Default [Q] Not showing 1GB of memory?

Hey there team,

Checking Settings - Applications - Running services

Is only showing 211MB used, 316MB free which gives a total of 526MB

However in device information it says 1GB.

Is anyone able to confirm on their Acer what the total memory is showing under running services?

Cheers

I have the same not too sure there must be 1gb as 1. its advertised as 1gb and two its not 512mb as it would report that or a little less. maybe honeycomb isn't optimized to see 1 gb just yet?

I didn't look real close, bit when I was viewing dmesg output after boot I could see a line near the top that showed the 1GB (and two numbers that added up to 1GB). I believe that RAM is reserved for video on start up.

Total RAM of this machine is 1G

Free ram will be 768MB, because 256MB is used for the dalvik-cache, you can see from the build.prop

Out from the 768MB, I think 2XXMB is used for video? Which makes the total available to applications is around 5XX MB. Please comment.
