What Could Cause the Mogul to Be Extremely Unresponsive?

[subhumanderelict]

I’m glad someone else made a post about this. *Bashful n00b*

I actually noticed something unusual after using PIM backup. I used it to restore messages from my Q (all 4500 of them) to my Mogul. After loading them up, I was able to view them all fine and dandy-like. The problem was as follows: where I had originally started up with 24MB of free RAM (running 3.35 stock), it was now starting with 22MB, and after a while, it would bottom out to around 17-19MB.

Damn.

So, I figured some of those could stand being archived. I can’t explain it, but running PIM backup again and storing them in one of those nifty little files on my SD card got me back up to the norm, with no memory leak. Now the number of messages on my card is creeping up to around 1000 again and I am noticing a bit of a leak again. However, I have a feeling this time around it may have something to do with the large number of programs I’ve installed/uninstalled lately.

Anyone else notice anything like this?

I will give this a try now. You'd think this would do it.

[Twinsen]

Well, unfortunately, this didn't help. Even after a soft reset. It only cleared 3.8mb worth of temp data. Any other ideas?

I was getting sluggishness with the new ROM because one of my GPS programs was configured wrong. I think it was hogging system resources in a vain attempt to communicate with the internal GPS. When I fixed the setting, the program works fine now, and the system sluggishness went away. Possibly you've got something like that going on.

[Twinsen]

Well, I guess I'll be hard resetting then. I can't take this crap anymore.

[Twinsen]

Well, Hard Reset cleared my issue for now. We'll see if it pops again a month or so from now...

Another must have for freeing up memory is Oxios Hibernate.

This was also happening to me. I have the the newest stock rom. I also did a hard reset which fixed the problem. Its been a week now and everything is good so far.

19-FIX THE SLOW RINGER

To do this, you will need your MSL, which only Sprint (or your provider) can provide you. Open up the phone app and dial ##778# (PST). You will be asked to enter your MSL. Enter it, and you will be brought into the provisioning of your phone. From the top left, select Modem Settings. On this page, your Slot Cycle Index (SCI) is how often your phone polls the tower for incoming calls, etc. This value is 1.28 seconds multiplied by 2^value (i.e 0=1.28 secs, 1=2.56secs) with 0 fastest, 7 slowest. The default is 2, but lowering it to 1 hasn't noticeably affected my battery life, and roughly 2.5 second (SCI 1) response time is far more reasonable than roughly 5 seconds (SCI 2)

(i can't tell the difference, still slow to me)

22-add the AM/PM to your time in the title bar
To Add AM or PM
1) Open your registry editor (either PHM Registry Editor or Resco Explorer 2003).
2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides
3) Create 1st String Value: Name = S1159 & String = Am
4) Create 2nd String Value: Name = S2359 & String = Pm
5) Create 3rd String Value: Name = STFmt & String = hh:mm t'M'
6) Soft-reset

There has to be a space after the am or pm otherwise it will not display
Also
am=aM pm=pM
Am=AM Pm=PM

I'm having this same problem. It started after updating to the new Rev A/GPS Rom from Sprint. I've just recently noticed that when the device becomes unresponsive, the signal strength icon is showing data transfer. The device is acting like it is becoming bogged down while sending or receiving a large amount of data. The last time it became unresponsive, I hit the Com manager button, triggered airplane mode, and the device instantly became responsive again.

I'm stumped though. The only thing I have running in the background is Outlook which is checking my Gmail every 15 minutes.

I ran across Spybot Search & Destroy for WinMo standard and PPC last night. was thinking of installing it and see if it discovers any possible malware. I highly doubt it though since I never surf to unknown websites or open unknown mail.

I should also say that I did make some reg edits for better power managment. But they were done with the previous Sprint Rom AND after the new Sprint Rom was installed. Never had a problem with the previous Sprint Rom.
