It should be the free RAM I think.

Where did you get this number?

[Guest bga]

It seems that the hungarian T-Mob version only contains 256MB physical RAM, 161MB usable.

But the display is still AMOLED.

Can anybody confirm?

[Guest vapeti72]

Hello,

Somebody, if you can please upload the ZTE Blade hungarian (T-Mobile Hungary) version ROM somewhere.

Thanks

Helló.

ha van valakinek magyarországi ZTE Blade-je (T-mobile), és ha tudja hogy kell leszedni róla a ROM-ot, töltse fel valahová.

Előre is köszi.

(Angliából hozatott cuccom van (San Francisco) és ezek a főzött romok nem nagyon jöttek be, ahogy láttam a T-nél mintha eredeti ZTE Blade ROM-mal adnák, mindenféle T-s személyre szabás nélkül)

[Guest bga]

It seems that the display is TFT. So it's a nice chinese version Blade.

Somebody may try the untouched version of the leaked chinese 2.2 ROM.

A mobilearenasok kipróbálták és úgy tűnik nem oled, hanem tft a kijelző. A 256 MB ram pedig biztos.

Viszont ezek szerint ez ugyanaz a verzió, mint amit a kínaik kaptak, tehát _elvileg_ az eredeti kiszivárgott 2.2-es rom mehet rajta?!

[Guest Hofy]

Response in Hungarian:

Akkor ez szerintem kimeríti a vásárló megtévesztését, mivel a PDF-ben és a használati utasításban 512 mb van írva, AMOLED kijelzővel.

Ma viszem vissza, meglátjuk hogy reagálnak. Tudtam én, hogy ennyiért lesz valami catch a dologban, mivel azét mégis csak Magyarországon vagyunk, az ügyeskedők mekkájában.

"Fő kijelző méretek,

felbontás, színtér

3.5 hüvelyk, 800*480

Fényképezőgép a készülék Érzékelő típusa CMOS

hátulján

Fénykép felbontás 3.2Megapixel

Összes belső memória 512MB

Eltávolítható memóriakártya microSD kártya támogatott

A memóriakártya maximális mérete 16 GB"

Ez van a T-mobile hivatalos magyar kézikönyvében.

Any way to see how big is the built-in memory (256 mb or 512)?

Meg lehet valahogy nézni, hogy mekkora a beépített memória (256 vagy 512 mb)?

Update:

English:

-Its definitely TFT, and T-mobile didn't really hide this "feature" at all (it's printed on the packaging and shown on the homepage as well). But this TFT is very well readable and has quite good colors really, so I could care less about the AMOLED display (which has issues with whites and color processing sometimes, whereas TFT does not in general).

-The ram is still a mystery for me, but it looks like a standard 256 mb ripoff to me. This is not a major drawback though, as 2.2 will be smaller and more ram/rom efficient, and 3.0 OS won't run on this machine anyway.

I'll definitely go and ask the T-mobile guys why are they advertising their product with 512 mb ram, when in reality it's like 200-256 mb maximum.

Ironically, I could have bought this phone for less (PAYG or something) with AMOLED screen and 512 mb ram from the UK. What is hilarious is that the salaries are like 4-5 times higher there, yet the phone costs less, and can do more in theory (personally I don't really care about the AMOLED display, has its drawbacks, but the -256 mb hurts).

It's still a good bargain, but in my opinion people here (in Hungary) should wait with the purchase (its price will go down after a few weeks). Or even better, ask a friend from the UK :rolleyes:

Hungarian:

Na srácok kinyomoztam a dolgokat:

-TFT 100%. Ez nem baj, mert AMOLED-nek amúgy is vannak gondjai, és ez a TFT nem abból a szar T-Pulse féle fajtából való, nagyon szép színei vannak, könnyen olvasható akár napfényben is, feketék és a fehérek is rendben vannak (nem rózsaszín meg etc).

-A ram fogalmam sincs mennyi, de én nagyon hajlok a 256 mb felé (mivel 160 mega szabad hely volt rajta alapból, és kb 80-90-et foglal az Eclair 2.1 Android OS). Ez kb indirekt félrevezetés volt a T-mobile részéről, szóval erről őket is meg fogom kérdezni, hogy pontosan hogyan is gondolták. Ezért persze nem fogok elkezdeni pereskedni meg szaladni a fogyasztóvédelemhez, de legalább updateljék a Guide-jukat, és ne 512-őt hazudjanak rá.

Az a vicc, hogy Angliában kb fele ennyiért megkapod kvázi-kártyafüggetlenként a telefont (mondjuk nem túristaként, az is igaz) AMOLED kijelzővel és 512 mb rammal (úgy, hogy ott 4-5x-ös fizetések vannak).

Így is megéri, de én azért sokak helyében kivárnék (ha nem annyira fontos), mivel 2011-ben rengeteg Androidos gép fog érkezni (még alacsonyabb áron). Legjobb az, ha valami haverodat megkéred, hogy vegye meg neked külföldön, azt rápakolsz egy Modaco-s romot.

In a terminal (or adb) type the command "free"

An Orange San Francisco will report a total of 424744kb

Okay,thx!

Now we have our answer,because we have only 166Mb!

erm despite the ram who says this amazing device cant run gingerbread? if the G1 can run froyo why cant this run gingerbread?where does it state the required requirements for gingerbread, state an OFFICIAL source please :rolleyes:

i don't like the fake rumors of 1ghz requirement of gingerbread.the tmobile G2 will get it and its second gen qualcom snap dragon 800mhz. and i am fully confident that this device can run gingerbread.

as it being called 3.0, again i haven't read anywhere officially it being called that i have seen 2.3 some random sources saying 2.5 and others say 3.0.

all we know its gingerbread but more sources are now saying 2.3 :huh:

if you're unsure call it gingerbread :huh: if its from an official source, link it i'd like to read. thank you :D

[Guest Hofy]

Well, I dunno about RAM req of the Gingerbread, but 256 mb seems quite low.

I'm confident that it will run the official Froyo without problems, but I don't have any official sources for you m8 on the Gingerbread release, I'm sorry (was reading rumors as well!).

thanks for the quick reply. it will get an official froyo update i know of that as the china one will be released in december. so a more stable rom may be able to be built from the official release, or there abouts.on the other hand i am more than confident if the pulse got a cm6 build on it, i.e. froyo that whats to say that the blade cant get a port of the CM 7 (when it comes out ofcourse) it may not get every single feature gingerbreads ment to include but hey i cant speak for the future. all i know is i have faith in the devs.this device is becoming very popular globally.

Here's the hungarian rom dump: Download

Mirror, from my own home connection. Only use this as last resort. Download

Build.prop interesting parts:

ro.build.id=ERE27

ro.build.display.id=TM_P729TV1.0.0B02

ro.build.version.incremental=20101026.161715

ro.build.version.sdk=7

ro.build.version.release=2.1-update1

ro.build.date=Tue Oct 26 16:29:03 CST 2010

ro.build.date.utc=1288081743

I can confirm, that this one is the chinese version with 256mb ram, and normal tft screen. Also i might add, that i find the screen quality quite bad, compared to my old galaxy spica(aint amoled either).

Ok, seems like it segfaults for me as well.

Just to let you know that all you guys saying the UK version of the Blade is AMOLED, it is not, it's OLED, it doesn't have an active matrix.

Someone Upload a Clockwork recovery backup is to please T-Mobile soft-rol because my phone is dead!

[Guest pbando]

It seems hardware acceleration is oFF like in orange stock ROM. Heapsize is 24:

debug.sf.hw=0

dalvik.vm.heapsize=24m

[Guest The-One]

Just to let you know that all you guys saying the UK version of the Blade is AMOLED, it is not, it's OLED, it doesn't have an active matrix.

Thats right and wrong because and OLED is an AMOLED with a diferent pixel control method.

However for the human eye there are 0 diferences in behaviour and color display.

So in the end its an AMOLED.

[Guest kallt_kaffe]

The ROM seems to run fine on 512Mb blades aswell. Running it right now. Very clean. Still has the ugly inverted menus but there is no "extra" bloatware except for eval versions of roadsync and docstogo. Also touchpal is replaced with XT9 Text input.

No setup wizard, goes directly to launcher.
