Universal..very slow..to much slow..incredibly slow

Hi all, I bougth my MDA Pro 2 week ago..I'm very disappointed becouse the PDA is very slow..It's impossible to use it for anything.
After a soft reset it's necessary to wait a lot of time to use it..when it goes in Stby wake up is very slow.
Programs run very slowly.
When I receive a call I hear the voice after 4-5 seconds.
What's happen? Is an hardware problem or only WM2005?
To see photo what program (light) can I use? PzP it's another disaster, often phone don't vibrate, or ring tone change by itself.
I'm thinking to sell my MDA PRO and come back on the old MDA 2.
I've read other posts but I want to write my issues too.
bye all..

thats nice

Not so much

@klaus, many members here think if there is a probelm with the Universal then the problem is created by the user or their network providers. For many members the Universal is fault free and if it does have a fault you should accept it. Strange world we live in where consumers seem to be happy to be sold shoddy goods by the large companies like M$ and HTC.

My Jasjar use to be slow, but with the new rom(beta), is working great.
About the 4-5 seconds on the ring, i had that problem, but i put my mp3ring tone on the windows/rings and solved my problem.
Im using the new rom for 3days(almost) and is going great. I have nothing to lose by tring it!

Ok I'll try to upgrade the rom..I hope will be better than now..
In this moment the only use possible with this piece of iron is like personal defense gun!!!

Hum ... a i big brick
I think u will like it!
Dont forgett the usaul things to upgrade like using MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe
removing sim and memory card, etc.
And u will have no problems

Firstly can I just express my HUGE dissapointment on the current standards of the forum, when a simple request for help is met with a bunch of unhelpfull trolling posts. For shame.
Obviously everyone with an MDA Pro is not having the same experience or else they would all be returned.
@Klaus
Can you tell us what ROM you have installed, what other software you have installed, and the usual biggest culprit, what is displayed on the today screen.
If the answer to all the above is nothing, then can you take it back and try a replacement.

Hum... maybe u are right! It was stupid off me trying to give one idea. It worked for me. Using today plug-ins like pocket plus.

VIPER2004 No comment I made was directed at you.
you were clearly the only other person who replied to this thread and made any attempt at resolving the OP's question.

Sorry! I didnt understand it very well. Maybe my ruff English.
But you have a point, to many plug-ins may cause it to go slow; opening the start, turning to laptop mode. But a thing i cant tell u, this is the fastest rom ill ever tested. Better the o2,qtek,mda (latest this by www.buzzdev.net)
Sorry again for the missunderstanding

Guys,
As unhelpfully disorganised as the forum is, there are already several threads on this specific issue. If there's an issue raised here not already covered there, then a new thread is warranted. If not, then's it's better to localise issues and threads in existing threads.
A couple of very good places to start:

That's what the search button is there for, right VJ?
For you guys who dont understand the above statement, IT'S A JOKE.... Pls. don't bombard me with feelings of being insulted..... It seems everyone who mentions to use the search button does..... But it has helped me a lot.... Well, I agree that the Universal was almost always VERY SLOW out of the box specially with so much plug-ins.
I'm one of those who just likes to keep on installing so many apps but never using any of them really.
Anyway, there are a lot of possibilities and most of the problems are caused by 3rd party software that aren't designed specifically for WM5 from the goround up. Also, it took me more than a month to actually speed up the device...
I had a h6340 before and that was SLOWWWWWWWWWWWW.....

That's what the search button is there for, right VJ?

I was trying to point that out, "politely" The other threads on this issue are very useful, and I'll just mirror what I've said on every other thread on this issue. Don't install the extended rom dialler - it's a world of pain for no good reason, other then cosmetic (and video calls!)

@gajet
I think you reference to "troll" was aimed at me. Hopefully people who are frequent visitors know i have tried to help a lot of members and I have heled UK members get the Exec for a lower cost. I personally have helped a friend in the US get a Exec as cheap a possible as they are not available. My response was to simon_darly's unhelpful initial response to Klaus.
Klaus - sorry for this.

this fourm is free.
You dont get nothing for free. If you eventually get some help then be thankful, if you dont, go pay for some help else where.
JAmes

my comment was due to the statement
Universal..very slow..to much slow..incredibly slow
well duuuhh
if anybody tried searching the forum even once on the word slow on the universal forum, they would have found hundreds of posts on this same topic, and simply taking the time to have a read through what has beeing going on and what has been resolved would have greatly assisted the process.
I simply get sick of helping those people that dont even take any time to help themselves at all. In fact I get 214 of them, of which I have contributed to 14 of them.
THEN.... the same statement again. Which on reading of it by the way was simply a statement, and was not a question, nor a request for assistance.
"I've read other posts but I want to write my issues too"
Hence my comment "thats nice"
Why oh why did you need to open up an entirely new forum discussion if you had taken to read the others, you could simply have posted directly into any one of the 214 that raised it rather than open yet another one.

I did it and it's better.
I upgrade Radio Rom in 1.9 and the speed in general has improved.
Signal GSM and UMTS goes better..Roaming is faster and PDA in general is faster..
Maybe was radio stack the Universal problem?

WM6 Rom Download from HTC site

I know that you can get the HTC download original of the new WM6 for the Athena/Ameo/Advantage. I tried to but it keeps asking me for my IEMI number. I put it in and it saids go to your network provider!! The [email protected]@ts at T-Mobile are not going to do this upgrade as they feel the money provided would be for better use on new projects. I want to get the new version but not a made up one even though i have tried the ones on here and they work very well. But i would like a copy of the all singing all dancing version if someone has this???
Death to T-Mobile!!!!!!!!
pardon me!

Ooh err Missus!
The problem with search is that you have to be quite precise to get the results. I did actually use the search facility, but can you describe to me exactly what to search for in this case?
And what exactly do you mean when you say "All your questions are answered many times before?"
Seems to me like you should stay off help forums if you don't want to give help.

:s I had all the same questions, took some time to read and voila there were my answers... Lazy people like you clutter up forums like this so it's harder to find posts with "real" content...
And yes I want to give help to anyone but not if the answers are even mentioned in sticky posts..
Another thing, if you have problems to find answers to such simple questions why are you even going to flash your device?? What if it goes wrong?
(I don't want to bash you or anything like that, but in my opinion there are to many people posting questions without RTFF)

pls help

Hi, as i am new here, can someone please show me the correct link for HTC universal CID unlock way, and its latest version?
Also, are there any good window mobile 6 for HTC universal that allowed video call released?

I understand you expect everyone new to read everything available on the subject before asking for help on some stuff that's been talked about very much,but please understand how hard it is for newcomers.I bought my UNI 7 days ago and i'm in the same situation,but i read a lot every day,i wanted to learn how to safely flash it to 6.1.The more i read the more i am scared and understand less and less.There are so much names and terms and stuff which makes us dizzy.I posted once for help,i got instructions but was not enough.I decided not to flash,i'm not capable.But i read still everything on that subject.Even though i'm an advanced pc user i have difficulty to get this new stuff straight.So i understand that sometimes someone just got to simply ask. Thanx for understanding

It's all in the wiki. You don't need to read everything. Just what's relevant to you at that particular moment in time. Then when you want to do something else then read up about that.
Oh and WM6 on the uni does NOT support videocall.
Off you go and enjoy.

Radical suggestion - let's restart this forum?

HD has been around for many months now and the forum seems to be full of duplicate messages and requests.
How about we delete it all and start again?

Not really a practical way of doing this as the whole process would just repeat itself.
A few ways of doing this:
1. Leave it as it is
2. Have more categories so questions on specific topics are in specific folders i.e. all game threads in one folder, all threads on battery in other and so on.....but this would create dozens of folders, so again not practical.
3. Have a new setup so noobs aren't actually able to post questions unless they have already searched the forum.....but again, this also isn't practical
4. Have a section for noobs where all basic questions are asked and then another section for other members....but again, I'm not sure this would work either as a person may be posting their first thread but be an experienced user.
Personally, I would just leave it as it is, and possibly just delete a few threads which are useless to clear the waste

Baby and bathwater spring unbidden to mind!

sorry to say.....

Totally agree, thats why after all my suggestions I said it wouldn't work so just leave it as it is!!

while i agreee thre are lot of multiple threads i still beleive leaving them up is the besy way to help as user SHould search theyll get more options
ive just got this toy. but ive owned a godd few winmo phones before hand so im no noob but we alll have issues

Something that would help i think is better use of the wiki. Each cook having a page, each rom having its own page. each app having its own page. the discussion belongs in forum but ROMs should have their own page then theres 1 location for update info, details ect.

Mabe start the cleaning process by banning all the "nOOb" bashers. That would cut down on a lot of the redundency around here.

Or integrate an automatic search screen (maybe a popup to act as a temporary block) for:
a) anyone starting a new thread with
b) less than 40 or 50 posts history.
Then continue VIGILANTLY marking and reporting useless/repetitive threads.

All we need is a few MOD's to have a look at this thread and hopefully some ideas will get implemented.......obviously not all

I will vote for changing the forum first page. Giving that the number of devices is increasing, it is getting harder to find your phone through all of them. Maybe it is possible to categories it like saying depending on the model year/release date or specificationsod the device. That would be much more interesting than scrolling the whole page waiting to find a specific one.

ya.. ya... more option is good... may be almost the same problem but different solution...

Summarize
Major issue is looooong threads - which just go on and on. In the case of an answer to a particular problem - as soon as someone has a definitive answer the thread needs to be marked as Solved and the answer put in a reserved slot on the first page. It can me a nightmare going through a dozen solutions to fix a problem - and with people quoting bit's all the time there's probably 50% of the info duplicated.
Still
Best forum going

All threads should be done this way, i.e. once a solution to a query or bug is solved it should be posted at start of thread!!

But the thing is Fallen, I've been trolling these forums for years, ever since I got my universal roughly 3/4 years ago. The majority of posts I have made really has been to help other people.
I am not a noob but have not made many posts, I am a competent programmer and can solve problems without having to post... Usually.
It would be really annoying if the few times I did need to post for help, or to share information, I would have to answer to a stupid popup asking me whether I have searched or not!
However, I do agree there is a severe lack in understanding the search facility on these forums, I think if a NOOB filter were to be placed it should go on join date.
P.S My join date was before Aug 07 I just forgot my email and password

Android Problems Thread

Mods please close this If you think I am wrong.
Firstly there are a lot of guys here asking about the same problems with android which I dont think are being noticed because the messages are either deleted or thread closed so no one see's.
I am not the only one with these problems with android but here are the 2 main ones that keep popping up and mods keep knocking us back down telling us to post in the relevent thread yet these problems are not for a relevent thread.
1. With certain Android Roms users are experiencing when answering and making calls the phonecall will be disconnected due to a problem with the proximity sensor.
2. With the latest Zimage from Cotulla certain users are getting the SOD (screen of death) when the phone goes into standby mode. Cotulla has mentioned this problem is fixed yet we cant find this fix anywhere and he has released the GPS working fix yet no SOD fix?
Hope I dont come off too strong its just when we as in the members try and get our opinion across or ask for help, we are shot down instantly by Moderators who frankly I know more Info than them and they should not close threads on guessing what our problem is.
Thanks, and If anyone thinks I should be a part of the staff Team Just gimme a shout, and ill keep things in order!

Oh waste of thread so you have the answers for us somewhere else then do you? Please share!

have you posted the disconnect problem in the respective rom. I personally have never had it.
secondly if you are getting the green screen of death with the 25th zimage you should revert back to the 23. That image is considered to be the most stable for those who have sharp panels which is what is causing the Gsod.
my two cents
From what I have seen, said mods are only closing threads that their questions have been answered in the sticky information. Its those questions that had made it fustrating for the mods the dev's and the general xda community. I literally see the same questions over and over and these have been answered.

Well not all Android Builds are there same so you are going to have different results, Darkstones proximity sensor for calls works perfect, GPS has been fixed and working except the releases are all home made so far not official, the latest zimage is random for some people, personally works perfect for me but on another hd2 i have available the same build the image doesn't work, so who knows,
and as far as creating threads for problems and questions and answers its a waste of time because they get ignore and dropped down the pages like the thread i made yesterday to help out but nobody uses it or adds any extra info for it, cause it is mainly new people come here for android and they cant be arsed to search for anything and think everything works perfect straight away
@bazgee my point is there is many threads open and closed because you new people just wont search anything

Dude, all these questions have been answered like a 1000 times... Use search! you'll find a solution / answer!
I'm a noob at this.... really, and i had my fair share of hick-ups.. I've researched and read a lot for two days before attempting to install.. This way i knew what my problem would or would not have... I have not asked any questions yet regarding Android errors, please read and research dude... You'll find it!
If not, send me a pvt message and i will search it for you! The mods dont like it if you open these kinds of threads.. Unless you absolutly sure your the only one with this problem..
No offense, just making a point..

Were is the text selection method of Desire in Froyo?
Friends help me if possible, In Desire Build V5 .... to select a portion of text, we have a selection method like iphone, that alowed to stretch and shrink, was better than iphone, because we can send it to google tradutor or even to twitter or email.
Now, in Froyo this method of selection dont work...we have one like WM....and is wast we just can copy!!
For exemple:
How did you select a portion of text to edit bold, italic or underline??
I give my centims to, who can, make the a phrase like mine up with Froyo Darkstone V1 in HD2
Is any option off? or is it a app, which?
if not, it's possible to port the method selection of Desire in Froyo.
thanks

So Im guessing my second question still cannot be answered. Cotulla has said the SOD has been fixed yet where is this fix? GO ON search and then try and call me a noob.
I know for a fine fact there will be loads of users reading this right now agreeing with me and glad that I posted this.

Dude, i'm not calling you a noob, and i'm not dissin you in anyway,
The SOD, came with the latest Zimage from the 25th, dont use this one.. Get the ZImage from the 23rd NO SPEEDY!
If your problem still persists, i suggest you:
- Remove SD and SIM card
- Hard Reset
- Task 29 it
- Put a compatible radio on it, (See my signature for a example)
- Put a decent winrom on it, like Chuckys, Miri or Energy
- Hard reset it again
- Insert Sim and SD card
- Format SD CARD (uncheck quick format)
- Put an Android built on it, with Zimage Nospeedy from the 23rd
- perhaps a Android Loader...
Do this, might take you 30 min overall... and you'll be home free...
Now i've explained it again.. hope this helps and hope you'll research more in the future..
Alright bro, Good luck

maybe It hasnt been released. I know for sure the first few post says the 23rd is the most reliable version. I personally check his uploads daily. I havent seen it.

Zimage of the 25th was released untill everyone started to complain, then Cotulla removed the link...

To the OP.
I agree, some things need to be searched first, and your orig questions have been answered, I also to some extent agree with the you though, things get locked/deleted MUCH to soon.
In my case I searched for 2 days, found nothing, then posted a thread for thoughts and to help the devs of that Img/Kernal out with some info. I doubt they ever saw it because it was locked.
My issues are with the Camera (black screen only) and no Audio in phone calls. (yet i could get audio in EVERYTHING else)And yes, CLRCAD, etc, I know...
I was told to post in the relevent thread, but in my case, there wasn't one. So meh, it happens. I only thought I should have at least had a chance to respond but w/e.
