[Q] Ram memory

---

How much free ram memory xperia mini have ?
And does it have 512mb total ram or something like 418mb ?

Story is the Xperia has 512M of RAM, but 177M or so of RAM are taken up by the O/S. Leaving something along the lines of 335M free for other apps.

I don't know why all the programs that report memory don't show the memory reserved by the O/S.

Would be interested in knowing if such an app exists.

That's the theoretical amount of memory, when I run max kill, I end up with 191MB.
If you go by the utilities they show you total memory its 335mb

It's truly 512MB RAM, but the operating system (Android) also occupies RAM, for example in panamamike's case, the OS uses 191MB for its running so the amount of RAM left for other programs is about 512 - 191 = 355MB RAM.

I haven't tried any HD games but you can watch these videos :

Actually, the math goes like this.

512MB total - 177MB [Hidden by Android for system] - (166-170MB) [Android O/S apps] 22MB [Kernel] approx 143MB available to the user. Max Kill, kills some of the Android O/S stuff, but it starts right back up automatically. I don't know enough to determine if I can really turn some of that stuff off, but ATM I'm just letting it go.

Also note, if we could root the phone, there are applications that SE has installed as part of the O/S that could be removed to free up more memory.

It's a bit disheartening to see such little memory truly available. I don't know what typical HD games need to run.

i don't understand, if system hide 177mb ram for system, why he(system) double use ram memory ? 1. 177mb and 2. 166-177mb(for os and apps) why ?

never mind, thast cool phone..

Most apps/games store the big files /data on yer sdcard. The app needs to have this feature implemented.
