Xperai S - 768MB instead of 1GB? - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

My phone shows only 768MB of total RAM. Though specifications says (gsmarena and other sites) 1GB. So where is missing 256MB?

Did you at least tried searching? This has been asked a thousand times...
The rest is being used by the system...

They soldered a wrong ram module. Send it back.

It's total not free RAM and all Android devices even older Xperia models shows total RAM correctly. Though this is the first Android device I've seen with false advertised RAM.

So my older X10 Mini Pro also had problems, because it also didn't showed correctly. And you searched badly, then. Because there is a lot of topics and comments about it.

Try installing MIUI roms. It shows 1GB ram but 800mb full almost all the time. Yeah it sucks but it largely has to do with the processor. I think HTC One series in the US has the same issue as S4 eats some of the 1GB ram.

I'm using GO Task Manager and it showing only 697MB (total)... and most of the times, 40% of that available RAM is being utilized by some APPs that I don't even using or opened... we really need the ICS...

I don't think you need more than 300+ ram to use any app or games.the remaining ram is more than enough.

Linux usually caches alot of data, like Prefetch on your computer
I thought ICS would have a better RAM management... like in my Galaxy Note (running ICS 4.0.3), those APPs or programs I'm not using or opened are not automatically running in the background... unlike now, even I forced them to close, they will still keep running and consumed memory...

I couldn't send a picture over viber the other month because it said I had low memory! I had to reboot the phone and since then I have not encountered the same problem.

RAM consumption of NovaThor android builds

why any rom built for NovaThor cpu has an exaggerated consumption of ram compared to other phones with different cpu?

I read somewhere that culprit is Mali400 GPU which is quite RAM hungry.
Sent from my Xperia U using xda premium
I have read that our GPU is Single Core and also Downclocked!
Really disappointed ...
The GPU will definitely use some of the phone's RAM but as I understand it, the 380MB you're seeing is with that RAM already allocated, i.e. the phone actually has 512MB of RAM but is showing less as the GPU has ~128MB allocated to it.
why to compare like Xperia P to a Neo V with ram hungry etc? the 1st thing is neo v have a single core and anothor chip and an XP have a dualcore with also another chip like novathor. so sorry but this is not a usefull thread, just my meaning

I was reading that nova Thor with Mali allocate more RAM for a better graphical experience . 3d videos images and more . that sucks . you make me feel better about my neo v and worse part st Ericsson is going through managerial changes. So hopefully they will have later libs and sources when new management takes office

But with same app opened in the two devices, the ram consumption is very different. All the 2 dev. have 380mb ram total.

[U,SOLA,GO] Slow NAND / I/O

You have noticed right that Xperia U, Sola, Go is slow at times, and you might wonder why it's like this. It has come to conclusion that this issue is related to our phones internal memory (NAND) and the issue is that it's slow and unreliable.
The Sony Xperia U, Go and Sola uses the same NAND memory, the sdin5c2 and is made by Sandisk, here is a datasheet of the NAND:
http://omapworld.com/iNAND_e_MMC_4_41_IF_data_sheet_v1_0[1].pdf
I have done some benchmarking of the NAND memory now, and my theory of it being slow seems correct, especially when it comes to the random write and read speed, which needs to be good for the device to operate in a good way,
Here is some of my benchmark results:
Xperia U

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Nexus 7 (Comparisment to see what's normal):
Seem's like Sony have been chosing a cheap and unreliable NAND memory, as these benchmark results really shows how bad it is. Also the slowdown of the phone while downloading apps and such shows it also.
Heres my task for all Xperia U, Sola and Go users, go to the Play Store and download the app called AndroBench and do a full benchmark, then post a screenshot of the result here so I can get a wider amount of tests so that we can see if it's just my NAND or everyones. Also post which device you use and what rom you use, as that might be useful.
This is the result of my XSola

But I have also a Acer Iconia B1 A71 Tablet and it has nearly the same result But it's 100-120€ Tablet so I think it's acceptable Will ask my brother if he can do it also on his Xperia Z
