View Full Version : Prophet freezes when switching on.

I just sold my XDA Exec and bought an SPV M600 and I'm loving it!

It actually fits in my pocket and does pretty much everything the Exec did - plus the battery life is SOOOOOOOOO much better.

My only gripe is this: occassionally when I turn it on, it freezes for about 5-10 seconds. I'm usually tapping away at the screen during this time, and after 5-10 seconds it "catches up" and processes all my taps and basically goes mad opening stuff up.

It has been doing this this since I bought it - usually 2 or 3 times a day so I doubt it's any of the software I've installed.

I'm using the latest Dopod ROM.

I'm have Magic Button, the batteystatus plug in (my device is overclocked to 260mhz from 195mhz using OMAP), TodayScheme Changer and I'm also using the Launcher plug in.

If anyone can help I'd really appreciate it, this isn't a major problem but I'd like to solve it anyway,

Thanks.

Have you tried your Prophet without all those apps installed? Specially the TodayTheme Changer and BatteryStatus plugin since those two apps run on the today screen and that's pretty much the first thing that hogs the system bigtime, specially on the slow prophet.

I know you have overclocked it but today plugins tend to overload the processor a lot.

Obviously there's some process that's taking some time to release the system. This I've never seen on mine, but I'm sure you have some app that's causing this.

Just a thought.

Thanks for your reply Rayan, but I also had this problem before I had installed anything. To be fair it hasn't been doing it much lately so I reckon I can live with the odd delay now and again.

I don't have Net Framework 2 installed. I found that Magic Button wasn't closing Internet Explorer properly, so I reinstalled it and it works much better now. I think IE was the main culprit. Are there any decent browsers out there? I tried Opera but didn't really get on with it.
