Re: TP2 ram question.
 

Darkman is right. TP2 has 288MB RAM (-32MB video), but for some reason only 188MB is available for us. This was discussed when it was released but i forget where the 'missing' memory has gone to. Certainly isnt available for our use which is very disappointing. My TP1 never slowed down but my TP2 does on a regular basis, especially when browsing.

Re: TP2 ram question.
 

Guys that keep telling him he has RAM with Storage confused - he DOES NOT, and he is not confused but you are:) the OP got it right. In all specs TP2 is trumpeted as having 288 of RAM(just like original TP) but in fact not all of it is available to you. I cant find the link anywhere now but i believe it took 64mb for video plus another 32mb for baseband. Please correct if i am wrong.

Re: TP2 ram question.
 

Thanks guys....I thought I was going crazy here.

Anyone find that link that said what the missing memory was for? I couldn't find it. Also what is "basband"?

Re: TP2 ram question.
 

Look here, it clearly states 32mb go to baseband, baseband is responsible for radio operation(Edvo/calls). As for another 64mb it goes to video and most likely to performance, no wonder TP2 runs so much smoother than TP(1) with the seemingly same exact specs. Dont feel bad since according to this big bad monster HD2(with 448mb of RAM) will only have in fact (drum roll) - 201mb acessible? whaat?

Re: TP2 ram question.
 

Remember you can turn off push internet, and the htc app proxy cache and free up 20-30MB. My TP2 boots (with Mobile Shell) to 41% usage.

Re: TP2 ram question.
 

Yeah that kinda sucks, but probably means better video support and a much smoother device.

I have both those cabs installed and from a fresh boot with Sense UI 2.5, I get around 47% usage...which is not too bad but more is better....greedy eh?

Re: TP2 ram question.
 

Disable the proxy cache and you will quickly notice how slowly applications start up. For some this may be bearable and worth the savings in RAM, but I ended up re-enabling it soon thereafter.

Re: TP2 ram question.
 

At any rate, pagepool setting drops your available RAM as well. With a 0 dynamic pagepool, you can get ~199.15 MB.

Re: TP2 ram question.
 

EnergyRom 12/17 - WM6.5, Sense 2.5, MaxManila 2.6. Push internet disabled, proxy cache enabled, + my own apps.

Boot = 63% usage (incl. Magicall 14kb, SMS Patch 261kb, Lumos 309kb)

Program
Total: 168.03mb
In Use: 105.26
Free: 62.77


PHM Task Manager shows that the CommManager is autoloaded and uses 558kb, BTTreyCE.exe 26kb. Manila is "only" 1378kb, tmail 68kb.

So where is this 168mb total coming from? The page pool is set to 30mb by the way.
