XDA II very slow......

[double_ofour]

Is there anyway to make this fast? or any defragmenting software so that i can defrag it and make it fast? thx

[cchris]

It improve performance by a 10x factor! :D

[double_ofour]

what is 10x factor

[Rudegar]

what is 10x factor it means that it make it faster by a factor of 10 as in 10 times faster

of cause i doubt very much that defrag does that because it's not machanical like a harddisk
then the only "seek" delay is cas and ras which are pretty low compared to seek time on magnetic and optical disks

pocket mechanics can defrag a SD card but i would not do it because i doubt very much that it would help much and with sd cards limited writings before it dies defrag could dec the life time

You could try overclocking your device. Before I give you the link to this application though, first some warning:

Overclocking the device involves sending more power, as in battery power, to the processor. Doing this obviously generates more heat in the processor and therefore processor life will be reduced, sometimes dramatically.
Battery life is also a consideration. I experience half battery life when I overclock my device to 530MHz, above the normal 400MHz.
The application also gives you the ability to under-clock your device, making it slower but giving extremely extended batery life (I wouldn't recommend anything under 300MHz unless you are just receiving calls).

Here's the link to the app:

Ask if you have any questions about this as the detrimental effects are real.

The number one cause of the XDA2 (MDA2, Qtek2020, etc) to slow down are the dreaded Notifications bug and the 32 process limit, plus even tho we have plenty of RAM, if you get lots of stuff on your internal RAM and manage to go as low as 30 or 20 megabytes free both on storage and program, the system WILL start to degrade drastically!

The notification bug can be fixed with Pocket Mechanic (comercial package) or Check Notifications (www.ScaryBearSoftware.com FREE).

And the 32 process limit can be avoided by going to your Windows/Startup folder and delete some unnecesary (at least for me) applications. Just make sure you don't delete STK.lnk, Poutlook.lnk, MMReg.lnk, ChgDfLnk.lnk (could vary by model, mine is an MDA2).

The last solution is to buy an SD Memroy Card to store files and install software. The more free internal memory you have the better.

Hi Rayan,

Can you tell us what these lnks are used for. I've got a PDA2k with most of these except mmreg.

Thanks

I've tried Scalar. It is really oasome :shock: Tried the 3rd CPU speed (300), it did save battery life by almost 25% yet the p.mance is much slower, whereas 5th speed (472) is a jetspeed!!

mmreg for mms,
stk for sim tool kit
poutlook for pocket outlook...

but to tell you the truth, I deleted everytrhing coz i dont use them :)

To be specific, poutlook is used when you have set your Inbox to wake up your device every x minutes to connect and download email from your POP or IMAP server.
If you don't use that functionality, you can safely delete poutlook
