Default bad performance on gui operations

Hello,
I'm new with HTC devices, now I have a Trinity with Rom 1.15.405.

My old device was an Eten M600. Well, even if the Cpu is the same, I feel a bad performance on all gui operations, such as menu opening, tapping reactions, keyboard response...


Is this normal? Any hope it can be fixed in next roms?

Lightbulb Possible fix

I too have a Trinity for some weeks now and I understand what your saying this is possibly todo with the ROM on the device i.e it's still needs fine tuning and performance should improve with each subsequent ROM update - I hope!

Try using a registry hack to improve performance... just a suggestion but try using the following file - definately helped with mine.

HTC Blackstone - now I can truly say an amazing WM device! If we somehow get properly optimised video drivers then even better.

Lightbulb Another idea for you

I too am always on a mission to improve performance even if it isnt broken I try and fix it if you catch my drift, and have soft and hard reset my device over 200 times in the three weeks that I had it. So I have almost everything to improve performance generally. I found that installing the first file in the first post helped, try installing the attached file it contains alot of registry tweaks that I have played with and these have also helped further I would say it has improved general performance by around 20% and have made my Trinity a pleasure to use.

Turn on the following after you have installed it (you will need .Net Compact Framework installed as well to run this software):

0. Speed up the Display (this really works well)
1. Optimum Cache Size for WM5 (this really works well)
2. Increase the transfer rate in SD/MMC cards (this really works well)
3. Max TCP windows size

The rest are more general tweaks but add to the flavour...

4. Optimized cache option for Terminal Service Client
5. Smooth scrolling in Pocket Internet Explorer
6. Allows users to synchronize the device clock with NIST Internet Time Service (ITS).
7. Enable ClearType in Landscape
8. Wake Up PPC in full Power Mode (not sure about this one but won't hurt)
9. Disable Bitmap caching (not sure about this one but won't hurt)
10. Move PIE temp files to any of your storage cards
11. Animated Windows (this makes the GUI feel faster as you get some action)

NB. The trial Version will run 3 times enough to do your fixes but then you will need to buy it to further modify or revert to original settings.

Let me now what you think.

Post More tweaks not just for GUI but good performance

More general tweaks...

Make A2DP output stereo (joint stereo by default - why I wonder? well heaven knows) and change sound quality to excellent, these tweaks made a bloody big difference to listening to music via BT Headphones.

You can also unlock and mount the Extended ROM

Download and install the following (Hermes Registry Tweaker) - http://www.theunwired.net/?itemid=3311

I'm more and more disappointed by Trinity. Installation of Compact NET Runtime gives "out of memory", even if it seems to install anyway. I have 33 MB Storage and 17 MB Ram free memory after reboot (soft reset), no apps are running.

I tried a wmv video encoded with Pocket DVD on both Trinity and M600. Well, on the M600 it is much much smoother... My sister's K-Jam (Wizard) plays same video better than Trinity, even if it has only a 200 MHz cpu.

Red face Hmmm curious

I have had most devices from HTC - and to be honest trinity has impressed me greatly, especially after all the tweaks.

My Trinity plays video encoded for 640x480 (vga screens with no issues it cuts straight through it) including Divx, Avi, Xvid, WMV using CorePlayer, I am suprised that you are having this problem.

Why don't you do a hard reset then install all your apps onto storage except for .NET CF. Then do all the tweaks I suggested I am hoping you then end up with one of the best windows Mobile 5 Devices out there with 3G.

Don't give up it wll be worth it - especially when they enable GPS as well.

It has a desturbing sound on the higher tones and the bas is muffled. I tried the fit4 program and changed to the best quality, it sounded a little bit better but it was hard to hear, beacuse now the music skips even more thnat earlier. You know you ger music for a while, it cuts of for a second and then comes back. Now it does this every 5 seconds.
