Anyone have this issue that after a soft-reset, when you try to scroll the program folder, it lags a bit before the icons show up? But once you 'load' the icons, the next times you access the icon it will be perfectly smooth. Is this normal, or am I the only one experiencing this?
Yes it is normal. The problematic ones are those large programes (program with large EXE) in your SD card that thats a bit long to load. Once loaded into the cache, it will be alright. Try creating a seperate folder for those large programs that you seldom use, or use a method of using a different icon for large programs. Do a search.

I encounter a problem when i wan to select different input method. It's so slow to show the menu after i tick the arrow, it's about 5-7 second before it shows up the menu. How to speed it up?
I really do not have an explanation for this but it was like you said 5 - 6 seconds slow my HTC Touch as well.
The other day I wanted to try out a program so I did a complete backup with SPB Backup. After trying out the program I did a hard reset and restored using SPB Backup. Since then the selection has speeded up and now it takes hardly 1 second for the selection list to appear after I have pressed the small triangle on the right side of the SIP icon.
Before I did the backup I also had Cootek's TouchPal installed on my system which was obviously restored as well.
The above is just an observation for which I do not have an explanation. Ideally the SPB Backup should have restored my system to an exact similar state that it was prior to the backup which means that the selection should have continued to remain slow.

You can try:
Export the registry - CSID and import it again,
using Resco registry
A Few things I recommend
The first would be install omapclock if you don't have something like it already. A setting between 240 - 264 puts most devices safely on crank....
Monitor that along with open running programs. If you have a lot opened but minimized, that will cause the processor to have to free up before it will cycle through the menu selections on the keyboard. You can use oxias memory program called "OxiasMemory". It is a cab file and you can google this site or that name and immediately get a hit. Two programs in the download. One is a kill all running programs which I use rarely, the other is a memory release that will actually dump the ROM cache for programs you have closed out, not just minimized. Remember, windows mobile keeps a small cache open that normally closes out after a long time(hours) of not using a program even if you completely killed the task or you would have to reboot to get it. This program handles it without the reboot.
Use "Sipchanger"(you can search this site or google it). It is a small program, I want to say about 15-20k, that will overide the SIP on your device and run your SIP. Once installed don't forget to reboot and then you can find it under your programs tab.
Anytime you get issues like these they are due to slow performance of the processor. Usually getting bogged down with other more important and more frequantly used apps. Freeing up that processor to do work by offloading the ROM seems to do the trick.
Happy using!!!!!!!!!
Curious George
My storage memory seems to steadily but significantly grow and grow. It is now at 98% full and I can't find any space. Normally after a hard reset and installing all of my data and apps this figure is in the 80% range. I do keep my temporary internet files cleaned out by removing everything from Windows\Profiles\guest\Temporary Internet Files which can generally free up a very large amount of space, say 10+ MB or so. The obvious additional pieces of information are:
-no new large files added
-quite a few SMSs - but not a thousand, maybe 50-200 total
-no new programs installed
-the mystery bloat seems to be in the Windows directory which is now 138MB (seems odd) as reported by Resco Explorer
I have used find large files feature and have thoroughly browsed my Windows directory and just can not find the large file(s) causing this. Could this be some kind of memory leak? This is the second time this has happened and the last time I resorted to a hard reset which drastically improved the problem (got rid of it and got me back down to the 80% level again which it seemed to stay at for quite some time). I really do not want to get in this mandatory endless hard reseting loop.
BTW: AT&T device and ROM, bloatware removed by reset during bloatware installation at start up. Any advice greatly appreciated.
you sure your removing the PIE cache by opening PIE and selecting to clear history and delete files by going to tools/options in PIE? thats the most common place you get internal memory getting eaten up. ive had 40mb go through PIe because i forgot to delete the files through the PIE settings
Thanks. Emptying that directory does the same thing. Just to be sure I did that anyway. No change. At 96% now. Ugh.
Give us a list of...
Device, is it a stock AT&T Tilt or one of the beta's we are hearing about?
Firmware, items shown on startup from soft reset!
Installed Apps/Cabs,
cause you could have something storing log files that you don't know about!
then we can have a reference of where to go!
OK here goes...
R 1.27.12.11 (std AT&T)
G 22.45.88.07H
D 1.57.00.00
Aps (in addition to std. ROM):
Opera
G Maps
Resco Expl+Today
TT6
iGuidance4
PC MAME
Calc98
Kaiser Notification (LED control)
TCPMP
World Card Mobile
Weather to Go (Tonaya)
MS Voice Com.
MS Live Search
Flash Video Bundle
Thanks again!
Look for a file named Today in the Windows directory. I noticed this on my Tilt ROM and it was steadily growing. It's safe to delete.
Also check your email, this can grow rapidly if you get attachments.

Does google maps save it's map cache to the storage card? I thought it didn't. If not, that would likely cause your memory to drop if you use google maps a lot.
Thanks so much guys.
@URPREY: The only file like that is Today_Order_23Jul07.cab and it is a whopping 3kB
@?Glitch: I only use SMS not MMS not e-mail, I think these guys are pretty darn small.
@snoogisnguy: I thought google maps downloaded everything it needed sort of in real time and cleaned stuff up in real time as well. Can you point me to a directory to examine for large files?
Bribe
OK hate to resort to a "bribe", but this problem is killing me. $25 to the person who can solve it. I'd be happy to simply make another donation to the forum as well.
Google maps keeps almost everything it downloads, if you use that a lot that would be my first guess.
check My device/application data/GoogleMaps and the file cashe-GLM.
Mine's about 2M and i rarely use it.
Try memmaid from Dinarsoft. It can evaluate your storage usage, including the google cache and tell you what is taking up the space. It's got a free 15 day trial.

hard reset and start again... might be an issue that you may never find
on another note, why dont you sync up to windows and check the file/folder size of each one you have... theres not that many and so it should only take a few minutes
atleast that way you can narrow it down to what area of your phone is taking up so much memory... and then narrow it down to a file hopefully
just an idea

Which file explorer did you use to check? The file that was on mine was a hidden file and had no extension so I only saw it with Total Commander. It grew very quickly and I had to delete it several time. I believe it was a cache file for the today screen. I use an RSS today plugin and I think that's what caused it. I have no issues after changing to a cooked ROM.

Thanks guys! All of the other suggestions, although great ideas, turned out to not be the culprit. The one above, with some more detective work was the winner. Memmaid located a folder called ~Recycled that was 15+ MB. It is a bug (or maybe even a "feature") in Resco Explorer that it does not show this directory ewven when you check show everything such as hidden, system, in ROM, etc. This directory held some files that were cached images from web browsing as well as other unidentifiable files. Memmaid also nicely deleted the entire directory. All was well until I got a bit too aggressive and used Memmaid to move all of the application caches to the memory card. This made my system very unstable, slow and almost unuseable. Luckily I could get back in Memmaid and undo those changes. Anyway a bit of a long struggle but finally this very annoying and crippling problem is solved. I really hope this thread helps out others with a similar problem.
As a follow up question does anyone know how to prevent such bloat in this directory in the first place? Seems like a very crippling feature of WM wihtout access to this directory.
dunneldeen: Was your suggestion enough of a solution that you want the "bribe" money? Thanks again either way!
You simply have to remove "recycle bin" feature from Resco Explorer settings, so your files will be deleted as soon as you do it and they will doesn't go to the recycle bin that in theory you have to empty manually, like your do with the one on your PC.
The black/scrambled icons are caused by a bug in TF3D that affects the icons when first loading them into memory. If they are rendered before TF3D loads, they render fine. So, depending on how often you reset your device, this may be a workable workaround for some of you. I have found that if you run an app in your startup folder (I run Salling Clicker, but I doubt that it matters what app), then the application will launch on Windows Startup and you won't be taken to the Today screen, meaning the TF3D app won't launch. Before going to the Today screen (and thus launch TF3D), first go to your Programs folder (Start - Programs), and be sure to click on any sub-folders, just to make sure you load all icons. Then you can go to your Today screen, let TF3D load, and your icons will all look fine until your next reboot. It isn't perfect, but it is a quick and dirty workaround that does seem to work - for me anyway.
yea, another way is also to switch off Touch FLo 3D from your today items. Soft reset, Load all icons, switch on Touch Flo 3D.
I guess it is a timing thing. For me, it is faster to just go to Start-Programs, as I want Salling Clicker to run on startup all the time anyway. It would be a waste of time to turn of TF3D every time I reboot...
I am a pharmacist so....
I just load my favorite pharmacy program and your right they do work - but I organize all my icons...I have games, medical, pharmacy, system and utilites folders where I keep all my icons....the funny thing is I have to actually start the diamond with the pharmacy program in the startup folder then I have to actually open all folders and look at the perfect icons then I can start tf3d and all is good.....
BUT if I do not open every folder and I do have sub folders then the icons are all screwed up again....what i am saying if i just startup regularly and the pharmacy progy starts then I close the program and tf3d starts up if I did not open the folders and actually see the icons are normal they will still be screwed up....go f))king figure this one out.....
When I close a Word Mobile or RTF-file there is a delay in 20-30 seconds. If I have made any changes and save them insted, it´s the the same result, but then there is the extra time for saving as well.
This problem appeared a couple of weeks after I saved several Word-documents to RTF-format.
The resaon to save them in RTF-format is that it takes 1 second to open and save them instead of 30 seconds to do the same thing with Word-Mobile documents.
I did a hard reset and the problem dissapeared (for about a month) but now I´m back in the same situation.
There is a lot of work involved in doing a hard reset on my part (many, many settings), so does anyone else have a solution?
/Danne
does this happen if the RTF file is on the phone memory and not mini sd
Also, do you have a lot of documents on the device?
When you close a Word file, it brings you back to the file listing that shows all of the Word-openable files on your device. If you have a lot it can take a while to generate that list.
You can cut this down somewhat by filtering the files. Menu > Options > Display in List view:
I have around 60 files that are not default on Kaiser (90% of them are Word-files and 10% RTF-files). All of them are saved on Kaisers own memory and not any memory card.
I now copied one of the RTF-files to the memory card and tried to open and close it from there but the problem with the delay was still there (no soft reset in between).
When I close a Word-file I wind up wherever I had opened before (usually the File Explorer).
I never open Word or RTF-files from Word. I open them from the File Explorer from folders I have created. But the problem still persists even if I open them from Word and it´s list.
I don´t know if it makes any difference but I have set my PC to open RTF-files with Word, so I edit them with Word on my computer.
And as said, it works fine without delay for three weeks and then the delay starts. Frustrating.
And hard reset with all my settings takes 4-5 hours to fix.
/Danne
Solutions?
Isn´t it possible to reset only Word Mobile?
That´s the only program that causes problems.
Or can I copy some file/files or something after hard reset that concernes Word Mobiles default "settings", maybe some kind of template, and put them in a safe place. And then, when the problems set in, I can paste it over the by then problematic "files"?
I don´t want to to a hard reset every three weeks.
I was so glad when it worked with RTF-files because Word Mobile is so damn slow with regular Word-files that it´s ridiculous. Why is Hermes, Kaiser and Raphael equally slow with Word-files? One would expect improvements over the years.
during the past few days, the diamond has been telling me that space in the main memory is going low. i go and see that there is only about 1.6 mb left. i usually install programs in the 4gb memory so i don't think those are programs. does opera leave cookies and other browser data in the main memory? what else should i delete to free up space?
Memory eater...

Opera eats LOADS of storage memory, as does Google Maps and lots of other stuff. There are a number of free apps available to clean up your device, but I find the best way is to just soft-reset. All the TEMP stuff is cleared away, and the device is free to run again!
Search the 'Themes, Applications and Software' forum for 'Clear Temp', or 'Clear RAM'... something like that!?
Free Memory on HTC Diamond
I had the same problem and it was my Outlook Mail. I synch with the office and had thousands of emails in my In and Outboxes. Delete from your outlook account on your PC/Laptopn and then resynch. You may need to delete from your device as there may not be enough room left to perform a synch.
Hope that helps
the first thing i did was a soft reset via the red button on the back but the remaining memory stayed the same. also i don't have al ot of email in my inbox. they are usually all deleted
i've been having this problem too, and now my touchflo won't even start up, and the phone has become really really slow. it takes ten minutes to just load a text to read. and right now i can't call anyone and they can't call me....if i do a soft reset, will my contacts be lost?
soft reset is a simple reset, your contacts won't be deleye, but if you do a hard reset, you loose all contacts, setting...
ok thanks, i'll try a soft reset and see what happens. i havent found an answer to my problems using the google search for this site though....
i can't even connect with active sync
Here are some tips:
1. Opera. Press the button at the bottom right and go into "Settings". Then "Privacy", then "Delete Cache". Sometimes the clear temp programs don't find the memory that Opera stores unless you have set them up correctly.
2. Use file explorer to see if you can go into the My Device/My Documents/My Pictures and see if there are any pictures you don't mind deleting. Also, while you are there also check My Music, and My Videos folders. Delete anything you don't want or relocate them into Internal Storage.
3. You can check to see if your Outlook (e-mails, contacts, calendar etc) has too much data. Check this on My Device using File Explorer. You can see a file called pim.vol. I have 2000 calendar appointments, 400 contacts and no e-mails/sms' and mine is 5.25MB in size. I think this is about right. If you have a silly amount of memory in this, then you do have something in Outlook you could delete....
4. Use a program like MemMaid, SKTools or Clear Temp to clean up bad links, registry etc.
5. Google Maps may take up 2MB or so. I think it is limited to around this amount.
6. Use Pocket Mechanic or similar to relocate installed programs to Internal Storage. Note though that some programs still will keep some files on the device memory so you cannot free up all of the memory.
7. Use MemMaid to check to see where all your storage has gone. This has a very good application to show you exactly where it is and also linked to the file explorer so it is easy to go to the offending file and delete it.
8. It is better to back up your phone first just incase you delete anything you shouldn't have.....
9. Flash a new ROM. I use Cloudy's 1.1 one. It is great. He has made two and they both leave you with a lot of free memory. I have many installed programs (mostly on Internal Storage) and I still have over 50MB of free ROM and RAM....
10. Use Diamond Tweak to disable the HTC dialer and use the Windows Dialer instead. I think this will save you about 2MB or RAM. It may not look quite as nice, but you can tart it up a bit with a new dialer skin....
Good luck
