WM 2003 application too slow on WM 6.1 - General Topics

Hi,
Quite some time ago I bought a life license for Wayfinder navigator. It was working fine on my SE P900. And I love it always uptodate maps and the fact that you can report error in maps and get them fixed within a couple of weeks. At least before it wa bought by Vodafone.
Now I want to run it on HTC Blackstone. The problem is that the version I bought is for WM2003, and Blackstone runs on WM 6.1. After a few efforts I managed to install it and it runs quites good. The problem is that it a bit slow. It switches slow between screens, informes about the turns a bit late, and it takes a good quarter of a minute to switch it off. I have an impression that it runs slower than on my old SE P900.
I wonder if it is related to the fact that WM 6.1 is not optimized for WM2003 programs?
Any ideas if it is possible to make it run faster?

The "my TyTn works just fine" post

I get scared real easy, and I'm now starting to worry about the TyTn. Several people are now reporting problems with these devices, including serious hardware problems.
So please comfort me; your TyTn works just great right?........righ?
Mine is fine so far, no key problems or screen alignments only problem i have is slow access to web sites with tmobile
Cheers
Chris
This is a good idea, but unfortuntely your going to get a pretty skewed result seen how most ppl that have issues are on these boards because they want to resolve them, if your device is working fine its less likely you will be at this juncture to post 'all's well'.
It seems a massive amount of problems seem to be directed to the Vodaphone models and not necessarily the TyTN models. Also other forums arent reporting wide spread problems, and furthermore I just spoke (email) with 2 other Australians who had purchased HTC TyTNs from USA, and they havent had any issues with their devices.
I hope this information is of some comfort to you. If it helps I had the same feeling with the jasjar as it had widespread complaints, although m ainly software ones which I knew could and were addressed.
Trion ... Can't stop singing praises
Really happy with my Trion.
I had started with the original XDA which was the first one of it's kind and kind of cool but that quickly fell out of use due to the phone usability and the need to always use a stylus. I was really happy with the Smartphones as it really was usable using one hand but when the Trion came out I thought it was time to take the plunge back to a PPC, well at least as a office phone. Haven't looked back. Thejog dial button works a charm and with all the extra buttons you can actually use the Trion full time without use of the stylus. WLAN functions perfectly even with Skype. Push email functions like a charm syncing contacts and calander, tasks and email instantly (I recommend mail2web as a cheap way of implementing push email). A2DP actually works and is finally usable especially with the A2DP improvement hack. Now listening to music is crystal clear with no skipping (I'm using the Motorola HT820 which gives start stop pause functionality and with some other hacks you can program the speaker button to trigger programs such as voice command). Tomtom works fine. Definately the 400 Mhz CPU has made the Trion function well with most apps.
The size is slightly smaller than the Wizard but it actually makes a huge difference. Pictures are actually usable with 2MP and a flash light which helps a bit as well.
I finally found the perfect business phone I can use!

Mine work fine now for 3 weeks w/o any soft reset.
English version from the Netherlands
Only 2 time (in the night) he was crashed but I think it's because I use pocket wakeup.

Mine is fine (vodafone v1605) although I cant get vodafone live just a blank screen but the rest of the web is great. No Issues after a hard restet when I first got it, it seems I wasnt the first person with it as I didnt have to set it up and it had 2 minutes on the call timers. But apart from that mine works great.
hey,
i've had my v1605 for a total of 22 hours now. I got mine on a wicked upgrade deal (released from contract for free and got handset for free too)
So far I must say that I haven't found any issues with this baby.

What to do with my Wizard?

Hi, although this is my first post in this great forum, for some time I've been reading and learning .
I am seeking for advice. I have an HTC Wizard (Qtek 9100), which I've been using since june 2006, that isn't performing too well Lately. At the end of the day it freezes too often when trying to launch memory intensive programs like TextMaker or PlanMaker (SoftMaker Office 2006). Last Friday I finally had some time to hard-reset and start from scratch. Since I keep all the installation programs and serials on once place (and updated), in no time I had it set up. Nice. But after only four days, performance hasn't improved much, in fact I'm back to square one, needing one or two resets a day .
Since the first day I've used MemMaid and other tools to do some clean up. I have experience with the registry and I know what can be optimized there and what not. Recently I even got SK Tools to see if it could breathe some more life on my Wizard, but with no success
So I'm looking either at some advice to keep my device in shape, in case there's something that I haven't already tried or if I should look for another PocketPC Phone Edition more up to date. I’d rather keep my Wizard at least until WM6 devices available, but I can’t work this way for much longer.
In case I find no fix, I’ve considered getting a Herald or a Hermes 200. I know the technical specifications of both. The 400 MHz processor would be a welcome improvement (I don’t have much use for 3G, I have Wifi in most places), but I am looking for stability. Because of this if an AKU 3.X device is more stable, I prefer this over an AKU 2.3 device even if the last is faster. I’m not looking for faster resets after the freezes, I’m looking for a device that lasts longer between freezes/crashes . I also have read that there are plans of an AKU 3.X for the Hermes, but I learned a long time ago to make decisions only based on what’s currently available unless there is very strong evidence.
P.D.: Sorry for this very long post

Is it worth it?

That's the question to the WM6 upgraders. Please comment if you've made the generic upgrade. Should you have stayed with WM5, waited for the official release, or happy you used a generic ROM? Thanks for your comments!
unlike other HTC products official update to wm6 make me no problems at all now.
no buggy cameras, no short battery life, no slow system issues....
I just upgraded my phone and my wife's to WM6. I use all of the registry tweaks and such with my phone so WM5 was usable for me prior to the upgrade. However my wife does not like all of that extra stuff so she was running WM5 in it's default configuration and she was constantly complaining about hers. I used the generic upgrade on both phones and I found that there was not as much stuff that needed tweaking on mine and she doesn't complain about her phone (in it's default configuration) at all anymore. In both cases the OS seems a lot more efficient and stable, plus the generic release is missing most of the try & buy/at&t bloatware crap that comes with the branded release. Bottom line I say go for it, you'll be pleased.

My device is a Telstra (Australia) branded WM5 Treo. I upgraded a few weeks back to the generic WM6 ROM because Telstra still does not have their WM6 ROM released, whereas other carriers (3 and Voda) have had their ROMs out for months. In the end I couldn't wait.
Anyway, the upgrade went fine and I am much happier with WM6. It is faster in every way, especially when answering a call. Where previously under WM5 there seemed to be a delay of 2-3 seconds between pressing the answer button and actually being connected, it is now instantaneous.
It may only sound small, but the new speakerphone and mute buttons on the active call screen are very handy!
The only weird thing I have noticed is that when you open a Calendar item to view (i.e. not edit) the left soft key used to be "Edit" on WM5 but on WM6 it is "Reply" and it is greyed out as you'd expect because it is not an email message! I can't figure out why Palm made that particular change.
Aside from that, it's all good!

newbie question: which ROM is most stable

New to the site and have never upgraded the ROM on my Orange E650 (still running original ROM version 1.35.61.1). Just had it sim unlocked by jockyw2001 as I need to port my number over to another provider due to signal issues.
Have read through some of the posts and am interested in flashing it with one of the WM6.5 ones. Could you tell me which one is the most stable? The only applications I use on the phone are the browser and skype although only for IM as the call quality is very poor even when using the wifi connection.
Thanks,
i use wm 6.1 v1.1(from Dr. Martin Gonzo). is the most stable and fast in my opinion. whit default home screen, it take about 2 seconds to rotate image when sliding. so..is the faster for me. i recomand it! the wm6.5 ones take higher to rotate screen with the 6.5 home screen
Thanks I'll give that a try this weekend.
Hi Sfan1, I am using fireburned's WM6.5Clean3.1 since a half year on my Vox allmost without any problems (bluetooth handsfree in my car sometimes make trouble, but not often). I think standby time is normal (I tired other ROM's and it is nearly the same - WLAN need much power, without using WLAN standby time is okay (okay not comparable with Nokia), Titanium homescreen is nice, and in total it is a very good ROM.

[Q] Touch Pro 2 WM 6.5 "The Iceberg"

I have an HTC TP2 6.5 with a awful habit of freezing solid. By that, I mean the screen. I previously had a TP2 6.1, which (tragically) lost a hard-fought battle with water.
I bought a TP2 6.5 from an individual on Amazon. It arrived with water damage (solid red rectangle on stylus-side beneath back cover). The seller promptly replaced the first phone with another. Initially (about 3 days) it was great. Then the freezing began. I fixed it once and it froze again within 3-4 hours.
Now to my question: Can WinMo 6.5 be reverted to 6.1? I would almost give an arm, leg & one testicle to do so.
Thanks for any & all help!!
Yes
Who you got for a provider? if its VZW go to
http://www.pcdphones.com/our-devices/products/68-xv6875
and DL and install the MR1 update which is default otherwise need to look for your on the list in this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686903
On VZW the MR3 upgrade is way more stable the MR2 i would get constant freezes requiring a reboot but all good with MR3
I switch back and forth with WM 6.5 and Android but wow MR3 is actually good? I thought it was similar to MR2 (which I have and need to change my sig) but with a bluetooth fix. Either way I don't feel like getting it but good to know if I have to hard reset one day.
