[Q] How is htc gonna put a full filesystem on 1 gb of internal memory? - HTC Sensation

One of the things that bug me about the sensation is the ridiculous amount of internal memory it has, i now we'll be using the sd card most of the time, but i cannot stop wondering how is htc gonna do to fit the whole filesystem on 1 gb of internal memory? i currently have an inspire 4g and even using a rom without the at&t bloatware i only have available 1.2 gb of the internal memory's 4 gb

I'm pretty sure the 1gb is just for apps. Then system stuff has its own partition, then some left over for user storage

It has 4GB internal memory, of which 1gb can be accessed by the user

I'm pretty sure it has 1gb, the evo3d has 4.
For what I know there will be 550mb free, there should be a video showing it.

The evo 3d has 1 gig of memory 3 inaccessible to the user. The g2 had the same so did the my touch 4g same as always with HTC. They always had 4 gig rom.

Yes, but they also have 4gb rom on the spec sheet. Or 1.x gb accessible to user. The sensation only has 1gb rom according to specs.

I honestly doubt that HTC has 1 gig rom only alone since we actually have 1 gig accessible to the user. That already makes 2. The spec sheet is wrong on that aspect every one thought that g2 had 4 gigs of space but it only had 1 usable by us.

You might be right but every phone on the htc site has the physical/ total memory on the spec sheet. For example the desire has 512mb accordion to spec, well that is not the free space accessible to the user. I highly doubt this is any different for the sensation.
Also a Dutch tech site wrote, after a hands on at mwc, that the free memory was 550mb with a total memory of 1gb.

The g2 does have a 4gig internal chip same as the sensation. But because of the way the chip is set up and way files are stacked it basically is a 2gig but read and writes faster. So there is 2gig total basically but radio and system pretty leave roughly 1 gig. No big deal though.

You can look here : http://www.htc.com/us/products/sensation4g-tmobile#tech-specs
It says : "768 MB RAM, 4 GB Internal Storage (1 GB user addressable)"
I think that 1 Go for apps (+ legal App 2 Sd) and the 8 Go microSD are widely enough.

Now that's more like it! , thanks!

Damn, moving from 16GB internal (Vibrant) to 1GB internal is going to be a pain, but I'll handle it.

Vodafone uk confirm 4gig & 1gig user.

But even the 16gb internal vibrant wasn't true app installable since it was 16 internal sdcard. Vibrant only truly used 2gb for apps.
That said, when I dropped my POS Vibrant for a G2, I was disappointed by only having 1.13gb internal for apps, but I've never gone above 500mb, that's roughly 170 apps which is nuts for a phone anyway. Lol, I'd rather have the 1gb of ram that everyone else its getting.

What's the spec on Desire S? MT4G has 768 ram, 2gig internal memory and 8gig of sdcard
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
everything I have found the Desire S shows it as having same specs as ours (some sites say 512 others say 768 for RAM) but 3.7 inch screen instead of 3.8, tactile buttons like Vibrant, 1.1 GB internal compared to our 4GB... only upside I see to the Desire S is that it will have Gingerbread and Sense 2.1 from the get go... however we will have that thanks to our Developer Community before then.

How many free rams for htc sensation??

I'm planning to upgrade my phone to sensation before galaxy s3. I would like to find out before I purchase, especially when installed ics firmware. Thx

There's 768MB total.
Around 581MB is for apps. Rest reserved for system.

storage issues

it's well known the one xl has very limited storage. with 16gb to start, 2.34 gb to internal (1.95 gb available on mine), 9.93 gb phone (821mb available on mine), and the other 4~ish gb ????, i only have room for another app or two a few pictures and a few songs. anybody come up with a good solution for this? other than cloud storage? i like music... A LOT, so i prefer to keep it on the phone to save data and battery. and i like a little freedom with my apps and pics.
Wrong forum. This belongs in Q&A, not Development.

Cloud storage. Mind you I have nearly 600 pics and 3 gigs of music and I still have 4 gigs left.plus all my app are installed.

If I were a huge media user I'd get one of those goflex wireless drives.
Here a link they sound awesome, but I wouldn't use that much space, cloud works good for me.

Also airstash looks promising for half the price and add your own SD Card.

it's a damned shame that it looks like OTG won't work for us since the USB port doesn't supply power.

Android 4.0 RAM Requirement

What is the optimal amount of RAM a phone must have to run Ice Cream sandwhich efficently?
I think ics requires at least 1gig. Custom roms may be able to run on less but it's not ideal.

Having used a Droid OG with 256mb of RAM on ICS, I can honestly say it sucks balls. There's virtually no multitasking, everything closes.
But 512mb seems to be good nonetheless. The HTC Aria with 384mb of RAM has a pretty good ICS ROM as well...
As long as its stock ICS, it doesn't require too much RAM at all. 512mb seems to be a good, solid amount however.

Optimus 2X is coming out with ICS soon (finally).
It has 384MB ram available, 128 goes to the GPU.
Will report back after it's out, but it should be fine.

I know, but more attention to finer details never killed anyone
Plus it's worthwhile mentioning how much is restricted to GPU usage, some phones might use less, or more. So saying 512MB as a blanket statement isn't going to cover all phones.

You can say that again. My x8 is barely coping. 168mb of ram on a good day
Ics runs smooth on legeng with 300+ ram. Don't know the exact value.
Mororola mailstome had 512 mb of ram and this enought for ICS and JB.
While there is no official requirement (and there are ports to the G1 with a beefy 96mb of ram) its accepted that 512mb would be required to run it well

i think that the requirement is approxymatly between 300 because my galaxy ace work very nice with 278 ram 4.04 :laugh:

[Q] Problem with RAM of HTC one S after flash maximushd rom

Thanks all in advanced

HTC One S ville it's 1gb ram.
Buy a phone with 2,3 gb ram.
I think all ram I have is 782mb and 119 is free (used =782-119)
I also used Cpuz to check and get result as picture. Total is 782 and free is 129. I have calculated % of free by 129/782 =~16% like in the pics.
I sure that my 782mb ram is total ram, not used ram.
So I want ask where is remaining my ram
Thanks

Maximus HD is a SENSE rom. Ram eater. Uninstal or deactivate what you don't need.
Or better try a 4.4.2 rom.
I think you can ignore the total RAM amount. It might be that the OS cannot see it all because the kernel reserved some.
You still have 1 GB but not all of it is accessible by the apps.
Take my comment with a grain of salt as I've not looked at the source code.
