Are you trying to say that the actual RAM that the system reports does not add up to 512MB?

On my phone Internal Storage is also reported as 380MB

The RAM 335MB. So where's the other 177MB in my case?

yes it also baffles me. Unless depending where you buy the phone, it has slightly different hardware specs.

If it is that is not good.

What Sony listed is correct, and what your phone shown is also correct.

What sony shown are the actual DEFAULT amount of memory and ram, but when you look at your phone it shown different because some of its memory/ram are being use to system apps/script,etc. and this "amount" is varies between phone.

Example: it has 1gb memory, which is default.....but then they install Android OS and its apps, thus on your phone the actual amount is less'n, and the same applies for ram.

That's what I also thought but the system does not seem to display how much RAM is being used by the OS. Probably have to work it out indirectly

Re: Actual RAM..!!

my "available" ram is 317, as I state before, it varies from phone to phone, reason can be different firmware, different rom, difference update, etc.

The value I mentioned earlier was from my Arc

You are absolutely right, the total RAM is 512 but the available ram (512 minus the Android OS usage) varies depending on what is put on your phone regionally and by your carrier. There are many other threads about this subject, you can link to them on the more like this tab at the right hand side of the page. Jeff (SE Answers Team) confirmed this after much discussion and confusion when the phones were first announced.

apc-user and other members

Well, there is one App in the market - "Mini Info" who show RAM used and/or avaible - and also CPU, Memorycard info and other information. It also has a small widget witch you can arrange after your own taste.

Try it

Thanks Roffe.

There are various different apps that will report these kinds of information.

I use the ASI app and also has a widget for it. Also free from the AM.
