Maybe sounds like a dumb question to some but I need to clarify this. I read a lot of posts and every where else that MyTouch 3G has 192MB RAM. I recently put a widget on my phone for internal memory size and it shows me 295mb Total. Then i checked in "About Phone" and it shows 284Mb there. Am i missign something here??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bonesy:
RAM isnt phone storage its phone memory like computer RAM

ROM However is the phone ROMs internal memory

I know with one of the hero roms i used it said 292 available from a fresh wipe and uninstall.There is no massive worry to be honest but if you want more spacejust clear data on the browswer.apk and the market.apk in settings>Applications>Manage Applications

I| do this once a week and still have all my memory availabl
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] technicolor:
Thanks for ur response, I am not worried about the space as i am using apps2SD and is all working pretty good for me. I am just kind of comparing the specs of Magic and MT3G. The main diffrences are motherboards, CPUs and Internal memory (lets not call it RAM or ROM at this time). Everywheer it is mentioned that Magic got 288MB internal memory where as MT3G got 192MB of internal memory.

Rightnow i have cyan4.1.2.1 with EnochX theme installed on it, I do not have any widget there so when i go to Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage

It shows Internal Phone Storage as "284MB" Now my question is this am i missing something or some how HTC put more internal memory in my phone or is it lying to me :(

Just wanna clarify this not having any problems coz of this.

Thanks,

internal phone storage = rom

It's the ram that is the difference between magic(288) and mt3g(192), not your "internal phone storage". Rom on both device is the same.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] technicolor:
I dont think this is the case, is there any way i can check the RAM size on my phone? If ROM is same on both the phones models then why are MT3G users running into problems when flashing Hero roms and everyone is blaming the internal phone storage size. Where as magic users are not having this problem.

Did you read this some where about same ROMs and different RAMs in both the models??
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ClintonH:
RAM is what runs your system apps and your ROM, which is the Hero UI or whatever you have installed.

The HTC phone has 288MB of RAM. The MT3G has 192MB of RAM. This is what makes the apps/ROM run.

The internal memory is called ROM which is the same on both phones.

Clinton
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] technicolor:
Thanks Clinton, is there a way to check the RAM size on the phone?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ClintonH:
Sure, if you have a 32b phone your running with 192MB, if your running a 32a phone you have 288MB.

Or if your rooted use this command

# cat /proc/meminfo

If it return 19XXXX than your running a 32a phone and have 288MB of RAM.

It will be a lower value (like 90 something) for a 32b, not sure of the exact number I have a 32a phone.

I'm writing an application which my HTC polaris,

But its very heavy and imho still to slow.

How i can see where my greatest performance loss occurs?

Its written in .net 3.5 (c#)

I have to calculate a SHA-1 hash about 5 million times,

Now what i don't get for one is that i loop a string and get 1 char cast that to int and that to hex like so:

string set = "0123456789ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";

foreach (char c in set)
{
((int)z).ToString("X");
}

How can this be faster then creating a set with premade Hex strings?

like this:

string[] set = { "30", "31", "32", "33", "34", "35", "36", "37", "38", "39", "41", "42", "43", "44", "45", "46", "47", "48", "49", "4A", "4B", "4C", "4D", "4E", "4F", "50", "51", "52", "53", "54", "55", "56", "57", "58", "59", "5A" };

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] godefroi:
Your code doesn't really make any sense (what is z? where did it come from?), but in general if you're using the same array 5 million times, you shouldn't recreate it each time.

Also, string operations in general are expensive, avoid them if you're really dealing with numbers (which I believe you are in SHA-1). SHA-1 is built-in in the full framework, is it missing in the compacr framework?
[General Questions and Answers] Scalee:
Your right that didn't make sense :P it was a part of the loop (and the wrong part should just have said char z, there are 3 of these loops inside each other)

Anyway i don't recreate the array, i mean that i used a char array and convert those to int then to hex (now i just have a hex array)

I am using SHA-1 using the CoreDLL.dll like:

Hi guys,

I could not find any other "help" section, so I decided to write my problem here. My Diamond 2 has some sort of display problem, device works, same with touchscreen. I can blindly control the phone, but I can't see anything because LCD does not work. I attached a photo of how LCD looks like when it is not in standby (light on). LCD looks fine with light off (in standby/turned off).

Anyone knows what this might be? I don't know how it happened, but not by my direct action. I checked a clock many times that day, and later when I checked the phone I just could not get LCD to work anymore. Just this.

I already e-mailed HTC service for support. I bought the phone from Amazon UK like 3 months ago, so I think warranty is still valid. I just hope they will not cause any problems and repair the phone without any fees. I am just checking here for your expertise on the matter. Maybe there is someone else here with same problem.

Thanks!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Man.:
Hi

By pressing the button at the top (to check the clock) so many times the button

may

have got loose or the the wires connecting the LCD to the motherboard may be loose, I had this problem with my Nokia N85.

Best thing to do is get it repaired under warranty. First, ring or email Amazon and see what they can do. If your unwilling to send it off Carphone Warehouse will do the repair it for you but you have to find the repair centres. They have quite a few so it should be too hard to find.

Also Carphone Warehouse will not charge you as long as you have proof of purchase.

Hey guys,

I recently got a Telstra TP2 on a new contract, but I can't stand what they've done to the ROM. For those who don't know, Telstra have added 4 extra tabs on TF3D (downloads, telstra applications, tv, news and sport) which can't be removed or turned off, and they've put 12 locked (unremovable) program shortcuts on the start menu.

As I'm in a rural area, I need the 850 band the Telstra version of the phone supplies, and I'm worried that flashing a new cooked rom will lose this functionality (I'm very new to this). As it is, the shipped version of the Telstra rom isn't found on this site through the wiki (version 1.19.841.3 (51489) wwe), so I'm scared that I'll lose it forever and won't be able to put it back on if something goes squirly.

Is there anyway I can get around this besides flashing a cooked rom, and possibly losing the shipped rom forever?

Also, have any other telstra users been able to use HDWall on the phone to replace the crappy blue telstra background throughout the device?

Many thanks,

Tim

Hi there, me again.

I was at the Windows 7/Windows Phone pre-launch in Melbourne on Tuesday, and picked the brains of the Microsoft employees manning the Windows Phone booth showing off Winmo 6.5 on the TP2 and D2. One of the first things I was asked during the conversation was if I had already flashed 6.5 on my phone, which I was surprised about. I mentioned my reservations about losing the 850mhz band with Telstra NextG, and the employee told me that the support for the band is built into Telstra's crappy ROM, and would be lost if flashed with anything else.

Are they yanking my chain or what?
[General Questions and Answers] SleepiTyme:
I would like to know this too.

I`ve changed my ROM twice, saved my original one.. and I`ve finally encountered a connectivity issue...

Perhaps it`s my using a Telstra, Unlocked HTC Touch Pro 2 with an Athine ROM (though it really doesn`t make any difference what ROM I use... Maybe) on my Rogers BlackBerry Internet plan.

But I`ve used the Sony Ericsson Xperia on it and a few weeks prior to this date, have had no problem surfing the internet.

It MAY be the fact that Rogers is having problems with their network in downtown Toronto, so I`m hoping it`s not my TP2...

In any case, I`m using HDWalls on my phone.. but I`m just (un)installing the individual walls as I go along.

There`s something wrong with my computer that I have to fix because I cannot install the items necessary to use HDsWalls on the phone, and on the computer.

But so far, it`s been the best.

Although, I just have to say.. if you don`t have anything like "background for all" sort of cab files on the phone, I believe;

1) The phone runs faster

2) The background quality is crisper/better

Took me 2 weeks for me to get my Telstra Touch Pro 2 from Australia to Canada, and it was worth it.

I BELIEVE just changing the ROM will do nothing to the radio.

Moving into radio talk, I was wondering if I updated my Telstra phone with the latest AT&T radio build, because the hardware is for 850mhz and so is the build...

Will it enhance my connectivity?

Does anyone have any expertise on this and help shed some light?

Hi,

In the specification sheet of HTC HD, it is clearly said that Ram is 288 and Rom is 512. But when I turn on the device, I saw that the memory for storage is 322 (71 in use) and for program is 195.58 (80 in use).

Where are the missing part?

288-195=93 MB of RAM

512-322=190 MB of ROM?
[Touch HD General] Budadank:
Yes, because if your ROM was empty, your device would not start up. If your RAM was empty, you wouldn't have an Operating System loaded into it to run it.

The figures you have quoted are the factory / in use figures... i.e. Once you have started your phone up, some of the RAM gets used up by loading the OS from ROM.

I hate to sound patronising and pedantic, but if you had to ask that question, you should have probably bought an iPhone.
[Touch HD General] acolytelee:
I knew this. But I am surprised that the OS takes such a large mount of RAM and ROM.

Do you mean that 512-322=190 MB of ROM is used for storing OS and other default apps like manila; and 288-195=93 MB of RAM is for WM 6.1?

After a soft restart, there are already 80MB RAM in use so I only have 100 MB for other apps out of 288 MB!!

I guess there should be a way to reduce the RAM and ROM usage by deleting some default apps. There is wm PPC comes with 128 RAM which gives user <100 mb to use. I am expecting that since HD has 288, I should have at least 200 mb instead of 100 mb to run my apps.

PS: I dislike the way apple manages iphone and mac. So no thanks.
[Touch HD General] Budadank:
Lots of the cooked ROMs in the ROM development forum cut out a lot of the fat - there are varying degrees between completely minimal to fully functional - depends on what you want. I think you will find it very difficult to fill the ROM on your device with programs etc - and media is what the Micro SD slot is for.

Could maybe do with a little more RAM at times but you can kill stuff with the taskmanager if you find your phone getting a bit sluggish.
[Touch HD General] acolytelee:
I agree with you on this point.

Are there any tweaks to do this?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
You could always use CleanRAM which does as it says, cleans RAM. Some apps or games like Xtrakt or NFS Undercover sometimes won't run due to insufficient RAM. After using this app on setting 2 they work.

Other than this your best bet is to use a lite rom with little or no apps installed on it so you can choose what you want.
[Touch HD General] acolytelee:
Thanks.

The lite rom, 6.1 or 6.5, does a lot to reduce Rom, which is not so useful, but not that much to the Ram.

The available ram is still 190 ~ 195 mb.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=482258

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=502618

However, it does cut off the Ram in use from 80 to 45 mb so finally one has 150 mb. but where is the missing 288-195?
[Touch HD General] Budadank:
I think you might need to just get over it matey. In proportion, it's actually not a lot of RAM usage at all. Not when you consider Windows Vista is happy when it has 1GB all to itself and then another GB for programs to run in. That's about 50% for the OS. You're moaning about the OS using about 35% of your RAM.
[Touch HD General] acolytelee:
for PC or laptops it's fine with that usage because you can buy rams at very cheap price.

I just dont understand why there is a missing 100 MB ram for wm 6.1 os. the other phones, such as htc nike with 128mb ram give program mem of 100mb. so the os takes only 28 mb.

Maybe it's the (totally useless) PushInternet service of Opera.

Here's how you can stop it:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=532948&highlight=stop+pushinternet

But the problem is that sometimes you want to browse some saved pages.

There are some saved pages that still require connection to update something.

And the phone goes on-line automatically WITHOUT asking the user. This annoys me a lot, since I have a fixed traffic amount and I don't want to spend it unawares.

I solved this issue by modifying a letter in my default connection.

This way, when the phone tries to go on-line automatically I get an error message saying it cannot connect. Now, depending on my needs, I either dismiss the message to stay off-line or fix that modified letter to go on-line.

To modify your default connection:

Settings tab, All settings, Connections tab, Connections, Manage existing connections, Click your default connection, Edit, Next, (here change the "Access point name" -- my last letters are .ro and I delete the "o"), Next and then Finish.

Maybe this solution is a bit rough but it works for me and I'm happy :).
