Hi, I don't know about phones, but on PC we have ram speed like 1666mhz, 800mhz and so on. So, what's the ram speed of the SGS?
I read somewhere, the minimum speed needed to fully utilise the 90mil/thread of our GPU is 10mb/s of ram speed? Correct me if I am wrong.
Thanks.

all diamonds have 192 mo but me i have only 128 mo why this problem ?
i fashed it with the last official rom but it stays 128 mo
what i can do please ?
i believe the rest is used by the "gpu"
Hi,
If I'm not wrong, it is related to the HardSPL installed. Which version do you have?
gpu has 64mb dedicated in itself, so it cant be that. mines got 192 well 191.98 lol
192MB!
Rudegar is correct in that the GPU has 64MB of the 192MB allocated for it's sole use, thus leaving 128MB for the rest of the system. It should still show 192MB in the system settings though.
TACalon is also correct... some people have had issues with the system feeding back incorrect information about installed RAM.
Either way, you have got 192MB!!
Hi all,
I just updated my HTC Shift with an SSD GMonster Photofast 1.8 ZIF V4 128GB and RAM 2GB Kingston DDR2 214pin MicroDIMM. Both was bought from eBay. The 128GB SSD cost me 589$ and the 2GB RAM cost me 189$.
My WM side is flashed with the Age of Beauty ROM by Thaihugo with GPS and Phone activated wich works better and lite version have a lot of free space. On Windows side I have installed Windows 7 Ultimate.
I have old experience with cell phones repairing and software updating so was very easy to open the Shift and replace the HDD and RAM. The SSD connector is identical with the genuine HDD connector and the SSD size match perfectly the HDD size. I restored my old Windows 7 image to the new SSD using Acronis True Image Home which done the work as expected.
Everything goes fine but when my Windows 7 try to boot sometimes I get blue screen. Sometimes boot was completed but in 5-10 minutes I get again blue screens. The errors messages was different but when searching on Google all were reffered to RAM. I also read here an article with the same issue for some users after upgrading to 2GB RAM so I restored my 1GB RAM and the "blue screen" issue was gone. I contacted the seller of the RAM and I will send it back tomorrow to get an replacement item.
HTC Shift support 2GB RAM and the memory was compatible and new item but seems that some items arrive defective from factory but an replacement will fix that issue.
Anyway the GMonster PhotoFast 1.8 ZIF V4 128GB is the fastest on the market as the read/sec speed is 120MB/sec and the write/sec speed is the 90MB/sec comparing with the original HTC Shift HDD which have about 20MB/sec read speed and 15MB/sec write speed. This also come with 64MB RAM inside and Built-in Garbage Collection which make it really faster and stable. GMonster is an Japan company with it's factory in Taiwan and they seems to be a great name on SSD.
Even with 1GB RAM installed my boot time speed was reduced dramatically and everything is faster as before. My battery life increased with about 30 min as those GMoster SSD's are low energy level optimized. Now the fan don't run at maximum speed anymore. Is like I own a new device so even if I spent about 600$ for this SSD believe me that is really a great difference.
Now I expect my RAM replacement so I can start using the maximum performance with my HTC Shift.
Best Regards!
Remember that when you use SSD, you need to optimize your Windows for SSD as there are some tehnologies created to make old HDD faster but those will end by shorting your SSD life if not disabled.
1. Disable Defrag as SSD is faster enough to not need it.
2. Disable Prefetch (you need to edit registry).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prefetcher
3. Disable Superfetch service.
4. Disable ReadyBoost (from "Performance Monitor").

Windows 7 should disable by default all those things but the issue come that Windows 7 is not yet able to detect all SSD so if will not know that the hardware installed is an SSD then will keep them active.

Great guide deprotector!
this will be very useful.
What is real tranfer rate of this sdd? Can y benchmak it? I think, that zif has same transfer as ide and it has max 60MB/s. it will kill performance.
can you give guidance in step by step how to upgrade ssd & ram ?

AnyAny luck with the ram replacement? I had the same issue and decided to go through the reimbursement instead of the replacement option... I haven{t seem anyone yet confirm the the new memory module actually works without flaws...
Great news for a breat device. Great price too though
There is a small and very useful application for Windows 7, regarding SSD tweaks. Find it here:

Cheers.
now is 99$,2g ddr in ebay.
but expensive yet.
the ssd is lowest in www.taobao.com
maybe worth update it.
My SGS was bought back in September. A new one (feb '11) was in my hands a few days before and I saw constant write speed of around 9 MB/s on internal SD. Mine usually does 6-7 MB/s. Are new ones faster?
No cache involved: big files and overall speed
Same 6-7 MB/s.
I think is a very normal speed.
Can anybody with a new one (January or newer) test it?
Connect as a Card Reader and transfer big files (500 MB should be fine)
If using Windows, wait for the transfer to complete in order to see the real speed
not a valid comparison.. empty file systems have higher speeds you need to have the same amount of crap on there.. even that may not do it depending on fragmentation.. really need to start empty on both and do tests.
Does anyone know a way to check the speed (data transfer) of the internal memory in the T-Mobile G1???
I wanted to compare it to my class 10 microsd
And for those of you guys that already have the benchmarks, would you mind posting them here please?
Appreciate the help.
I'm not sure if there is an easy way to do this, but you can write a simple program/script and use a timer (ms) that is started and then stopped after a transfer of say, 10MB, to and from /data and then do the same to and from /sd-ext/ and check to see which one has the faster read/write times.
I can almost guarantee that the internal memory will be faster.
[Edit]10MB may be a bit much, something smaller like 2MB would probably be alright.[/Edit]
Any idea why my SD is slow, or how to improve external SD R/W speeds? I found one app, "SD Speed Increase" that changes somethings in the system to help increase speeds, I also found out how and what file it changes, and verified it actually did make that change, but still my speeds are pretty poor. I have a ScanDisk 32gig, UHS-1 card. Any ideas?
p.s. after I installed the app I did gain about 1Mbps of throughput.
A quick search of google indicates that the Note 3 does not support UHS-1 transfer speeds.
