hi. i have a blue angel and upgraded it to wm6. it has worked great for about a month now. i have installed a lot of apps in it too. now my question is, speed has began to slow down now, like when i open messaging, it takes a long time to open, and im wondering if cleaning the registry hive would do the trick. i tried using some registry cleaners but nothing seems to be fixing the problem. i was wondering if i cleaned the registry hive when i do a hard reset, would the programs already installed have problems too? i dont wanna format the storage coz i dont want to go back to zero again. i think its just a program incorrectly installed or uninstalled doing the problem, but i cant find whats causing it. so im thinking, it could may only be the registry. i dunno. help me please.
you cant do that... by cleaning only the registry hive, soon your installed applications will not work properly, the reason for slow down device might be incompatibility of the apps...
The reason for slow performance on your device is lack of memory available on your storage. Also, please go to PIE and delete your files from options section.
The programs that you have installed on your device also uses the memory therefore it won't be as speedy as it would be when the device was just flash.
i see. actually, i cleared my registry hive once before, when i experienced the lost pasword. i didnt want to do a total hard reset so i just chose no on reformat rom and just the clear registry hive. but that was just a few days after i upgraded to wm6 so there were only a few new apps on my fon, so i wasnt worried of any problems yet. i did install explode's cabs though, and all seemed to work just fine, i just reinstalled them after clearing the registry hive just to be safe. i have lots of apps now, i dont wanna look for them again if i ever do a hard reset. i tried cleaning up the memory last night, and im still monitoring the phone if its still slow. i havent used it much today so i cant say it has improved, i'll get back and post what i see.
the thing is ....
get a 4 gigs or 2 gigs storage card and leave it in there .... install everything on it ... Piece of cake .. PS : you can switch between cards but the apps wont work till you put back the latter ! you can still use like 25 mb/s and the device works fine ..
how can we Increase the storage's space cuz i got like 109 mb/s for program and i don use THAT much .... i got only 42.95 mb/s as storage .. i miss that WM2003 se for that only cuz i can adjust the memory the way i want !
ok. I hav a 512mb sd card, im planning to buy one with laer capacity. I never realy remove the memory card.
now I tried freeing up the phone memory as u guys suggested, now I hav storage: 23mb and program: 59mb free:is that ok? or is it realy jst my phone? its stil slow even aftr I freed up some memory.
now my nxt plan is to dump my current rom onto a memory card and put them back after hard reset. wud that be ok?
update: ok, so i removed all installed apps, and did a hard reset to clean out just the registry hive. my BA is still slow. i dont know how this happened. it was just a month ago when i got this, it was perfectly ok, it was faster after i upgraded to wm6. this problem started just last week.

hi everyone, i would like to know why the hell everytime i insert my SD card i lose about... 10MB of RAM? and when i remove it, they come back, this is really annoying, and no i don't have anything running @ startup from the storage card.
Thanks in advance everyone
I too have been experiencing a memory leak but didn't know whats causing it. Now that you mentioned this, i pulled out my Mini Sd and Ram to 15mb free, i plug it back in now there is 5.7mb free. I just hard reset this morning
What rom are you using? I'm on Summiter's customized 2.17 w/a2dp
and the apps installed on device mem is as follows:
Opera Browser
SPB Pocket +
Resco Explorer V5.40
Skype
Micro. Voice Command
and a bunch of reg edits.
Now i just got some error with "relprog.exe" and i sent the error report and now its down to 4.9MB free..
---------update-----------
I just soft reset and when it turned on it reported 10mb free, took out mini sd and now its at 18 free....
Nothing strange about that. It simply memory reserved for running the SD. card data, working space etc. It's the same thing on your PC. Though you might not notice it since you probably have about 2GB of RAM like me
like someone said i guess we are still beta testing this windblows mobile 5, and alabij, that makes sense but since i have a nokia 6630 too which is on a symbian platform and that does not happen, i really thought this was very strange
we are beta testing(and paying 500bucks)
for wm5
this things gonna happen
double post...
the problem is i don't remember this happening on my Jam(magician) sp3, sp3i or sp5... started recently(within this month) on my kjam(wizard) and i don't think its normal for a storage card to take 10mb of ram to be accessible. My device is basicly crippled with this BS! i can't run anything with 4mb of ram. I think i'm gonna hard reset next week and run my device barebone(nothing installed) and see if it does it just to prove taht 10mb ram is not needed to read a miniSD card.
I've had a lot of headaches over wm devices but this is by far the worst because for every other problem there is a solution. there may be a solution for this, but so far no ones reported one yet.
yes, no way should it take that much to run a memory card. i just tested mine and it takes less than a third of a megabyte. not sure if this helps, but i had a bad card which often brought my mda to its knees trying to cope with it and all its bad sectors. maybe try formating it or trying another.
so is it really just devilboy1488 and I that are experiencing this?

mine did not it uses 4/5 mb.
cinguler 2.2?
where did you get the Cingular Official AKU 2.2 ROM? I have the Cingular 1.8.11.1 right now, I got my phone off of ebay and it was unlocked. If I install the official Cingular ROM will it relock the phone?
What is a normal memory? I was running close to 20, before but I had to hard reset, and now I am down to 14-15. Is that OK? I am using the 2.17 rom, havent updated to the latest yet. It is so much hassle, to keep upgrading.
I'm running the 2.21 ROM and use a 512Mb miniSD. When I eject it my program RAM drops from 17.74Mb to 17.50Mb. It is consistant with every eject and insert. The storage RAM doesn't change at all.
i think i found the problem. Last night i reflashed my device with the official imate rom and after installing all my regular apps and all the reg edits, i was back to square one. From 21mb free to around 10mb after i insterted my memory card. so i undid a few reg edits such as increase font cache, glyph cache, and the 2 enhanced perfomance reg edits which increase storage manager cache sizes. So basicly all the cache increase reg edits were causing this, or so i noticed from my little test. Now i've got 21.95 free without card and 19.65 free with the card in which is a lot better than before
i mean i hard reset it the other day because i just wanted to start over,
so yesterday, I used internet explorer as usual, and I look at the device storage, and it said 11.1, i was like how come, then a couple hours left it said 3MB left!!
mind you i didnt install any thing onto the device itself
i was wondering what to do... i only installed like 3 programs and its all to the storage card.but the storage on the phone itself is being eaten up and causing it to move sluggish....
anytips????
you seem to have answered this yourself it the internet files they are taking up the space clear them up from within pie options or move them to teh sd card

You definitely need to tweak it a bit first .... Just as eddietmansaid ... You I.E. files need to be set to save on the sd card ... Here is a thread that should more than help you set things up......

Hello all,
I experience the following problem with my Tytn (gory details about versions and so avail upon request): With age the device got slower and slower to the point that now e.g. ActiveSync times out if the device was not soft-reseted for a long time.
Still, even after a soft-reset the device feels sluggish and unresponsive -- compared to what it used to be.
Granted, it has a boatload of software installed but the "slowness" got worse w/o adding new softw.
IIRC from the old PPC days the old WinCE used to suffer heavily from memory leaks, and the only way to recover from that was to hard-reset the device.
My question is:
- Did anyone else have this experience ? Is it a known problem ?
- Is it actually a appl problem and not WM5 related ?
- Does a hard-reset and restoring from backups solve the problem ? Or do I neeed to hard-reset and install the software all over again from scratch ?
TIA,
Florian
P.S. Sorry I don't have some "hard facts" (mem usage/whatnot), so far it is just an empirical observation
When I originally got my device I tried installing a load of software and this seemed to eventually break the device. It does start to perform slower the more you mess with it. I upgraded the firmware and was careful about what I installed and the device works great now.
If you performed a hard reset and re-installed your applications, you would notice an increase in speed. I recommend the latest firmware also.
i have just replied to similar comments that may help here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291882
rather than retyping. the bare device works really really really good, so it may relate to your apps. install standard released apps, with care, and do backups regularly to restore if necessary.
also, i have found in the past that large volumes of contacts and large amounts of diary syncs does slow all devices down. one poster said he had over 1000 contacts and wanted to know why phone calls were slow to start (caller id and searching duh...)
so watch what you install, and only install what you really need
install anything that is needed on bootup into memory
hide icons point to your sd card
dont have sd card readers on the today screen
follow the registry hacks and use them
dont install today screen stuff to sd card
accept that the sd card may be disabled or fail on occasion, thus you dont want your device functionality tied to it otherwise card fails, device fails
manage your synchronisation of data
there is soooo much more. make sure you are on the latest released rom for your device. ensure your sd card does have fast read and write ability...
read wiki, do some research. all else fails, HARD RESET and see if it runs at normal or good speed. then test each and use each app carefully, using a backup app to restore as you need to.
this is m$, and i equate wm5 to windows 95, we are a long way from xp status, so play nice, be gentle, and manage the apps you install, they way you install them, and the data u need.
ok heres the deal. Lately the memory on my wing has been draining DRASTICALLY!! I always had the memory issue but now as soon as the phone starts up i woudl have like 16mb free ( changed the pagepool to 6mb.) then it would go down to 3.5 in like 10 seconds. Anyone know why it would be doing this. Is there a solution. I am still using the factory tmobile rom.
Right after soft-reset, the memory should get down for a while and then come back to normal. I can see Active Sync running at that time and I used to close it.. Does the same happen there?
yah activesync is running also but even after i close it and the phone sits for the whole day it will still be at 3.4/5 when activesync is running it drops to 2.8
My Touch became progressively slow to the point where it hardley runs and storage mem is down to .04MB for some reason. Without installing anyting or making any huge changes to the phone what sort of things can cause it to suddenly become slow? I'm hoping there is a quick fix so I don't have to perform a hardboot. I noticed that the mxip_notify file is about 4.5MB but maybe this is normal. Here is what I am also noticing:
- mxip_notify file 4.5MB
- clock on HTC home screen doesn't change
- softboot does not improve performance
- low memory warning message constantly pops up informing me that I need
to free some memory.
This is the original ROM.
Thanks in advance.
In my experience is that you need to do a hard reset, I know its a hastle, but it helps speed it up loads.
my touch used to run out of memory as well, then i connected it to my pc, and browsed to computer\htc touch\application data\info feed\cache and cleared all the data that was there, it freed about 6 MB, also cleared the feeds folder, and freed another 2 MBs, the performance seems to have improved and i no longer get the out of memory error. i dont know if this is the culprit in ur case, but it worked for me, so u can give that a try . or try opening each and every folder in ur Touch through windows and see what files are taking lots of space. also i recently installed Home Screen ++ with which OCd my processor to 266MHz and in certain apps the performence boost is amazing. u can try that as well.
I was really hoping I would not have to hard reset my Touch since installing applications can be a pain and I have a lot of SMSs I would not like to loose. I have seen applications out there that back up SMSs and allow you to restore the SMSs back on the phone but I am not confident it will work.
And while hard resetting will solve the problem, it does not ultimately answer why my Touch suddenly ran out of space.
I'm wondering what the size of most user's mxip_notify file is.
