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
