Hermes vs. Wizard switch-on time

[Izzard-UK]

I just played with my old Wizard (now my wife's) and I just realised it comes on much faster from standby than my Hermes.

The Wizard's screen illuminates instantly (or near enough) when the Power button is pressed whereas my Hermes takes up to two seconds.

Anyone else notice this? Can it be fixed?

The wifi may explain this; when it is activated the tytn take a little longer to wake up. As I dont have any wizard I cannot speak about that kind of device.

The Hermes powersave mode is a strange beast. They've always been this way. I noticed it immediately too when I switched from my 8125. Also, A2DP shuts down in powersave mode and return from powersave always forces portrait mode.

I agree. There was an earlier post on that. My Wizard was switching on much faster. The Hermes takes a while to switch on. On the today screen I only have the phonealarm. Frankly wizard felt much faster than hermes.

Yes, the Wizard powers on the screen faster, but I find that it's slow for a second or two. My Hermes takes a second, but I've never seen it anything other than ready to go at that point. Of course, it could be differences in loaded software, etc.

Still, any difference there pales in comparison to the speed in general use. Rotating the screen is a 1 second thing instead of 5.

Is the speed issue due to WM5's spec requiring the use of flash RAM rather than standard RAM to save data loss on a flat battery?

Both the Wizard and Hermes run WM5.

In addition to these theories I've noted in a previous post that having either of the lock/password protection options enabled gives you a second or so of white screen when bringing out of standby.

Ok... cough up the reghack plz..... :)

This one's been aggravating me for some time now! It's especially annoying when I'm using my BT keyboard since I always place my TyTN onto the stand landscape oriented.
