Slow landscape/portrait change

[mensis]

got kaiser 2 weeks ago, overall great phone but it is a little slow.

particulary when oppening the keypad, it takes about 5+ seconds to change to landscape mode. and when it does it still slow (slow responce, particulary from keyboard) for another 10-15 sec.

is there any solution to this problem?

thanks

Thats indeed strange, mines responses instantly.
have u tried increasing font, glyph caches? That may help a lot!

FYI (experiment with numbers to get your own best results)
This stuff is included in kaiser tweak, but you really cant modify the numbers to your own!

Increase font cache

To increase the font cache, speeding up font rendering at the cost of a bit of memory:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 16384 (DWORD decimal)
To change it back to the default:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 8192 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like


Enable FileSystem cache

To enable the FileSystem cache, speeding up overall performance at the risk of the cache not being written on a sudden reset:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 0 (DWORD decimal)

Note that by default, the cache size is zero, and you will see no effect. See "Increase FileSystem cache" to incease the cache size


Increase FileSystem cache

To increase the file system cache:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)
To return the file system cache to zero:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like


Increase FileSystem filter cache

To enable the file system filter cache, speeding up overall performance with file mangement:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\Rep lStoreCacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)
To return the file system filter cache to zero:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\Rep lStoreCacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like

hmm, i actually have those tweeks enabled, and have not noticed any change in performance of landscape mode.

what ROM do you have on your kaiser? if it's standard then which by which company?

i have UK vodafone one.

Have you installed any 3rd party today plugins? More importantly, are they on?
I had (still have, in a way... bear with me) this problem with SPB Diary.
Without it being represented on Today, the reorientation portrait-lanscape-portrait took maybe 2-3 seconds, with keys being immediately responsive. With Diary ON, it's closer to the 30-second mark, and keys remain unresponsive for another 10-15 seconds. GAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
(and this even on a newly-HR'ed machine, mind you)
The problem went away once I started using SBSH Pocket Breeze instead, although it irked me having to buy another app to do the same thing, sigh...
What's funny is that my boss is using the very same incarnation of Kaiser and he has no problems whatsoever with SPB Diary...

So, I say you switch off everything bar HTC Home and try again. If it works well, then start experimenting with plugins, you will identify the culprit.

If it's NOT that... sry, no clue.

Thanks for the suggestion.
just tried disabling all today plugins, didnt do a thing.
it takes exactly 3-3.5 seconds to switch. keys become responsive pretty much instnatly but dont show up on screen for 4 seconds.

i did have spb diary installed but i hated the way it took up most of the screen so i deleted it.

i just need a simple, today/tomorrow meeting list that's all.

will give pocketbreeze a try.


i'm suprised to learn this is not a general prolem, i've seen 3 kaisers and all are slow when you open up the keyboard, but if some people dont have this problem then surely there is a way to fix it.

yup.
use their stuff.
sorry, but CNRM :D

I got the same problem, 3-4 sec for switchin portrait to landscape or viceversa.
I notice it as I used a PalmOS device previously and everything was almost istantaneous there.
It is really annoying.
Mine has ROM v 1.56.408.5
Any solution / patches?

Original OEM ROMs are known to have a lot of "bloat" installed that can cause overall system lag.

I am running NoThrills WWE based off of the most "official" WM 6.1 ROM to date, and of the 20+ ROMs I've flashed to date, it is the fastest performing ROM by far.

[dyetheskin]

I'd flash new rom and radio and before installing cabs and changing settings to test the performance besides the normal performance settings and see what that does.
