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.....

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.

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 want to thanks U for the solutions about call rings.
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?
Bye

Uk Ameo Only!

I have looked through the threads and never found the answers to these very simple questions. Only answer them if you have a UK Ameo please. I have seen people answer them, posted links to prove it only for the damn thing to be in German. So here we go:
1. Does the T-mobile UK only Ameo GPS work or is it disabled?
2. Will it fit into a standard size pair of trousers pocket.
If the answer to both of these is YES, I will order one now, otherwise it's the Glofish X800 for me.
Thanks

The answers to both of your questions is yes.

well, the first question is 100% yes.
but i am not sure about the second one, personally, i won't put it in my standard trousers, it's going to be very very uncomfortable.
BTW, if you actually did went through the thread, you should find the answer for first question already, 2 UK Ameo owner has already confirm the GPS work

I hereby confirm too that the GPS works... Why wouldnt it... duh!

Thanks guys, I really appreciate the responses. It's just that I DID see that UK said GPS was active but link to pictures showed a German Ameo LOL
I'll order the bad boy right now.
Thanks once again. Appreciate it.

I'm am absolutely not hostile against you. In my opinion it is just not comfortable to read it. Maybe I'm the only one ??
And I was trying to help, that's why i asked you about flashing a second time ??!

Finally!

It took a while but it's finally here. The Juno/Shadow forum. Just wanted to be the first to post here.
Thanks XDA.

THANKS!
Thanks mods for enduring all of us and finally giving us a home on XDA!
EDIT: Mods, can you move all of our juno/shadow posts out of the smartphone general section?

I love this phone!! Glad to have another resource for hacks and themes.

excellent

This is great. Now we no longer have to search for posts all over the general forum.
I was about to get mad when i saw the new diamand forum and i thought we were still boned.. but then i saw juno and was happy again.

Yeah, a felt same way. This is great to see Juno forum.

It's all good.
BTW: Got the Boxwave Extended battery for the Shadow-MUCH better battery life.

From what Ive read, The diamond aka T mobile mda compact IV will be realesed to the US in the 2nd half of 08
The shadow is a non touchscreen. It would be retarded for the shadow 2 to be touchscreen.

Yes, but from what I hear, the diamond aka T-Mobile MDA Compact IV will be released on Sprint w/a CDMA version, and not on any GSM carriers. That being said, I did see a photo of the Shadow II floating around hear and on egadnet. They look similar, but not the same...

I would be nice to move over the old posts from the general smartphone session.

iphone rom

Hi, i have a XDA Orbit 2 and was wondering what is the best iphone skin or infact the best skin for it. I have windows mobile 6 installed.
Any help would be great as i am a little new to this
thanks

Hi humbug68 and welcome to the forum.
Try doing a search of the forums looking for 'iphone'.
You probably should also look through the wiki to make sure you know what you're doing or else your nice new Orbit2 could end up an expensive paper weight.
There's so much great information in these forums - you just need to take the time to read through. There's plenty of folk who will flame you for asking 'noob' questions as well, so a bit of research will also keep you safe from that.
Good luck!

here is a couple to get you started, but as cr1960 says you are better to start searching this stuff yourself. once you find the skin you want, if you run into an issue post the question into the thread for that skin release.
