Not sure where else to look...Tilt/Pantech Duo question

[memnoch_thedevil]

So I swapped the iPhone for the Tilt, and so far so good. But now I have a questions about my wifes Pantech Duo.

It also uses Windows Mobile 6, but it is full of ATT bloatware, and is slow, locks up and freezes from time to time, and sometimes she has to reset the phone because it doesn't show her contacts, pictures etc...

I have searched all over the internet, and the only thing I can find that even relates to the phone, is a program that makes the slider actually work the phone when you slide it up and close it.

Any help would be fantastic as my wife is all over me lol...

thanks in advance,

memnoch

Hard reset & then soft reset as soon as the "The device will customize in three seconds" appears. Also check out SK Tools. You can do several performance tweaks & it's UI is pretty easy to understand.

Hrm...well I don't see a soft reset anywhere on the Pantech Duo, and I just did the hard reset, and it never went through the same customization setup that my tilt did, and all the bloat ware is still there :(

There are quite a few differences between how WM6 Pro (Kaiser) works and how WM6 Standard (Duo) works.

I would recommend that you check out some of the Smartphone threads on this forum. Here are some things that you should look at doing.

1) Application Unlock your device (allows unsigned program installs, System Files and Registry changes, ect...) Search for a smartphone Application Unlock cab.

2) Look in the Windows\Start Up\ folder and delete any unnecessary start up apps (I couldn't tell you what to delete without looking at what is in there)

3) Delete unnecessary things from start menu (Windows\Start Menu\) This won't improve the speed but it will reduce clutter

Hope that helps.

This link is for the security configuration manager for windows mobile 5, but I used this and changed the policy to unlocked, and it worked fine as an application unlocker on the Duo. Still looking for a cooked ROM, but guess you can't have everything.
