Help why ram only 176mb

[djzame]

When i purchased the phone i knew that it had 256 mb of ram but when i checked with ram manager it said that i have 176mb of total ram what i going on???

I'm not familiar with your phone but I'm guessing the missing ram is allocated for the phone's internal use.

i thought that too but from these 176mb i only have available 70-80mb. the other mbs are consumed from the programs....so after all i purchased it with 256 in mind and then i find myself with 70-80mbs in the best situation....thats a bit unfair.. i am sure ther is a way to unlock all the 256 mbs.. plz help me forum

The short answer is no.

The sonic has 256 MB of RAM ( Random access memory used by the LINUX based android operating system to operate the phone. )

and 256 MB of Storage. ( Where the operating system and programs are stored.)

You then have the ability to add a Micro SD card for additional storage.

Linux and thus Android does not handle RAM the same way as Windows. Free RAM does not necessarily mean better performance in this case.
