Hello guys,
I have a really strange problem with my ringtones. Yesterday I installed a universal player , called TCPMP or smth like that. I dont know if that is related to my problem but I thought I should say. Today i missed a few calls because my phone didnt ring...at all. I checked in my ringtones folder (I use mp3s), and they didnt have any icon and when I tried to play them it said: " there is no application that supports this type of file", or smth like that. So I found smth in a thread here, and I editted the registry and my mp3s had icons again and the phone recognized them and played them again. BUT THE PROBLEM JUST BEGINS: the ringtone, the default one and the ones assigned, plays interrupted. U know, like an old cassette , or better saidlike the memory would be very full and the ringtone interrupts. Lets say a 10 seconds ringtone plays 2 seconds and theres a small pause and so on. It happens for every format: mp3, wav, mid. AND it doesnt happen when I play them in Windows media player. ONLY as ringtones. What should I do, besides a hard reset of course??? Thanks very much.
I have the same problem with the ringtone I have (it's a custom-made wave file, mono, 22KHz, 16bit samplerate, lasts about 1min 30 but usually never plays to the end ), I get the problem where it's almost like a buffer underrun, the audio cuts out for a fraction of a second, and then continues playing again, then does the same thing a few seconds later...
... I'm starting to think that it might be a CPU usage issue, too many things running in the background at the same time for the device to be able to play the ringtone and show that stupid animated graphic on the caller ID window when someone calls (I have pictures set for a few of my friends, but for everyone else it just shows the default graphic, I wish I could selectively disable it so only my mates' pictures show up, but I've not had much luck with that).
I've set my CPU to Turbo mode again, turned it off as it was using too much battery, so as soon as someone calls me I can see if it makes a difference to the ringtone playback issue
The issue is file associations. Once you add a new player mp3 ringtones aren't associated with Pocket PC Media Player & don't work. WOrk around is to use WMA ringtones (making sure that WMA is not associated with your new player)...
I've already tried re-association MP3 with WMP, to no avail, I tried hacks and patches suggested on another forum thread, and I tried the MP3Ringtones registry patch... No joy.
I'm beginning to suspect that there may be something tieing up the audio playback or excessively using the CPU, as I get slight jitter when playing back audio, and some MPEGs can't play back at full speed in PocketTV (for instance, there's one full-frame, 1300kbps MPEG file which PocketTV can't even render over 50% realtime speed, including in benchmark mode which doesn't playback any audio)...
... Currently in the hunt for many task managers to try and analyse the problem... Tried the one in the Airscanner Anti-Virus package, no joy (as I'm not 100% which processes are essential and which are extraneous to my XDA's operation) and I'm also looking for PHM Task Manager, but I can't get onto the PHM site and the download doesn't seem to be mirrorred anywhere.
The plot thickens yet more...
Update...
I've cleaned up my XDA somewhat, removed the O2 Active UI amongst other things, blah blah... I think I've managed to get the audio to stop cutting out entirely, but nobody's called since I've made the changes so I can't test it. Odd little thing I noticed, the audio glitches are happening every 5 seconds (regardless of when you start a file with audio playing / someone rings, triggering the ringtone playback)... It's almost as if there's a background process which is cycling every 5 seconds and using 100% of the available CPU for a fraction of a second... It's really starting to piss me off.
I have a fair few processes running when I check up on them using something like PHM Task Manager, but I'm not sure which processes are necessary to the XDA to keep it running without fuxoring it up... So I don't want to go testing purely on random choice. The audio glitching is definitely a regular occurence (every 5 seconds), very very strange...
Yes it's very annoying. Meanwhile I upgraded my qtek to the latest and it worked fine for a while. The ringtones were playing smoothly. But after that, I started to install some apps and games and now it's doing it again. I feel like throwing it to the garbage can. I heard that Pocketzenphone ****s up some phones and I have it too. Didnt try uninstalling it yet, cause it's really annoying to set it up after reinstalling. But I will do it soon to see if thats the cause.
Same issue
I have the same issue on my XDA2i- ringtone tends to "cut" out for half a second almost as if the unit cannot buffer the information fast enough- although this happens even on low memory/bitrate ring tones. I have also noticed that when I am playing some games (such as Skyforce) it "pauses" for a fraction of a second fairly frequently- although this is less noticable in flight mode. I wonder if any of my other apps is causing this- I run Pocket Informant, SPB Imageer, Pocket Music etc. Something in me is also questioning the O2 Active software and whether disabling this would help. Do you run any of the above apps?
no none of the above. Alsi I've heard that spb apps tend to create problems sometimes. I suspected Pocketzenphone and after I reinstalled it , the ringtones finally work fine and smoothly. I had to do a backup on the memory card, after that I did a hard reset and after the restore, my ringtones worked fine. But I guess my Mms problems are caused by Spb pocket plus. I say do a full backup then a hard reset and after that see if the ringtones work fine. If they do, it means its a third party program issue. Good luck!
My XDA 2i isn't running the O2 Active software any more, thanks to this forum providing a method to stop it from running , and I'm still experiencing the problems. I'm wondering if perhaps the animated photo caller feature is causing the CPU to overload (having to render the animation and play the sound file at the same time...
I run SPB Pocket Plus, but I don't really want to uninstall it (if everyone had the same problem, there'd be loads of complaints on this forum about it, surely?)... I think I might have to give it a try, though.
Aside from SPB Pocket Plus and O2 Plus 1.6 and the small Switch app (by hfrmobile.com), I have no other apps running. I try to keep CPU load on my XDA as low as possible, to save battery life, but obviously there's still a problem somewhere.
The problem happens with the CPU set to both Standard and Turbo mode too, so this makes me then think that it might not be a CPU issue as much as it's a problem with the method the XDA is using to decode and playback the audio... But I've checked my file associations (a handy feature which forms part of Pocket Tweak) and the .mp3 association is associated with Windows Media Player, as it should be.
Currently cycling through combinations of Today plugins loaded, killing all other processes except for the essential ones, and trying various things out. Will report back in a bit, after I've gone to have my root canal done one one of my front teeth, oh the joy.
LOL about your tooth problem.. Well I dont know what to say. It seems that for me uninstalling Pocketzenphone solved the problem. Myabe you should try upgrading to the latest unbranded formware , as I have.
PocketTV is processor intensive and I don't like it. Try The Core Pocket Media Player - much smoother. Check that you are running in Turbo mode (Settings/System/Power/Processor).
I used to be able to run PocketTV fine in either of the modes, very bizarre. I think I had an underlying problem with the system, something fuxored up somewhere along the way... I hear that some of the other problems I'm having are fixed with the 1.04 radio, so I'm currently flashing to that.
I didn't install TCPMP before now because I'd heard it can cause MP3 association problems etc etc, I'll definitely give it a shot once I get my XDA up and running again (and if it doesn't still have the problem where it's unable to connect to the O2 network, a problem it developed earlier yesterday afternoon - probably because of all the messing about I was doing with it trying to find out why my ringtones were stuttering!)
On the off hand, you don't happen to have any links to a freeware CPU indicator app? I have a couple of free process manager apps, but the only one I could find which would show me realtime CPU usage was Pocket Hack Master, and I'm absolutely and utterly penniless right now (I truly know how it feels to be skint now that I'm a student, I don't have two pennies to rub together ) If you have any info, I'd love to hear it. If you're using PHM too, then fair enough
The ROM flash worked, and I'm now running version 1.11.162 of the firmware with, crucially radio version 1.04. I read in one thread that this 1.04 update to the radio software helps to get rid of the stuttering ringtones, I've tried ringing myself a few times as I've been adding software to the XDA again, and I've had none of the stuttering problems I was experiencing before.
Give it a few days while this new installation beds itself down, but for the moment, we're looking hopeful! I think it's probably a registry issue or DLL issue, something multimedia-orientated is causing a conflict and leaving it there even if you uninstall it or reassign file assocations in the future... What a pain.
Anyway, it looks like the radio upgrade might just have solved it, and I believe you can upgrade the radio on its own now (see other forum threads for more info about this, I don't have the links to hand right now).
Well you've done well to upgrade, but I had this problem even with the exact version that you uograded too. I use that one now. Its not a firmware issue, but, as you said, a dll or association problem. And, about that tcpmp I would think twice, as the s.o.b. changed my file associations and the phone dindnt recognize mp3s at all. Do a full backup on your card before trying that one.
Hmm, strange. I associated pretty much most of the files EXCEPT for MP3 and WAV with TCPMP, deliberately, to make sure that it didn't try to hijack existing registry settings. I might dump the entire registry to a backup file with PHM Registry Editor before I try associating the files.
I've also not turned on photo caller ID yet, it just shows the default window with the caller information without that dorky animated graphic.
I've also not installed SPB Pocket Plus yet, I'll have to try that sometime soon as well. I can remember the problem not starting to happen until a while after SPB Pocket Plus was installed though, so I'm not sure if that was the trigger for it or not. Hmm...........
Pocket plus might "kid around" too, as I suspect it for messing up my MMS receiving. I can only send, never get the mms. But thats another story. The idea is that, for some of us, Pocket plus also does a bit of a conflict there.
Resolved it
My "pausing" ringtone problem was resolved simply be removing O2 Active software. The whole unit works better now. Installed SPB as well to customise it, and it looks much better now as well. The only feature I think I will miss is the "connection setup" facility where you choose either GPS or GPRS and it sets up connections. Is there any way of running this without the O2 Active interface?
I've just had the same problem on my xdaIIi, although I've had the problem a few times before. I actually get very few calls so find it hard to pin-point when the problem starts. It's nothing to do with the processor (I've overclocked mine) and it's nothing to do with TCPMP, I've had this on my device for ages with no problem. Never had SPB Pocket Plus so that's not the problem (for me)
I'll tell you how i got rid of it and hope someone else actually finds out why it happens.
I simply backed up my device using xBackup, hard reset and restored using backed up file.
Problem gone.
Hope this helps someone.
It's gotta be some kind of file association problem. Let's put it like this though, I paid for SPB Pocket Plus, and after I hard reset my device the problem hasn't reappeared. I probably did something else to it too (when I first got it I tweaked it to ****, to put it concisely), but aside from about two features, I don't miss the 'enhancements' SPB Pocket Plus gave me.
Shame, cause I paid for it 'n all.
Don't see why a file association would cause a pause while ringing, it wouldn't play at all. If you choose any of your mp3 players it will play quite normally if you just played the file, the problem only occurs when the phone rings...
I've also know the problem can go away by it's self without messing around with different players/settings.
With my 663Mhz overclocked xdaIIi i can have over 4-5 different players and have them all play the same file at the same time with no problem, so it's not an overhead problem either....
I have also noticed this '5 second' rule too, this is not a file association problem!
Maybe too many dll's left over from trying various different programs?
It's strange how doing a hard reset and restoring from a backup that actually had the problem goes away! It should come back again theoretically.
I've never had the o2 interface installed on my device for nearly years and i tried lots of different programs to clean up my system (bad unistalls, leftover shortcuts, etc) but made no difference! :-(

Hey, I stumbled upon this site after having owned my qtek for a week now. First WM based phone that I have had that ive added various software to and basically had a bit of fun with. But without going on too much here I will list what questions/problems I have and hope someone can help. I’ll lst them here instead of creating multiple threads to save on clutter
My list
My phone often freezes up or switches off, is there a fault with the OS/device? The freezing up was happening before I ever installed a thing so I cant put it down to it being my fault for once =] ive checked for updates or posts about it but haven’t been able to find much that has helped. It ran a bit slow the first day i got it after having two prgrams running. i often check to make sure if i have fully closed down apps after using them
Is there any way to stop the Echo the receiver hears when I make or receive calls? This also occurs when using skype.
I brought an i-mate Pocket PC Headset Adaptor (2.5mm to 3.5mm headphone jack) so I could use my phone as an mp3 player when im out and about. The only problem is that the headphones I used (sony in ear bud things) only played sound out of the left speaker. I haven’t used the hands free headphones that came with the phone but they have a left and right speaker, so I need to install a driver or something as so I can hear sound out of both headphone speakers? if not thats 13notes down the trálét
What are the key procedures you should follow to optimise your pocket pc? Including regedits =]
ive seen that you can adjust the CPU speed, is it wise and if so, whats the best processing speed? Or is the “turbo speed” function any good? Does it cause freezing up or shorter hardware life span?
Setting profiles, do I really need to install something in order to customise
and change profiles?
If I wanted to develop my own programs, what software would I need and where can I get it for cheap/free?
Sorry for the long list, ive tried hunting for the info as best I can but obviously not done too well
Cheers for any responses with assistance/answers :thumbsup:

If you received the device and it was still running, chances are it's been operational a while and had numerous programs added & removed, will have fragmented memory etc. The best thing is to start with a cold hard reset (leave the main battery out for at least an hour to drain the backup battery) then start from scratch & set the device up. This cures about 75% if these kiind of ills. I'll assume you have it connected with activesync by now, so will have a backup of contacts & numbers etc.

I dont use mine for skype so couldnt comment. when doing a normal soft reset note down the numbers that come up on the starting screen: these are the update numbers of the various ROMS in the device - you may have an early 'buggy' rom and may wish to consider a flash upgrade - many of us have & it;s worth it for improved signal quality/reception & stability. you'll find all the answers you seek using the search tool

The adaptor I brought had the same problem at first. You will find the socket is slightly recessed, so a normal fat adaptor cant push in far enough into the socket to engage the contacts properly, hence the music in one ear only. Try out the built-in ones, and you should be able to see how the plug pushes in further because of it's slim dimensions. Either cut your adaptor down if possible or find a slimmer adaptor!

Turbo mode is slightly more responsive, and so should shorten battery life a small amount, but the screen chews up far more battery than running the CPU faster: try running a week on each setting and see if you notice a performace/quality difference. There are utilities to alter the CPU speed using registry tweaks: some of the settings will cause the PDA to lock requiring soft or sometimes hard resets. My personal take is to leave things be & run on turbo, ymmv.

Joe
First I'm sorry if there is something out there to help me with this that I over looked, but after weeks of going through several forums for various issues I am going to ask for help.
I've put PocketSNES 2.00 on my tilt along with a few roms. The roms are on the Tilt and PocketSNES is on my storage card. (I've tried to put it on the phone but when I run it I get, "the file POCKETSNES cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of it's components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file")
I've also installed tgetfile.ppc.arm.cab which I read somewhere that it was needed.
Well when I open the app then load the rom it takes its time to open. When it opens it runs extremely choppy. I would say it refreshs the screen every 20 to 30 seconds. I've fiddled with every setting I can, yet still super slow performance.
What am I doing wrong?
running it from a storage card i guess
there is something floating about on how to disable that security thing that will prolly let you install it on the main memory and that might just fix your issue
I cannot get the GBA emmy to run properly either - rather the buttons don't seem to do jack ****.
You can use SK Tools to get rid of that message or just find it in the registry yourself.
Ive been playing with nops pocket snes for the last few days with similar results. Very choppy, pretty much unplayable. One thing to remember is that you cant use the screen for controller buttons. Whenever you touch and hold it slows down to almost a stop. I use the keyboard for buttons.
I found it in the registry but it was already disabled. I'm pretty sure it was
hklm/security/certmod/allowuntrustedapps set to 1
There was another mention of changing 000101a in another folder but it was set to 1 as well.
Are you sure this SKTools will work on the Kaiser/Tilt. I tried it and it said that it was disabled. Lastly I found that the kaisertweak app had the option set to disable the error. Grrr
I just tried running it and the roms from main storage, still no good.
snes
I have pocket snes it runs perfect with no sound also have pocketnester(nes) pocketgnuboy(gameboy) and they all work perfect and you can sound working great too except on the snes. I have them all on my card 4gb sandisk and the roms are on the card as well. I have the tytn 2 stock rom with your basic tweaks. took them off my wizards memory card and just continued to play where I left off. also have pocketgba but its far from perfect and slow. u can probally google them. if u need more help just send me a pm if you need help with settings etc. also on the snes u can play perfect with no sound and run ur mp3s so its the emu that can't handle sound not the phone.
Sounds like another reason to go to the htc rom.
Yeah, I play with no sound, but that sux. I'm using the helmi rom, but also tried it with the HTC rom. I also have pocket nester working great.
I saw a method involving certifying the app but I think that might be beyond my scope.

Bad news the @ssholes at HTC still haven't managed to fix this problem - this has been a problem with ALL their 2.8" devices for TWO YEARS!!
Guys, I *really* hope you've been closely following my emulation-related Bibles in the General forum. If you don't want to search them one by one, you can find them all at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&cat=353
You might also want to give a try to alternative emulators to find out whether they're any good.

Hi!
When I listen to music on my Diamond the sound often lags. In other words, during music playback, I often get small brakes. Half a second of silence or something like that at random. It usually happens around 1-2 times each track. I get it both when I'm using the default player and when I'm using S2P.
I'm not running any other programs in the background when listening to music. My Diamond has the default Norwegian ROM.
I really hate this lag. Anyone with the same problem? How can I fix this?
Thanks!
Same problem here. But I get lags just every 10 minutes - German HTC Rom
Im pretty sure that EVERYONE using the diamond is suffering from this..
It's just that nobody seem to take this seriously... *sigh*
I got the stock 1.93 HK ROM.. and I got it in all the other ROMs previously.
Can some expert find out if there's an active process in the background that causes this?
I'm also having this really annoying problem.
At first I thought it was because of Coreplayer, but it seems all musicplayers are having this problem. Because I use the Diamond as my musicplayer when I go to work, I'd really like to get this fixed asap.
I'm having the same issue, on TLR 3. Dunno if the bug was there on other roms because I rearely play music on my diamond.
Yea.. I believe it's present in ALL ROMs..
Wonder does HTC know abt this...
Yep, same problem here, with various ROMs (1.93 as well). It's happening for me in ringtones as well (when playing solo but as well when I get a call). And with WMP and the HTC player.
A solution would really be welcome..
Thanks for all the replies. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm really hoping for a solution.
I tried playing 3 songs and I experienced no lag whatsoever until I got too adventurous. I switched on WiFi and open Internet Explorer and go to a website and the Diamond hanged on me.
I believe this is not only due to the ROMs but also due to hardware as well.
i also hate the loading time when opening music for the firs ttime after reboot..
i dont understand why is there a need to "buffer" music and lags the whole phone so badly..
is it loading the album or scaning for album artS?
i wrote a thread about this problem earlier.-
No1 has any solution for this.
Im still suffering lags.
I think it's a HTC problem.
Because I've had this problem on the p3300, Nike, and Diamond!

Never had this prob on the 3300 and Cruise.
It's just on the diamond.
HTC!! pls fix this up!!
I'm in Hong Kong, and my Diamond also have this problem
I dial to HTC care, and they said this is the known issue
and said will fix it later
But a later past ... past ... past
At the 23/July I saw the new firmware, and think maybe can fix this problem
However, no help ....
And I dial to HTC care again, they play one music to me on the phone and said no lag = ="
I said the phone will randomly sound lag, but within 5~6 songs must have one lag or above
Then he said, he will notice to HTC and I still need wait wait wait
Diamond said this cell phone is a multimedia cell phone, so If the music have a problem, and they can't fix
I guess we must keep going to post it, and gather all the post to HTC and let's all the world know
I really love the diamond, but can't accept this bug
Thanks
I had this on my Polaris and Nike, now I just got a Elf and haven't noticed it at all. Maybe a Qualcomm issue :S
We simply have to admit that HTC is unable to produce error-free phones.
I can assure that this bug is re-occurent on all Diamond devices - regardless which ROM you use.
The only difference is timing. Some get the drop-sound after average 1 inute- others have it only occasionaly.
i first thought it was a conversion error, or soft, but 4 mediaplayers I used result in the same bug.
And it doesn't look like the new build solved it indeed.
Check HTC E-club for a fix - (in 6-9 months or so) - or hope that one of our XDA goeroes can find a fix.
Suggest to make this thread a sticky as i is ineed one of the most famous known bugs of the Diamond. (or integrate it with other related threads)
Have same problem.
I have the same problem and it is annoying me like crazy. I noticed the problem gets much worse when using the audio booster - with it I get lags every couple of minutes, when I turn it off - I get them only every few songs or so. It's still not acceptable, tho. Maybe there's a way to tweak the sound buffer for WM in the registry? Increasing the buffer can probably help this...
I'm using SwiftBL 4.5 ROM, and this proplem has been reduced significantly!
Previously, these pauses occur randomly, and may happen twice at a time and for longer duration at a time.
Now with the SwiftBL4.5 ROM, I get it exactly every 5mins, and a very very slight disruption. It's definitely an improvement.
The fact that it happens exactly every 5mins, prolly means theres some processes causing this to happen in the background.... hmmm
I think that the problem is TOUCH FLOW 3D. When the time changes it happens I have seen it happen twice like that but it can also be coincidence. What I saw was. When the time changes from 01.09 to 01.10 it has to change to things. the 0 to the 1 and the 9 to the 0. And I think that is the problem. Then i kept music playing and was looking at the phone constantly then next time it happened was 01.29 to 01.30 this time it had to change the 2 to the 3 and the 9 to the 0. But the main thing is that he did not brake during the 01.19 to 01.20 change. I AM CONFUSED. IS THIS THE PROBLEM OR NOT. Can any of the devs look at this? or can anyone one try plying music with TF3D disabled?
Most of the time my music lags is when cell reception is going nuts.. like for instance if i'm on the train going through a tunnel, the cell reception will cut out and try to regain the reception.. i notice my music lag most when this happens.
Hello,
I now own my Kaiser for about one year (or a little less). But I'm still not satisfied about the overall speed of the device. I'm not talking about reading videos or playing games, just about "normal" use of the Kaiser.
For exemple, opening the HTC phone application (dial pad) takes around 3 seconds. Then, if I dial a number quickly, it "forget" some buttons I pushed. I need to dial my number slowly for the phone to take each button I push ... This is very frustrating !
Another exemple is going to landscape mode which takes 4 seconds ! And when it is in landscape, my Kaiser is like freezed for about 2 other seconds before I can use it.
A 3rd exemple, when answering calls: my Kaiser rings, I press the green button to answer, but it takes around 2-3 seconds before it does really answer. In the mean time, I sometimes loose my call, and this is really frustrating again !
I know I'm only talking about seconds, but I use my Kaiser a lot in a day, and these seconds become minutes ! And when I need to use my Kaiser quickly, these seconds appear much longer than they really are.
My ROM is the original HTC 6.1 ROM. My Kaiser is as light as possible (no Manilla 2D !), but it does not seem to be enough for my Kaiser to be fast.
I tried some cooked ROMS, but from what I experienced the HTC 6.1 is the faster. I also tweaked my Kaiser with all the informations I could find on this great forum (and KaiserTweak)
I would really enjoy an overclocker utility but it does not exist.
So, about you, are you satisfied with your Kaiser speed ?
Isn't there days where you would throw it against a wall because of these anoying lags ?
Thanks !
If this damn thing eats another microSD card I AM going to throw it against the wall. I'm getting tired of loosing my crap and having to re-do everything.
what about the speed of your ka
iser : is it ok for you ?
No complaints about the "speedyness" of the tilt after flashing to a good ROM. If another one fails I'm sending it back and demanding an upgrade to a Fuze tho.
i haven't had mine for very long but I got a little over-excited in the first few weeks and installed anything i could get my hands on. i just did a hard reset, followed by a soft reset to remove the bloatware, and i've noticed that my phone is a lot faster.
your problems do sound infuriating, have you tried backing up your data and wiping the slate clean?
Dear,
Same problems as yours... Using same rom from HTC !
Very slow phone for each task i need
Boring phone when hang-up or dialing, boring when using tt6 and now tt7 (too slow when driving in little streets, and sometimes truncating voices messages), and more generally, very very slow (and i do not speak about camera).
Sure, this version is really a big bug
Comparing to other kind of phones, even cheaper models runs better (camera better and faster, gps fix faster, gps available even in flight mode.
Usually, when opening keyboard, applications hangs due to the screen rotation, and become available a long time after
Definitively, a real diseapointing device.
I'm now waiting for the renewal of my phone contract to change for something better (sure that is not difficult to find)
Regards,
Laurent
I highly recommend flashing a custom rom.
The rom chef's have done a fantastic job tweaking them to run much faster than the stock roms. Try on and you'll never look back.
I'm currently using the Nov 15'th Hyperdragon Rom and I have virtually no complaints about the speed of the rom for day to day activities. M2D runs very smoothly and is much more friendly to your fingers than any of the stock roms I've used.

Thanks a lot ! i did the hard reset followed by the soft reset , then I restored my data : now my Kaiser goes faster ! thanks again !
I have the same issue, not that the kaiser is really slow, but when I compare it with a Wizard (both have custom roms) the Wizard does things a lot faster, like opening start menu, scrolling isn't laggy, change tabs is fast. No matter what rom I use on my kaiser, I can't get to the use speed of the Wizard. Maybe it is because I install programs on the SD instead of the phone itself?
Nothing to Compare to
I don't have anything to really compare to, but my Kaiser - Bloatware removed - seems to work well. My only real complaint is that ending a call with the touchscreen takes a few seconds, but the red end key ends it pretty quick. If there is a delay on some things, it is far outweighed by the functionality I feel I'm getting from my tilt. I use it as primary pc - email, web, movies, word, excel, etc..
I tell people it is a mini computer with a phone added on as an afterthought. That is why with comes with such a crappy phone interface. I downloaded a new skin and it looks and works excellent.

Call ending speed can be instant. Use Kaiser Tweak / Advanced Config tool to change this.
I noticed a marked improvement since I use some of the SKTools utilities like:
- Optimize! http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html
- FreeUP RAM Service http://s-k-tools.com/?m_freeuprams.html
- Registry optimization http://s-k-tools.com/?/sktools/m_regopt.html
It has many other features and you can download a trial. It's really worth a try.
dear all,
how can you say that the kaiser isnot slow ?
I use PIE to read this forum, this thread takes 30 to 40 sec to load for 470 kB, while it takes few seconds to dowload bigger files !
I only use pie,tt7 and outlook sync for contacts and appointments.
I also tested 3 roms and tried to tweak some settings, without getting a normal speed.
kaiser is definitively a slow computer with a phone.
basic phones are more responsives than kaiser on many bundled applications.
I do think that kaiser has a lake of something... Maybe some drivers are missing, because if you look at the internal chipset used inside the kaiser, it should very very more powerfull

Please enlighten me, because I hate this. I have to push the button multiples times to disconnect. I have SK Tools as well. It has many good features, unfortunately some of the things it recommends tweaking I have idea what those things are for. I need the cheat sheet for invalid registry entries and values.
I do experience what you describe and I've tried many different ROMs, right now I'm using Garmin.Dk 8 without Manila2d and all the "speed fixes" available.
It's just like that, it has Windows...
But on the other hand, I like that, because it makes it very customizable.
Depends on what you value most.

Hello,
seconds. Then, if I dial a number quickly, it "forget" some buttons I pushed. I need to dial my number slowly for the phone to take each button I push ... This is very frustrating !Thanks !

I had the same issue with dialing numbers. It pissed me off so much I bought an iPhone. I don't have issues with dialing numbers now. I really miss running custom ROMs though.
The iPhone has a lot of other issues, I put up with them because the web browsing experience is better and I can dial without loosing numbers. I wish HTC would get it together, they are very close... I tried a Sprint HTC Touch Pro for a couple of days and couldn't get used to the missing dpad.

And you just hang around the Kaiser forum with your iPhone 'cause you miss us?
dear Spaul,
Windows is not the problem... Other htc phones have Windows and are fast. i.e. TYTN I is faster !
Problem is software, maybe drivers or hardware layer

He has to keep up because he realizes the other 99% of the WM functionality is missing on his new phone and he'll want to come back.
Same thing here
Yeah I experience exactly the same things with mine. I'm not going out the custom ROM path, since it's a company phone. After having tried all sorts of things, I've kind of just accepted its slowness.
But one thing is for sure. After using first the s710, and the the tytn-ii, I'm 95% sure that my next phone is not going to be a HTC, unless I see some very convincing real life demo of the device.
Hi Guys,
I do have a really strange problem with my Galaxy S i9000. It randomly plays music by itself without opening any player. I can never know when it starts and even if I kill all tasks and most of the services (all I can) it won't stop. If I open the player it does not show any active playback. I can stop the playback if I slide down the upper status bar. I also can adjust the playback volume normally but it is very loud even on the lowest level.
In fact, it is always the same song (no mp3, it's a FLAC) which is located here:
/mnt/sdcard/external_sd/MP3/Paul Kalkbrenner...Berlin_Calling(FLAC)/14...
Some guys in a Moto Droid Forum already experienced the same problem with 2.1:
hXXp://androidforums.com/motorola-milestone/64497-music-playing-itself.html
I have no idea what I can do. I did not test/hack a lot and the phone is set up pretty fresh and clean.
Froyo 2.2 (JP6) flashed with Kies RegHack
Root done with ]SuperOneClick v1.5
OCLF V2+
All installed Apps are major ones and well know. So nothing special, spectacular or risky. Does anybody know what the root cause of the problem could be?
I do hope there are some ideas what I could do. Of course I could uninstall the built in player, move or delete the file but that wouldn't be a "real" solution or explain what happens. Please help! Thank you.
Best regards,
DvP
related issue
weirdly enough I had a variant of this until very recently, when it just suddenly stopped happening.
In my case, the music player would repeatedly restart itself, although it wouldn't actually be playing a track. By repeatedly I mean every time I picked the phone up I'd check running apps and find the music player there. This was on a brand new, completely un-tampered-with phone.
I went to JPM via Odin recently and rooted the phone and then the behaviour stopped.
Is there any way how I can find out which process is playing the music? I could try to make a video when the song runs again to show that no application is running at all if that helps :-/
