You'll have to modify the SW, also. I remember some guys were replacing 64MB RAM chip in HTC Universal with 128MB one and a new SW had to be flashed. I know, it was WM, not android, but I don't think so if Android has an increaseable RAM support out of box.
[Hardware Hacking General] ssj3hulk:
Too bad CPU and ram are smoldered to the mb, manufacturers could build up a new business in this category for people who want to upgrade their cpu/ram instead of buying a brand new phone :)
[Hardware Hacking General] quyennb:

[Hardware Hacking General] dj_chapz:
Being real this is not something any average user would be doing because he doesn't have the necessary equipment and technological knowledge... Other than that I think not every RAM module would be compatible... :(

[Hardware Hacking General] BloggerFreak:
hmm well a friend of mine said me that his uncle who is a engineer tried and succeed i asked him how did he but no reply i think it is possible ...
[Hardware Hacking General] moksha0987:
I don't think so it is possible as you wont find the RAM compatible with the mother board. Soldering and Tools are not the concern.

And if your Android already has a GPU the RAM hack will also not work.
[Hardware Hacking General] Freddy1X:
I would really love to upgrade my RAM, but since Android was based on Linux, I think I will stick to 1GB for this time..:D
[Hardware Hacking General] winny54:
and if we etend the ram to the internal storage since the pc you think this work ?

p.s:sorry for my bad english
[Hardware Hacking General] Abazel:
I think it could be done, but it would take a lot of time (research) and a lot of money. Par example, let's see Motorola Milestone (OMAP 3430 CPU and 256 MB of RAM - God knows why they used only 256 MB ) and Palm Pre Plus (OMAP 3430 CPU and 512 MB of RAM). In theory, they have the same CPU, so we can say that it has no problems working with more RAM and the voltages and other stuff shouldn't be different. All we need is just someone with the right tools and knowledge to replace the chips, but there are way too many issues that can occur so that's why everyone says it is safer to buy a newer and faster phone.

usb key

required to connect the feeder to the usb???
[Hardware Hacking General] geekdvp:
Dont Think so

I think android phone cant upgrade ram... because all the components come with motherboard...
[Hardware Hacking General] Grendel Prime:
Because there is no room inside the phone for physicaly larger chipset You could allways make a firmware assembly to "persuade"the hardware to accept a larger memory; but would you like the "hacked"look your phone would now have? Maybe time for a new phone? Just saying...

heck it's more practical to convert Android java to C than to solder ram to your phone..
[Hardware Hacking General] Peter9104:
Certainly cant.
[Hardware Hacking General] sad6549775:
thanks

Really wanted to know why ppl weren't doing this hack until now...you simply can't!

my hopes were shot and wanted to upgrade my sgs+ ram as it's very inadequate and runs out as soon as i try to browse (if i use firefox, phone will most definitely crash :()
[Hardware Hacking General] blade_h:
You will lose more money in research and in attempt, rather than buy a new more powerful phone :good:
[Hardware Hacking General] Inelukis:
It's pretty impossible, you need at least a lot of time, attention and equipments that cost really much.

You should do this only if you find memories with correct misures.
[Hardware Hacking General] IRX120:
Its virtually impossible but there might be custom chip making companies that would make you an upgraded chip but it would be extremely costly. On top of that you have to solder it in and rewrite half your kernel to get it to accept larger ram. so it would be easyer to buy a new phone
[Hardware Hacking General] DarkBanHammer:
just in trying to take the chip off will end up in frying something. your best bet is to use zram in a custom kernel. (it puts a paging block in the ram and compresses data virtually giving you more ram)
[Hardware Hacking General] rocker86:
I am not sure about the chips and all the things mentioned to replace chip etc. but this app help me to play games without lag and without restart...

Though its a bit costly but very useful for me... :)
[Hardware Hacking General] DarkBanHammer:
Same idea but it creates the block swap file on your nand. The reason this is not enabled by default is that it burns our your memory faster. On PCs its us usually not an issue as hard rives don't degrade as fast which is why you should try to use zram as it keeps it all in the ram.
[Hardware Hacking General] BiG K:
You guys also have to remember that it depends on the phone. On some phones, the ram is soldered on a different location however due to space constraints, most are PoP style (Package on Package), which means there is usually another chip, usually the processor soldered directly on top of the RAM!!
[Hardware Hacking General] MauroBif:
Try swapit ram expander on play store . It create swap file from your memory .

Sorry for my english
[Hardware Hacking General] IcedCube:
All the RAM boosting apps are mainly just task killers. They free up RAM when it gets too low.

Besides, it depends on the kernel. Most smartphone kernels aren't really designed to handle swap memory (it requires a special setting at compile time so the kernel knows how to manage swap better), so they'll fill it up randomly instead of deciding what to store in the swap and what to keep in RAM.

Simply put, if you want more RAM, upgrade your phone. Get a job or sell some old gear, and buy a new device with 512MB or 1GB RAM.
[Hardware Hacking General] disclaimernotice:
If ram and cpus could be replaced, then people wouldn't need to buy new phones so often, and manufacturers certainly wouldn't be too happy about that.
[Hardware Hacking General] jmaiman:
There are ways of maximizing your'e phones ram by removing bloatware, flashing low memory usage roms etc. but as far as physically upgrading the devices ram would involve taking apart the internals of the phone and replacing parts which in all honesty would probably brick your phone
[Hardware Hacking General] Gvaz:
It would be cool if phones could be constructed much like prebuilt computers today, since the small design kind of rules out anyone modding it normally like that.
[Hardware Hacking General] SPBoss:
A modular design is pretty much impossible in such a slimline phone

Well My s3 Is capable of holding 2gb as the korean version has exactly same specs except for LTE and an extra 1gb of ram, SO if some technician out there is capable of doing it I would be willing to pay $300 for that extra gigb. Serious!
[Hardware Hacking General] Asianwhocantgetthingsdone:
it'd take really high end equipment, and it would be nearly impossible to do by yourself, what i would recommend is to upgrade your phone that has more ram. Such as the galaxy s3
[Hardware Hacking General] sommo89:
would be nice but not for the specific chipset and because the ram is soldered to the PCB
[Hardware Hacking General] ross231:
i doubt it, do you know how much RAM is compatible with your motherboard? + the ram is soldered, so this is impossible.
[Hardware Hacking General] asad007:
Can't we use a partition on sd card as ram
[Hardware Hacking General] RennyC:
God I wish, that'd be great; not sure how fast it would work though.

I highly doubt you could add ram because it is soldiered in and would be difficult to remove and replace but i love if someone proved me wrong :p

it worked
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] -Teos-:
What do you mean, you get it on market? and do you use chainfire?
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] SpaceCaker:
nope

ive downloaded the apk and sd data from web

and i never use chainfire
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] M_247:
Are you sure?

Just, because I've installed chainfire with plugins and still can't see it on. Market....

Just confirming...

Because the data is too big and I'm gonna play it...
[Galaxy 3 Themes and Apps] hasjee:
He said he didnt get it from the market. So if it works for him that doesnt mean it will automagicly pop up for you in the market.

But the game is not working...

Can anyone give a working game link?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] samg77:
I own three Prime.

Prime #1 BC0KAS, Champ, 32GB Model, reporting 27.67GB total space

Prime #2 C10KAS, Grey, 32GB Model, reporting 27.67GB total space

Prime #3 C10KAS, Grey, 32GB Model, reporting 26.89GB total space

Prime #3 baffles me, everyone I talk to has reported 27.67GB total space. The prime works flawlessly, what I am trying to figure out, do they have different manufacturers providing the storage, or when this prime was formatted, I had 900mb of corrupt unusable space, reserved.

I just bought that 3rd one as a gift yesterday, so I have awhile to return, but its working perfectly other than the missing 900MB of storage. Can you please check, and let me know do you have 27.67 or 26.89GB
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] XHolyPuffX:
Mine's exactly the same as your Prime #3.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tmcarr:
This is normal. When they make the storage chips only so much of them actually works. The storage they advertise is the goal, they dont always reach it. Its the same reason you only get 15.29 GB on a 16GB thumbdrive....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Diamondback:
no that's not what the OP is pointing out. And what you are pointing out actually has nothing to do with non-working chips. It's about the definition of sizes, 1KB = 1000 Byte compared to 1KN = 1024Byte

My BC-Prime has the usual 27,67 GB...

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] PrimeTimeBro:
It doesn't really matter but it further proves the likelihood of them throwing together our Primes with different parts from different manufacturers which is probably the reason for the ICS lockups on some Primes right now Asus really had no quality control at all and rushed these tablets out it's obvious.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] samg77:
I wanted to make sure since I had two reporting 27.67, and one 26.89 that it was infact due to the parts being used, and not a defect in my third prime. As these numbers should not vary. However since it is obvious I am not the only one, ASUS must be using different manufacturers to supply their memory chips.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Enzymaticracer:
Came from Best Buy. Ordered on Jan 6th.

Sent from my Transformer Prime
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] samg77:
Actually the size is less due to a bit of marketing BS that they've been doing for years. They advertise the unformatted size, which has always annoyed me because you can not use it unless you format it. For example fat32, ntfs, ext3, ext4, hpfs(lol). Also some of the manufacturers have started rounding kilobytes from 1024 down to 1000.

So if you start off with the same 32GB unformatted storage, and format it with the same file system the available space will be exactly the same.

Clearly Asus isn't using different file systems, so the only variable left is they are using different vendors. However these vendors should be making this stuff to spec, they also shouldn't vary. Any thoughts as to how different vendors are making what is supposed to be 32gb of unallocated storage with such a large variance.

It is very common for manufactures to use parts from different vendors on the same product, I don't see how that has anything to do with QC. Apple uses Displays from different vendors, many laptop manufactures uses different brands of harddrive/SSD in their machine with the same model number.

BCOKAS - 27,67Gb
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SexyAndIKnowIt:
Well, there is a simple reason why they did this.

The "tech" people use Kilobytes, Megabytes etc. Manufacturers use Kibibytes/Mebibytes.

Back at the year 2000 (i believe) some random organization, the IEC, thought that the meaning of Kilobytes and Megabytes was to confusing for the common people. Due to the fact that 1 kilobyte = 1024 bytes and 1 megabyte = 1024 kilobytes (and so on).

So they made a NEW table, the one which manufacturers of harddisks use. This table uses the values of: Kibibytes, Mebibytes, Gibibytes etc. These values represent a kilobyte as 1000 bytes. (same goes for Mebibytes which is 1000 kibibytes)

a short example:

If a manufacturer of harddisks says it's harddisk is 1GB big, it could mean 2 things:

2^30 ( our notation in Megabytes) which is 1073741824 bytes (1024 Megabytes)

or

10^9 ( notation in Mibibytes) which is 100000000 bytes (976 Megabytes)

the difference is a rough 4.5% in total bytes.)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] borgermeister:
Different sizes, different write/read speeds.

Sadly, the small difference in size isn't just a small difference in size. It's clear that Asus used different vendors when putting this thing together.

I have the 27.67 version, and I have seen threads collecting and comparing data from all three versions. "Sadly", the 27.88GB prime appears to be a lot faster than the both the 27.67 and the 26.89 version.

E.g. It makes me mad that i can have virtually as many torrents as I can find downloading on my aging SGS2, without experiencing any overall speed issues, while multitasking,

while doing the exact same on my ATP it hangs almost straight away.

As some other user said, "well and id rather them all be 27.88gb but it's not a deal breaker".

Hi, i tested two ICS roms on my Sensation and both (Virtuous Inquisition 3.0 and Virtuous Quattro Alpha3 with Firmware 3.24, 3.12 doesn't boot) have this problem. when i recieve a call (or i call someone), the call ends after about 30 seconds and it sais "no service".. is this a known bug? i searched a lot in the forums but didn't found anything about this problem..

btw sorry for my bad english, i'm working on it :o
[HTC Sensation] tehparan0id:
Similar issue- call drop-outs, low volume calls ~30seconds

I have a similar issue. I lose the t-mobile wifi after about 30 seconds or so.. the call drops out and the green icon (in use for t-mobile calling) stays green until the t-mobile calling app crashes out.

the wifi signal is fine... Tried this running ICS ARHD 6.1, 6.2. Running latest firmware as required/described in the ROM posts.

I assume its due to the "beta/unstable" nature of ICS but I cant even seem to get an older rom to work now either... ?

I've tried 3.12, 3.24.. Donno what else to do beyond wait for a stable release I guess.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imthebest:
Hi guys i want a smartphone just for browsing the web. i'll make an intensive use of the browser capabilities of my new smartphone. Camera? Video recording? I don't care! I just want very good browsing capabilities i.e. smooth navigation, pain free browsing...

In theory, the Nexus is the best choice due to its bigger screen however after reading some reviews it is clear to me that the S2 performs better and is more quick when it comes to page loading times and general navigation in websites is better on the S2. also reviewers said that pages with adobe flash elements will load very slow on the Nexus due to ICS issues with adobe flash but they say that there will be an update soon to fix this problem.

is this all true? or the browsing experience with the Nexus could beat the S2 with a proper ROM?

again, i just want very good browser capabilities, not really interested in GPS,camera, radio and stuff like that.

i might also wait for the s3 but maybe it doesn't worth waiting because the s3 is probably going to have a screen size very close to the nexus.

thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ARod111:
GNEX FTW! The browser is amazing, and the higher res screen will make the text clearer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sadikhov77:
Correct me if i am wrong, but doesn't higher resolution mean you can fit more on your screen without constantly scrolling and using zoom feature?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Craiq:
not in android. there its only mean u have a better quality and cant see single pixel in gnex. the rest is scaled to same size to view.

the tests i read said that the gnex is faster in browsing but bit worse in grafics.

so for me gnex is best 4 browsing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jameslfc5:
Only thing I have noticed coming to the Gnex from the S2 is that with the S2 EVERY webpage worked flawlessly (eg BBC iPlayer) with the Gnex quite a few don't work or are laggy... BUT when one does load properly, the screen is gorgeous and the browser is awesome
