2010-02-01
hey guys it's brandon minuman from pocket now calm the upcoming tmobile hd2 from HTC is supposed to have 576 megabytes of ram although the european version of the hd2 this one right here comes with four hundred and forty eight megabytes of ram well there's been rumors that both devices actually have the same amount of RAM that higher-level 576 and that HTC kind of hid part of that memory 128 megabytes to be exact so this is sort of not spread rumors that it would be coming with windows mobile seven upgrade in the future well the guys at xda-developers have created a ROM that unlocks this additional RAM and right now we're running the stock rom and I'm just going to show you a little before and then we'll do the after in a sec so if I go to SD card and storage you can see that right now i have a total program memory of 336 megabytes as you know some of its taken over by the operating system so you're not going to see the full 448 but keep an eye on that number 3 36 and about 200 megabytes free we're going to put on the new rom and see the difference and actually prove or disprove whether the european hd2 has 576 megabytes of ram which would be Crichton quite amazing ok so we flashed the rom that claims to give back the HTC hd2 a lot of program memory the HTC didn't include out of the box for this European version let's see if it actually hold true slide over here go into SD card and phone storage and wow yes a hundred megabytes nearly are added to the total program memory and free program memory before this number was about 200 so we had about 200 megabytes of RAM to work with the multitask now we have more than 300 megabytes so it's really amazing that the hd2 actually has this additional 128 megabytes of RAM that you don't get with the stock software it's really remarkable and we're sure that in the future when HTC releases the windows mobile seven upgrade to this device if it's actually true that software will indeed unlock this additional RAM for people that aren't flashing their device with crumbs as demonstrated here pretty amazing that's it for now
