Everytime I see a screen shot of someone else's sensation It says they have 613 ram total my tmous Sensation only has 568.. is this a factory defect or is that just how tmobile sensations are made? I feel like I'm getting screwed out of a decent amount of ram.

Well, your gpu needs some ram, and it doesn't like it when Tue amount of ram it has changes, so that value is constant.

Also, some low level system stuff needs some constant memory as well. Also, this has been asked, AND answered many times already...
