Curious about different model specs. - Sony Xperia XZ2 Questions & Answers

So,from what i understand there are models in the East that have 6gb of ram and then the rest of us have 4gb variants. Now what im curious about is this,are they exactly the same internally excepting for the ram difference or are there other differences? If they are exactly the same,is there not a way to add the extra 2gb of ram to a 4gb ram device?

No, you can't add new RAM to a smartphone

@marcogiannetta,could you please explain why not? If the only difference between the two variants is only the extra ram. Why is it not possible to change it?

Because the RAM is solded on the motherboard, is not a modular component like on a PC.

Thank you,but could one not replace said soldering with the 6gb and solder that onto the board? Sorry,but im just trying to figure out if it isnt possible at all. I know one could replace the whole motherboard,but to do that,you could just as well have bought a phone with the 6gb ram already in it.

Isnt the whole point of XDA to ask questions and share developement etc of Android devices @Pandemic? I would much rather gather my info here where there are clever people like the Devs to explain things to you,instead of using Google. I did see the pm and have replied,thanks.

Upgrade Ram?

Im not fimiliar with the windows mobile OS would I have to make any software changes for it to support 128 mb of ram so long as i can find one with the same layout just higher bytes per address, and if possible can someone give me the model number for the G4 ram already installed I dont want to void the garentee if I dont have to. The omap 850 supports 128mb ram by 256mb flash but yet again I am not familiar with the layout if some one can scan a board at hires that would be great or any other advice.

Hmm... I'm a bit confused by what you're actually wanting to know. Are you trying to find out if you can upgrade the RAM on the Wizard's actual board itself?
Sorry, yes I would like to upgrade the ram on the board itself and if anyone has had any luck or even tried to do it.

You know, I've not known of anyone to attempt that yet. Unless I'm mistaken, of course. I'm not even sure that it would be possible or where one would even get the correct chip. You never know though.
But, be patient. Someone may come across this with some answers for you.

Great idea and good luck, you just might put HTC out of business on this one. Wizard forever.....

Actually I was thinking about attempting this myself. However it will take some time for me to plan this out. I am currently studying to get a degree in AASCET and one of my projects is to learn mobile repair. I don't believe this will happen until Quarter 3 though since I'm in quarter 1 it will be about 6 months before i'll even attempt this. However my guess is it should be able to work providing you can find compatible memory.

Help : 8/16 GB Diamond .. WM7??

1.Does diamond support Windows mobile 7 ?
2.Do U Think htc will release 8/16 GB Diamond?
what a random question. thres no evicence for either, but i doubt the storage upgrade. theyve done that with the advantage a year on, and everyone thinks its a waste of money.
but wm7, if its not officail, id guess the cooks will port it
Rory
I wouldn't rule out the storage upgrade. If HTC want the Touch Diamond to compete with the iPhone, they will have to do storage upgrades. Also, because I'm buying it, you know a better version is going to be released - it's my bad luck. (My Touch is a good example).
This may be a silly question but has anyone actually opened up their Diamond to see if it is possible to increase the Storage Memory? eg could it be possible to add/swap out the 4GB for more?

If you make a search on this forum (not only in Diamond section), you would see, that I've done a big share of contributions, namely on the Trinity ...
So, next time, instead of bragging, make a search first, and don't feed these non-sense threads...
HastaSSSS
There is evidence for WM7, just knowing M$, whatever we know now will be completely different from what is released, and it'll be released two years late...
I suspect HTC will release newer versions with more storage, but there is no evidence for that ATM.
isnt the touch pro basically the diamond with upgrades and sd slot for up to 64gb (so far)?
if any wm device is upgradeable, the diamond is a sure fire even if not officially supported

finally a decent response to my question. Now who has taken a look under the hood of their Diamond to see for eaxmple where on the board the 4GB memory chip is and how accessible it is. Is there any space under the cover to connect up another memory card...
The Touch Pro is too big and I don't need a keyboard. The only thing stopping me from getting a Diamond right now is the 4GB memory...

SDHC only supports up to 32gb... they'll come out with a new standard for 64gb chips I bet.

Does CM5.0.8 have a 10mb RAM hack?

If it does can someone give me a link to where i can find it?

No it does not. This is why we use Compcache or a Swap partition on our sd card.

No, and to continue to beat a dead f-ing horse:
<edit>Please</edit>Don't post questions in the dev section.
<edit>Please</edit>Do your own research. This has been brought up before and has been explained.
Because the ram hack takes away from 3D, the performance is actually worse off than helped.
ronii1123 said:

No it doesn't because most CM followers want cool toys instead of stable phones. I don't play 3d games either, so there's a sacrifice I'm willing to make, but they don't understand that. I'm working on one, but with the job and family, it will be a while. I'll post it once it's stable.
That is no longer used, due to the fact that the new kernel branch isn't compatible with the ram hack at all. A kernel dev would have one avail if it was possible to make one.
You people are all missing the facts in this;
The reason there is no 10 MB hack is NOT because it isn't possible, or even because it is difficult.... it is because ECLAIRE DEPENDS ON 3D much more than previous android versions did. Take away 10 MB from the GPU and it all turns to crap -- whether you 3dgame or not.

Oh dang, shoulda known king lbcoder would come in and correct everyone.
Anyway, since we have no 10mb ram hack, we use compcache or a swap partition (at least on G1's) to make up for low memory. But this might not be fact...just what everyone is doing in the G1 Development Forum.

I suggest not using swap.... it is quite an ugly hack for android -- makes things slow. Let the android memory manager do its job -- it is very good at it.

If you're using ADW Launcher, try locking home in memory from spare parts. It fixed that issue for me.
nevermind found it.

2.2 on 2.1?

I know it probably isn`t a very smart question since i didn`t find anything on the subject but is there something like an emulator for the x8. After some time every custom ROM starts crushing lagging and so on. So I would spend my time customizing the Eclair if there was a way to run the newer apps on it....

I have a theory actually , want to share it with u.
As u know synapyic is capable of identifying real dual touch but it is limited with firmware...
Maybe we have 512 MB Ram but sony has limited it to 256 due to marketing strategies...
Is it important how did i send this?

So bad that they don`t support their own product because they aren`t selling it anymore, because its obvious that even with this hardware (real or not) it can run something newer if they customize it the right way....
