This whole time I have been researching the HD2, I have always heard it having about 500+mb ram...now when I went and checked on the Tmobile site it says 1gb of ram...here (I was comparing it to the touch pro 2)...

I hope this is true ? but Idk why I dont really believe it yet??...any ideas?
the american version of the hd2 will have more RAM and ROM
These screenshots say 512MB ROM, 1GB RAM... but from what we know it's the opposite (1GB ROM and 512MB RAM), the guy who made the website description most likely screwed up. Not to mention 1GB RAM would be absolutely useless.

Yea, that's definately true!
But people always say bigger is better
Big phone
Big delay
Big bug
Big error
Is it better? No it isn't!!
yeah even on the htc website it says it will have 1gb of ROM and 5_ _ mb of RAM.... hey I know you say 1gb of ram would be useless, but for the same price -why would you argue with that ? haha....but yeah can we say 'false advertisement' here?.... I am sure there is a complaint to be made, for those of us who already knew it was fake from the beginning it would not be a surprise when we get our hd2 and do not see 1gb of ram...but for the others, they may be like 'wth??!' ....

Those who don't know yet most likely don't know where to check how much they have, and certainly don't even know what RAM is

This reminds me...
"hey, check out my new comp I just built! It's got 8GB of RAM!"
"Oh that's pretty cool. What processor are you running?"
"I went with Pentium 4. To save me some money on useless thing. Who cares? I have 8GB of RAM!"

Current ( European ) HD2 :
-512 RAM
-512 ROM
T-mobile ( USA ) HD2 :
-512 RAM
-1024 ROM
Isn't it 574 ram on both versions?
yeah they do but most shipped roms disable the last few sectors of ram for stability reasons i believe, you need a cooked rom to enable the full amount
Yep, but why do they loose stability with more ram?
Loose stability??? I see no difference between cooked rom (576MB RAM) and official 1.66 WWE (448MB RAM).
it probably looses stability in a case of when an application over ranges ram so if there is a block of ram reserved then it may be used for those instances ? I am not sure just trying to think why it would be that way....
Just open lots of apps to fill RAM and again ad again. Nothing happends. Where did U read about instability with 576MB unlocked?
that is not what I was talking about, (opening a bunch of apps)... that does not mean it will over range the ram...
you may be familiar with programming and in such if you say go out of bounds on an array -it will cause some sorts of errors.... This is the type of situation I mean when I said over ranging ram, except it may come in a different form, but when a program basically tries to access more ram than it is allowed or tries to access ram which is non existent then it would normally cause an error....
all in all it is just an example, and I was just trying to think logically of why they would not allow all of the RAM to be unlocked in stock ROMS ...

I concur, I am actually using one right now and in hardware specs it shows the 576mb RAM, 1024mb ROM, and of course the sick 1024mhz processor
as a result of the U.S. version having more ram and rom, its a little bigger..

Hi Guys,
Looking to buy a new HD2, just wondering that whether they still carry the hidden RAM? Has anyone brought one recently?
Yes, all HD2s have 576MB of RAM as long as you have the right ROM and radio.

That's not correct.
The PRO THREE's (Prototype HD2's) have 320/340mb RAM.
LEO 1.5 (TMOUS) have 1024MB RAM.

Yep, just not out of the box. You need the right combination of rom and radio to unlock the extra ram and bring it to 576mb from the default of 448mb if I'm not mistaken..

But it's absolutely correct because it's an answer to the OP, which clearly relates only to new HD2s. Maybe you missed that.
But only new US HD2 have 576MB RAM out the box, all other retail HD2s (not the pre-release) need to the right radio/ROM
So in a nutshell, all new retail HD2s have the RAM but only the US one is activated out the box
please help... on my phone it says total storage capacity 181.47... and total program memory 336.93... how's that... i bought the phone from orange romania... and this is after a hard reset... although in the about page it says... 448 RAM and 512 ROM...
anyone?

512 rom - minus the space the rom and the radio take up, also minus thee space the rom uses when it installs after a flash.takes about 250-350 meg which leaves you around 200 meg storage space.
448 ram - minus 128 meg for graphics =320 meg program memory.
your figures are exactly what a stock hd2 should show.

hello. i am currently a xperia x1 user but i am seriously considering to buy a htc touch hd2. however i can't decide between an unlocked tmobile (us) hd2 or hd2 apparently the us hd2 has 1gb rom and 576mb ram. i have read somewhere that the 'xtra 128mb hidden' ram can be unlock in the hd2 when flashed to custom rom i just want to confirm this and what you think guys which one the 2 you advice me to buy? its a hard decision for me. thanks!

i have seen a couple of unboxing videos o us hd2. they say 1g rom 1g ram. not sure abt the ram but the rom thng is what matters. believe me ull need every mb in that rom. only problem with my hd2 is that i always have to look out for not running out of space. its hilariously frustrating. go for the US one.

It's not like an iPhone - there's a slot under the back cover where you can put your own storage cards in. I've got 16GB in mine and I've had it for nearly 5 months and still have lots of space left on both the SD card and the phone memory!
forgot to mention that although u have 512 mb rom on the non us hd2, with the preinstalled system nd software on it, u start with only approx 140 mb of free space! now if u thnk thts enough, just try it.

Oh that's plenty. You just need to use common sense when installing things that don't need to be on the phone memory. That's difficult for some, and they don't understand so blame "low memory" problems, despite the fact that it's normal for WM devices and has been for years.
Also, with the ability to do what I want to my phone, unlike some other popular devices on the market, I can remove things that I don't want and get lots more than 140MB free on my device.
It's really up to you and your own personal capabilities and understanding as to what you do with it, just like most devices.

you sure the arent work each?
I got an HTC PRO THREE, the Pre Release version of HTC HD2.
It only has 320MB of RAM, and that's the only difference with the official HD2. I wonder if anyone there who also happens to have this device and unlocked the RAM to 576MB... i have tried the various/required Radios and various cooked and official ROMS and still has 320MB.
Does that mean hardware-wise, the only RAM i got is 320MB?
But i have read somewhere here, that on a certain rom, the HTC PRO THREE displays 340MB which makes a 20MB difference with the pre-released ROM, which seems to me that this HTC PRO THREE, has more than 320MB, since it displays 340MB on a non- pre release ROM.
Thanks in advance for the help.
could you provide a picture of the device?

So there is no chance hacking or unlocking the hidden ram if there's any?
The thing is, someone said that the pre release device was flashed by a certain rom, and was able to display 340mb ram on it, so meaning, if its true, there is more than 320mb of rams on this pre release version of HD2.
I just hope someone will clear this all to me. Thanks for the participation guys!

It might be what you said. The T8585 has just one hardware version providing a 576 Mb memory at all. So this fact sounds weird as well as the ROM should have less memory allocation, make sure either you didn't get a damaged device or somebody badly flashed ROM on it or the flash spoiled some hardware parts........
Anyway, try flashing a HSPL (the most updated) on it, get the ROM you like the most from the Web and see how it goes......... Bless you

The HTC PRO THREE has been released with a 320MB RAM and i doubt also if this is defective, as i've seen few users too of this 320MB HD2 version.
Thanks for the tip bro, i did installed HSPL2 and the current Artemis ROM, i didn't even check if that HSPL2 was the latest..i'll try to look at it later. Thanks again!
Help pls...
hi i was looking at a thred that says hd2 has more memory then 448mb it actually has 576mb i looked at mine at it says in the hardware information i do indeed have 576mb but when i go to the 'about' it says 451mb so do i have 576mb if not is it possible
you already have it. the hardware takes 128 for graphics.
look on a stock rom and it would say 448 in hardware and 320 in storage info

you won't use all that ram anyway. its damn near impossible to get the leo to use all the stock ram, let alone the extra.
(dont forget, extra ram doesn't make it run faster. a bigger petrol tank doesn't make a car go faster, so you aren't missing out on anything)
lol ok great thanks supprised htc didnt just give people the extra ram in the stock roms thanks for you help

I think we are using full ram already, just as we were with sd android builds. Just some of the ram is for video and system, so its not user accessible.

mhh not sure about that, because hardware info would say 576mb ram then, like on every other android phone. you will see there full ram also, and not only the space which is reserved for programs
edit:
you dont have access to full ram in winmo also, you see only the space which is accessible for your apps and stuff. but when you look at hardware info it will show you, that your phone has 576mb ram. thats what i mean.
I think there was a thread explaining it somewhere, but I'm pretty sure that we're not getting anymore RAM than we already have.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
I thought some later winmo ROMS unlocked some missing RAM on Euro models, if so this could be done in Android to? - damn our inferior Euro models !!!
hope some brother can hack full ram on HTC eur, my phone show the total of Ram is 412 MB not 576 mb>> sad... if it possible that wonderful!!!
