[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott2020:
Hello

I wanted to get my PRI updated to the latest version, so I installed the .5 RUU over my custom ROM install on my hero. The RUU installed fine and it updated my PRI to the latest version, and I went ahead and updated my PRL also.

I run through the setup and it connects to my Google account, but after a few minutes it won't connect to the internet anymore. When I go to the market it just sits there "downloading" but never does anything. My Google talk won't connect either. I can open a web browser and surf though. Also, if I connect USB to my PC, then my Hero WILL connect and work as it is supposed to. I have tried updating my profile and PRL again. I also flashed the latest CM6 which does the same thing, as does ZenHero. I can't figure it out! Thanks for any ideas.

EDIT: I flashed the RUU back and it still is messed up. I also did a master reset and the PRI changed back to 1_6 something and I have better connectivity but it still cuts out. I guess I'm hosed.

[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
As much as I appreciate all the great stuff that has sprouted from XDA over the years, I don't think this forum will get as much attention as others since it's not an HTC phone.

This of course started as an HTC-centric development (read hacking :)) forum. I think their growth and popularity kind of forced some off-shoots into other manufacturers, but they are still pretty clearly HTC oriented.

[Fascinate General] kaotikevo:
That's lame if true, but it could always be possible that Verizon is only counting the amount of RAM that's actually usable for applications, rather than the whole amount. On the Epic 4G I believe only 325 MB of RAM is used for applications, and the rest is reserved for the system.
[Fascinate General] kanjax:
phandroid.com/2010/08/27/leaked-samsung-fascinate-equipment-guide-gives-full-spec-run-down/

I think they are referring to 384mb that is usuable ram, since it's stated that there is 512mb total.
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
It definitely has 512 total. Maybe only 384 usable by eclair. Rest assure this will b just as awesome as the other galaxies. I've had D1, Dx DI, D2, Eris. And I'm using the captivate right now and it blows all of them away. Ill b taking back my captivate and getting the fascinate the day they are available BC att sucks ass. Tried them when my vzw ran out and that was a big mistake. U get what u pay for, and with Verizon that's the beat service in the united states. Can't wait for this phone
[Fascinate General] coocood:
There is 384M traditional DRAM and 128M OneDRAM in hummingbird SOC.

http://dev.odroid.com/wiki/odroid-t/pds/FrontPage/s_blockdiagram.jpg
[Fascinate General] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Whats confusing is all the material related to the device seems to explicitly state that the Fascinate DOES have less on-board ram.
[Fascinate General] coocood:
Verizon is the only one who officially mentioned the RAM in the specs.

So it's very likely all the galaxy s phones have the same RAM size.
[Fascinate General] orateam:
Are you planning on flipping to the Galaxy?
[Fascinate General] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Yeah, Im pretty positive this will be my next personal device. I have confirmed it does indeed have less physical ram compared to the other Galaxy S phones. In spite of this, I will definitely be buying another one once it officially drops. I have been very happy with the fascinate the past couple days.
[Fascinate General] Milltac:
I'm a new user who is deeply interested in getting the samsung fascinate for verizon but i still have some doubts that maybe you could help me clear up.

A couple questions I would like answered if possible,

1.) You have confirmed it does have less physical ram, how was this? Are you sure its not 384RAM + 128OneDRAM = 512 total? Please go into detail if possible.

2.) "You have been very happy with the fascinate the past couple days" Does this mean you are currently testing it?

Thanks for any info!
[Fascinate General] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Maybe it is all just a misunderstanding, and it really is just the formatted size, but they are pretty clear when they say 384 megs of ram, not 384 formatted. The other phones are mentioned as having 512. Its even said the fascinate is at a disadvantage. Look it up. I dont have anything to post and I am not a tester, no sorry. I meant ive been happy with its performance as a phone(Galaxy S) is all.
[Fascinate General] orateam:
Look, lets settle this here. Look at the picture and it says 512mb flash/384mb RAM. Compare that to explanations of RAM for other phone products. That's 512mb flash RAM with 128 used by......... VIDEO. Every computer without a dedicated video card says the same thing. Go look up video cards with dedicated memory and video cards with shared memory. Obviously Sammy's video cpu uses 128k or RAM and they bundle that with the actual RAM of 384 to say 512. But all Galaxy S have only 384k of Ram to use.

I don't think Samsung has ever officially revealed how much RAM the PowerVR SGX 540 uses, but looks like the cat is out of the bag now. No wonder this Video card is such a beast. I wish i could put it in my laptop.
[Fascinate General] derichio02:
Ok well I want a fascinate so I looked into this issue. I have a friend with a captivate so I downloaded android system info from the market as well as android hardware info. When looking at the max ram available on the captivate, which is documented at 512, the max available ram was 325. If the fascinate has 384 then we are at an advantage. I'm happy will someone with access to a vibrant test this. I will screen cap and post pics
[Fascinate General] derichio02:

[Fascinate General] Milltac:
To the three posts above, THANK YOU SO MUCH. My god I have been waiting for a definitive answer the past week or so.

THANK YOU
[Fascinate General] orateam:
hardware wise, these phones are nearly identical. While its possible they would screw with the RAM, it's not likely considering how tightly the O.S. it integrated into it. The only phone that had a significant part of its Structure changed was the EPIC, which for some odd reason will only have 1 gig of internal FAST STORAGE. I don't think this will be a killer for the unit, but still odd.
[Fascinate General] radar5:
keep in mind too that the Fascinate is CDMA while the Vibrant and Captivate are GSM which are big hardware differences. Possibly one of the reasons why they have 16GB onboard memory and the Fascinate/Epic are only 2GB/1GB on board respectively.
[Fascinate General] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
http://www.droid-life.com/2010/08/30/samsung-fascinate-comparison-charts/

This is my source. See what i mean?
[Fascinate General] orateam:
Well that proves it. The droid life chart is crap and inaccurate. It claims 512k ram for the captivate, yet my stock captivate is less than 350k.

Are you surprised that unofficial charts are inaccurate?
[Fascinate General] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
That chart is from an official VZW training document. Trust me. ;) Thats not something droidlife whipped up, that came FROM samsung and vzw. Its about as official as you can get. Ive seen these before, and thats when I started this thread, not becuase of the phandroid post (I dont read phandroid). So now that these are finally out in the open, the internal Galaxy S comparison chart is what I have been referring to.
[Fascinate General] :
I would also like to mention that if it turns out that this is incorrect, I apologize for getting everyone worked up. That doesnt mean the phone is any less awesome. :)
[Fascinate General] fastblack:
I can't find anywhere confirming it is 512.
[Fascinate General] orateam:
There is none on ATT's website, but that droidlife chart claims Captivate to have 512.

I think they all have a total of 512k. It's just that Samsung didn't feel the need to say how much of that was dedicated to video. Based on the fact that stock ROMS' show less than 350k and usually only 128k - 181k of memory available, to believe that the 512 is available is just crazy.

I think Samsung was just trying to clear things up a bit by putting out there how much was available.

I'm also playing with a droid 2 of late and even with a task killer on everything the best i could get is...(right after the kill)

MEMORY -477mb, free 271mb, 224mb idle

and after 1 minute of doing nothing, just staying on the screen (i know some of crapware loads up)

MEMORY - 477mb, free 196mb, 81mb idle

so much for the 512k
[Fascinate General] :
You guys are right, probably just a mistake on Sammy's part. That makes a ton of sense, some guy on the marketing team must of goofed. That droidlife chart is legit however it is also inaccurate and therefore useless. There goes my argument! :D

**Sorry, can't post links yet**

"One of the big arguements was the Onboard memory. It is verified at 512MB Flash/384MB RAM with 2GB internal memory."
[Fascinate General] orateam:
figured it would be the same. good to see confirmation.
[Fascinate General] sic4672:
Hopefully this helps with the debate.

It's for the vibrant, but the application processor is the same.
[Fascinate General] orateam:
that's about the cpu. 512k L2 cache is a different world from the FLASH RAM 512 megs that the fascinate comes with.

Really what i think people want to know is what the /384 number mean. The obvious belief is that it's available RAM and from all tests of RAM from other galaxy s phones, it's the same across all phones.
[Fascinate General] aroy002:
So you guys have seen this by now I'm sure.

h t t p :// www-bgr-com.vimg.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/WM04.jpg[/url]

I just ran the same test on my friend's captivate and it shows the same amount of free ram, at 333356kb and the processor also running at 800mhz. It's likely that it just downclocks itself to preserve batterylife.

So it seems that this phone is not gimped and is the same as all the other Galaxy S devices out right now. Though the Hummingbird architecture is different from that of OMAP, in that it reserves 128mb for the Graphics card.

[Fascinate General] wisenick:
Here is the stock task manager
[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
It. Has been confirmed that it does indeed have 512. It just has something to do with the way 2.1 processes the ram. I also have captivate and it only shows 215 max on system panel with everything closed. This will b a badass phone, and i will have a droid x for sale. Mainly bc i love the SUPER AMOLED.
[Fascinate General] orateam:
All i know is that I looked at an EPIC yesterday and loaded system info and ram the stock RAM check. It's 325 megs. Since i had both the Vibrant and the Captivate, i know they are 325 as well.

So the question is not whether the fascinate is different, it's whether we want to still beat a dead horse question in the mouth. The droid, droidx, and all other android phones all show @300-400 megs of ram, not the 512megs advertised. So either advertisers are screwing you or you can begin to understand that the the total RAM has nothing to do with Free RAM.
[Fascinate General] nammyczc:
all galaxy s phones have 512mb of ram, UNTIL froyo is released the OS wont recognize the full 512 and cap at 328mb

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=756342&highlight=ram
[Fascinate General] sic4672:
I actually wasn't refering to the SoC cache, but to this:

"Within this Galaxy S phone, the S5PC110A01 was found on a package-on-package that partnered it with Samsung’s OneNAND and other Samsung memory technologies."

This meaning they stacked to SoC on a FLASH package (or visa versa) similar to stacking FLASH packages in SSD's. I mean this with all due respect, but please read the entire reference before you dismiss it as useless.
[Fascinate General] macsmister:
Why did I read this thread??? Now I want a Fascinate! :eek: I love my DInc but the only issue I have with it is sub-par gaming performance... If the Fascinate can also pair a Wiimote natively I think I'm jumping ship!
[Fascinate General] sic4672:
I'm in the exact same boat. Running CM6.0.2 right now specifically for the wii mote pairing. I already know I'm jumping ship because the software shortcomings will be handled within the next week or two with custom roms (maybe a cm6 port if we're lucky).
[Fascinate General] macsmister:

[Fascinate General] geeknik:
I don't know what is so hard to understand about this.

it says 512MB ROM/384MB RAM.

ROM != RAM

Most likely, the 512MB ROM is where your OS and system files reside. And then the 384MB RAM is memory that the OS and your apps use.

Think of the ROM as you would the c:\ drive in your PC and the RAM as well, the memory in your PC. =)
[Fascinate General] chococrazy:
Rom=Internal memory
[Fascinate General] orateam:
Your O.S. could reside in either ROM or RAM. Most O.S.'s use RAM. ROM is typically used for firmware like that on video cards, bios, or even a dvd drive. I know that i've flashed the xbox 360 DVD ROM several times (that's how you hack it). On a smartphone, the O.S. resides on the ROM because it cannot be changed without a firmware flash update . Of course that same flashing is how we root/jailbreak our phones.

Hence why they call a new ROM a custom ROM.

ROM is typically faster and of course ideal to speed up an O.S. when the CPU may not be up to snuff (phones / ipad).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
Long story short, I've been about to flash a couple custom ROMs, but I understand that the safest way to do so is to first flash back to the stock ROM using Odin. That's where I hit a dead end.

Now, I've rooted my Captivate, but done practically nothing else.

When I plug my phone into my computer (both my desktop and my laptop- W7 Ultimate x64 and Professional x86 respectively), I get a rather long message about how the device has malfunctioned and basically cannot be worked with (poor wording, apologies).

I have installed the proper (x64/x86 on their respective OS's) samsung drivers, and I have tried connecting my phone from within the booted Android interface, as well as download mode (which I have little to no problem getting into).

I have also tried checking the 'debug mode' box within the phone's settings.

I'll concede that I'm no pro when it comes to this level of phone-play. I've built many a computer, and solved many a software problem, but this has me stumped.

I've thought about doing a master reset of some sort, but don't know if that would solve it.

I'd appreciate any and all advice, so thank you in advance.

[Oh, and I sincerely apologize if this was posted in the wrong section. It is, quite honestly, the first thread I've started.]

Try plugging it into another usb port. I have seen windows continue to say a device is not working even after installing the drivers if you had already plugged it in.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyrovice:
I am at a complete loss for words.

I'll at least make it clear right now that I think my problem is solved.

I had been plugging the phone into one of the usb ports located on the actual chassis, and took your advice and instead plugged it straight into my mother board (the back).

Best bet, because it's very easy, is to reinstall the rom after a complete wipe.

Common Telnetd problem - unable to root

What's up xda!! This is my first post ever! :eek:

..please be kind.

I am experiencing a n00b issue w/ rooting my G1. So far I have been able to get up to where I am on RC29 and <enter>reboot<enter> successfully reboots my phone! This is great up until I'm told to hit the enter key twice, type "telnetd" and press enter. after the phone starts up.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT:

I believe I have ADB drivers installed properly installed

I am able to run Droid Explorer and it connects and recognizes my unit

I also have the following files on my SD CARD prepared

recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2

update.zip

I have also read that ONE solution is to look for someone with an current T-Mobile Monthly Account and ask to borrow their sim card so I can install the Telnetd and enable WiFi past the Google Login(I have asked a fellow and I was told an aggressive NO, apparently people are afriad of anything related to hacking and their SIM CARDS)

I have the G1 Original SPL currently

Also when booting into recovery Alt+L gives me the Log that shows ""

I hope to have made an appropriate first post granted I've been searching for answers and help and am still experiencing issues. I look forward to participating in this forum in the future looks like you guys have been having fun for a while!

Any suggestions are definitely welcome. :)
