LAG! Unresponsive

[Bostonbull]

I am getting to my wits end with the 6.5 and the lag issues I have been dealing with. There are times that the phone will freeze for 10-15 seconds. An example is trying to close out of the text/email screen, or when finishing a call from an unknown caller; I get the screen option to add the name to contacts. I click add new contact or existing contact and LAG! 15 seconds every time easily.

I have clear temp and cleanram installed and run them daily, sometimes more often. All of my apps, etc are saved to my card. I have deleted Sprint bloatware like NASCAR, TV, NFL, etc.

What am I missing? What can I do?

Besides flashing to custom or getting another phone what are the options? Lag makes me hate my WinMO phone!

i feel your pain. lag is just part of winmo combined with older hardware... it was the final breaking point for me to look into getting a secondary device that was faster. i just can't afford such frustrating load times for basic things like searching the net and texting

It helps if you keep very few text messages and emails on your phone. HTC Sense does some wacky crap when you have a bunch of either.

SD cards are slug-slow. Even class 1000000 or whatever kids these days are using. Install everything to your device. Use the card for storing music, videos, pics, and cabs for reinstallation, etc. (anything you want to keep after hard resets), backup files and such. Keep email on the device, not on the card. Try that for awhile and see if it gets better.

It's just how Windows Mobile is. Was like this when I had a MPX-200 like 7 years ago.. Was like this on my MPX-220, 3125, 8525, ATT Tilt, etc, etc.

I dont understand why Windows Mobile doesnt scream considering the OS is basically the same thing from 6 years ago. You'd think on new hardware like the TP2, it'd fly..

Yea, I seriously don't get that either. Of course the hardware hasn't increased THAT much either. My mogul was 400Mhz and my Touch Pro was 528Mhz and my Touch Pro 2 is 528Mhz. All three phones ran the same OS. All three phones didn't have enough memory.

I guess the fact that Microsoft pretty much gave up and resigned itself to do small patches instead of major upgrades on windows mobile years ago is what leads to the inevitable lag and frustration.

Hard reset and then install apps to device as was mentioned....delete texts every couple days....but personally I would flash custom....most of the bs is out.......I dont experience any kind of lag like you are experiencing...

Yea, custom roms help a lot. Completely worth the small amount of time it takes to accomplish. Doesn't solve every problem, but makes the phone tolerable most of the time.
