Memory Difference?

---

I do not understand why the Toshiba Tg01 uses so much more memory than my HTC Diamond with Windows Mobile 6.5.3 and Sense 2.1? Why does the Toshiba use so much more?

I think Toshiba is not suitable for Sense like HTC devices, RAM is still our mostly problem. Maybe Win 6.5.3 is more stable for Sense.

been thinking the same thing since i got the phone... can think of about 3 possibilities...

1)bad optimization in toshiba additions
2)the ram in locked out and shows up as used to make us buy their newer models...
3)the phone has actually less ram and and its ram information is faked...

but thats just me...

Memory Usage does not add up

I used Memaid to check the running processes and they added up to only 41 MB. If the total is 205.1 and the processes running are only 41 MB where is the other Program memory allocated to?

Filesystem mirrored from ROM to speed up the device. That's a common use on WM devices, but has some counter effects. With 100Mb free RAM, you have almost all you need, but with just 30Mb, things become a little more complicated. Toshiba setted up RAM in order to preload files and packages from the OS into the RAM. That's my thinks arround it. Maybe the true history is another one.

is the worst thing at tg01.
i bought a phone with 256MB ram not with 100MB. i expected a healthy 150Mb free not 60Mb.
I had no other bad experiences with it except bad quality with orange robot chick. The funny thing is that the Vodafone robot is (almost) crystal clear.

Anyone checked PagePool size ? It should be possible to free up more RAM

The size of Pagepool is 15Mb. Maybe we can set it to 6-8Mb, but would 7-9Mb be worth of it? :S

If we can find 2-3 methods to gain 7-9Mb, a 24Mb more free would be awsome. But just 7-9 won't make a true diference.

I've checked this myself but it looks odd to me when I see 15mb PP size... so it's not PP fault... When I'll have more time I will take a look into dumped rom maybe I'll find what takes so much memmory ...

Hi all,

I understand our TG01's constantly show a low amount of free Ram but can honestly say i have never experienced any slow downs or Programs shutting down on me. Since the last update with the Radio fix mine runs great it's fast responsive and i really have no issues since changing back to the Windows Classic lock even playing Music over Bluetooth in CorePlayer is perfect with no more annoying cut outs.

At one point i was going to replace my TG01 with a HD2 but since the last update and all the fixes it brought i just can't see this as being worthwhile. I even tried one of the new Roms with Sense 2.5 only to discover as much as i really like the Weather app in Sense i actually prefer SPB Mobile shell with the Espresso theme over Sense.

The TG01 may not be perfect after all what device is but for me now it gets pretty close, i still think the screen is if not the best one of the best out there. I also love the fact that even with a 4.1" screen it's only 9.9mm thin and not exactly heavy either it does all i want with ease my Music sounds great and my unconverted DivX files play and look stunning on it's screen as does Web browsing using Opera.

Having had the TG01 since launch i have been looking at an upgrade as have one due from VodaFone but honestly can't see anything that can replace my TG01 and offer anything more or better. Of course i wish we hadn't had any initial issues and the fixes would of come quicker but i still think the TG01 is a great device and one that hasn't really been surpassed yet.
