[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] lennie:
Samsung's device care is showing me that 1.7GB is reserved on my N20U with 12GB total, however on my Tab s6 it's showing 746MB reserved with 8GB total (I believe it was about the same amount reserved on my Note10+ as is on the tab S6).

In developer options on the N20U it shows 11GB of total RAM which includes what's reserved. On the tab S6 it shows 7.8GB of total RAM.

That's a huge difference in the amount reserved. If I were to exclude the reserved amount then developer options would show 10.3GB on the N20U,so it can't be that.

I'm getting the feeling Samsung programed their device care app to show an extra 1GB of reserved space because the device is only shipped with 11GB

I fully understand and well aware of that but the difference is in total RAM, not in available RAM.

Does your device show the same 11GB in developer options as mine?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] hoss_n2:
Mine shows 12 GB ram
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
Yea, 1.4GB is reserved, as you can see in Device Care. There's 12GB physically, but it doesn't show the reserved RAM as being available, as it's not available.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] matlear:
Mine shows 11gb in developer options !
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Interesting! Mine shows 11GB too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] butchieboy:
11 for me
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] ArticTiger:
11GB in dev options on an Exynos unit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
11GB is shown too in the developer option for me.

I have the Note 20 Ultra 5G 512GB Snapdragon Variant (US Sprint/T-Mobile).

As you can see, mine shows only 11GB (which is reported by others).

Mine shows 11gb Note 20 Ultra 512GB, Unlocked. Haven't applied OTA update yet howeverView attachment 5085493
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Geekser:
My Device has 12 GB of ram - but only 11GB of ram are available. Dev Tools shows my phone has 11GB of available ram - but the actual RAM Hardware in the phone is 12GB. 1 GB of ram is reserved for things the phone needs to operate. I can't explain it technically, I am not that smart - but I can assure you, you were not ripped off - your phone has 12GB of ram, but the programs and aps you add to the phone will only have access to 11GB of ram. As my previous post stated, EVERY PHONE, Computer, Works this way.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] lennie:
Just as I thought, some people probably most people got 11GB then Samsung used their Device Care software to lie about the amount the device is shipped with. In device care

My next questions are what type of device as in Qualcmm or Exynos? Location?

And where did you buy, through Samsung or carrier?

Trade in?

I brought through Samsung with a trade in

If it is as you say then why In developer options it only shows 1GB missing, shouldn't it show 1.4 missing in your case?

And why would some device have the full 12GB in total while others only have 11GB?

Seeing that you have 1.4 reserved I'm wondering if your developer options say you have 11.5 in total.

To all those with 11GB where did you buy, through Samsung or carrier? Snapdragon or Exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
11GB shown here - bought through Samsung directly. Unlocked model. 128GB Bronze. Using on T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] lennie:
Hmm so how would you explain some people having full 12GB in developer options while others only 11GB?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] seczdbz:
Mine is unlocked 128GB ordered directly from Samsung. Showing 11GB of RAM in developer settings, but showing 12 in device care. I have screenshots but can't post them :/
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] lennie:
Yeah same here but I got the the 512GB version US snapdragon variant
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Geekser:
get a screenshot to show what you mean. i have not seen that on any phone and I doubt it says that
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
Because 12GB of RAM is 12,288 MB in binary.

If you install CPU-Z and look at how much memory it shows, it says 10,888MB is available. (11GB in binary)

The difference of those two is exactly 1.4GB. This is what Device Care says is reserved, so it works out exactly correct.

The 11GB you're seeing in Developer Options is just the 10,888MB, which is 11GB in binary.

There is no conspiracy, you haven't rceived a device with less RAM than you should have.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] lennie:
Hmm so this user has full 12,288MB in binary, correct?

While I and others only have 10,888MB in binary, correct?

Even though this is proof positive evidence showing that devices are being shipped with less RAM you are still claiming that there's no device being shipped with less RAM?

Am I understanding you right?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
No. There is no device shipping with less than 12GB of RAM. It seems some as just reporting 12GB of RAM in Developer options, some reporting 11GB. Maybe it's the difference between Snapdragon and Exynos or soemthing. But there's no difference in RAM physically.

Mine reports 11GB. But I've explained why that is the case already in my last post. My post above was explaining how it works for EVERYONE.

And go to Setting > Device Care. You see 12GB is reported there. And the 1.4GB Reserved.

They don't just forget to put the last 12th GB in there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
I'm not saying there's a conspiracy, but it's definitely odd. My Device Care shows 1.7GB reserved, not 1.4.

And my Developer Options shows 11GB as the OP mentioned (Snapdragon here, if it matters).

It does seem odd.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
I think everyone needs to read up on RAM usage in Android/Lnux.

EG: https://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care

Particularly the section titled "How your phone uses its RAM".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] borijess:
Bought from ATT shows 11gb in Dev option.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] xenix96:
Sure it has 12gb...

See screenshot below from DevCheck pro app
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Double tap that to expand it. Should say 12 gb total.

This what my Note 10+ with 12 gb of ram looks like:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Mine still says 11GB.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
I think the confusion comes in because some phones say 12 and some say 11 in Developer Options. And why did the Note10+ say 12 there but the Note20 Ultra says 11? I'm not worried, but you've got to admit the inconsistency is odd.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] ytheekshana:
Looks like I also has 10888MB
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
That's odd. Try something like DevChek and see what it sees.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] raul6:
this answers it for me

https://android.stackexchange.com/q...-it-seem-like-i-have-less-ram-than-advertised

in essence and paraphrased slightly:

12Gb advertised by the manufacturer is the total capacity of memory chips installed in the device. But this memory is shared between multiple components (like AP,*BP, GPU, etc). 11Gb reported by android is the amount available to AP. The rest is not "missing". It's just being used by other components.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
That's what I've said multiple times in this thread.

Some of it is reserved, as it says in Device Care > Memory.

In most cases it's 10888MB. Which is 12GB (12288MB) - 1.4GB reserved = 10888MB (11GB) shown in Developer Options.

This thread is rather silly. There is no missing RAM.

The only thing is the difference in some devices of the value shown in developer options. I'm not sure why. Perhaps due to rounding up or down? Differences in reserved RAM being used?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] raul6:
You and few others said it indeed
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Mine is always 1.7 GB reserved, strangely.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] BlinkThinks:
I really, really, really find this thread ... :silly:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] pbp123454321:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] lennie:
Yeah that's one of the things I checked the first day I noticed it.

Still said 11.

I checked my note 3, note 8, note 9, note 10+, all showed the advertised amount of RAM in developer options. But now comes the Note20 Ultra showing 1GB less than advertised.

Spoke with a Samsung rep who said there definitely seems to be a problem it shouldn't be showing that, same 11GB on his phone haha said it could be a bug or hardware problem or memory yield issue from manufacturing but there's nothing showing in his system about it. Said he'll escalate the ticket and offered to send me a new device or full refund. Guess which one I chose?

I see a couple guys here in the thread saying it's normal but they don't have a clue what they're talking about.

All phones do have reserved memory spaces, so why wasn't those reserved spaces not taken from past devices?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
Yes, I have no clue what I'm talking about. I have a Bacheoler of Engineering, I worked in the Electronics/software engineering field for 11 years before moving to IT for the last 8 years.

I already explained above where the number is coming from.

But since you still seem to think Samsung magically produce these impossble RAM chips with a missing GB, I suggest you install DevCheck and look at what it says.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] raul6:
i thank my degree, of common sense, which tells me n20u has 12Gb size ram
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I trust a rabid gerbil more than Samsung tech support...

Below is what the same app reports 12 gb of ram looks like on the 10+

A +558 mb variance. Different ram.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] lennie:
FYI I spoke with a Samsung rep who acknowledged the issue.

........... I was going to say something really petty just now so hmmm in its place I'll say something like you can believe this thread is rather silly if you want but I am actually glad that people in the community responded, including you which caused me to try an get to the bottom of it to the point I went to multiple stores with display units and called into Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
What he said :good:

They just read off scripts. They're not technical people.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Should the different types of ram report stats differently? I wouldn't think so but haven't read up on the protocols for either type.

Samsung also will substitute components during assembly as needed, maybe someone goofed. Hard to believe it slip through QC if so.

Or...

Could be a firmware glitch with the hardware reporting which I've seen on the 10+ on some of it's hardware stats.

I would expect other more obvious symptoms if the ram was defective.

As long as it's benchmarking within normal its parameters and running well, I wouldn't sweat it.

Adroid is a known player of practical jokes...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] doggydog2:
with 2 12GB phones in my hand, Note20U and 8Pro, it doesn't matter what's the capacity beyond 8GB because it's never ever utilized.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It's utilized and the extra power cost especially on this phone is next to nothing.

It's ram is about 20% more efficient than my 10+

The 10+ has 12gb of ram and I'm wicked wuving it😈

7 gb of ram in reserve is a good thing...

Below is a typical 12 gb ram usage profile without many foreground apps running.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] doggydog2:
you use 1gig and literally prove my point:) i advocate RAM in most devices (i have 4x average on PC, NAS etc.), but i'm disappointed that it's not used on Android. The apps don't use it at all, and they cache everything offline. Seems 8GB would act exactly like 12GB version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
2 gb of free ram isn't much...

Having 7 gb of free ram hurts nothing. Idle current draw is very low for the 10+.

Half tb of internal memory comes with the extra ram; I never turn down extra memory or ram capacity especially when it doesn't impact battery life significantly.

It prevents waste by the system by not off loading/reloading apks to create space for ram intensive apps. Running out of ram is not a pretty thing... and I wuv overkill.

Some new phones have 16 gb of ram.

So, I tried it on a friends Samsung phone, and then moved it back to my LG, and it works, mostly. Calls and LTE in general work fine. The only thing that is weird is text messaging - if not connected to the phone, then it relies on using it's own phone number. Otherwise, it's good :good:
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] ext23:
Everything was working fine until I auto-updated xiaomi.eu to 11.0.10. Now it's on 11.0.11 and I still have the same problem.

Tried downgrading but just got bootloops, no big deal because I didn't want to clean flash.

BUT. I'm pretty sure this update somehow broke my USB port. Can anybody else confirm/deny/offer assistance?

Thank you.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] lalibm:
I'd suggest downloading the stock ROM (fastboot version) for your variant and flashing it with MiFlash. Take care as to not lock the bootloader by unticking 'lock' option in MiFlash else you'll get a hardbrick
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] charlie11:
I had a similar problem with mi note 10 pro, it was working fine with an .eu rom, by mistake I installed a chinesse rom, it was deleted the TWRP and the mode fastboot doesn't work since that. I could returned to the global rom using edl. and still now with the global rom only adb is working it is possible to put the mobile into fastboot mode but it isn't recognized by the PC, I have tried a lot of PC and drivers and still doesn't work, I and ending up thinking that perphas there is some king of physical damage in the USB port.
[Redmi Note 9S / Note 9 Pro (Indian Model) Question] mvikrant97:
I can help you with this. If adb is working then fastboot should work too.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Verbato:
Two unrelated questions:

1) Will I be able to copy my old sms'es from my Universal (through PPSPimBackup I'd suppose) to Raphael?

2) LINUX! That is my question. Will I one day be able to run linux on it? (more so than just a proof of concept, like the uni was)

Thanks for any info or thoughts. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mrvanx:
1) you could probably use PIMBackup more effectively and for free!? (is that what you meant?)

2) Its a possibility i guess, theres been success running a kernel on several devices, its a while since ive looked but the xanadux project wiki is a good place to look?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Verbato:
Mmmh, yep. It's saved as PPSPimBackup on mine... Don't know why...

Thanks, I will. Thank you! :)

Of course not. No V30 LOS-based ROM has VoLTE and never will. That has to be present in the V30 parent LOS tree, and that Dev says it's basically impossible. So, it will never be a feature in a ROM based on V30 LOS. It's only possible in V30 stock-based custom ROMs like A.I.X.

can you use microg with this rom?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Laevistus:
I really like the build and speed of this. WiFi worked right out the gate which is what prompted me to ditch trying to get Android 10 working. The ROM doesnt include any of the google apps so I used NikGapps to get the store and things working.

The issue is that any games or apps request that i use the google play services which is already installed and running. Not sure how to overcome this. Anyone else have this problem and perhaps a solution?

Edit: Nevermind. I used the unofficial open gapps and it worked fine. I included it in the zip queue from TWRP when i flashed the rom. I did the following:

Manually wipe (format) your System partition

Flash your ROM

Flash Open GApps package

Wipe the Dalvik & cache

Reboot

Any way you could upload the ROM to another file hosting service such as mega? When I try to download from the link it says there have been too many downloads in the past 24-hours.

Can't wait to test out Android 11 on this excellent device.

[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] aventurer:
So far so good (US998) - Wifi works, cell service works, GPS seems to work, tethering works. I'm running Magisk v22 fine, I installed Magisk App Debug and flashed Magisk-22.zip (just rename the apk to .zip) and MicroG works fine without the need to mess around with signature spoofing.

Edit: I could only get tethering to work from wifi, not mobile data (for internet access)

My only gripe is the always on display setting (always show time and info) glitches out so you can't really use it. If you try to turn the phone on the screen goes black and stays that way. I tried using a 3rd party app Always On Edge, but it uses too much battery to use aside from charging. FM Radio also doesn't work, but that isn't a deal breaker for the newest Android for me.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Osprey00:
Try the Always On AMOLED app from the store. I've been using that for the last year as an alternative to the broken AOD on Android 10. I haven't noticed any significant battery drain, perhaps because, as the name suggests, it's designed for AMOLED displays.
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] aventurer:
@Osprey00

Ty so much. This app seems a lot better. I had an issue at first where the permissions wouldn't go through, I just killed the app and cache and reloaded then it worked.

It also seemed to drain the battery a ton at first, but then I rebooted my phone and stopped messing with the settings so it seems fine now.

I also was wrong about tethering working, I could only get tethering to work via Wifi, not mobile data for internet, which defeats the purpose, maybe someone has some ideas viewing this?
[LG V30 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Developm] Osprey00:
