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.

i did the benchmark on mine:

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.

Regarding the Diamond's memory problems...

I attached an image showing my free memory immediately after soft reset, and 24 hours after soft reset.
The thing is that 24hours after soft reset, the amount of available memory becomes so small (even when I close all programs in HTCs task manager), that many programs simply don't work well, or quit in the middle.
My ROM is: 1.93.456.2 (HTC official).

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The processes were ordered according to how much memory they take. All of the processes that you don't see in the pic, take only a slight amount of memory.
For both cases, the only program that I saw runninng in HTC memory manager, is Activesync.
From the comparison, it seems that most of the memory difference is due to the processes shown, which somehow take more memory after 24 hours.
Is there anything I can do after 24 hours to make things better, apart from doing a soft reset ?

this is just the well known memory leak issue.
no fix yet.

Wow, only 28MB free on a soft reset, maybe you should consider flashing a cooked ROM, as my Diamond with Dutty's 1.8 Full rom has like ~50MB RAM free. Also a good way to not have to soft-reset your device so often is by using the SKTools FreeUP Ram tool, which always gives me back the amount of RAM I would get with a soft-reset.

I encounter the same problems. Too bad there isn't a fix.....

Actually, I have 36mb of RAM after soft reset, but in order to take the screen shot I needed to run MyMobiler (that needs activesync), and this took some 8mb of RAM.
This SKTools FreeUP Ram tool seems interesting, I'll give it a try.

CPU Clock for kaiser, where?

i was searching a tool for set the speed control of msm7200 cpus for underclock my kaiser but really i can find anything that sound me "compatible" for my kaiser, any one can suggest me one? regards!

>>> nueClockControl <<<
>>> nueDynamicClock <<<

And neither of which work on a Kaiser.
Overclocking on a mobile device is dumb anyway. And who would want to underclock a Kaiser.

i want undeclock my kaiser, i try both nue dynamic works but dont show the speed and i am not sure if is secure, recently the program add support for this cpu, and nue clock... dont even open! regards!!!
PD: any comercial apps there that suppor this device?

in my Kayser ( WM 6.1 - T.I.R.v12K ) they works perfectly.
For nueDynamicClock, probably, you must manually start the service :
"nueDynamicClock(NDC0)"

If nueDynamicClock don't open, you can try to link directly the .cpl :
32#"\Windows\nueCPL-ClockSpeed.cpl"
Regards.

ok i thinks i gonna be glad if i can make work NueControl (not dynamic) to get work, so i install the cab, go to the start menu open the program and nothing happend, i should start some other thing? regards!

Oh, cool! Last I viewed either of those two projects it was not supported on the Kaiser! The way he has it set up makes good sense, and I've just started testing it but you can't tell it's underclocked if you set the Default speed to be normal, then drop it down on idle, backlight, suspend. Only problem is, he has it defaulted to 192mhz in the profiles, so you have to edit the profile or everything is dog slow, but the other settings you won't notice the difference because you're not actually using the phone when it's happening.
Stability will be the question, I saw several posts about phone calls causing problems, etc, so we'll see. Also concerned about TrackMe and some things like that which I run in the background sometimes, so we'll just have to see!

@wolframio74:
... sorry, i don't remember the necessity of some workaround for nueClockControl,
I have just installed it, and all was OK .

[Q] Unfamiliar/Strange Icon on left side of SD card Drive

Hi,
Does anyone know what this icon on the left side of the image that looks like a pause icon is for?

I cannot clearly make it out (a larger thumbnail screenshot would help), but as long as you can read and write to the SD card, I wouldn't bother about. Sometimes windows might decide to assign a custom icon to a removable drive.

I can't get it any bigger than this... Some time I couldn't do anything, every command I wanted to run on my phone it would say "permission denied" and this icon appeared the same time when I had this problem.

A little more info would help. What size is the SD card? I am assuming it is a 16 Gb. What is the drive formatted as, FAT32? I'm not sure, but 32-bit oses have issues addressing large fat32 devices. Have you tried taking the SD card out and mounting it in a reader? Did you format the SD card before installing it in the phone (I only ask because it looks like there is nothing on it).

A long shot, but is your Windows 7 installation fully updated? I know there was a hotfix for SDHC support in Windows 7. It appears your computer recognizes the size of the card but perhaps you need the hotfix to read/write? Should be in the "optional updates" section of Windows Update if you don't have it.

i would be interested in what the icon means as well.
is there possibly an autorun.inf in the root of the sdcard? any other partitions on the sdcard? bitlocker turned on? any autorun settings in use?

[Q] Internal SD - clearing/cleaning space

Dear friends,
I am hoping for some advice. I was looking to clear some space on my internal SD (the only storage I have) and was wondering if anyone can advise me on how to do so. Below you can see what my phones memory consists of at the moment.

As you can see there is a rather large 'other' section. Is this normal? I'm not really sure what might be in there other than the OS (RocketRom v3) and the zip files plus other odds and ends and it feels too big to be just that?
If it isnt normal then please let me know how I might be able to clean my internal SD up. I don't mind if it means reflashing the ROM.
Obviously I should just buy an external SD if I want space
Sorry for my jumbled post. I have been drinking a lovely bottle of red wine.

I think 2nd paragraph's 2nd sentence is your answer Apart from image, video, music files whatever else is there will be considered as Other. One Rom itself will be around 800MB (Rocket rom) which is almost 7% of 11GB. So, this rom+zip files+other files will be considered as Others, which will make "Others" look bigger

Have a look at this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.levelokment.storageanalyser
Very useful for detecting what's eating up your space. Maybe there are some left overs in android/data or obb. You'll recognise them by the grey icons.
Cheers, Markus

Couple of more apps.. SD Maid & Thumbnails File Deleter...for deleting thumbnails cache etc (/DCIM/.thumbnails/..)..
