[Q] RAM size on HTC One. - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.
Thanks

It has 2GB's of RAM, some may be reserved for system use

The GPU uses the missing RAM

[Q] HTC One RAM used on the first boot

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.

HTC One only showing 1.5gb of ram

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

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.

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.

The other 500MB is used either by the system (Sense) or the Adreno 320 GPU, I forgot which.

1.5GB of RAM is available to these running applications. If you navigate to Settings > About> Hardware Information the 2GB value will be seen.
0.5 GB is dedicated to ensure the device software runs smoothly. :good:

HTC maxx

I wanted to get the HTC maxx but after seeing that it is going to come with an s4 pro I'm going to have to pass. My info is based from evleaks on blink feed. They are normally right.

s4 pro? are they serious?
hmmmmm
edit: this article says evleaks said it would come with the s800 http://www.christianpost.com/news/htc-one-max-specs-fingerprint-sensor-confirmed-again-picture-104571/
There's no way in hell that phone would sell if it came with the S4 pro. I think they may have received a false tip on this. I'm still believing in seeing an 800 in it.
I'm passing if it's not s800 and 64gb

Yeah mine is in January. I'm gonna cry if there's no s800 in it.
I don't think HTC can afford to give the Note 3 the advantage.
Impossible, no device has S4 Pro. Budget handsets now have Qualcomm S400 dual core chips.
It is IMPOSSIBLE that an unannounced device will ship with that

They're not gonna call it a "Max" with the same screen size. Plus, photos were already shown and it has a way larger screen.
However, I'm on the same page as most of you guys. I'd love to have it, but if it doesn't have the 800 in it, I won't get it. My plan was to get the Note 3 and get rid of that when the Max came out, but maybe I'll just keep my One and hang on to the Note 3. It just doesn't seem possible that there wouldn't be an 800 in the Max. I guess we'll see.

It'd be nice if they would simply make an 8-ultra-pixel camera, I only skipped the "One" simply because of the resolution limitations & memory-expansion.

Was? Curious, is it still an issue for you? I almost passed on the one for the same thing. And even though there are times I wish it was there, not having it hasn't been as annoying as I thought it might be.
Not likely to be a big factor in any future phone purchases for me since I've learned to get on without it

I've learned to manage. I also have a galaxy note 8.0 which gave me 48 gb dropbox so that has helped too. I'd pay an extra $100 for a 64 gb One 2

U guys do realize the only way to get a UltraPixel larger than 4 we will need a thicker phone to keep the sensor to pixel ratio similar since that's all the UltraPixel is

They(HTC) no longer hold a stake in the company itself, but that doesn't mean they don't still have licensing. From what I heard, Beats will continue to be offered.....but, that could just be rumor too.....
According to these articles, it sounds like the M8 isn't going to be much better than our current device. 2GB of RAM, UltraPixel camera (no reference about actual pixel count)
I hope these specs are not correct because I will not be getting it if they are.
HTC you need to step up your game on this device.

I'm ok with the rumored specs, my main concern is what size battery is HTC going with? Anything less than 3000mAh would be an epic failure.
Short battery life was the single reason I got rid of my ONE and ended up with a LG G2.

The phone would need to be a bit bigger for a larger battery. I think that battery life on my DNA is awesome. Although I do run a custom rom and kernel (latest cr-palmer kernel). I really don't think that they should use a smaller battery either, hopefully it will be more advanced.
I have a feeling (other elevate members will know what I'm talking about) HTC is considering going back to removable batteries.

I just wanted a SD. The only real world significance SGS4 has over this HTC in my hand is signal strength, battery, & SD option. My S4 isn't rooted, but signal way better
