Can everybody else check in the system monitor app weather your showing only 1.5gb of ram instead of 2gb?
Mine says 1.5gb too

HTC does that I think, they reserve a piece of the ram to run the system and don't show it.

It's the same on any device -a certain amount of the total RAM is unavailable to the OS and thus "hidden". For example, the One XL shows 660-760 (or something like that) total RAM, depending on the ROM you're running.
1.5GB
2.0GB

Why do you stress yourself and worry about such small things.

That's a lie. Every android phone does not say 1.5gb of ram. My android phone only says 350mb.

Since this thread is talking about ram, I'm wondering how well does the One handle multitasking? Can any One owner comment on this? My previous OneX pretty much couldn't handle any form of multitasking at all.

Your not getting it. My nexus 7 shows like 900, nexus 4 around 1.6. Previous phones says the same thing as having ram amounts shown less because it is dedicated to the phone.
It be cool if every android phone on this planet that said that right?

No multitasking to speak of. The 1.5GB available RAM is a stock.jpg that lies to the user.

I have also read that the GPU does not have dedicated RAM, so that it uses some of the 2gb. Then the operating system needs some RAM.
I just got mine from Rogers today (Canada)

You know this will depend on how many apps you have installed, running, and set to start on boot. I leave quite a few memory hogs in the background so I usually sit at 95mb free.
190 mb free with 40 apps.
Plus free memory isn't doing anything. Only useful if it is being used.

lol, I am talking about the Internal Phone Storage
So, I got my 8 GB model maybe half an hour ago. I can already say that this is the fastest android device I've ever used and it easily destroys even the nexus 7 in terms of smoothness and speed. The haptic feedback is amazing too. I shall post some screenshots if someone tells me how!
Useable space is about 5.65 GB.
Useable RAM is crazy. I have like 1.6gb free all the time so far!

5.65, eh? I think that's enough free space to push me towards the 8GB model rather than the 16GB one. Thanks for the info.
Its about 5.4 after my apps and photos are on there.

Thanks for posting I also order a 8gb I should have it by tomorrow, i was kind of worry about storage space 5.4 GB left is not too bad in my opinion

I know leaks are silly most of the time, but has anyone seen the N5 leaks?
The specs are kinda sweet. 2.3GHz quadcore, 1080p, 5.2 in, 3GB RAM and such.
Probably still no microSD. They would sell a lot more N4 with microSD.
Most of them I don't want or need. But as the N4 is not that expensive, I might trade up. How about you guys?

i think these rumours are just partially true. i dont think google will release a phone with 5.2" for now, im not even sure it will be 5". just look at the htc one, 4.7" and full hd, i think that would be perfect.
3gb ram... sounds weird. i think theyre gonna stick with 2 gigs. never seen my n4 run above 1.2 in usage.
2.3ghz cpu = snapdragon 800. might be true, although they might go with tegra4. either way, its gonna pack a lot of power.
no microsd slot is reasonable, just give me the opportunity to have at least 32 gigs of storage, and im gonna be fine.
the biggest hit with the n5 will be key lime pie imo. the hardware is waay ahead of the software if we're talking about android.
we need sw optimizations, and for the love of god, do something with the battery! the most annoying thing of any smartphone is that it must be charged every day if used normally.
im really interested in motos x phone, it should - like moto usually does - deliver decent battery life with good hardware and if the rumours are true, it will have vanilla android = its a win for me.

Is there no fun in these articles?, we don`t cure cancer here. Just people who are intersted in improving and tweaking their phones and intersted in what`s to come
I don't care about these specs. But have you seen this design ??/ Totaly sick !
Nope it's not the next nexus. 3gb ram? There wasn't even 2gb ram on high end phones until last month.

U.S. versions of the SGS3 have 2GB RAM. They were released in what, June or July of 2012?
2.5Gb or 4Gb RAM is more likely than 3 and hopefully DDR3.
I thought the rumor for KLP and allegedly up the newer Linux kernels use way less RAM then ICS/JB...why the need for more than 2gb then?

I was thinking the same thing. A mobile device using even 2GB RAM is a bit ridiculous. Jit compiling and Java in general are such resource hogs. Oh well.

Yeah just seems like overkill, or perhaps KLP and up will gobble up more RAM than we thought?

The main issue I see is that you have a ton of basement coders with no real training or experience releasing apps onto the Play Store loaded with inefficient and just poor code. That, I think, will be the main issue causing the "need" for more resources.
Shall we get into why quad and octa core CPU's in a phone are ridiculous with multi threading being in the state it's in or leave it alone?
can someone tell me how much RAM is used when the first time HTC ONE turned on without many application running. My HTC ONE X+ only have around 250 MB left of RAM when the first time the phone is turned on.
Please correct me if I wrong, but I think, this is due to HTC sense stuff that takes lots of memory to run. It makes me thinking twice before installing application especially the one that running on background due the the memory space is very little.
I don't own the One yet and cannot comment on exactly how much ram sense 5 uses, but One has 2gb ram so it means if sense 5 uses the same amount of ram as sense 4, it will leave you 1.25gb which is enough and good amount for app running and switching.

On my friends HTC One there is 1.5gb of free ram or so.
Just done a full reboot and mine is showing 1.1gb free memory.

From memory, go into settings then apps/applications and you should be able to swipe right which will then show you free ram I think.

So I download one of my favorite apps of all time today for Android, it's just come out!
Anyway in the spec section it states the One only has 1567Mb of RAM in total....is this an app error as I thought the One had 2Gb of RAM....it's not a problem I just would like to know.
