My K-jam after a hard reset works fine but when i install various programs and try to open them the response is extremely slow, for example when i press the start button it takes 5-7 seconds to open it.By the way all the programs are installed at the storage card.Any help???
have u really closed any other program/application after open it? this may happen if ur kjam's main memory is being used by lot of program. you can use vbar to really close every application u open and it's free.
p/s:i have no association with vbar whatsoever :lol:
hello
i think u install a programe that run at start up an interfer with the registry. check for these programmes. i was having the same problem but when i did my last hard reset i didn't install spb which have a lot of abilities but it slow the magician alot

Open an application, for example, Internet Explorer and then close it.
Next, check out the applications running in memory:
Settings-> System-> Memory-> Running Programs
Internet Explorer is apparently still running in memory! Is this a known bug and if so, is there a work around as I would expect this to affect the performance.
Also note this happened before and after the ROM 1.60 Upgrade.
it's been like that from the first version of windows CE
i suppose that because of slow cpu and mem
and such ms believed that keeping the applications running
would inc the response time of the pda so they would not
seem slugish compared to palm and other pda os's
This is a Windows Mobile 2003 'feature' :roll:
There are programs available to close the program down completely.
I have my personal favourite, by far, and is completely free. I can't remember the name of it and I'm currently updating my ROM, but as soon as that's done, I'll look in ActiveSync and let you know.

Certainly one of the thing's that I've found since the recent XDAII ROM update is that closing apps down via the Tast Manager has caused the OS to crash out with the message 'A unhandled error has occurred in the shell.' type message (has only happened a couple of times). The only way forward from this is a soft reset.

Hi,
How are you trying to exit the programs that this happens to ? It could be that instead of clicking what you think is the close button, you are actually clicking the Today Screen icon ?
As regards Task Managers, the best I have come across and use all the time is PocketNav. Here is a link for it.

This app allows you to see currently running programs and flip between them with ease. You can also close or close all programs from this menu too.
Hope this helps.
Rgds,

WisBar Advance
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/wisbar
Highly recommended, very small memory footprint, very fast and highly customizable. Oh, and FREE. If you get it, make sure you download an XP skin. Don't use the bundled ones
EDIT: Just so you know, it doesn't officially support Phone Edition. To turn the phone on/off via the taskbar, you have to close WisBar to access the icon.

I'm just using the O2 Active Task Manager (the little arrow on the bottom of the screen) that comes by default with the OS (haven't got round yet to installing a decent Task Manager - will check out the suggestions made here!).

WisBar Advance is one of the better ones that I've used but I will not give PocketNav a go, as there is a HUGE problem with WisBar and the XDAII.
Once you recive a call and access a notification (missed call, SMS things like that). You will not be able to recive any calls after that, if you ring your XDAII from another phone it actualy rings on the other phone but the XDA II does not register the call at all (as though no call is even being placed!!!, no missed call, no error messages NOTHING!!!)
I loved WisBar untill I've narrowed the problem down of not reciving calls to uninstalling or exiting WisBar and doing a softreset and never had the problems again...
Most other task managers I've found seem to have problems with the Phone Edition, cannot hide the Phone ID Program, cant close the Phone after it has been opend, phone keeps ringing over and over a gain even though there is not incomming calls... all are a few problems I have found with other Task managers I've tried... I will give that PocketNav a go and see how it works with phone edition...
I have tested most task managers under Phone Edition and my conclusion is that SBP's Pocket Plus is THEone...
It actually let's you see the notification area just as it's meant to be and it let's you exclude applications so they don't close but minimize (perfect for IA_Caller_Id.exe)

Do you know of any freeware ones that are worth while?
hi
anyone have a problem with activating phone pad when writing SMS?
often this happens to me following soft-reset the keyboard pops up by default and changing to phone pad does not work. it kind of only half comes up and is non-functional. sometimes the whole sms application will crash. requires soft-reset and try again until it works.
thought it was a memory shortage, but i have reinstalled apps to storage and now have 28MB free, split into 17MB for programs and 11MB for storage, which should be ok.
maybe a conflict with something i'm running?
Yes, I have the same problem.
There are 2 posts in here about it, but no solution from what I can see. Would love someone to fix it.
I have a feeling it got something to do with Pocket informant. U running it ?
nope - so tick that one off :wink:
additional programs running at startup... lets see:
omega-one battery pack pro
omega-one program bar and other utilities
spb GPRS monitor
microsoft voice command
sbsh pocket weather
think that's about it.
any correlations?
rosco
I have installed all of them, But removed them after.
The only one still installed is voice command
just had the pleasure of reinstalling everything after a required hard reset (curruption on the sd card leading to lots of lock-ups - my fault for getting impatient and disconecting the activesync during an avantgo update!).
anyway, the phone pad was back to perfect functioning until i installed voice command. its now uninstalled again and will stay that way :?
do you have voice command installed to main memory or storage?
i have installed it in storgage. but i have tried both places
I have used pcoket PC devices from the Philip Velo1 and even before that. I have never faced memory loss like with the K-Jam. The device slows down with time but when I check the running programs list I see a full page list. As soon as I close them all the device performs well again.
Is there anyway of automatically clearing memory and closing running programs with the K-Jam (WM5) after say 2 or more programs running?
Hi.
What you need is to read http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29863
and then install PocketPlus 3.0.1 . Problem solved
if you want to go fastter then read
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=30011
and do what it say's .
but like everything in life do yer research before you take a risk .
I did, and the results were great . 200% improvement in performance and useability.
Thanks for the response. By the way I have already removed the Antivirus software.
But how does the PocketPlus help?
By the way I have tried the latest PocketPlus and it still crushed my k-Jam on reset.

Check to make sure you have version 3.0.3 of PocketPlus as my K-JAM crashed every time with 3.0.1. It wasnt until i downloaded 3.0.3 that i was able to boot normally. You could also disable the safe mode feature in Pocket Plus options before you reset which fixes the boot problem with earlier 3.x releases.
EDIT: SPB Software now has a note on the PocketPlus version history informing that the Wizard specific issues with safe mode have been fixed as of v3.0.4.
http://spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/pocketplus/history.html?en
Pocket Plus has a feature where you can change the behaviour of the close button [X] so it can close apps instead of minimise or even popup a menu with more options. Have a search of the forum here, and over at www.modaco.com as there is heaps of info about Pocket Plus and other options for closing / minimising apps (some of them are even free).

Chris
SPB Pocket Plus !!
can you provide me a link where to freely download Pocket Plus 3.0.3 or 3.0.4 ??? i'd appreciate it ...
thanx in advance.
If you're buying PocketPlus just for the task/memory manager, have a look at the many free alternatives, e.g. WisBar Advance, VBar, MagicButton, Pocket Nav, GSPocketMagic etc etc. Several (e.g. MagicButton, GSPocketMagic) allow you to set exception lists so you get to choose what gets automatically closed instead of minimized.
That's the best way with the Wizard, as some apps need to be kept in memory due to the slow loading times from ROM, e.g. Calendar, Contacts and Messaging. For URLs, Google is your friend.
I actually prefer managing what's running in the memory manually. gives me a feeling of control. I usually leave some of the frequent apps running. stuff like calendar, phone, activesync, IE.
it seems my JAMin can not remove some applications like CA antivirus...
also i can not install VBruntime in my JAMin any Idea?
Going to safemode by SPB pocket plus 3.x
In the safemode you can uninstall almost every programs cleanly!!!
cause it doesn't load any plug-in when the windows start.
Although, now I seeking some program that can go to safemode in WM5 without use of pocket plus, but it seem to not have, yet. Because the pocket plus use a lot of memery, I don't like it, but I need it safemode function.
Or anyone have the safemode booting program without pocket plus, please share it hear.
thanx dude it works but my JAMin kills me when reboots, it takes 3 minutes
hola fellas...
I installed Oxios Memory on my Dopod 838 pro(HTC TyTN aka Hermes).. and vola the device started behaving weird!!
1. no more than one app works at a time. ie., no multi-tasking! say i have Mobile Excel open and i try to open file explorer.. darn thing... mobile excel closes automatically!
2. windows media player plays only first 5-6 seconds of the tracks in the list and simply skips to the next... again plays the new track for 5-6 seconds and skips to next...
as soon as i uninstalled it... the weird behaviour is gone!!
if any of the hermes users facing it plz do post. may be we can update the author of the program.
Yes u are right ! Me also experience the same thing. After remove oxios closeapps and hibernate all programs work fine until manually I close it.
Same here, been racking my brain about it :-/
Probably the way Oxios binds to memory?
The only way is only remain oxios hibernate and delete closeapps. Hibernate alone works fine.
Oxios CloseApp work very well for me...
