T-Mobile Sapphire

[narke]

Hi,

My phone is T-Mobile Sapphire (may be same thing as HTC Maggic I think). Now I am wondering what's its RAM size. I went to the console and type in 'free' command, got the total memory is about 99xxx, that means about 100M RAM, it looks too small! Was I checking the right source? The spec. on the net says it should be 192M.

And, the Sapphire on my hand get a 3M camera, but the specification on net says that should be 5M. Which one is right?

Thanks in advance.

BTW: the version of the firmware is sapphire-user 1.6 DRC83 14721 ota-rel-keys

Regards,
woody

So what's the difference between PVT32A and PVT32B ?

While the PVT32A and PVT32B handsets share the same looks and many common elements, there are a few key differences internally which is why they need different ROMs.

* PVT32A handsets have 288MB total RAM (192MB usable by OS -- same as Hero handsets) and use the Qualcomm MSM7200A CPU.
* PVT32B handsets have 192MB total RAM (96MB usable by OS) and use the Qualcomm MSM7201A CPU.

And it's definitively a 3M camera.

thanks for the answering.

And,

1. How do I know mine is a 32A or 32B?
2. How do I know (by a linux command for example) how many RAM used by the OS?

Read the wiki, and you will find out.

How do I know (by a linux command for example) how many RAM used by the OS?

My first guess would be "free", like linux.
You may need a rooted phone though.

When I run it for my 32A, I get:

# free
free
              total         used         free       shared      buffers
  Mem:       196584       182124        14460            0        11220
 Swap:        49136         7536        41600
Total:       245720       189660        56060
#

Which means that I've got 196 Mb for the system, with 49Mb of swap.
182 Mb are actually used, letting ~14Mb free.

I'm running this rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633780
and even with "just" 14Mb free, it's responsive and snappy.

That's a great reference, thanks for the introduction!

After reader the paper, now I know I am 32B and the free reports me with about 100M RAM in total, so I think the OS used remained 96M.


I'm running this rom:
[ROM][PORT][32A] SuperD 1.10.2 Port 1.3 (Super Fast/Smooth/Stable!) [29-Mar-2010] - xda-developers
and even with "just" 14Mb free, it's responsive and snappy.

Actually, I found my gear is a little dull and I like to find a improvement by get a ROM. Could you also tell me how to determine what is my current ROM version in use? And, my ROM is Chinese, I don't mind to use English UI if that can give me a little speed up, I just wondering, if I go to use an English ROM, can I still use Chinese applications especially Input-Method applications?

I hop I am not so boring to you

Honestly I could not say.
You might have a bit more luck asking out on the xda forums.
Most of the rom developers are lurking there, and surely you will find the answer there.
I remember having seen roms with support for chinese input method.
