General operation speed of HTC S730

I think the operation speed of the HTC S730 is not a disaster, but just annoying. Basic things like opening the contacts or the Commanager etc. take FAR too long. I always use FreeRAM and other tools, keeping the free RAM at a maximum. But still... the speed is really annoying.
Are there any tweaks for a general faster reacting HTC S730? I mean it got 400MHZ!!!IT's supposed to be faster than that. I mean even opnening the slider needs like 3 seconds to adjust the screen. How is this possible with a Smartphone of 400MHZ. My stupid (old) Samsung slider reacts in 0.3 seconds after opening the slider, it got 15MHZ.
I MEAN PEOPLE, WTF
Please help

mm
I think it performs ok. This is my first device running any form of mobile windows so i dont have much to compare to. But all over im happy with it.
The one thing that does anoy me is the quality of the camera. I really thought the 2mp camera would be better. If you sneeze while taking a picture its all one big blur. People have to stand 100% still. Thank fook i didnt get it for the camera, hehehe

Waiting 3 seconds to adjust the screen after opening qwerty keyboard is ok. Have you ever had any other smartphone? On the Vox (S710) it take much longer (it's depending on what programs are running but basically it's slower).
I have used Vox for some time and the processor was really slow... rendering pages in IE, painting system graphics on lanscape was slow... I really think the 400 MHz makes Wings way faster.
BTW: Here's my little comparison benchmark.

why is my htc slower than urs?

I killed all running programs and processes before banchmarking. (And maybe switched to airplane mode but Im not sure)

okay, this is it then.
thx
btw i added u on msn, accept.

Help! Storage memory slow as hell

I had feeling that my X1 is responding slow, so i run benchmark with SKTools. I found results much lower than it should be:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Also when i click on windows folder it takes about minute to open it (while taking few seconds on friend X1). I applied all tweaks from Turbo Speed X1 thread, but i dont exclude option i messed up something when applying tweaks. Rom is stock.
Any ideas?

going into windows always takes a long time but only the first time one do it
so be sure that your friend didn't just cheat you
make him softreset it and then go into \windows

I tried myself on his X1 and it was taking long, no matter if i do soft reset or not.

Hi,
the benchmark with my X1 is similar to yours (a little bit faster)
main write 1950,48 kB/sec
main read 6137,86 kB/sec
card write 786,68 kB/sec
card read 6578,16 kB/sec

Here is only ONE solution:
FLASH with 6.1 [official] ROM and use tweaks for it.
After advanced conf tool

What a relief . But then why is SKTools reference information so high?

Which ROM is that?

[APP] Minfreemem settings

I have looked around to see if there were any other substantial methods to adjust the way memory was dealt with in the galaxy S. After using the phone throughout the day I do notice it bogging down to a crawl, even to open the messaging app. Now I did read in the development section about the recompiled libdvm.so for froyo. But I'm not getting ahead of myself since the file is still in testing. For immediate results I've been tinkering with Minfreemem.
If you don't know what it is, here's a run down by android central.
http://www.androidcentral.com/fine-tuning-minfree-settings-improving-androids-multi-tasking
It adjusts the way android allocates ram to specific applications running or in background. Now other forums have some information about settings and which is best, but I havent dug up much info for the galaxy. The app itself has presets and those work well. The only thing that bothers me is the presets are a bit outdated and not configured for any specific phone in mind. The screenshot below is just an example of default settings on a phone running HTC sense. My default settings running Quantium 2.7 rom was different.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
After messing around for a while and looking up if anyone was using "similar apps" for the nexus S so i can test out their settings. I came only to some japanese site where the translation didnt work out very well...
So here is my settings I been using for an hour, notice the presets do show a lot of empty ram "96" to speed things up without bugging down. I believe that unused ram is wasted ram.
Foreground: 14
Visible: 28
Secondary: 32
Hidden: 32
Content provider: 64
Empty app: 32
with these settings I was able to toggle back and forth from apps without reloading. Especially the gallery, that tends to slow down quite often. Opening new apps was smooth and switching back to threads and contact lists were good as well.
I want to quote the article at android central
I want to stress -- there is nothing wrong with the way Android handles this out of the box. It's efficient, works well every time, and keeps things stable. It's our meddling and the need for instant gratification that is the real issue. Waiting .3 seconds longer never killed anyone. But I'm just as guilty as anyone else, and want immediate results too, so let's do it!
If you have anything to contribute thats "informational" please do.

RAM Hog?

I just got mine today and have a minimum of apps installed. I hope this isn't normal RAM usage. Also, what is the icon next to the 4G LTE icon?

Don't worry about RAM. Android will automatically expand and contract the space available for applications in the background without worry. Think about it like this:
You have 50 processes/applications running taking up 500MB of RAM allotted to 10MB per process. When you have to utilize say one of those processes and it needs 150mb of ram to run properly your device has to call that process, expand that process and then contract it once your done using it. (or the system is done using it). That takes unnecessary battery and time.
What Android does is let that application/process that needs 150MB of RAM to run, have it if there isn't an issue (maxing available ram) so when it is needed it doesnt have to expand and contract. When you open a large app or game and it needs more then is available the system will automatically close down and slim RAM usage, but only when it is needed.
What does this mean to you? 99% of the time you will NEVER notice that 80%+ of your RAM is being used. But if you start closing or restricting applications to small sizes (trying to keep RAM usage to a minimum) you will absolutely notice it as it takes more time to load up things like recent applications, respond to a home button press or open an application.

That is the NFC icon. It means you have NFC turned on.

if you want a fast, smooth, lighting response phone, it will use up tons of RAM. You dont 'need to care about ram use unless you run out of it completely and notice lag. as long as the phone is not lagging then you don't need to check ram at all, it's high usage is necessary for a fast smooth phone.

Storage issues

Recently, I have been trying to download some games and after 3 years of having this phone, I got a warning that my storage was full. I never bothered to check the storage of the device since I got it since I thought I wouldn't need to check it.
It said my storage was almost full, meanwhile I tried to analyze the storage files and apps and all that with 3 different apps (File Manager of Asus, Google FIles and SDmaid), and all my files occupy less than 40gb while my device says the total amount of storage my phone has is 128gb. I barely have any apps that occupy too much space on it. Also to note, this isnt the Tencent version, it's the WW, never flashed ROM on it, it runs the latest OS from Asus. How is that possible? Here is an example:

Hi, it's strange that 0b is showing for applications... The only thing I can recommend is to delete everything you don't need on your phone. "Other" takes up almost 19GB. Try to remove it somehow. I know you probably expected a different answer, but this is my solution :/ or you can reset the phone to factory settings and everything will be deleted on your phone and you will have a completely clean phone again like when you turned it on for the first time. Don't forget to back up your photos, contacts and everything you need.
