RAM on the Spectrum

[MrB206]

That's a poor way of looking at it. Of course the percentage of memory used matters...it shows you which device is more efficient in how it allocates to hardware. Regardless of how Android works, 1/4 of the available memory taken for hardware use isn't acceptable... There are far more efficient devices.

Or they just report it differently. It sounds like you'd be fine if the full amount was reported as available to the user. You have no real way of knowing if it really is since nothing on android eats THAT much ram... and when you actually need it...it'll free up some ram.

The whole argument is a bit pointless since they can make it show whatever they want.

Like I said I don't see the problem

I'm saying the S3 keeps 0.8 GB for its own system use. That's 40% of its overall RAM.

My fascinate. With 512mb ram shows this much free ram on aosp 4.2. Immediately after boot.
Plus I've had a HTC g1 and HTC droid eris. Both had kernels to squeeze out a extra 5-20mb ram.

The spec runs out of ram too often for me

Oh. That's not immediately after bit. I've been using my phone all day. Playing chaos runs for a bit and such.

My settings also report 742 but titanium reports ROM=1.05 GB, Internal=1.85 GB

 

[Rxpert83]

Neither of those are RAM.

That's space left on system versus internal storage

That 1.05 GB for ROM and 1.85 GB for user applications. The rest 1.1 GB using as RAM 742 MB and hardware memory 358 MB (probably video buffer or GPU VRAM, etc). In LG Spectrum phone have total 4GB memory.

How can I discover that information? Just got this phone. Cannot find any RAM info

SORRY, excuse my NOOBNESS. 775 APPROX

(took total from running apps)
