too, have owned HDD-based MP3 players.... mostly the earlier Archos's, such as the Jukebox Studio 20. Worked without fail for a long time. Forget how it happened, but the only reason it wasn't usable anymore was because the front of the device got dented in quite far... which not only broke the LCD screen but dented the cover of the hard drive.
I now own a 250GB Archos 70.... and have no issues so far. Know why? Because mobile manufacturers think of these things. That's why the Archos 70's hard drive doesn't stay spinning for very long. Means there's much less chance of accidentally skipping the read/write head across the platter... but also means that tracking back and forth through a video file causes said video to freeze and the skipping to take a second or a few due to the hard drive needing to spin back up. And i'm fairly certain HDD manufacturers have also added protection methods to small platter-based drives, knowing that they're generally used in portable devices.
One question i have for you.... exactly what would cause you to bang it around, anyway? I can't think of a situation.
As for the people making comments about the 8GB being "thinner and faster".... thinner, yes... by .12"..... which is rather miniscule. Hell... for a bit of comparison, the 250GB is only .07" thicker than an iPhone 3GS. Faster.... the only thing that's really "faster" is that the HDD has to spin up frequently. Then again.... seeing as even that is a miniscule amount of time..... i can't think of any situation where use of a tablet was a life or death scenario.
Hi all! Anyone selling the SSD and 2GB microdimm ram, do update me ya. Would love to take them away from you! Loving the shift for the uses but the ram and storage might help to speed things up! Thx!

I'm cheap, I'd rather stick an old 500GB drive in an enclosure and take up an usb port on the dock; but it is nice to know that a card of that calibre works

not a bad price for so much room I don't think.

Wow, I didn't know the transformer would take such a huge card, that's great news for me thank you!
i can confirm that 64GB micro sd cards work on the tablet itself- they just need to be formatted in FAT32 so that CWM works properly.
i formatted my card to FAT32 in my samsung GS2 phone then put it in the tablet
works perfectly!!
Stuck on the fence between the two options. Storage space isn't as compelling to me as I already have an SD card for expanded storage.
What's everyone's thoughts? Worth the extra cost for 33% more RAM?
Save your $
with the price drops at best buy it was only 30 dollars difference so I opted to return the 128gb model and get the 256.
The biggest issue on an external memory is: to slow, not all things can moved on the SD Card. Internal less memory let lost the fun of the tablet. Thats my experience of the last years. About this one I move to the 256G part

you need to buy cards marked U3, not U1 that guarantees minimum 30MB/s(240mbps) write speed. That's what I buy for shooting 4k 60ps drone footage which tops 120mbps. They are still not as fast as internal storage, but for movies and other data files they are great.
The card is only the half way. You can used the fastest card of the World, if the interface to the card id slow. The tranferrate to and from the SDCard ist one of the negative point of the galaxy tab S7 in the technical reviews (Could be better for this device)
You can compare this with a SSD on a SATA2 .The SSD could be faster , but the tx/rx rate from the hardware is not faster and brake the performance
abso-smurfly worth the cost if you do heavy video or into multitasking and using DEX. if you do lite email and occasional gaming, its not worth it. but im a power user and the extra 100 dollars was pocket change for me to gain that extra ram.

well running benchmark U1 vs U3 I'm getting 90/70MBs(u3) vs 70/40MBs(u1). Which is close to the quoted max rate on the card. Now that's nothing compared to internal storage which I'm guessing is true SSD which tests out at nearly 1GBs, which definitely makes the extra 128gb + 2 GB of RAM a great deal for 30 dollars.
Still the U3 card is a solid performance boost.
Thanks everyone for the input, appreciate it.
Considering the price difference isn't that much, I decided to go big.
One thing I'm a bit bummed about is that the 256GB model only has one color option - I realize it's just cosmetic but I would have liked the mystic silver option. I'm just limited to the black option.

Hm, what area of the world are you ordering from? Here in the US, the 256 GB model is available in silver. I have one, and it's also showing as available in Samsung's store.
In Germany the 256G version are in black, silver and bronze available
After a week, I'm glad I went with the upgrade. Ended up paying 700 even for the 7+ and got 50$ GC on the side and the speed of the internal storage is amazing. Add to that the extra RAM. I like Black
If you're asking about RAM - don't worry. 6 GB is plenty on the tablet. I was worried at first too but after having 6 tabs open on Chrome, YouTube vanced in picture-in-picture mode, and Microsoft Word open - there were no delays or lag. Ymmv, but I don't have any issues.
That being said, if the difference in price is about 30-50$ I'd consider it. The added RAM makes it more future proof and if you don't need a MicroSD card with the added base storage, then you come out on top since the external storage just isn't as fast.
