SIP menu takes a long time to open

---

I have a Gene (p3400i) device.

Sometimes, my 'sip menu' (the one that pops up when you tap the arrow next to the keyboard icon) takes very long to open... up to a minute some times.

I don't know what causes this behaviour - sometimes its after I install a new sip and sometimes after I uninstall one. Nothing will bring it back to normal, not even a soft-reset.

However, if I make a full backup with SPB backup, hard-reset and restore the problem is solved. Despite the fact that SPB backup restores every part of the registry and memory.

Any suggestions? Is this common? Does someone know the exact cause? And can it be solved with out a tedious hard-reset and restore?

Most recently it began when I used a registry cleaning program to clean out some junk registry items.

all my devices have been like that since wm5

Have you ever found a way to solve it? Apart from the backup-and-restore thing I pointed out?

nop my devices been like that directly from hardreset all of them
directly from the store too with the rom they came with

You mean that all your devices have taken 60s+ for the sip menu to pop up even without you doing anything (installing/uninstalling SIPS or REG edits)?

That's odd. I have what is probably the slowest winmo device around (the htc gene) and on the stock rom the SIP menu still usually popped up in under 5s. Its just that sometimes, this behaviour would suddenly change....

Speed up SIP display and overall performance increase

This has been discussed many many times.
Since WM5 I do the following and it works extremely well, I wonder why it isn't more popular:

Wow! I had no idea about this!

Actually, come to think about it, the backup and restore routine that worked for me essentially amounted to this I guess...

Still, thanks!

Damn this!

I'd personally much rather be able to hide the menu all together. I really never change my input methods, so having it there and hitting it accidentally is really just a pain in the a**.

So, basically what I'm asking is if there is a way to *hide* the menu chooser all together?

Idealy I'd like to do away with it, and have it moved to the Start > settings> menu. that way there's no making any mistakes.

See my post from a couple weeks ago for reference.
