Guest gusthy Posted June 2, 2010 Report Posted June 2, 2010 All the hw specs say that Pulse has 192 MB of RAM. We see only 100 MB. Where is the rest????
Guest DanWilson Posted June 2, 2010 Report Posted June 2, 2010 All the hw specs say that Pulse has 192 MB of RAM. We see only 100 MB. Where is the rest???? Used for system stuff like the ROM, and, the / directory in root explorer or astro or whatever... I think.
Guest gusthy Posted June 2, 2010 Report Posted June 2, 2010 Used for system stuff like the ROM, and, the / directory in root explorer or astro or whatever... I think. Hmmmm, ROM is a separate one according to the specs... I am talking about the DRAM.
Guest zerosignull Posted June 2, 2010 Report Posted June 2, 2010 Hmmmm, ROM is a separate one according to the specs... I am talking about the DRAM. I was wondering about this too. I tried a cheeky mem=138 on the kernel init to see what would happen (nothing did). Its annoying that its advertised with 192 mb ram but only 110 is available for the system.

Can't remember where I saw this. Has anyone dismantled the phone to check whether we do actually have 192MB DRAM?
Guest Stevos Posted June 2, 2010 Report Posted June 2, 2010 So does anyone have a breakdown of RAM and ROM sizes and the amount we actually have to play with?
Guest Tspike Posted June 2, 2010 Report Posted June 2, 2010 What does Android System Info show for the Pulse?
Guest Stevos Posted June 2, 2010 Report Posted June 2, 2010 (edited) Well the linux free command reports 108008Kb total for me Edited June 2, 2010 by Stevos

Guest Speckles Posted June 2, 2010 Report Posted June 2, 2010 It is 192MB, but as far as I'm aware it is in two segments of 128MB and 64MB. Without the datasheet for the SOC I can't determine why. Maybe the memory map requires a hole at 128MB, or maybe the two segments are at different addresses. Linux requires the memory to be in one chunk as far as I'm aware.
