wht r da disadvantages of x10 having only 384MB ram?

if u compare to htc and samsung galaxy S..da ram in x10 is less. will it affect anything in performance or any limit in receiving updates?

sorry for asking a dumb Q but im curious to know..
[XPERIA X10 General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
there is always ram reserved for the OS. so the performance shouldnt be slower. just see DROD motorolla. its 256 and its super fast.

also. always use programs like task managers, it free rams for you. as soon as you leave an application, it closes and free ram

besides. how does it everyone say its 384 ? when i downloaded programs from the market place on my x10. it told me the free ram is just a lil above 256 " 270 was it ? " or something like that.
[XPERIA X10 General] metcard:
from my understanding, the x10 has 384mb of ram. however, android 1.6 can only access about 256mb of ram.
[XPERIA X10 General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
it probably make sense but thats weird. the 1.6 can only access 256....... f$$k you sony seriously :/ . what a waste. super device with amazing colors but we can only get 65k out of it only. and now out of 380 ram we can only get 256....
[XPERIA X10 General] cashaw:
Do you really need to swear ?
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
That is an interesting point. Sounds logical, but may I ask where you came across this little nugget of information?

Also, obviously like everyone else, I want more, more, and more. But I would really like to start on the X10 with the Android 2.3. As for the speed, sure I can see it, but how much of the slight lags here and there wouldn't be improved with a better OS version? Probably quite a few. Though I really do NOT understand how SE can propose an update so far down the line and than not provide their loyal customers with the latest version. I find having to wait nearly a year for the 2.2 a bit insulting. Than to not even offer more open and honest communications with x10 owners about OS revisions, plus patching it up like a mummy to make current owners feel even more like they have to buy the next model, well, doesn't anyone at SE think that they might be taking their greed a bit too far and, their customer base a bit for granted?

I've purchased the P900a, P910i, and the X1. I never waited before, and have always bought the phone right out of the gate. I understand that SE always release their phones with slight issues, but this is getting insulting. I have been using the X10 for a couple of weeks now. I think the world of this phone, but it should not have even been released with the 1.6. Even if that means waiting, that is what makes for good customer service. Now I have not yet decided to purchase the X10, even though my provider will give it too me for free. In fact, I have decided to wait from now on before I buy any SE. I am just a bit tired of being taken for granted. The P900 to the P910 left a slight bad taste in my mouth. I had to problem solve the X1 on my own, voiding my warranty, and auto updates. Now here SE are again pulling the same s**t they have on every other flag ship model. Do they really think their new update methods and promises of continued support fix the real issues?

So back to the question. Speed, this phone and this company have much bigger issues than speed.

This is a message to any SE reps that may actually follow what their customers are saying. I am going to buy the next SE flag ship device as long as it has 2.3. and doesn't have a bunch of problems. But I am telling you right now the next time you release a device that is not ready, hoping to get even more customers midterm by offering the same phone with more, I am done. Reward those that wait, and punishing those of us who have supported you. Keep it up and I am gone!
[XPERIA X10 General] gr00vy0ne:
It really depends on how you look at it.

Android OS 1.6 is the limiting factor for the 256MB limit. So, Sony Ericsson actually did us a favor by giving us more than the shipping product could use because they planned to update it.

As we all know, the UXP update is coming with 2.1 (for now) which will take advantage of the extra memory in addition to taking advantage of the 16 million color screen. Also, the new OS is faster and has a lower memory footprint so we should still have a great performing device.

Newer high-end models coming out now have 512MB of memory which is only 33% more.

EDIT: If you check out the Android 2.2 SDK documentation, it shows they added support for > 256MB. So, it looks like not even 2.1 has it unless companies are patching the kernel directly.
[XPERIA X10 General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
newer models.. u mean newer Ver of X10 ? or phones like nexus/desire ?

as for x10 being really 384 vs 512, its no big deal really. no one will notice the difference.

much like how Desire has more ram than nexus
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
512mb sounds delicious! "only 33% more" is massive. Imagine if airplanes traveled 33% faster, what that would do to air travel.

Android 2.1 and 2.2 are already so yesterday, what a joke that they are even considering updating to either. I doubt very seriously the X10 will get the 2.3 or higher version before the next flag ship device is released. Other wise what will they have to sell next year? It is a timing game designed to make more money. And, I truly believe that SE would be so much more successful if they stopped this business practice.
[XPERIA X10 General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
yes but not even 2.2 takes the fall ram usage of the device :/
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
I am not as concerned about the 512mb as I am about the 2.3. What is the point of having the latest and great hardware if it is being limited by the software. And, waiting nearly a year for a software revision that will still be behind other devices with lesser hardware make you wonder what is going on. And, since SE is being so tight lipped about the whole thing just adds insult to injury.

The 2.3 is a massive improvement from earlier releases. So right now who really cares if it gets updated to 2.1 ro 2.2. Both are a complete waste of time for those of us justifying buying any manufacturers flag ship devices. If this device does not get the 2.3 or better I would not waste my money on it.

The question is will I wait until November to find out that it wont be the 2.3 or do I just buy HTC or something else now? Do I take a lesser device that is at least being optimized to it's potential with the latest software? Based on SE's past models I think we can all assume that November will not be the 2.3

This is not the modus operandi of SE.

It is almost like SE is selling their devices spec sheet, and who cares about the rest. SE might be the only company on earth where the limits on their devices are not hardware related, but are software related. What a stupid business model.
[XPERIA X10 General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
man.. we are fighting to get 2.2 and ur thinking of 2.3 which probably didnt start development yet ?

lol @ this. i guess u will never buy a phone.
[XPERIA X10 General] Tjotte:
In this comparing it would more correct let the airplane carry 33% more passengers rather then making it faster.

[XPERIA X10 General] chowdarygm:
a question for everyone thinking about the version numbers......

what company has upgraded their OS right after google has released it??????

even motorola with vanilla OS phones(droid and milestone) couldnt do it till many months....

sure SE is little lagging but nothing to blame SE here .... thats how its working everywhere......
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
By the way the 2.3 is well into the development phase. It is scheduled to be released in Q4 which is exactly the same time the X10 is scheduled to be updated. How many phones do you think will carry the new 2.3 before years end?

A half of a year more is not that long. I will wait and see what the market has to offer come than. I only get one free phone per year and I wouldn't want to waste it on a device that is offering last years software.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
Well it terms of moving bits wouldn't moving 33% more be the same as 33% faster?
[XPERIA X10 General] cashaw:
No, the speed is still the same. Android planes do not have many passengers so an increase in seating space does not mean faster travel. Indeed this is exactly why Android Airlines fills up the un-used seating for free with passengers from Moxier Inc.

[XPERIA X10 General] ukon:
I am sorry... but.. I doubt that there will be many phones with androidd 2,3 untill next year. At least if it so due to be released in the fourth quarter.

And SE would probably need time to "upgrade" mediascape/timescape yet again before that.

I think that you should be thinking more about the 2,1 version first. and then 2,2/2,3 after that.
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
I am sure you are right, the X10 will need time. Look how long it is planned to take just to upgrade to the 2.1, and the 2.1 is already out and being enjoyed by millions of users. What is left, another 6 month's for X10? However, I doubt very seriously Android will release the 2.3 in the 4th quarter and not ship any phones with it at the same time. It just doesn't sound right.

When an OS is being released I think that means it has already been engineered to the models it will released on. I would bet it will be a massive release on several models. So when they say 4th quarter release, that means the 2.3 will be on the actual phones being offered at time of release.

However, I am sure SE will offer the 2.3 sometime after the release of the next SE flagship device, like the X20 for example. This is SE's MO.

I will be in that group of people to buy a new 2.3. I do hope it is the X10, I love the phone. But I would be gutted if I bought the X10 and it turns out another flagship device is being offered with 2.3 and the X10 won't get it until June for example. And, since SE are hold their cards close to their chest I'll wait and see. No worries, no hurry
[XPERIA X10 General] lqbweb:
ey people, you sure the phone is at 384mb? i thought it was 256 + 128 for graphics....
[XPERIA X10 General] fm1776:
I'm not! But I do know it's 1.6! ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
well.. isnt nexus 1 the same thing ? out of the 512 ram, 128 for graphics?
[XPERIA X10 General] hoss_n2:
yes 128 graphicis is the same in all
[XPERIA X10 General] hoss_n2:
the problem now is that people don't understand the difference between speed and ram memory , ram memory is a memory that the apps uses when they are open. 32 mb will not differ from 1gb memory in speed if they are not full ,the things that controle the speed of device is the processor at main and the DDR of the ram memory but all phones had DDR 1 so it will be only the processor that controles the speed for normal use :)
[XPERIA X10 General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
this is right. but if you dont have enough ram to run a program, your program not only will be slow, it wont even start. the X10 available ram is very low. i remember i was oepning few programs and i ended up with 40M left only according to my task manager showing.

this kinda remind me of the old HTC phones winmo based. you open file explorer, you open tcpmp. you try to open the cam but then it force close with the stupid message " not enough memory please close some apps"
[XPERIA X10 General] pakraider:
SE needs to update to 2.2 (Froyo) for sure, as future Android enhancements will be primarily released as components in the market that any Froyo or better device could utilize.

It's because Google knows that segmentation among different manufacturers and their customized builds is slowing everything down.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
It's different with linux though. It will free up memory as it needs it. Otherwise it just keeps stuff in memory in case it needs it again, making it quicker!

[Hero CDMA General] DevinXtreme:
rm -r is a recursive deletion and can have a lot of unwanted and harmful side-effects if used incorrectly. To just remove apks, a simple rm works just fine. If they typed the wrong directory, file name, whatever, a recursive deletion would clear the entire folder... Not really something you'd want.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jjulian_97:
My phone keeps making a sound (that I'm not allowed to link to or upload... :mad: ) over and over again for several minutes at seemingly random intervals. What is it?

url: joejulian.name/noise.ogg

I've gone through every sound file on the filesystem and none of them make that sound.

I've listened to every possible notification sound.

It happens whether or not wifi and/or bluetooth are on.

On charger or not.

Plugged into a computer or not.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rickyzone:
My money is on an unsuccessfull sync. Try going to settings > sounds and notifications and go through them all seeing which notification you have set to that sound.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jjulian_97:
Tried that back when I first got the phone (when it first came out). :(

I've never been able to find what causes it and I've gone through every sound file on the phone, none of them make that sound.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] rickyzone:
Ok, looking through the alerts it was modern.wma (windows/rings/modern.wma) or a varient of (modernmid sounded closes)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jjulian_97:
Well I'll be damned. I could have sworn I listened to every damned sound file. Thanks.

Oddly, in settings/sounds/notifications, none of the notifications show Alert-ModernMid.wma but a registry dump showed:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D658-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]
"Wave"="\\Windows\\Alert-ModernMid.wma"
@="ActiveSync: Begin sync"
"Duration"=dword:00000000
"AvailableOptions"=dword:00000003
"Options"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{8ddf46e7-56ed-4750-9e58-afc6ce486d03}]
"Options"=dword:fffffff7
"Wave"="\\Windows\\Alert-ModernMid.wma"
@="Connection established"
"Duration"=dword:00000000
"AvailableOptions"=dword:0000000b

"Connection established" shows the Ring dialog instead of the Alert dialog, and shows Ring-OldPhone2 as the ringer. "ActiveSync: Begin sync" has "Play sound" and "Vibrate" both unchecked. Those were the only lines with "Alert-ModernMid.wma". :confused:

I'm going to try editing the registry entries but I still think it's odd...

Hey guys,

I have a 32B my touch 3g and I was following http://theunlockr.com/2010/04/26/how-to-root-the-htc-mytouch-3g/ this guide to root. I flashed the sappimg.npg to go from 1.6 -> 1.5. The problem is, I can't seem to activate the phone! When I turn on the phone after the flash, I get to the http://techblog.aasisvinayak.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/device22.png Touch android to activate screen. The sim that I'm using does have a data plan. I used the sim in my roomates phone and he is able to get on the internet.

Anyone have any clue where I should go from here? :confused:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shekki:
Just skip that step and activate your wifi. After you activate wifi then connect to a wifi network and sign in with your gmail account. I've encountered this problem when I've flashed a new rom. I guess when you flash a new rom you disconnect from the network so you don't have data for a bit. Don't worry your phone will automatically connect and keep a stable connection eventually. Just be patient.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] CarlinT:
I can't connect to wifi, I'm still using the stock ROM.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cedeel:
What? You can't connect to wifi using the stock rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] CarlinT:
Unfortunately not =/
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shekki:
That doesn't make sense. You should be able to use wifi even with the stock rom. I'm not sure why you can't sign into wifi with the stock rom. Just try signing in a couple times and eventually it'll ask you if you want to sign in later. Then just click yes. After that connect to a wifi network and sign in from there.

The only way to register your handset is through cellular data I don't think there's away around that if your root process was successful I'd suggest trying a different rom or wiping and trying again or let your phone set for awhile maybe its having trouble registering with the network this does happen so be patient
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] CarlinT:
I was in the process of rooting, but didn't get very far. I downgraded from 1.6 to 1.5, and thats when the data stopped working.

Sounds like a step was missed somewhere I would try wiping and starting from scratch and make sure your magic is a 32b an not a 32a also when yöu install your rom make sure its something stable for your version of magic

The feature of a2sd must be supported by kernel,because the script would not be executed if sd is not mounted so we have to make some change to kernel that we could have sd mounted before the a2sd script's exed.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
Not the framework, the linux kernel. It would need to support one of the ext filesystems (ext2, ext3, ext4). You can check whether it does by executing

adb shell cat /proc/filesystems

and looking for any of the ext's in the output. If it's not there, one would need to recompile the kernel adding this support.

Hmm although I don't really know why nobody uses yaffs on partitions of the sdcard - anybody know whether it would work? Or make sense?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] eyegor:
The kernel does support ext2/3/4 but the problem is that it executes the app2sd script before it mounts the SDcard.

Perhaps the new apps2sd script would solve the issue. (new as in cm5)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] drbobb:
yeah I just found http://wiki.theandroidkitchen.com/index.php?title=CursorSense32A_FAQ which kind of explains this. I'm not really content with that explanation though, if it were as simple as tweaking the apps2sd script surely cursor would have implemented it?

EDIT I just looked at the apps2sd script on my current rom (see signature) and as I suspected, it's the script itself that issues the command to mount the sdcard ext partition. So that explanation kinda doesn't make sense to me.
