Hi all,
First post here for me Got my TyTN II a few days ago and I'm loving it. It's such a nice phone and has a great build quality.
The only big thing that I find disappointing is the speed of the device. My previous phone was an HTC Wizard and my TyTN II is supposed to be literally double the speed of it, but there's no way it feels like that. In fact the Wizard, when overclocked with BatteryStatus to about 260Mhz) seems faster than this new beast (at times).
The things I particularly notice the slow speed with are...
- opening the keyboard (switching from portrait to landscape mode seems to take 2-3 times as long as with the Wizard)
- navigating (scrolling) through the list of Programs just seems sluggish compared to my [overclocked] Wizard
Another peculiar thing I've noticed is the speed of the "view finder" in the camera. It seems sluggish to the EXTREME, almost like a "night mode" is permanently on! I've noticed that sometimes putting the device in to standby and waking it back up gets the view finder running at "full speed" (what I would say looks like 25-30 fps).
Anyone got a clue what I'm talking about?

Did you add any applications (which may not be 100% compatible) after getting the machine? I had a Wizard too and am waiting for the TyTN II to come, but with the Wizard certain applications slowed the phone down much!

Well yeah, I've loaded it with a ton of rubbish now but in all honesty I noticed the slow down when I first took the machine out of the box.
The camera preview/view finder is particularly puzzling!
I've just put BatteryStatus on (a) to see if the CPU is constantly working and (b) with the hope to overclock it a little. I've just noticed that it doesn't support the TyTYN II processor tho so that's out of the window!
Once a new cooked and "polished" ROM comes out for your Kaiser, it will work faster. Almost every first official ROM is buggy and sluggish. it's not the hardware, it's the software.
One reason why I don't buy a device on it's first release.
About the camera preview/view finder slowness, it is due to not enough light in the room.
I was puzzled also. I tought I got faulty device.
Try to use it outdoor, it is very good when it has enough light.

Well, this surprises me. Mine is very fast and in particular for those things you mention!! Screen orientation for example is virtually instantaneous (maybe 1 to 2 seconds compared with TyTn that could take 5 to 20 seconds) and scrolling (with the exception of PIE) is smooth and fast. From standby by to on is less than a second. Compared with the TyTn the camera on 2mg is much faster as well.
Not sure where that leaves us then, if you say it was like that out of the box. That does not sound like it's something you have loaded, but might be worth re-checking that with a hard reset.
I notice a suggestion above that a new ROM might be faster. I really question that because as I say my ROM (presumably the same as yours) is very fast and the single most impressive thing about the device!
In your situation - I would seriously consider a hard reset to be sure it was a good installation. If problems persist, I would be tempted to look at a replacement as that slowness is not normal.

That was certainly true with the TyTn, but my Kaiser (unbranded) is superbly fast. Virtually instant switch on screen rotation scrolling (except PIE), so I'm not at all convinced this is the problem in this case.

Hi
Main reason for making a device slow is running apps from the memory card. Especially if they are there in the background. Make sure that everything on your today screen and everything that runs more often is on the main memory. Storage card is good for instlations of everything you use and then close (e.g. SatNav, Camera apps etc.)
Kaiser is running extremly faster than anything else.

GOOD point! Not sure if the OP does this automatically as we all should, it's easy to overlook the obvious sometimes!

same experience
Hi - I too am having the same problems described above regarding the slowness. I'm using the default HTC installed rom (1.56.405.5).
Were you able to solve the slowness issue? If so, how?
Thanks.
I'm having an odd slowdown issue. Everything runs incredibly fast pretty much 90% of the time except when I'm syncing. Everything on the device slows to a crawl and it takes forever for activesync to finish its business. This occurs both when I'm syncing via the USB cable and when I'm doing it via bluetooth. Any ideas?
Bellfazar, the exact same thing happens to me too... I'm using Vista btw.
Plus i have a serious slowdown after softreset (so maybe it's software related, don't have time for hardreset), but after a minute or so, its fast again

After a soft reset, the phone has to load everything in memory for the first time.. So accessing the Programs window or the start menu the first time takes a while. Accessing it for the second time, everthing is already loaded into memory and fast again...
Is there not a powertool for WM6 which can help us disabling stuff?
You can use Startup Manager by Baniaczek to disable items that start at warm reboot. Or remove them manually from the WINDOWS\Startup folder
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=262476
And use HTC Task Manager to kill running applications and/or close them when closing an app instead of minimising it...

sometimes since the new kaiser tweak version i can see (batterystatus) that my processor keeps running at 100%. everything slows down. even a soft reset does not help. when i soft reset without my storage card everything is fine but as soon as i insert the card 100%. man this sucks.

Yeah, I can imagine! Especially when it seems you're the only one (or at least the first that complains). I don't mind trying to help you, but you'll have to answer some questions first:
1. What KaiserTweak.exe (time/date of file) and KaiserTweak.xml (time/date of file, or name of zip-file you downloaded) versions did you load?
2. What tweaks did you use after implementing the new version?
Regards,
Nika.
i never said it was the kaiser tweak nor do i think thats the problem. i restored to a backup from a week before and this still (sometimes happens). so you got me. When i figure this out i will let you know.

Try Q-Mobile 1.11 it is the fastest ROM I have ever used.
I just got a Diamond (XDA Ignito radio 05, os 19965, rom 1.93.206.6 WWE)
I was shocked at how slow and laggy it was.
I have had loads of HTC and other winCe devices before and was amazed at how bad the software was for such a powerfull device (192mb ram, 528mhz cpu, etc.)
I immediately started to decide which ROM I wanted to upgrade to.
anyhow, after a day of usage its become inexpicably faster, even slick. It still has lags and it still is not what I would expect for the spec., but its perfectly usable now.
anyone else had this experience ? am I completely mad ?
I still want to upgrade to a faster ROM (any suggestions for the fastest), but I am not panicing so much now.
seems like real weird behaviour.
yes.
the ROMs have to 'bed in', once it has cashed files etc it will be quicker. You will find this happens after flashing.
I would recommend Dutty's 2.8, if you just want a quicker stable ROM. Using Wildberry atm, seems good. has some prettier touches to it
Hi
I have been using Tracky for a while and never got it to run smooth on WM6.0/WM6.1
Here is a mail I sent the developer:
"I have one problem with it:
When it has been running for a while, it gets incredible slow. It still works, but get very unresponsive to user inputs. And it slows down the hole system as well.
Disabling GPS, online services, map and POIs does not solve the problem.
If I restart Tracky, it will run smooth again. But I cannot do that while recording a track...
Device is TyTN2. Running latest WM 6.1"
After some testing I found that disabling TouchFlo helped a lot. Tracky would run fine, but the system was slowed down. Everything that was cached was running fine, but the file system was slowed badly down.
Yesterday I flashed joshkoss WM6.5 21501 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493044 and now everything is running perfect
QUESTIONS:
Has anybody experienced similar problems ?
Has Tracky ever been able to run smooth on the Kaiser ?

I've now been running official non-hacked 6.5 ROM for the duration it's been out officially.
- Performance is worse than 6.1, esp on the Manila interface I use
- I've had 2 hard crashes (had to pull out the battery)
- many screen drawing glitches
- several times needed to restart the phone, because some part stopped working properly
- missed too many calls / messages to count
Now, my phone was working reasonably ok with 6.1. haven't dropped it a single time.
Only system level app / tweak I've installed is Pocket Shield 3.2 (and NetCF 3.5 which is reguired).
Is there anything that could be done to make the 6.5 more stable? Any tips?
Or, is there an unofficial ROM that people have found to be more *more stable* than the official (heaven forbid)?
I'm getting really bored with this phone and am ready to toss it, if I can't get it running properly anymore. This is daily tool for me, not a toy, so I'm rather non-plussed that the upgrade was this bad.
People here actually run stock ROMs?
I think that what you'll find depends entirely on you. The stock ROM I ran was OK. Bit of a memory hog, rather bloated for my taste, but ran pretty smoothly and seemed stable. So, either we have different tastes (and we do), we ran different stock ROMs (definitely seems the case), or both. I'm betting both.
Improving the stability of a stock ROM? Yeah, that's kinda what the chefs here do when they cook up a ROM. I suppose you could probably get serious about tweaking it and playing with things....but why? Go flash a few ROMs, and find one that suits you and your needs. I have yet to see a ROM that's worse than stock. (Well, in the Kaiser days there was one....lol, but it thankfully never was posted on XDA.)
I didn't see if you specified which OEM ROM you have been using. I'm using the TILT 2 (ATT) Stock ROM for about a week and it is very stable and responsive. It, like all ATT ROMs, is very bloated leaving limited memory, but I have yet to have a problem due to out of memory issues.
So far, I am quite impressed, as this is not what I have become accustomed to with AT&T bloat ROMs.
I have upgraded the radio, as when I unlocked had to reflash it. In fact, I have been so impressed with the stock, that I have been reluctant to reflash it at this point. I haven't looked in to doing the hard reset or soft reset other than with the power button.
What apps have you loaded on top of the stock ROM? Maybe you have loaded something that doesn't play well?
I haven't been a ROM user yet on the Rhodium forum, but I know that I had very good success with NRG's ROMs on the Fuze and he is cooking here now as well. I'm sure there are some other very nice ROMs.
Also, have you tried a hard reset?
v/r
try one of the non stock 6.5 218xx builds that are cooked up by the chefs here, they tend to be way more stable and responsive than the stock roms. im having a great time with miri's rom
Thanks for all the replies.
The bug lists for almost all non-stock ROMs have scared me away so far.
I don't want a bleeding edge ROM. I wish for a stable one and the stock was a horrible disappointment.
I start pruning down my installs. I have had very little on top of the STOCK. Just Pocket Shield and couple off non-resident apps (mini opera, etc).
Now I'll just zap the whole phone and start from scratch with nothing on it.
Maybe it'll stop crashing.

Agree with you. i am using WM6.5 Official HTC Europe Version, same problem
I've been running the Timor.7.1 optimized T-Mobile ROM for 2 days straight with absolutely no issues at all.
I previous had the AthineOS rom and NRG and some other rom and they were unstable except the NRG rom, I just dind't like the NRG rom.
Im happy with my phone
vasra, you haven't listed where you are, which carrier or which version of the Rhodium you're using.
If you've got a Tilt2 I'd recomend At0mAng's Fusion V6.0 HTC Sense 2.1 ATT Version
He said V6.0 will be out later today. That's is probably the best At&t rom out at the moment.
My advice, go back to 6.1, there are no perfect roms on this forum. Always something here and there, you have to flash almost all of them and find what works best for you. For example some ppl was reporting some prob with energy rom regarding video call, since Im in the U.S. and we dont have that so to me its not a bug, just an example. So find what works for u, dont listen too much to what bugs are being report by users all over the world, if you cant do that, go back to 6.1
Thanks for all the replies again.
I'm on WWE / Euro English GSM/3G ROMs, phone bought in the Netherlands, but used all over Europe.
BTW, I wasn't aware I can go back to 6.1. How can I do this?
I think I'll test a couple of the builder ROMs, once an 'official' 6.5.1 ships, which I hope fill fix some of the 6.5 official bugs.
I also uninstalled Pocket Shield completely, which took away some of the problems I was having, but not all. Plus now I have to be content with the inane built-in "lock" system of 6.5. Grrrrr...
the HTC 6.5 rom comes with alot of apps you never going to use (well some people)
the Timo rom that is 6.5 posted here on the forum he just removed alot of microsoft apps and twerk it a lil bit..
You should try
the touch sense 2.0 b rom, very fast, energy rom is very slow
The HTC Official 6.5 ROM is the best ROM I've run. Fast, Smooth, Stable. Sure it uses more RAM and has more apps installed by default but who cares if cooked ROMs use less RAM and have less crap on them if they're constantly crashing and not operating properly. No offense to all the brilliant cooks out there, your ROMs are much cleaner and tidier than the default ROMs, but until I see a cooked ROM that doesn't fully drain my battery within 12 hours (every cooked ROM I've used does this) and is bug free, I'll be sticking to the official HTC ROM.
I'm using the Topaz 2.53 Stock rom Sense 2.5 with 2.1 Messaging (OS 5.2.21887 Manila 2.5.20113030.0) for almost a year now.
For a long time every thing worked great, messaging worked fast, the hebrew worked perfectly, even the cookie home tab was moderately fast.
In the last two-three months, I noticed that my topaz got significantly slower than it usually was, and that even right after a soft reset (56% of the memory is in use).
I can't understand what had happened, since I haven't installed any new software in the last six months, and haven't changed any setting too.
Has any one else had the same experience ?
hard reset or new phone will cure it.
Some good news and some bad news..
I did do a hard reset, and the phone worked as expected - like new.
I recomend installing the NeoS2007_Driverpack_3, it made the effects look smoother.
After installing CHT (1.8.5 btw) it got a little slower, and after synchronizing with outlook it went back to the original "old" state.
I can say that I could isolate the problem to the home tab, all other tabs are fast.
More over, I can say that overclocking the phone did not solve the problem (or have any effect for that matter).
Can someone tell my if the newer versions of CHT work faster ?
Or is it possible to make the clock smaller and add the flight mode as quicklink without CHT ?
Thanks

hi, i got my Diamond2 in October 2009, so it is not even 2 years old now. the plastic body is not holding so tight anymore, I bought 3 more batteries hoping to last longer than 1 day of intensive (i used those batteries, which were significantly worse after 1-2 months of use and I am back to the original one again). I flashed the ROM several times, used tess for 1 day, duttythroy for 1 day, EnterpriseV for 1 day, and I sticked to EnergyROM with CHT 2.0.0.0 again. having 80mb of free ram after soft-reset is pretty ****ty, but what can I do? still better than using the stock ROM. the phone is slow since I started to use WM65. it was significantly faster on WM61, but the lack of WM65 features made me accept the slow-down.
necessary tweaks - use the advised amounts of cache (use Touch Tools to adjust it), disable animation, no clock flips... keep it to the "low detail game settings..."
tlsty
Happy end
I decided to give the new CHT (meaning 2.0) a try, and that made a big difference.
The home tab is not laggish any more, at least no more than all the other tabs.
Any way, my conclusion is to do a hard reset every once in a while, and more importantly, install every software in the right order.
Thanks guys
Why not performiung a Hard-SPL and get introduced to the awesome world of customRoms? You will be surprised how snappier TD2 feels on a 20922 build plus all the custom rom goodies
EDIT: Oops just read your last post, everything is fine now... but I would recommend you a custom rom based on a far newer build with Cookie HomeTab 2.0 cooked in. It makes a huge difference, believe me.
The problem with using new roms is the hebrew. I have now a rom that the hebrew language does not mess. I'm sure other hebrew speakers managed to overcome this problem even with the use of wm 6.5.x, but for me this rom good enough.
I might want to use the android (including the sense), once it could be made the native OS .
