help - mda compact got slowers

[smakker]

hi xda-developers,

my mda compact got really slow an I don't know how to repair.
The battery was almost empty as it began to get slower. (as if it switched to power-safe mode) I haven't installed any new software on the mda.
Soft-resets unfortunately didn't help.
Do you have an idea what's wrong? Do I have a chance to repair it without hard-resetting the device? Are there any diagnostic-tools, that could tell what's the problem?

Thanks in advance for your answers!

Greetings,
smakker

You mentioned the battery was low, did it change when you recharged the device? Or is it still slow?

Remember that without using a 3rd party software, programs don't actually close but remain memory resident. You'll have to close them via the Running Program Lists.

If the above doesn't work, then maybe a hard reset is only the solution.

Yes, I have a task manager that shows what is running :D

PHM bit of software I think ;)

Could you make a Hard-reset and see if things go snappier?

I am tempted but I need to make sure everything is prepared and backed up first, such as working out exactly what I want on it and that everything is secured.

In the new year I am getting a 2gb mSd so I may do it then ;)
