I would pay over $150 just to double the RAM on this phone. I am so irritated about 64mb... The roms being released should not have to focus on squeezing as much ram as possible. We should focus more on other things about the phone. Unfortunately we are left with no choice.... OK enough b!tching :)

Seriously.... if we can figure out a way to upgrade the RAM on this phone I would be thrilled. Even if I had to send a replacement phone to a person who could solder chips, etc. My hands are not steady enough to solder :) I would smear metal all over the place like edward scissorhands
[Mogul, XV6800 General] saumaun:
Ok. I think we're set here. It doesn't matter if the mogul is getting old, we have possible solutions.

Someone, if you could find it in your heart, say you've lost your phone and get it replaced for $50. Then open it up and add another chip in the empty slot.

We need someone that has ties to samsung, or a really good speaker to talk to samsung and purchase a SINGLE (or 2) of these 32MB chips that will fit in the new found empty spots.

The price of one of these chips can't be more than $50. Its just a matter of whether we can make non-bulk orders.

Maybe, if someone bought 100 of them and sold them to mogul owners.....

IDK, just great work everyone! We're getting EVEN CLOSER! We just need the brave souls to try this out.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] willpower102:
what's all this talk about empty slots? There aren't any empty slots in the mogul, the ram is contained in a larger chip with the rom as pflatlyne said. That pic isn't a Mogul!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] iceblue11:
This is the first project I started little over 3 weeks ago. I just need a few more broken phones "Tilts, and Touches". Talked to repair tech support at HTC. The guys is trying to get a FSM from Qualcom for me.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] zacharyjeans:
don't give up!

don't give up! And why aim for 128? 256 my friend, 256! 3rd party ingredients and a good chef is all we need. You can do it!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] pidsw:
The Vogue has a 7500 in there with the same ROM (256) but with 128mb RAM.

I was surprised that the mogul went with 256 and 64. Seems a little skewed.

I would be shocked surprised if the RAM on the touch costs more than $10.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] pidsw:
It would be nice to have a flexible amount of RAM (yeah right), as RAM uses power all the time. It is not all that much, but it is constant, unike the screen, radio, gps, etc.

With the Vogue I never think about RAM or ROM. I always have a lot. I use massive caches as well - about 42 MB total. With reasonable plugins I can operate all of my normal apps without hitting the ROM (Email and data files excluded of course) but I really hate those delays you get when images/code needs to be loaded from ROM, or when the page file is doings its housework.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ryanwood:
Any updates? The 6800 is such a flawed phone but don't even get me started..
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Tpimp420:
Allocating some Ram

Hey Eceryone!

This is a really great thread coming together. I'm currently using the xv6800 and often I'm running with nearly 20 megs of Ram. However on certain apps like Pocket GBA you need 32mb free to runa 32mb rom. This isn't really an issue but it got me think about how little ram the xv680 has. I mean 64mb? in this day in age?

Long story short I'm looking at starting to write my first program. I want to write a program that through using paging files and even more complex ways, allow the user to use their transflash card for ram.

In this thread this option is discussed. However no one ever gives a firm yeah that will work or a no. I've heard that no it will be too slow. or It won't work properly. Well I'm in a college setting surrounded by some very smart programmers. I do believe its possible. Also I thought that the read/write times on the transflash were faster than reading from the hard drive. ( Please correct me if I'm wrong!) So with this being said I'm going to do some more research on this option, as well as how the readyboost works for vista. But I've also heard from people that it isn't all that great. And that it doesn't show any difference. well maybe thats because they already have 2 gb of RAM and then they plug in a Flash tumb drive with 4 gb and allocate 2 to the Ram... Idk I just think add another 128 mb to our systems ram would make a real difference. What is everyones thoughts on a program for wm6 and eventually other OSes? Would it work? Can I make it? or better yet. Should I even try or am I wasting my time?

(I love my PPC!!!)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] pflatlyne:
Look for threads by me,I wrote one with a little bit of detail a while ago.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] axion68:
I don't think it would be a problem with the speed of the transflash card itself but the speed that the mogul can read and write to the transflash card. Try transfering an mp3 from your storage card to your ppc and see how long it takes. Now I don't know if the speed is slow because of the file viewing program (all of which I have used are slow) or the actual OS or the hardware itself. I would presume it would be the hardware. Anywho, I like the idea of having atleast some solution to the lacking ram on this phone.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] JimSmith94:
This thread on PPCGeeks says that they have upgraded a PPC-6700 to 128 MB: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20041. They say that the PPC-6800 is more complicated, but they are trying. :)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] neilson:
The 6700 was said to never be able to take in WM6. That took a lot of time, sweat, and tears, but it eventually was disproven.

Patience needs to be on our side now.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] iceblue11:
Yeah I got it but burned the phone up to. So still working on being able to get it right. I’ve gone through 2 moguls past 4 weeks now. I had to pay for one to and use my insurance on Alltel for another.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] ryanwood:
I don't understand what you mean... You managed to solder the extra RAM but toasted the phone?

Any incite you can give, or successes you have achieved?
[Mogul, XV6800 General] willpower102:
call me skeptical, but I seriously doubt it.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] riDuh7:

[Mogul, XV6800 General] gbmitchell:
I found a guy who has a touch that is blacklisted and is asking $200. I think that he will come off of the price but I am not sure. His a says he got it as a gift and does not have sprint service but he bought it off of craigslist and is trying to catch someone like himself and sell it as usable. Anyway this is the url http://atlanta.craigslist.org/ele/607289559.html.

If anyone is interested in getting it. I am too unexperienced to buy this and screw it up. If the guy is being difficult and wants cash, i would be willing to pick it up for the community and mail it to the proper person.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] iceblue11:
I am getting with some other members about fixing the largest issue I can't overcome software wise. If they end up able to make it work it could be a posiblility then of ordering new ROM chips from samsung.

Remind me not to work on your phone.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] willpower102:
Then allow me to remind you again.

You've no right to get mad when you come in here claiming to have done this with absolutely no proof.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] cj10488:
From an Undisclosed reliable source from within HTC.

"If it helps, we've studied the RAM/ROM upgrading and our RD team did not find appropriate parts to replace"

I do not post bogus claims... I can tell you from this that the Touch ram/rom chip should not work. Whole I havent taken either apart or seen pics I cannot personally verify this but I dont post rumors or non trusted information.

Until someone Visually proves that it can be done I have set this aside on the back burner unless I accidently damage either my touch or mogul.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] stevesrjr:
i have said it before and everyone said that it wouldnt work... I know we have some great programmers out there.. With the 16gb cards coming out or even the 8gb im sure that there is a way that you could like cache the whole phone on the card so that maybe you could rewrite it to work fast maybe use the program memory for os and system then the other for the rest... its just an idea but we would be a lot farther looking and doing that then wasting time trying to swap chips... Not everyone on here trust and or has the money to send their phone out with the risk or losing it due to a bad job.. But donateing 20 bucks or more and have a programmer try and get it to work with the microsd card would be the best way to go... sry for the long post but i want touch ram and i dont want the touch!!!
[Mogul, XV6800 General] miguelfp1:
I'm pretty sure that this has already been discussed. It's really not that simple, and I think not very feasible, the reason being that flash memory, even the fastest classes, are exponentially slower when compared to RAM.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] defaultdotxbe:
i still wish there was a way to allocate some ROM to a page file or something

i read an MSDN blog that basically said the only reason they didnt do it was because in the wm2002/2003 days there was no ROM (it was all volatile) and in wm5 days most devices didnt have much ROM to spare, but now thats changed and we should be able to make a pagefile, but im guessing MS would have to code that kind of functionality into windows mobile (6.2 maybe? lol)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] jai2k3:
just wandering... say you do have the RAM/ROM Replaced... but the phone WILL NOT BOOT.... with the ROM replaced, there no Bootloader...
[Mogul, XV6800 General] defaultdotxbe:
you would have to program it before installing it
[Mogul, XV6800 General] unL33T:
Wow I hope someone gets this to work... I just got a "Memory critically low" error :(

I'd be happy with a way to increase the amount of RAM while reducing the amount of storage memory... I have a crapload of stuff installed, none of it to my SD card, and still have almost 100mb of free space that I would much rather be using for RAM.
[Mogul, XV6800 General] Tunerstk:
I would even go for a new phone!!!!

I bought the 6800 just for GPS so Im happy it works as good or better than my Apache.

If anyone has a potential solution only $$ is the obstacle let me know I am willing to donate to the cause, with the only exception being buying a phone to take apart just to identify the chips any other reason I'm game.

[Mogul, XV6800 General] clockcycle:
This thread reminds me of the Atari days of ram doubling, piggy backing and external hardware switch bank selecting...

Even when the IBM started multitasking in DOS and ran Desqview(?) ram bank / task selecting... Multi Node BBS days.. sigh :p

Tech moves so fast these days, that the R&D costs on such hacks aren't worth the time, effort and cash, since you will probably have an upgraded unit with more everything in just a few months that you just go and buy from the manufacturer with fully supporting software..

[Mogul, XV6800 General] pflatlyne:
I wrote a thread about this but no one added any info and it died. I agree with you. It might well be possible. I looked up some info on the virtual memory model that the phones use. Some things do in fact get swapped,some dont. If you can find my thread,I have some links in there that I looked up. Everyone says that flash is to slow. But so is a hard disk,in fact,flash is faster than a hard disk,just look at readyboost. (which actually works now that they have release a billion updates.)
[Mogul, XV6800 General] willpower102:
...and ram is a good deal faster than onboard flash. It's not even necessarily a matter of the actual memory as much as the bus speed TO the memory. To the previous poster, don't assume that programming is somehow easier than soldering. If we could find a programmable chip to match, it would be much easier to simply swap the chip than try and re-write the code.
[Google Pixel Accessories] ky3bmu4:
Hi everybody.

I love Carved cases (http://www.carved.com/)

I bought few of them for my friends but never owned one. I was looking forward to buying one for my new Pixel and finally Carved opened the pre-orders.

BUT

They are releasing only "Traveler" model, which is a bulkier version of their case. They are not going to release "Slim" model, which I always buy...

Does anyone getting the Traveler? Have anyone had the expirience with the Traveler before?

I really love the design of their cases but I don't want bulkier case, even the fact that Traveler doesn't have the cutouts for power and volume buttons pisses me off (Slim had the cutouts for buttons)

Sharing your expirience is much appreciated
[Google Pixel Accessories] roccom33:
I really like those Satellite cases. Hopefully they make them available for the Pixels.
[Google Pixel Accessories] explodingscotsman:
I always get Carved cases for my phone but I find that it usually takes less than a month for me to crack the slim cases. The traveller case is rubberized and can handle a little bit more without cracking.
[Google Pixel Accessories] ky3bmu4:
Have you ordered one for pixel?

My GF's slim case survived one year just fine even though she can be clumsy. However the one that we bought for her Mom cracked twice during two weeks proving your statement))

How do you like traveller case overall? How bulky it is compared to Slim?
[Google Pixel Accessories] explodingscotsman:
They only just made them available for the pixel but I immediately ordered one. I'll post something about it when I get it (if I remember) but it might take a little longer since I'm up here in Canuckleland. I've only ever had the slim cases since that's all they had available for my Nexus 6 but I got my girlfriend a traveler case for her iPhone and I was extremely jealous. The traveler isn't much bulkier than the slim case, but like I said, it's rubberized so it won't crack like the slim case. I'd liken it in size to the lighter, commuter otter boxes... Maybe a little thinner, it's hard to say.

I'm a guy who likes to minimize the bulkiness of my phone and I can't wait to get my custom Carved traveler case!
[Google Pixel Accessories] ky3bmu4:
Will look forward to your review :) thanks
[Google Pixel Accessories] explodingscotsman:
Just got my new Carved case for my Pixel. As you can tell from the "New member" tag under my name, I'm new here and can't figure out how to post pictures at the moment. However, in short, the case is fantastic. I got a mahogany custom traveller case. I will say that it somehow doesn't quite feel as "premium" as other cases, but that's just referring to the plastic/rubber part, the woodwork is phenomenal, I think this might just be because it's new and I'm not used to the feel of it yet. If you've ever had one of their cases before though, you'll likely know what I mean. It's not noticeably different in size than my Spigen Liquid Crystal and it's got good grip around the edges. The only criticism that I have for it is that the power and volume buttons on the side are barely raised and it's hard to feel them out when I'm not looking at the phone.

Overall though, I would highly recommend it. It's a great case and I'm glad I got it. The customization options are great... to be honest, it's hard to find the words to recommend the case enough, I love it. Carved makes an exceptional product
[Google Pixel Accessories] explodingscotsman:
I regret what I said about it feeling premium. I lurvs this case.
[Google Pixel Accessories] explodingscotsman:
Here we go
[Google Pixel Accessories] ky3bmu4:
That's nice!

I decided to skip at least for now as I already purchased two cases and don't wanna spend more yet. Also I unfortunately have white pixel and it won't be as good as black with traveller case.

However, if they out more great designs by artists, I might jump on one :)
[Google Pixel Accessories] 45Wheelgun:
These guys are running a pretty nice Cyber Monday Deal - 25% most cases, $10 the custom SATELLITE case. FREE screen protector with every case purchase. I'm in for one SATELLITE.
[Google Pixel Accessories] ky3bmu4:
I ended up ordering one of their "map" custom cases, which is quite expensive I must say, but I am very excited because the case will display a very important place to me :) will update with the photos when it arrives (closer to Christmas)
[Google Pixel Accessories] mattbeau:
I ordered one of their custom satalite cases and it's really nice. Very unique looking. The lip is good and should protect the screen. It's also not too bulky of a case. Each case is unique and made in Indiana. Very cool.

View attachment 3997783
[Google Pixel Accessories] ky3bmu4:
Sorry for the delay. Posting the pictures of my custom map case. I like the design, but as I expected it is bulkier than I would like it to be. I would be much happier with slim case if carved made it...
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epinephrin3:
Hello all, Ive recently brought a 5x after owning a Nexus 4 for nearly 4 years (still such a great phone btw) which i am loving. The only issue im having is the sound quality of the front speaker is terrible. Music just sounds terrible, broken up, no bass, and distorted. My Nexus 4 sounds amazing in comparison to it which cant be right can it? I understand its a cheap phone etc but surely a phone as old as a Nexus 4 shouldn't sound better. Also it seems to loose charge quite quick overnight when not being used (between 10-20%) which i thought shouldn't happen with doze etc on stock with minimal apps installed.

Do all 5x phones sound the same and have similar battery drain? I just want to make sure before I get the phone replaced.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koax88:
for the battery drain, some app might been preventing your phone from sleeping. install battery monitor app such as GSAM battery monitor and inspect which app using most battery. About the front speaker i couldn't agree more, its sucks, even cheaper samsung phone sound is superior compared to 5x.

Currently a long time subscriber to VZW (running S4 on 6.0.1).

Hate boot locking and bloat from VZ, love their coverage.

According to Rootmetrics, ATT is right up there with VZW in rankings, but no personal experience.

Those at work who have had ATT said they couldn't get signal in one of the facilities I work at.

Is it worth it to get this phone which is virtually a match to the Pixel at a much lower cost and gamble on ATT coverage or pony up the extra $$$ and buy unlocked Pixel to keep VZW's coverage?

I wonder if Force Touch feature currently limited to 4/128 version of Mi 5s can be unlocked on 3/64 version?

I doubt that it is hardware dependent. It can sense only 2 levels of pressure so it may be done the same way as detecting touch pressure in Chrome (using size of the sourface that touches the screen.)

So can it be unlocked on Mi 5s 3/64?

It seems like a mix of hardware and software feature. The screen has to have a proper layer for this, and software do the calculations.
