Yes it only has 1gb available but I have all the apps from my N1 (which was running out of space) installed and I still have .94gb left. There is plenty of room for apps.

Internal memory and sd use

I was just wondering what the internal 16gb memory is used for. I haven't changed any storage settings yet, but it seems like most of my 2gb sd is used up (probably from apps), while the internal storage is mostly unused.
Also, my wife's vibrant shows 223mb free space (ram I'm guessing) while mine shows around 140, with less apps installed and no programs running according to atk. What could be making the difference?
Thanks!

Your apps have 2GB of space on the 16GB of internal. The rest is for pictures and such. Some apps will store their cache there as well. The external would be for like movies and music, at least that's what i use mine for.

Ram

Vi. Just got my dhd today, happy with it so far!
Downloaded Android system manager and checked the RAM usage, it says total RAM 623 mb! Is the phone using some hidden RAM which isn't shown here. Or does my phone have little RAM?

this is what enticed me to this phone, 768 MB OF RAM BABY!!!
it tales into account system resources, and with all of that, and androids running (around 100 -150) MB of Ram
I should think, if it runs anything like WM 6.x, it saves a portion of the RAM for the video memory.
I think some RAM is used for baseband processing. My Hero has 288MB but somewhat less than that is available for applications.
Some of the RAM is being used by the Android OS... its normal.

imo the missing section of ram, is probably reserved for the gpu in a similar fashion as shared video memory in cheap laptops

Welcome to android freedom. Once you root you have complete control. 5 years from now, the desire hd will still be chugging along. Just like the g1 is still going now. Enjoy and welcome again.
Ps. I'm still using my g1 all the time and it's froyo'd up to the eyeballs.

Available Ram

I downloaded The app ELIXIR to use for system information read outs and its stating that my mytouch4g on has 628MB of ram... arent these phones suppose to have 768MB of ram?
am i missing something here?
Some of the ram is reserved for the gpu, radio, etc. There's 640 or so leftover for apps.

Ohhh ok gotcha, I just wasnt sure cause this is my 2nd my touch and from the system app my first my touch had a ton more available memory left over from everything the system ran (though I never ran elixir in the other phone) and this one has significantly less left over ram even at boot from a restart
does your mytouch say the same thing?

If you want to see how much space for apps, etc, go to settings, sd& phone storage, look at internal storage. You should have around 1.1GB after a reset.

I've never tried this elixer app but if I do "free" from the command line it says I have 642080k of total memory. This is about 628MB so I'd say we are showing the same thing.

I removed pretty much all the xda and I have 179 mb left so no

On a fresh reflash, and removing everything that's removable gives you about 230mb free before you can start installing your own apps.
Check out my post here.
Oh...that is bad. My phone left 30MB it keeps telling me that l have low memory. Any idea how to move all apps to SD? I can only move some.

What's the ROM size?

From the specs, it says 4GB ROM + 768MB RAM. But why am I getting 2G ROM + 600 RAM instead? I don't have a bad emmc. I bought mine a year and a half ago and this has always been a question I would like to see an answer.
I have 621MB RAM which is about standard on this device. That's just the way it works out. Ever checked the actual storage of a flash drive compared to what it says on the package?
Also, it's good to verify specs on multiple sites.

Thanks. If I remember it correctly, the tmo website said it has 4GB ROM. And I also checked the gsmarena and it says it has 4GB too. However I've got 1.13GB for the app partition and about 800 for cache and system. That adds to 2GB total which is half of the stated ROM size. It's not a big deal but I would like to figure it out weather it actually only has 2GB or it's hidden.
There are several partitions for boot, recovery, bootloader, etc. Perhaps when all are added together they come close to 4gb?

Unfortunately no. I used storage analyser and disc usage apps to check my partitions and I added them up. It's close to 2GB.

I just ran Storage Analyzer. It's not accessing all the partitions.
