PDA : does the galaxy only have 256mb ram? soraxd 06-19-2010, 02:47 AM im reading thru the comments on gsmarena, its filled with complaints from owners saying the phone only has/recognizes 256mb ram, and also complaining about the phone lagging alot. comments are updating every few hours, but the tone seems to be mostly unsatisfied customers.. http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_i9000_galaxy_s-reviews-3115.php uhm 06-19-2010, 08:25 AM I'm not 100% sure about that, but I think this memory limitation comes from Android 2.1, not the phone itself. There's at least one discussion topic here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642056 I've read something about that on russian forums a while ago, it seems that as soon as i9000 gets Android 2.2, this memory problem will be fixed (not sure about lags at all, though). Briggs 06-19-2010, 08:39 AM That doesn't sound too good. Also I noticed people complaining had a vodoafone version. Maybe vodafone also are to blame here. Often they customise the firmware that much that it does cause more issues in the long run. I remember there N95 firmware was so slow compared to the unbranded n95 firmwares. I'll have my Galaxy S on Monday so I will be able to comment on this, if its laggy or not. I really hope not! soraxd 06-23-2010, 08:03 PM so of you who have the unbranded phone, did it come showing 256 ram or 512? Briggs 06-23-2010, 10:49 PM Not sure, how to I view the free ram? NZtechfreak 06-24-2010, 01:26 AM Its been confirmed 512MB, there is no such limitation to 256MB in Android 2.1 (which is why the Nexus One and Desire also both have 512MB RAM or more onboard - slightly more for the Desire presumably because it has to run Sense on top of Android). soraxd 06-24-2010, 07:00 PM alot of ppl reported seeing only 256mb of ram being shown, we wernt sure if this was carrier versions, or unbranded versions too. so has anyone checked yet? soraxd 06-29-2010, 11:19 PM download Advanced Task Killer and you can check free RAM elgringo 06-30-2010, 02:42 PM The Task Killer shows me after the start 176MB of free Ram. The App "Memory Booster" shows: -Total Memory: 341MB -Free: 183MB -Used: 158MB soraxd 06-30-2010, 05:37 PM The Task Killer shows me after the start 176MB of free Ram.
