Re: freeing more memory.
 

Honestly you need to pick another ROM, one that is suited for a VZW phone.

Re: freeing more memory.
 

I never used MS Voice Command. If you don't use it, you can stop it from starting up which will free some memory. Delete the link under \Windows\Startup\Voice Command.lnk

Re: freeing more memory.
 

You have two options and both require a reflash.....

Mike builds his TP ROM"s fopr laarge memory phones. He is more than likely using a large pagepoopl which is decreasing your memory.

You can...

1. Reflash his ROM with the page pool lowered this freeing your mmemory.

2. Flash my TP ROM's as I am the ONLY developer working on VZW solutions. I build ALL my ROM's on verizon Touch Pro.


Anyways... good luck.


Why did VZW do this? Because they can. They dont care about useability. Its all bottom line. The bottom line in this case is 256 megs of RAM Cost more than 128 so they used 128 and charged even more for the phone!!!!!!!

I left them for this reason. They did the same **** with the diamond. I hope they burn in hell for what they do.... Im not joking. This is an emotional topic for me.

I just left VZW for this andf got a sprint diamond. As soon as I saw VZW was crippling yet anotyher phone I said I can tsupport them any more.

They ONLY WAY THEY WILL STOP DOING THIS is if you stop being there customer.

Dont complain, make a move. Kiss them goodby. SO mach happier with Sprint now.


But I kept my phone and keep the ROM"s and kitchen currnet ;c)

Re: freeing more memory.
 

Mike's will work fine with Verizon phones. Just change the pagepool size to 6MB or 12MB.

Re: freeing more memory.
 

it has 192 ram not 128!
and doesnt lllboredlll cook specifically for vzw too?

Re: freeing more memory.
 

I find the 12 MB PP to work best on my VZW TP.

I'd switch, but Verizon has the best service in the areas I'm usually in.

Laaaaaame.

Re: freeing more memory.
 

my pagepool is at 6. not 24. i wish i can set it to 32 and have a faster phone, but that wouldnt be too great with this vzw phone

Re: freeing more memory.
 

any thing else i can delete to make it faster, just did the voice command and now at 44mbs free.


also, is changing the pagepool to 12 from 6.. any noticeable? worth the hassel?


Thanks

Re: freeing more memory.
 

i also cook for vzw tp. i havent really found the need for turning my tp into a desktop computer. i mean i love the roms everyone else builds but they take and use alot of memory for alot of unneeded things. I think its just my point of view on things but i keep my phone for what it is and does. Its first roll is a phone. works very good in this roll, 2nd is the minor appz and games to keep u ocupied when waiting. I mean there are times where i do things or try to like a desktop but there is really no need to in thsi world atm. The vzw phone works great and i havent ran into any problems with slow speed at all. I originaly had a alltel tp and now have the vzw one and it actually out performs the alltel one.

but anywho that another debate that lasts forever. You can give my rom a shot if you like or u can dl the base build i have and install whatever u want onto it.

thx

I haven't run with it at 6 yet (gonna try it soon just out of curiousity), but I find with a 12 MB PP, it blazes along just find, and I have yet to have an 'out of memory error'.

Even running Opera for a while and album and some other minor programs, I rarely pop over 90% usage.

Re: freeing more memory.
 

I can't go into much detail, because it will be a conflict of interest for me, and I like having my rent paid on time...LOL....

VZW's policies for phones vs. PDA's are very different. I can honestly say that with some phones they are really limiting the potential. Not so with the touch pro. The touch pro was designed to be the "everything" of phones. If you look at the VZW lineup, typically the monster phone is the HTC XV series.

What happened last year, was the herald of the blackberry storm. Verizon chose the HTC Touch Pro first. It was one of the earlier builds that HTC brought to VZW. After that, when they went to Alltel, AT&T, and Sprint the design started to change. That is why the verizon version looks so different and has different specifications. And there was no way they could have gotten the Touch Pro ready in time to offer with the slew of PDA's in december if they changed the midway through.

But there is a rumor brewing that we will get the Rhodium first in October. Possibly with a 3 month or 6 month exclusivity. but I was told that I will definitely be surprised if we get it, with the specifications that will be on it. (For example aGPS unlocked right out of box, to name a few).

Re: freeing more memory.
 

thats interesting.

I would love to have more insight on that situation... /wishful thinking

lol

Re: freeing more memory.
 

+1

I have been using my Sprint Touch Pro with Sprint service for 2 weeks now and I am 110% satisfied (VZW Employee). Nothing can be done to save that overpriced piece of trash that VZW calls a Touch Pro. I used it for 4 months and I had to face reality - It is a SUBPAR product that does not deserve to wear the HTC Branding (Hey wait it doesnt...lol).

Re: freeing more memory.
 

Its kinda interesting. I have some friends in the corporate testing lab in NJ, and coupled with my friends at HTC it makes very interesting discussion.

Re: freeing more memory.
 

Apparently the branding is supposed to change. I think this year we are going to see more handsets from other carriers activated for service with different carriers. But going forward I think all the new devices are supposed to have both HTC branding and VZW. I think it starts with the Rhodium (if we get it).

Re: freeing more memory.
 

Man, how do you get friends like that? lol

My conflict is that I like the Verizon service in my area (and the areas I frequent), but I hate what they do to phones.

Alas, I cannot afford to import a Sprint TP...lame.

Re: freeing more memory.
 

What I do to free some memory is I delete all the ringtones that are 118 KB or anything else in the 3 figures. I really don't use the ringtones that comes with the pro and I have my own custom ones. This trick does enough for me.

Re: freeing more memory.
 

Verizon has been crippling phones for years...i hacked my Razr and it was like a new phone...they do it because it brings in more money....making you pay for ringtones instead of being able to use your own. not providing standard apps as they know that they can make money if you have to pay for it in their store. Verizon is and always has been about the money. their CS sucks beyond belief

I switched to Sprint after being with Vzw for nearly 8 years...bill was always paid on time and everything, and they still sent an 800 dollar termination bill...just by switching to Sprint, i saved 200 dollars a month...Verizon does have the best coverage, but its not worth paying twice the price....i can handle 1-2 dropped calls a month, what i cant handle is paying 49 bucks a month for "unlimited" internet, that has a cap....ill switch to sprint and get unlimited everything for only 20 bucks a month more.....

ending my rant....to free up memory, do as a lot of people have said, get a good VZW rom, make sure the PagePool is correct 6-8, and make sure you dont have any unneeded programs on the phone and it will be workin as smooth as drinking a gallon of castor oil....

Re: freeing more memory.
 

Each carrier has their own pros and cons. I myself used to work for sprint, and now I work for Verizon. And believe me, all carriers are about the bottom line.

Because most of are very technical, it is easy for us to assume that every customer is on our level. You would be surprised at how much our "consumer base" is even capable of building kitchens, and flashing phones. Think about how long manufacturers have been posting updates to phones on their individual websites. For PDA's they have been doing it for the last 7 - 9 years. Think about how long Manufacturers have been putting usb cables in phone boxes, and begging/pleading with customers, even carriers to provide information on how to synchronize and perform standard upgrades. I tell you over 95% of people with a cell phone do not know how to upgrade their phones or even synchronize their own information.

We represent about 5% of consumer wireless base.

So I am not gonna say Sprint or Verizon is better. I ahve my opinion on that, but I tell you it isn't gonna get any better until that number changes.

Re: freeing more memory.
 

To be honest, I'm not terribly surprised by that. I work in tech support myself, and its amazing how many people really don't know how to utilize their computer.

The unfortunate by product of that is that the people that do know often get screwed out of full functionality of their devices.
