XV6850 Big disapointment (out of the box)

---

This is the biggest disappointment yet. VZW really dropped the ball. With the missing memory the phone is nearly crippled. For those that dont know all other variants of this phone have 256 megs of RAM. The VZW version as 192. I dont even see it all and the website says 128. By default TF3D is NOT even enabled. When it is... OMG! The lag is horrendous. Free RAM on first boot can be seen in my screenshot below. 45 megs!! Woot! Great job VZW. My vouge with a custom ROM boots at 75 megs free and has no freakin lag at all. Same thing with my Titan. My Titan will run circles around this disappointment in a shiny package!

This is a SAD day for me and all VZW users.

If your on VZW and are thinking of upgraded from a XV6800 or an XV6900 DONT DO IT! Its not nearly as nimble as teh sprint version. GPS is locked right out of the box. I am so let down. Luckily two days ago I got a brand new vouge. I am packaging this back up and sending it back to VZW.

UPDATE: I did some tweaking on the stock ROM and have the device running pretty decent now. Here is what I did.

Here is the full thread which is very similar to this one. Maybe we should kill this thread and continue on here:

Onto the Pros:
I can send it back
The screen is incredible!!!!



**Sorry for the rant.

Is that 45 megs free RAM while TF3D is running?

No, that is no touchflow running.

Right now I am screwing around with MemMaid to see if I can tweak this thing. Its helped a little.....

30.09 Megs free with TF3D running. WOW!

got 4 of the phones in today, and i've been using it since 10am this morning with TF3D enabled......

TF3D works flawlessly on all the phones, no lag whatsoever in TF3D with google maps, opera, teeter, and activesync running


Does this phone have less memory than any other Touch Pro? Yes
Does it affect the performance of the phone? No. Period.

Have you ever used one of my custom ROMS? This is very laggy. Can you post your free memory?

Oh man. I don't know where anyone EVER got the idea that reducing memory on a WM device was a good thing to do.

i'm using the stock rom from Verizon

if your custom rom is lagging it sounds like a personal problem


I have yet to find a cooked ROM for the Verizon TP as from what i've seen everywhere the SPL unlocker for all the other TP's does not work with the VZW one

Do your ROM's work with the VZW Touch Pro?

You did not read my post accurately., I asked you question. I did not say I was using a custom ROM on this phone. I am asking you if you have ever used one of my custom ROMS? IF so you woul understand why I percieve this to be so laggy. My titan is much faster than this.

Everyone on VZW is using the stock rom as of now. There is no unlocker for this crippled model. NONE. They are working on it though. Its a differnt device DI than the rest of them.

What phone are you coming from? Can you give us more info so I can gauge if this is my phone having issues?

Could you post your free memory once again please?
