According to the specifications the ram in LG Optimus One is 512MB, but in my phone its showing up 419 MB is that a problem, or is that same for all?
It's normal. I heard that some of RAM is used for graphic card unit.

my 4GB sandisk sd card , show's me only 3.19 GB's
Its normal, its the partitioned... Like mine is 8GB sdhc, and now is 6.91 gb...

reason
The difference is due to the difference in the calculation parameters. We take 1024 in calculation but the manufacturers takes 1000 as their calculation unit.
1024 * 8 = 8192
1000 * 8 = 8000
You might be thinking that this is not a big difference. The other factor is the file system information and files which are stored along

Gb != GB guys !
1Gb = 128 MB.
But the teardown is damn nice. IC decapping and stuff .... they take the term "teardown" damn serious xD

I though 1024mb = 1gb lol

1024 MB = 1 GigaBYTE correct !
But 1 GigaBIT = 128 MB !
GigaBIT (Gb) and GigaBYTE (GB) are two complete different things

pay special attention to the "b".
1B = 8b
or
1 byte = 8 bit
which means
8 Gb = 1 GB
computers only deal with bytes, that is why you only see the lower value.
Fun fact: check the advertised internet speed from you provider, almost all of them use "bit", witch is 1/8 of the actual speed you get, witch is in "byte"
oh, and byte is used mostly because it represents one character, while bit is used to represent a 0 or 1,
Thanks guys, i never knew that lol

What I find interesting on this is
Other major design wins include Micron’s MT29F8G16ADBDAH4 8Gb (1GB) NAND Flash (for storage) and Broadcom’s BCM4329 Bluetooth, WiFi and FM radio IC.
FM Radio, is this the same as the Nexus One, comes with the hardware but no application/kernel support?
I think I read somewhere that they left the FM-radio out cause of battery consumption and it really was a drainer on my htc desire hd.

Not quite, they use bits, which is 8 times what you think you are getting...if they say 8 meg broadband, you're getting 8 megabits or 1 megabytes broadband.

Just a quick question. Sony Ericsson spec for Xperia Play is 512 MB of RAM, but the Elpida DDR2 RAM is just 2Gb which means only 256 MB of RAM. Is there another 256 MB of RAM somewhere else?
I have a 16gb card with a 1gb partition and my phone is telling me I have 13.77 available. If 1gb is 1024 MB then where is the rest of my storage at?
Sent from within my pocket.
The manufacturer uses a conversion factor of 1 mb = 1000 kb (and same for GBs) while manufacturing the card and the computer/phone uses the factor 1024 to calculate the size. Thus it seems that you lose storage. This happens in all storage devices.

OK, Thanks. I did the math using 1024MB=1GB / 16GB=15.62GB and I'm still coming up almost 500MB short but, I guess that's used for formatting or something.
can anyone please tell me why my phone is showing just 349 mb's of total ram instead of 512 ram, while my 7 surround shows 475 instead of 512.
475 is ok but 349 in my titan is not considerable.
Where do you see your ram? Anyway if is a program it could be 2 things or its showing the memory not on use or it takes off the memory reserved for the GPU but the Titan has 512 ram sure
Sent from my TITAN X310e using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
Actually i am using phone info it is showing that total memory is 349 mb and available memory is 193 mb. I used the other programs from marketplace but the same result.
I don't see why this would be an issue even?
I actually want to know that is there any issue with my phone or it is same amount of ram with all the titans.Please check in your phones.

Mine is 352MB. Looks like you are short changed
J/K. It's all the same.
On the other hand, my Galaxy S2 has 1GB of ram (800+ MB reported) and running dual core 1.2 GHz CPU. And yet, it still managed to be slower/slugish than my Titan running 1.5Ghz single core and 349MB of RAM.
I checked that, you have that ram 349mb because 150 Mb of ram are reserved for the graphic GPU, like in the integrated GPU of laptops, you have 512MB of ram but the system only sees the part that is not reserved for te graphics

Thanks for your replies,now i am able to understand the concept of ram usage.
My P765 shows 775 M.B. RAM. (See screenshot), LG claims 1 GB RAM. I know it is never exactly 1 GB but I have seen around 850-900 MB on other devices from other manufacturers with 1 GB RAM.
Mine shows 767 mb on CM10.1. I'm fairly certain our phone does have 1 gig of ram, but some of it is dedicated to the GPU.

My question is about the user available internal storage. According ot GSMArena the device has 4GB of internal storage, but I see only 1.78GB available. Why is this so? I'm new to the whole smartphone/android thing and I don't know if the other ~2.2GB are some system reserve or something like that.

Most of the internal storage is occupied by the ROM itself and by the then by installed applications. Now LG, being a company that develops the stock ROMs for its devices on top of Android, sadly produces ROMs that are pretty bloated in terms of unnecessary services and applications, something that has a huge effect of on the consumed space of internal storage. If you buy your device from a cellular operator, you will often get some additional bloatware from your operator as well. Only solution is to use a custom ROM like CM 10.2, which consumes much less resources comparing to the stock one. However, as it's still Android, it will consume considerable internal storage space.
I think you didn't fully understand my question.
Internal 4 GB, 768 MB RAM
This is from gsmarena. Now, how exactly is it that we only have 1.7 GB of internal storage and 588MB of RAM available to us?

its what digdis said.2 of 4 gb are occupied by the system partition.and when every manufacturer says 4 gb,its never exactly 4gb.its about 3.6.just like the pc hard disk.if you have for example 320gb hard disk,the actual size is about 298gb.
the same for the ram.if you have a 2gb ram phone,it actually has about 1.7gb.
our phone with stock rom has 619 mb ram.cm 10.2 has 588.i dont know why exactly(neutrondev knows),but i think it has to do with allocation.

I disagree on the hard disk statement. Hard disk driver are simply made with a rounded capacity. 320 gigabytes of hard disk space is 320 000 000 000 bytes, which is normally incorrect since 320 gigabytes = 343597383680 bytes.
343 597 383 680 bytes / 1024 = 335 544 320 kilobytes
335 544 320 kilobytes / 1024 = 327 680 megabytes
327 680 megabytes / 1024 = 320 gigabytes
Manufacturers make hard disks by the following formula:
320 000 000 000 bytes / 1024 = 312 500 000 kilobytes
312 500 000 kilobytes / 1024 = 305 175,78125 megabytes
305 175,78125 megabytes / 1024 = 298,0232238769531 gigabytes
There is no locked/hidden space on hard disks, because there's nothing to lock/hide(if you apply the actual correct calculations). The only exception to this are hidden partitions on the hard drive used for recovery, but people who actually understand computers never use hidden partitions on the hard drive for recovering data, but rather use software to make an image of the system and store it on external storage(external HDDs, flash drives, cloud, etc).
The case with P710(and a number of other devices), I think, is much different, since I don't actually see these "hidden" or "missing" ~2.2 GB anywhere(or if we apply the correct calculations - ~2GB).
RAM memory is always manufactured with the correct calculations. 512MB is real 512MB. 1GB is real 1024MB. With that said, out of 768MB of ram on our device we only see 588MB. So my questions are:
"Where are the other roughly 2GB of storage? Are they used for pure system purposes and are made unaccessable by manufacturers or Android developers?" and "Where are the other roughly 180MB of RAM? Are they also used for addressing hardware or system purposes and are made unaccessable by manufacturers or Android developers?"
[SOLVED]
I found the answers I was looking for. The "invisible" space from storage is taken up by the OS.
This can be locked.
