Pro Speed

Perhaps you phrased your statement wrong. You mean that yours is faster than your 6700. The slowdown that I usually get makes the phone unusable.

syanni85, I have done what you have suggested. So far it seems insanely fast. I will get back to you tomorrow and see if it keeps this speed (which is even faster than when I reboot).

so there are other threads with complaints about the touch pro's speed? so why not post there, why start another thread? isn't this site filled with enough unnecessary whining? i'm coming from a mogul and the pro blows it out of the water in ever way, sorry. the majority would not want to compare their old phones to the pro.
do u even have a pro? if not, please don't start threads in the tp forum like this (since there are other identical threads to post in)... tp users rather see productive threads. this thread has no purpose, sorry again.

Lol this was quite productive for me though I tried to open multiple programs that would have my TP running at a crawl by now and it is faster than ever. LOL Oncourse 2008, mapquest navigator, opera and pie woot. I do understand what you are saying though.

wow dude, i was running oncourse 2008 and minimized it just to see how much ram it takes up, and i had like 25mb left... thats unreal...

I know how you feel tho, it takes FOREEEEVVVEEERRR to launch the program.... but if i were u, i'd just use gmaps for the little, need-2-be-quick things, and OCN8 for when you have the time lol I love the program tho, by far the best maps/gps available, TONS of features!

heh well u got lucky and ran into a helpful hand... that's the kind of threads we need... something that helps.
that obviously wasn't the OPs intention as noted by the title and post. it was more like a bad review. i wasn't trying to be mean to the op or anything im just sick of multiple threads about the same thing that have no purpose. might just be my opinion, but id rather see the goods on the first page here... threads like this just get in the way.
glad u got ur phone going good now tho!

If you're running a program on it that whacks memory down to 25mb (that's 75+ mb), it would murder a 6700. Something's obviously wrong here. It's VERY unlikely this program would run slower on a Pro than a 6700, and if it did, it would be very obvious that it was a software, not hardware, issue. In other words, NOT a "Pro speed" issue.

I usually couldn't even browse the internet with opera. It would run very slow and gradually get worse to the point of 30 second + pauses. I usually had lots of ram left but it still lagged. PAST

I did remain optimistic that the issue would be resolved which is very fortunate. The only times where I got scared is the people that keep returning theirs eventually said that they got one that ran great.

Yeah but ... those cache tweaks shouldn't affect web browsing, should they?

i think you may be right... i do know they help the operating system and tf3d tremendously tho
