Only had my Exec for 2 days and so far I have got to say I am not inpressed.
All applications open up so slowly I cant beleive that there is a 520mhz processor in this thing.
You open up an application say "media player" and when your finished you click OK in the corner, You think the program has closed but it hasn't It is still running in the background. Why don't apps close properly?
I have just installed a classic game 'PacMan' Now this is so small you would think the Exec would handle something like Pacman. NOPE. It is just too slow It takes 5 - 10 seconds just to eat one of the yellow dots.
My gripe with this is that it is just too Slow, Has anyone else experienced any problems with slowness.
I have 14 days in which to return it should I not be totally happy and I can honestly say I do not think I will need a week,
Did you try to go to:
Start> Settings> System > Memory > Running Programs
To kill the apps properly, press stop. Then, try to run the game again.
Yes that is how I know that programs are still running even when you think you have closed them. It annoys me that they do not close properly.
Start > Programs > Pocket Excel. Now there is no exit or close function you just have to click ok in top corner, Then you have to go to Start> Settings> System > Memory > Running Programs just to end the program.
You should not have to keep doing this and is only down to poor programming.
I have tried Pacman with nothing running at all and is still slow.
I click on Start and there is even a half seconf pause before the menu appears, navigation is just so sluggish.
If it is only me who thinks this then I possibly have a faulty exec.
Hm.. may I get the link to install pacman on my MDA Pro? If the pacman is still slow, I think it might have been due to the application itself..

Agreed, I think Tomtom 5.0 has the same issue as well..
I have installed some nice apps from here and they have some cool classic games.

I found the exec to be very slow, so unistall most of the o2 crap, the speed improve alot
What did you uninstall j11333?
Which O2 crap are you talking about?

This is by design - all pocket pc apps works this way. It's called smart minimize. When your device starts to run low on memory the apps you used longest ago will be fully closed automatically.
There's a number of different utilities out there that change the default behaviour of the "X" button to actually close rather than smart-minimize. Have a look here in the utilities section on FreewarePPC:

I did the installation, and I can tell you, even though I ran on MDA Pro with no other apps on the background, it is still lagging. Like *really* lagging (I can understand your pain now, *pats*).
FYI, my MDA Pro has been flashed with Jasjar's rom. So, might have been a universal issue (pun intended ).

You should see a big differance if you turn off error reporting: Start - Settings - System - Error Reporting - Disable Error Reporting
I have tried to play a movie on my Exec via WindowsMediaPlayer and its slow and jerking...
Tried installing TCPMP as another player, but still seems to have the same performance issues.
I have disabled "error reporting" & "Incoming Beams" as mentioned in previous threads....
Not sure its helped at all.
I`m also confussed about the poor performance on such a high spec machine.....
It could be that the encoder you use on the PC to convert the files is actually converting them badly, so it may not be a playback issue at all.
I recommend you try NVIDIA PureVideo: http://www.nvidia.com/object/dvd_decoder.html
Jdee246 Thanks for the advice,
I have disabled "error reporting" and have noticed a difference.
I have also downloaded small menu that hellps you close all apps with one tap of the screen. http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/smallmenu.shtml
I have also hard reset the exec 3 times and have tried the Advanced and basic setups but the speed is still not up to what it should be compaired to other pda's
Many thanks CJSnet...
Very good point...
But still feel that the Exec should perform so much better than this..
It has the fastest CPU and Memory than any other modile
I was trying to point out that it may be nothing to do with the Exec performance, if the encoded file is encoded with pauses and lost frames.
However generally we all agree the Universal's performance is terribly poor, and there is another thread where you can see that ROMs are coming out to fix this.

Thanks but I was hoping for one that doesn't install lots of other features I don't want and that take up resources.
Any other there that work, and ONLY provide a 'real task close' function to the existing looking button?
[Solution] MUST-HAVE For X2 Users! Speed Tweaks & How to Disable "Slideview" & Panels
DISCLAIMER: This works for me 100%. I have noticed 200% - 300% longer lasting battery life, AND at least 3 - 4 times more responsiveness throughout the whole phone, you can even benchmark the difference between stock X2 and an X2 run with my solution. I will not be held responsible for any damage to your phone!
I've read a lot, and done a lot on my X2 recently. From what I tested, black screen of death (when in standby mode) = DONT USE AUTO BACKLIGHT! Try this & see what happens.
Now, my X2 barely freezes or gets any lag at all, in fact, it is SMOOTH. Yes, you heard it, SMOOTH (even when scrolling through start menu).
Using the X2 as of now is a nightmare, but I've come up with a solution until MR2 comes out. And, lets hope MR2 really is for the best.
This solution is based on the standard WM today home screen. I haven't come across ANY problems at all.
One day, I came up with an idea. If I dont use tilewave, why do I have to keep it? Considering growing panel, pixel city panels caused lag to the phone, I decided to delete tilewave altogether and now my phone is significantly faster!
Standard WM today screen I think, is in fact I think its the best:
Less battery drainage, simple, fast, efficient, no black screen of deaths.
This solution works BEST if you follow ALL STEPS BELOW:
1) Uninstall Growing Panel, Pixel City (Day & Night) | (Start -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs)
2) Uninstall all SPB shell and software. (Start -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs)
3) Start -> Settings -> Today -> Tick Date & Messaging (Or any other plug-in of your choice, less the better)
4) Delete tilewave panel in (File Explorer -> Program Files -> Panels)
5) Delete the other panels of your choice, I deleted everything except google panel (In case today panel for some reason crashes, I still got google panel to work with) | (File Explorer -> Program Files -> Panels)
6) SKtools (Search SKtools on XDA forums search function) -> Tweak -> Optimise -> Tick Font cache size and TCP window size -> Action -> Performance -> Optimise -> Soft reset
7) Advanced configuration tool (Search in XDA forums for the program / google it) -> Performances ->
ENABLED
File system cache: 8MB
File system cache size: 16384 sectors
Glyph cache: 32kb
8) SKtools -> Category -> Clean up -> Go to EACH and EVERY option to delete bad registries, temp cache folders, bad uninstall info, etc. MAKE SURE clean up EACH option in clean-up. INCLUDING registry optimiser, do it!
9) To resolve the messaging lag: Search "SMS lag fix" in XDA forums to get rid of lag.
10) Disable Slideview: Delete the string "launch199" from HKLM\init (Use TotalCommander program, credits to bazsikar & jerpelea for this one!)
11) Disable Panel Manager (OPTIONAL): Delete ALL panels except MS_Today panel in programfiles\panels to disable panelmanager.exe
12) Disable XKeyhandler: SKtools-> Services-> Delete xkeyhandler. Step 2: Totalcommander-> HKLM -> init -> Delete Launch65
13) DONE! Soft-reset one last time, and FEEL the difference =)
This solution covers, as far as I know, the general basic operations and responsiveness of the entire windows mobile system for the X2 and/or other WM devices. I don't suffer any MR1 upgrade issues with this solution other than the "Storage card disappearing" issue, which everyone is having a problem with as well.
Disabling slideview is good option for those who think its totally useless (like me) and just causes the system to crash, and hogs A LOT of CPU resources and thus, lags the phone and also plays a role in causing the black screens. You will notice a SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE in battery life and less bugs and crashes with this one!
Credits go to XDA-developers and their respective authors for the posts, you know who you are. All I've done is complile the information and made a solution for the X2 users out there.
UPDATE: To disable slideview, read step 10, credits to bazsikar & jerpelea =)
UPDATE 2: To disable panel manager and panels, read step 11 & 12 =)
ALL THE STEPS COMBINED ABOVE WILL GIVE YOU A FAST, SMOOTH X2 WITH NO BLACK SCREEN OR CRASHES + 400% IMPROVED BATTERY LIFE (1 MONTH SO FAR, I HAVENT HAD A SINGLE CRASH OR BUG)
Feedback welcome, and please report if this works for you, because it worked for me 100% =)
Thanks for the update , I will give the SK tools thing a crack later.
Thanks for tip!
I got stability on a real good level
by just not using TileWave.
SlideView has sometimes problem with
video playing in Landscape mode...
Seems to be a bit quicker, we will see how stable it is.
thx royalbloodvi but nothing new in the solutions
Just finished with the tunning, it seems faster, lets give it a try
for now i leave my benchmark results
Integer 316.5749
Floating Point 7.565
RAM Acccess 594
Draw Bitmaps 699
MainStor Write 2011.79
MainStor Read 5667.90
Storage Card W 962.86
Storage Card R 1189.31
File List 1443
File List S Card 1034
Mine its a little slower on the internal and external memory.. idk why..

Hi all
Im having a strange and annoying issue..., i dont know if it was after or before the procedure depicted here by royalbloodvi but maybe you can know what is going on..
If i install software on the storage card, i can see the folder created under "Program Files" and i can execute the software with no problems.
Then when i close the app, somehow, automagically the entire folder structure under "Storage Card\Program Files" gets erased, doesnt matter if i have one or twenty apps there, always happens the same thing ....
I dont know if i explain myself clearly, in fact english is not my mother language as you can see haha, but i dont know whats going on, even in this case i dont know which keywords i have to use to google it...
Please if you can give me some advice or trick would be very appreciated, even the "right" english keywords to search for it.
Thanks in advance dudes...

This is a KNOWN issue for all X2 users, using my solution or not.. only way it can be fixed is up to SE itself since they screwed the X2 over.
UPDATE: Read step 8 to disable SLIDEVIEW for significant extended battery life and a more stable X2 =)

And also thanks for your sharing, I'm just removing everything you suggested and let's see. Although I'm a bit sad because I like SlideView and TileWave, especially visualy but I need some functions working properly instead, so I give it a try.
As I extensively use X2, using most of it's features (besides GPS)
I must say that the main thing FOR ME was to not use extensively TileWave.
After beeing really frustrated and unhappy, I was still tracing the places where the device crash.
And found it was using some functions on TileWave, I can say it
after repeating the patterns about 50 times, I was like a real beta tester....
So avoiding it, the device works almost seamless....
The bugs I see:
As I mentioned, the main SlideView bug is playing and exiting video playback
in landscape... This always crash sooner or later.
Besides that, the device gets stuck in Sound&Notification settings once you go there sometimes
and WM Homescreen sometimes doesn't see the pictures from memory card.
Besides that, it works and if they'll ever make it reliable,
it's my best choice.
volks,
i have been using x1 for over an year and been in XDA for yearssss,
that thing that i notice in openGL (msn 7200 platform)freeze the phone and crash the system.
if you wanna crash your sytem use slideview panelmanger ,play xtrakt then run a video and your xperia will crash.
opengl on the msm 7200 platfom is very unstable(maybe its the lack of good drivers or window mobile integration).
avoid opengl stuff and you will be good.
UPDATE: To disable panelmanager.exe, simply delete all panels in programfiles\panels EXCEPT MS_Today panel, and panelmanager will no longer run.
Result: Extend battery life EVEN further! Works best for those who dont use panels like me (I find it pointless)

Yes, I deleted it aswell from HKLM\init together with xkeyhandler.exe
Good battery life and stable system, no freezing at all, no missed sms or calls.
Although camera still doesn't start sometimes even if saving location is set to phone memory.

Camera sometimes doesn't start with certain apps in the background
that's my finding.
I've had it with stopwatch running.
Once I turned this off, camera went fine.
As for me - I use panels and SlideView, but just don't use certain
things from these, also no freezes at all.
The main concern is memory card problems now!
(please excuse my english)
thanks for this solution, X2 is better whitout slideview.
but i have always probleme this memory card (like everybody)
and some crash in standy by mode -> black screen and soft reset :'(
other problème : illluminations don't work normaly (maybe because i have use a cab find in xda ...)
and picture in mms are very very very small ...
anybody was an idea ?
thanks
As working for Microsoft, Specially with their windows project I found it very difficult to get a proper guidance or troubleshoot their problems when Microsoft stops supporting them.
Some of you might be aware to the fact as Windows 8 pro at 1,999/- INR price tag is coming without any support from Microsoft end and neither you have any trial option to check and decide whether u should buy it or not, It becomes utterly necessary to initiate a small contribution for the great lovers of the Microsoft.
Here what we are trying to do is to get all the answers for your beloved windows 8 and help you with the troubleshooting their causes.
I would also like to tell the moderators: Thanks for deleting my previous thread but it wasn't a direct commercialization what I was trying to do was to make available things which aren't free.
As piracy is strictly neither my policy nor this forum's so we needed to pay to Microsoft and that is what we were charging, it wasn't a product promotion it was making product available at a price which makes it nearly free.
Anyways back to the topic, folks please go ahead with the issues
I just gat the Asus Q200E and im wondering if I want to switch back to Win 7 will it be tough to get drivers or are they similar to the win 8 drivers. Ive onl used windows 8 for four days and will go on trying to get used to it but so far I dont think i will stay with it. I find myself getting to pissed off with it. I am figuring out most of it but its just not for me. Maybe when there is more support int he way of apps I will use it but its too querky for me as it is.

You can always downgrade to the previous versions for the windows, though downgrading to the windows xp would be bit troublesome due to the compatibility issues but windows 7 and 8 more or less share the same architecture for the device driver compatibility so downgrading to windows 7 would not bring you major issues with ur device drivers until and unless you are having TPA module installed in your laptop
and for downgrading please do contact Microsoft for a downgrade key it is absolutely free
Thank you for your help. Much appreciated..

I have this issue with my older computer; 2.2GHz single core AMD athlon 64 (socket 939). I'd be curious as to what is causing this too, but I only have the release preview on that computer. For me, the computer idles at 25% and it just feels really sluggish, like each process in the system isn't running as efficiently as it could. Conversely, a modified XP (unofficially modified: all components but the bare minimum removed and slipstreamed updates / registry improvements) runs perfectly fine on the same hardware. I know XP is faster than 8, and especially so the modified version I use, but it's clear that something is actually not right. The DPC latency isn't terrible, but it's consistently over 1000 microseconds, vs XP which averaged ~15 microseconds. It must be a driver issue I'm guessing? The hardware is old and I wouldn't be surprised if one of the components isn't running well for whatever reason under 8.
I think the issue is true for both x64 and x86, I thought some of my RAM might have been bad so I took them out and switched to 32 bit while I was at it (in case the 32 bit drivers were better).
Actually on my new gaming rig the dpc latency averages exactly 1000 microseconds with 8, and though I suffer no performance issues, this bugs the living hell out of me, knowing I used to have 15!

I would like to add on to your post. Along with the reason you explained there is one more reason as windows 8 is programmed for giving max performance with the min power consumption, due to which at idle CPU tries to enter at low frequency stage and also if you have a very old system this issue arises as mentioned in the above post due to one more reason of HDD.
Windows 8 tries to keep alive threads running in background to save the power but due to CRC in the old HDD this loops the processor

this issue was already reported by me to Microsoft developers team and they are working on it possibly with a update in December the new fix would be forced in your systems update
mean while if you wan't to create a vbs script or batch file go through these tutorials

In the "good old days" applicaitons would often un-hide the Taskbar so their notification icons could show an updated status and they could ensure it would be seen. I think this method has fallen out of favor, but older applications that haven't been updated could still be sending the commands to the system to show the Taskbar. Is it possible that you have an older app in the notification area that's affecting the Taskbar as described?
Open Task Manager and Regedit.
++ on the Start Menu & select 'Exit Explorer'
or use services.msc to temporarily exit explorer by killing the service "explorer"
In Regedit, navigate to:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Streams\Desktop]
delete the value named 'Toolbars'.
In Task Manager, select 'File' -> 'New Task' -> type 'explorer' to restart
the shell.
If that doesn't do the trick, repeat deleting 'TaskbarWinXP' as well. in ur case it might be 'TaskbarWin8'
I've got a lot of old software but I haven't used any of it on my laptop. Something poorly coded may well be the issue, though this behavior is hardly exclusive to "old" software as windows 8 itself seems to actively embrace exactly this: by default the taskbar is auto hidden (this is not true of xp/vista/7) and if something isn't in the foreground and for whatever reason won't take focus, it will raise the taskbar and keep it raised until you click on said program in the taskbar.
I think it actually might be related to internet explorer and it trying to tell me that a download is finished, but gets stuck there. I'm going to see if it happens with IE running and nothing else before editing the registry.
OK I have a good question for you!
Enabled bitlocker on my C:\ drive. This killed the bootable recovery and also 8's ability to "refresh" without a DVD (it could not find the files needed).
How do I move the bootable recovery tools to the system partition? Will this fix the refresh problem? If not, how do I restore 8's ability to refresh without external media?

have u made any changes in hardware or the system software after enabling bitlocker or ur system is running in dual boot
I am sure for one thing mere copying the bootable recovery tools to the system partition won't help.

I don't know how you're not having "this issue" since enabling bitlocker *forces* WinRE to be disabled, including the ability to refresh.
I disabled bitlocker because ReAgentc.exe refused to operate with bitlocker enabled. The only solution I could find was to format the HDD, recreate a bigger system partition, reinstall windows and do things from the fresh install. I suppose I could refresh my custom image from there, assuming it would even work for 8 (the instructions I found were for 7).

these also work for for 8 as I was told in training and specifically for 8 we are still waiting for the manuals
I can't access the windows app store in my wifi network which is secured by a proxy and i have to authenticate to browse. All desktop apps works well but not the windows app store. It asks for authentication bot when i give the username and password to it, it shows "your network proxy does not work with windows store contact your administrator". what should i do to access the microsoft app store.
Hello, i thought id help people who have low spec computers and who want to perform a clean install on there machine. Firstly obtain a copy of windows 10 preferably 32 bit. With a keycode. This tutorial is aimed at machines with 2gb of ram or less eg 1 gb. It helps if the processor supports HT (Hyper Threading) or is a dual core processor to be able to cope with the load and instructions of the cpu. Ive installed on a pentium 3.ghz supporting HT. I know windows 10 supports lower cpu speeds ive also installed on intel atom 1.6ghz too( Netbook). I have some earlier Pentium 4 cpus e.g 2.4-2.6ghz and will be trying lower spec cpus and will update as i go along. To improve performance some of the services in windows 10 will need to be shut down. There are 4 services that impact the quite significantly.
1: Background Intelligent transfer.
2: Superfetch.
3:Themes.
4: Windows Update.
Also Chrome is bad for eating up memory as well. Windows 10 will really struggle on low amounts of memory if these services are not disabled. The main culprit being windows update.
How to close these services down.
Go to Control panel - Administrative tools- Services- Scroll down the list to find each one then disable each one. And stop each service. Restart your pc and press control -alt-del then select task manager click on the 4th tab along for performance here you can monitor your cpu load, amount of memory being used and check your disk useage. Its also advisable to enable "Do not check for windows update. As you will get reminders to check. No updates will be applied to your pc. If you do require updates, the update service can be enabled again. But i would recommend disabling afterwards. I hope this will help some members. If you feel it has helped donations are very welcome thank you.
completely useless and potentially dangerous....
Enlighten me Midral how can it be useless and dangerous. Comments but with no actual reasons as to why. Easy to critsize isn't it. Tell me then how would you run windows 10 with 1-2 gb of memory and by letting all the services run. How can it be dangerous? Id love to know and id like to know your work arounds. Id have thought its more dangerous by letting everything run as youll over load your memory, cpu and maybe it will overheat certainly freeze and or crash.
You need to backup your sarcastic comments Midral. What knowledge or experience do you have and don't start researching on google. What contributions have you made to the forums? I'd love to know

Not to me... first thing I do is disable these "services." Seems that these GD updates break more than they fix. On two of my budget tablets I wound up reinstalling Windows and immediately disabled updates. Prestochange-o!! No more trouble. I use Winaero Tweaker and Auslogics Boostspeed to fine tune and clean, and I use tenforums.com for tutorials on how to debloat all of the useless junk from windows.
Rich
Thank you Rich, as you say if you ran all the services its cripples the rescources. On low end equipment you have to disable services. I also use group policy to prevent the windows updates from renabling after rebooting. otherwise you end up with 100% cpu and or disk useage making it impossible to even browse your system. But Midral doesnt seem to grasp this as i say its easy to make sarcastic comments. It would be interesting to see his work arounds for low end budget tablets. laptops and pcs.
Another tip: Use tablet mode. The system uses the resources much better.

Hi... just to say...
In adition to this startup:
- try to purge cache memory and old install data with Microsoft disk cleanup integrated in Windows 10 (and select system files aswell) - click search button and type disk clean , it will automatically find the program, start up program i wait till finishes up
- you might get a look for problems in Computer managment (right click on START menu / Computer managment / look for TASK SCHEDULER and delete some tasks there that runs on startup)
- you might take a look on EVENT VIEWER (right click on START menu / EVENT VIEWER / then look for WINDOWS LOGS/APLICATION and /SYSTEM for errors - some errors are fixable some require admins / comp. servicers)
- cheap solution is downloading a program called ADVANCED SYSTEM CARE and purge automatically (but note that this programs "ALL IN ONE CLEANERS" might damage in some occasion OS files and updates, and therefore render it useless - then new fresh install is imminent - WORST CASE SCENARIO is boot loop (black screen, windows logo and trying to fix windows message going and going ...))
Hope that anything here would help...
If works hit thanks :good:
thanks all for your replies ..
i am wondering why after installing microsoft office 2019 the problem began ..
when I formated the win 10 pro ..

no closing eyes ..
like thunder or spoting a ghost ..
i mean the laptop is very fast ..
but after installing the office its like ..
changing a fast car to a turtle [emoji217] ..
the matter is very bad ..

It's normal for installed programs to impact on device startup and overall performance. You just have to maintain them properly, like cleaning internet cache and rubbish , old files etc. , but if program on startup is causing a load you can simply disable it thru task managaer/startup (everything you can disable, but notn antivirus programs or essential systems like programs for printers etc.).
You can try to disable word/office from startup (via task manager or task scheduler) if you think it is culprit for bad performance. Restart after disabling it and see if helps, if not turn office back on or enable it.
Also I recommend antivirus scan (boot scan). I use AVAST AV and prior to entering Windows I set periodically AV to scan at boot to fix malwares and viruses that maybe causing problems.
Due to non-stop on internet I always purge temporary files and internet temp files from Users/YOURUSERNAME/appdata (if not visible turn on on folder settings - view hidden files).
Keep me up with results...

Well that's something... So something is loading at startup and in memory banks.
Let's try something new.
Can you put image of / screenshot of startup items here ?
(and please add your laptop description down to last detail , ram, cores, disk if it is ssd etc.)
Yes its lazy
I find it slow too but I tend to start windows and leave it to sort itself for 5 minutes then its fine.

Ok let's get a look of that windows host process rundll 32 , you can disable this , this is not critical process but you must tell me what this proces does and to what file it is linked.
On task manager you can go to services and find out about file that is using host process and then disable it from services to run.
Even better way : Open RUN command (WIN key+R) and type msconfig. Then go to tab "services" and find host process and disable it, after restart it will not load into memory and hopefully problem will be at lease fixed or pšerformance will be improved.
Also disable all microsoft load's like OFFICE 365 or something or program correlated to it.

I'm glad to have this sorted out and that you are now happy ... Cheers!
not sure if u still need this but there are a couple of steps to follow and you'll notice difference in speed:
1- open task manager, then go to startup tab and disable everything that you don't want to run on startup ( this will reduce your boot time)
(

)
2- open run (press windows + R) then type msconfig then hit enter then go to services and click on hide all microsoft services, then disable all the services you don't want. (

)
3- clean temp and prefetch folders:
open run then type Temp and click enter, a new folder will open, delete everything inside
open run then type %Temp% and click enter, a new folder will open, delete everything inside
open run then type Prefetch and click enter, a new folder will open, delete everything inside
then restart your laptop
4- download some software to clean your registry files and update your drivers
What about viruses? You can try to use any best corporate antivirus to use. Take a look at https://antivirus-review.com/best-android-antivirus which one to try. Maybe it will be useful for you. Because, very often, the problems with the system starting and running can be caused by viruses or any other malicious files.

you can manage startups in task manager. you can also choose services to be run manually or delayed automatic start in task manager > services. you can also remove some explorer shell integrations in autostarts app (a part of sysinternals suit), you can also disable unnecessary features with winaero tweaker
