Hi All,
i run the geekbench 4 to see how much ram my device have and i see it says: memory: 5.07 GB which it should be 6GB as noted in description. why it says 5GB?
Perhaps the rest are system reserved RAM allocations?
When it comes to hardware the paper specs don't always reflect the required and available system resources.

some RAM is reserved for GPU.

If I Check the RAM I in total have only 320 MBs... Is that normal? Even System Monitor only Shows 344... How much Do you have?

Yeah its correct , the rest if im not wrong is allocated to system .
its the same in every 512 mb ram phone .
Ok. Thx. Good to know

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.
Mainly processor wise. Is this the fastest phone on the market currently?
I know the Xperia S is using a 1.5ghz dual core snapdragon CPU but is it as fast as the processor used in the Galaxy S2?
Memory and most other specs seem similar to all other new phones.
Although I did see recently that in a benchmark test it was quicker than the Galaxy Nexus for most if not all applications.
Just wondering how this phone will hold up after a year.

First year is OK. Arc came where they were dual cores and other stuff and it will even stay longer because phone's usability differs from person to another.
For what this phone is, it pretty good to me and what I have seen and after ICS hits this phone the true power will come out.
Very few applications are even designed/optimized for multi-core use, let alone quad-core.
While the lack of a quad-core will turn away most measurebators who want to buy the latest, glitziest quad-core model, from a software perspective there isn't much out there that will benefit from the extra 2 cores out yet for the next 2 years or so.
I'm a bit bummed about the 14.4 mbs d/l speed and the pathetic 2.1 bluetooth profile. They could have at least done 21mbs and Bt 3.0
Is it true this phone has 2gb RAM also?
I just checked my phone memory and it has 1.78gb free.
It's different from internal storage which I have 25.5gb free.

Hmm!
There is 1 partion for internal system storage, and it is about 2Gb, other partition we known as sdcard, ~ 28 Gb.
So i dont think the phone has 2 Gb ram!

Just like with PCs, there's a difference between internal storage and RAM.
AFAIK, the Xperia S has 512 MB RAM, of which about 340MB is available for applications to use while they are running. Right now, with the optimizations I have in place, I get about 370MB free RAM, which is a HUGE boost from the 100-140 I had on the Arc.

This is incorrect Xperia S has 1gb RAM. The 2GB partition is for app installs and the ~28gb is your internal sdcard storage. The 2gb and 28gb internal storage is just partitions off of the 32gb internal flash storage.

Yes, you may be right about the 1GB - I currently see 178MB used, 453MB free, so the rest would be used by the OS.
Still a massive boost over the Arc.

No this phone does not have the fastest CPU this is only downside to Xperia S. They released an excellent phone with last year CPU. The CPU Sony has is snapdragon scorpion or S3 while most phones being released in 2012 will have a snapdragon Krait or S4. The S4 actually performs faster than a Nvidia Tegra 3 quad core CPU which the HTC One X will have. If Sony released this phone with an S4 it would have best the ultimate android device IMO. However the Xperia S is still a good device that will last you a year easily and it beats a galaxy nexus which is the premium android phone right now as far as CPU.
Phones with 1gb of ram will have 256mb for dalvik virtual machine, so only 744 mb ram availble, and ram for system cache is about 200mb, that why you see free ram is about 400 mb.

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

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.

I am looking for a ROM that makes all the 512 MB RAM available in my SGS+. I think there are since I've seen one with 400 MB RAM available. I am still new to this forum, so I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to post. Thanks in advance.

I don't think, it's possible to have all 512Mb in use for your purposes. 512Mb is a summary capacity of RAM chips of your phone and part of that amount of RAM reserved for kernel needs(services,drivers, etc). From my experience:400Mb of availible RAM good enough cpacity for devices with 512Mb. There are 512Mb devices with smaller amount of availible RAM.
Sorry for my bad English.
I just got my s23 ultra. The vram was turned on to 8gb. Is that needed? Should I keep it going? I have the 512gb model with 12gb of ram already.
If you need that much ram you can use it but be aware that trying to use an ssd as ram, even a top spec ssd isn't anywhere near as fast as slow ra

I also own an S23 Ultra. Where did you find the VRAM info?
Mind that VRAM stands for Virtual RAM and should be the RAM available for your GPU, not the overall RAM of your device.

That's not right. The soc for these devices share RAM between cpu and gpu. There is no dedicated gpu RAM. Vram is simply virtual RAM on your ssd that is super slow compared to your actual ram
He means RAM plus...
Thanks all, I disabled it, I just wasn't sure why it was on by default. 12Gb will be plenty for me.

Never said it was dedicated to the GPU. I said it was "the RAM available for your GPU".
Thanks, @aureum.
In that case, it means that a defined amount the device's storage, which by default comes at 8GB, of "RAM Plus" which by default is 8GB, in support of the actual RAM.
@fil.lujan I suggest you don't disable the RAM Plus option. Leave it on at 8GB. It just takes 8GB from your storage and should be pretty unsignificant on the 512GB variant.
RAM plus is working as swap on windows, when you reach max RAM it should goes to RAM plus... However i read that ram plus is not for actual processing, only hibernate the apps for faster reloading them to RAM when needed, Some users od 22u point that disabling ram plus speed up the device I try it on my 23u and did not see any improvement when disabled so i left it at 8GB.

Considering how the SoC on this smartphone is already a beast, I don't see how it would be that impactful (in term of raw numbers).
But 12GB RAM is already enough for most users, topping to 12+8GB seems a little overkill.
UFS 4.0 is equivlant to Lpddr4 speed but allitle slower
And Ram plus aka V Ram will only be used when you have allot of apps open in back ground to prevent app restarts so it doesn't need to be as fast as the actual ram

It's worth shutting it off and seeing if it has any performance impact. Previous phones all suffered noticeable penalties and honestly with 12GB, it's not needed.

Well, I'd agree with you for older devices. Thought, the S23 Ultra is packed with high-performance UFS 4.0 storage. At worst, there would be the slightest performance impact (if none at all). Hence, I believe this time the pros are higher than the cons when keeping RAM Plus active, from my perspective.
