Hi, according to file commander from the 11,2 gb available to use I have 8.5 occupied, but I installed some space analysers and they say only have 5,83 occupied. How do I get those 3gb back??
The system already occupies the difference between the 16gb advertised and the 11.2 given. What is occupying the rest?
Thanks
No one has noticed this?
I factory reset to get it back. I think it's leftover from upgrades

Every place I have read and seen said 4gb rom 1gb ram. However every place I check on the phone says 1.* rom. What happened to the other 3? They don't show up anywhere what am I missing?
I thought it was 1gb ROM and 4gb internal memory.... Even tho the 4gb is eaten up regardless

1 gig of ram and 1 gig of usable internal memory. As far as actual ROM space, I doubt we'll know prior to getting S off.
How much ram are you getting in the android app manager in settings > applications >running?
I am getting well under 1gb, 360mb free 180 in use, so only 540?!?

hmm... mine says the same thing???
Ram gets used up by the OS, background services, the launcher etc, caches etc and gets freed up when necessary like most modern OSes. S tablet has 1 gig of ram to put it in perspective I usually have around 400 or so free according to task manager when not running *anything* but only had like 200-250 free on 512meg Viewsonic Gtablet.
the sony tablet has 1GB ram, the system itself takes up around 400-500MB RAM so that it can make sure the OS can run smoothly, the remaining 400-500MB RAM is available to you for additional apps and stuff
So are you saying that the RAM the system uses won't show up in "in use"?
I think that's why he says. It is the same as the internal storage. If you add up (mine 16gb ver) the 9gb + 4gb, you get only 13gb instead of 16gb.
I was confusing about it before. But I went to BB and tried other HoneyCome tablets. They all give the same thing.

Yeah... what's with the 13gb. Noticed the same.
I'm already down to 6gb of the 9gb reported. Zinio ispretty heavy on its content.

Yeah. Crack it open and go to town.
So I noticed it says this phone has 16gb of memory, but when I look at the phone storage it says 9.75gb total and internal store 2gb. Is this another memory thing like the desire z / g2 having 4gb of memory but only 1.5gb user accessible?
Same here.
yep it is blocked off to OS and stuff
mine say the same. not sure how they keep getting away with this.
Theoretically it's 16... Then they partition for the OS and read only files. All storage devices are the same way.
They could have advertised 10 gb and be a little more realistic
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?

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!!!

Hello,
I'm asking if it is worth buying the 3gb ram version over the 2gb ram since it costs about 1000 EGP more for the 3gb ram and it comes without warranty.
The 2gb model costs 3400 EGP with 1 year warranty
The 3gb model costs 4300 EGP without warranty
Yes bro, go with 3 GB ram, 2 gb is not sufficient

Unequivocally yes.
You get twice the storage on top of 1 gb more ram. Easily worth the extra money. You can recover a hard bricked phone yourself (I have done it twice) but you need very steady hands and some knowledge of small electronics repair. So basically, be careful and always follow directions carefully so you don't hard brick your phone.
I have the 2gb, the ram is somehow enough but the internal storage isn't... You cannot move the apps to sd so if you install large apps go to the 3gb ram.
I have 2GB model and it is enough...it gives even better score in RAM then 3GB version...but I would like more storage but its enough for me, cuz I keep media and everything on microsd...and you are still left with about 9GB of apps you can install...

How about gaming performance? Is it quite smooth as on the 3GB version or you face any lag? That what would matter in addition to the storage since I'll root my phone and could force move the apps with these App2SD applications.

Nope, it is same performance as on 3GB...
You can install apps on microsd, but performance in this apps will be reduced... So im not using that.
So the gaming performance? It's same.
But still, I'd prefer to buy 32 gb version. You know, More games = more storage.
I have the 3GB and easily use 2gb of ram.. so... theres that...
Absolutely...huge difference.
also price difference is very less
Take that 3gb, I regret to have 2gb of RAM as I know this phone consumes alot of RAM resources than my previous phone Zenfone 5.

It depends on how you use your phone, like what apps you will install, whether you clear background apps frequently... If you have a phone with 2 GB RAM and 64-bit SoC, you can have a idea on how performance on 2 GB variant is.
