[Q] How much RAM do we really have? - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

Hi guys.
I read on the SE Xperia neo specs it comes with 512 MB RAM. However, my AnTuTu benchmark tools reads ~333MB. On ES Task Manager, including both used and unused RAM memory sums up to ~300.
I read somewhere this is because some of the RAM memory is the Adreno 205 GPU memory only.
Can anyone tell for sure?

~320MB (from my readings)
+
~128MB (for Android)
=
~450MB
That doesn't make 512MB...

My phone got about 40MB free ram under normal......
What's wrong with it ...

Too many widgets and other random stuff running in the background.

I noticed the same thing...

One part is taken by the GPU, another by Android itself.

What? Only 40 MB? In my old Xperia X8 i have got 60 MB i think your phone have got some problem =) in my neo there is normally 130-200 MB free.

150mb。。。。。

100mb+ here most of the time

100-150 mb.

2/3 of our ram is eaten up by the system which sux !!

On my LG P500 (which also has 512MB RAM), when I go to Settings > Applications > Running Services, I can see on the graphic underneath my screen: RAM: 98MB used, 294 MB free (this adds up to 392MB).
Then again, it's got a different chipset so less RAM could be in use by the graphics chip (MSM7227 with Adreno200 here).

Is there any hacked kernel to "steal" RAM from system?
Thanks.
This same topic has been posted before in another thread. Plz do a search before creating a post. Dont create a post just for the sake of creating a post !!
JB ROMs are using 360 MB RAM. That is all we can get I think.

Do we really have 1GB of RAM?

I have been so busy catching up with all the amazing stuff Da_G has been pumping out (thanks!) that I didn't even take a look at this until now. I am showing that we only have 733MB of avaliable RAM. That is a far cry from 1024MB.
I am seeing 733MB w/ both Android System Info and with the built-in Task Manager.
Does anyone know if we indeed have 1024MB of RAM and... if it is just assigned else where?
Yes we have 1GB every phone has RAM missing because the system is holding it.
I remember one time the OS didn't support that much not sure if that's the case now but the phone has 1GB to my knowledge and.what I've read
sent from AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note Dual Core 1.83 GHz
Just like memory... Do we really have 16gb? Its never what they say... All marketing!
Sent from my SGH-I717M
I have also read that is has 1GB everywhere, but missing 291MB seems like an awful lot.
I beleive my Atrix showed 897MB. I just seems like an awful lot 'mssing' w/ the Note.

I am with you on that! Makes me
I noticed the same, it's showing short but using the same app(system tuner pro) on my G2 it showed the correct 512mb.
It's not false marketing; it's fact. There is 1GB of RAM in the phone. I'm pretty sure the rest of the RAM is used by the GPU. My GS2 has the same thing, shows about 800MB of RAM available to apps.
What does it matter? I usually have 3-500MB of free RAM. Have you ever managed to fill the RAM with processes? Do you know anyone who has? Android clears old apps from memory even when there is enough free so I have never even come close to filling my RAM.
Graphics memory
As with any computer your phone has a gpu which needs graphics memory and because the gpu is integrated (SOC) it takes its memory off the top. This can be seen with any computer you have with integrated graphics it will section off some memory for your gpu.
As for the flash memory space many issues can take it down such as the file system, operating system, it just depends but trust me before the phone was turned on and android installed it had 16gb of memory and 1gb of ram
I'm about 100% CPU and GPU can't share ram as they do completely different tasks. They could have just added the cram and the ram to get 1GB though... But otherwise, the missing ram is from system tasks and the OS.

Do we have a reference or any proof of this?
And to the post directly above this, any computer that does not have a dedicated graphics card uses shared system memory, just like our phones. 733MB is just quite a bit away from 1024MB.
they can and do use the same memory because they are the same soc aka system on chip. all this is integrated.
So if you built a PC yourself and loaded it with 2gig RAM and booted into windows it would have 2 gig FREE memory?

I am not talking about FREE. I am talking about the system as a whole. Do we really have 1GB of RAM? Where it is being used I am not so concerned about at this point, but it may help us figure out if we do indeed have 1GB (Where is the remaing 291MB assigned).
The missing 291 is being used by android..to load the launcher Widgets and everything else in the background.

i have international version of note.its same way on this one.the missing ram is held by system tasks.as for 16gb storage memory.if you wipe all area on usb storage .u will have 16gb but not a working phone.another thing about free ram.dont use task manager to stop apps.all it does is make the phone lag.leave everything running.

You have 300-500 MB FREE ram? My note is bone stock and I'm running at 400/700 MB RAM (meaning 300 MB free). This is also when I "Clear memory" too. Something wrong with my apps?

I have 700 free. With just 2 home screens 2 Widgets and a few apps and live wallpaper.

Two dozen open apps on mine right now, and it shows 283 MB used, 302 MB free.
On my AT&T gs2 I consistantly show 830 to 850 MB free. On my note I only see a lil over 700. How can this have less ram than my gs2? I have over 80 app on my gs2 and less than half that on my note!!!

[Q] xperia s and ram : 1go or 697mo

hello,
i'm a new user of xperia s and i'm curious
And i would like to knows why there is only 697mo of ram available and no more ? (1go normally, and for example the galaxy s2 has 830mo available)
thanks for yours answers
The rest is allocated by the system.
some said it's for the gpu (as adreno 220 dont have dedicated ram), some said it's for the android os itself.
dunno for sure. but looking around i found:
sgs3: around 700 mB available ram
hox: around 900 mB available ram, but the free ram is about the same with sgs3 (or even less, bcause of sense ui)
so i think it's just the manufacturer interpretation for the used ram and free ram.
ok thanks a lot for quickly answers
Is there anyway to increase the ram availability like around 700-750Mb

No.
ram manager could increase the free available ram ? doesn't it ?

only CM9 can improve amount of ram for user (i had that with girl htc wildifre with CM7)..
but not quitly sure if that is the same with SXS

Yes, AOSP should use a bit less RAM. Sony's skin is nicely optimized though.

ram unlock ?

it's mentioned in features of xperia neo that it has 512MB of ram
well
in setting>application>running services
not only the amout of ram is not 512 but it changes using different ROMs for example in codename 9.2 i had 256MB and i codename 9.3 i have 320MB of rams
so i figured that there's gotta be a way to unlock the rest of it if i am right
any ideas ?
thanks

Well, it is needed for gpu also. So some is dedicated to that. And a lot of other stuff that Sony thinks was necessary.
When devs give u increased ram, they know what they do,
trying to do to much of this stuff may permanently brick your phone.
So be happy with what u get....
" Always forgive your enemy, nothing will ever annoy him more."
First of all.
use a program to report totall ram
the built-in task manager is crap
It always reports random numbers.
Just a notice:
if you install v6 built-in manager will report way less total ram on gignerbread
(oh and the rest of the ram around 200mbs are used for your gpu camera and such things..

[Q] Ram?

That's normal, 280 MB is total free ram for apps, the rest for OS it's self, and we can't increase it to 384 MB.
You can refer to below answer :

384MB is TOTAL RAM of Xperia X10. Cannot be full 384MB in your X10 Running Services RAM. It's divided into 256MB of RAM (displayed normally)..and remaining of 128MB (will not be displayed) is for graphic use. But kernel in RAM maximum can be only reached 288MB if i'm not mistaken, if switch modded kernels. Hope helps
