Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

Hi,

Can we perhaps consolidate and list all speed tricks/reg settings/practices/etc. here by chance?

I will even go and help by looking up some other threads and pasting reg settings and what not, though I think that info is fine where it is....

I'm more after other things one can do to ensure the speediest (and possibly longest battery life) Vogue possible. Those are my two concerns.

I'm ok with battery life, I have all the reg settings that make use of suspend features (i think). I just want to make sure my phone is fast and stable now.

I'm using OMJ's custom Verizon rom. My phone has locked up about 3 times within a week or two. I noticed it happened once while typing...curious to know if the HTC touch keypad input method has issues...cuz that's what I was using when it locked up...typing an email/text message. Or if it's completely random.

So any great ideas would be great. I keep looking all over this forum, but info is so scattered. Wish it was all in one place, and if I ever do get all the settings I can, I will take the time to thank everyone by putting together a little guide/list.

Thanks.

GREAT IDEA. I was just playing with my old 6700 yesterday and was so amazed at its speed... much faster than my vogue... I had forgotten how much faster it is. I truly wish my vogue performed just as fast...

Re: Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

i was on a i730 before... now its a brick and a pain in the rear, but it was fast. course not as much ram, but cpu was awesome. course i'd gladly trade that for better battery life....but i really want to squeeze as much out of my vogue as possible.

i'll throw everything humanly possible on to the storage card and crank up the glyph cache settings, etc. whatever i gotta do. i want the thing stable, fast, and as battery efficient as can be for being speedy. i'm sure there are some trade offs, i'd like to know what/where so i can make a decision.

Re: Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

ok. before it gets down too far I'll start listing some settings...settings I already have, hopefully others can chime in. if things get messy - at the end of all this (at some point) i'll condense and re-post. I know there's already a reg edit thread around - but I want to include more than just registry settings. Perhaps practices, theories, etc. How much ram should be in use and free for example. ... how much storage space free? does it matter? any clever mortscript things we can do to help manage how things are operating, etc. what tasks don't need to be ran at startup? those things.

so to get the ball rolling, one link i like for reg settings is this :

aside from the thread on this forum.

i730 ???

Re: Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

my old phone. was a samsung, fast bugger. but it was too heavy/large. and while the new iphone looks great and all - i just bought the vogue and i'm quite happy with it. i don't think i'd trade it for an iphone to be honest. the touch is so much smaller and nicer. it's by long and far the best phone i've had yet. i just want to make it as fast as possible.

i might even try to yank picsel viewer off that old samsung and see if it runs faster... that was one gripe of mine. that these phones (even though i had a "fast" one before) don't really run things that fast....is it sloppy programming? i don't know.

anyway. i cranked my glyph cache to 64kb. seems to make a difference. i have 8kb on file system and disk whatever cache that are kinda near each other.

I have about 66-67mb free of RAM with nothing open...other than background processes including opera 9 stuff, the 4mb cube, media hub, quick dial, quickgps, tmail, poutlook, quickmenu and some other things that i assume are basic/windows specific.

still curious about what i don't need to be running all the time/at startup.

couldn't find where to set opera's cache files folder... i set ie's to the storage card (by the way new egg has a deal 50 bucks for 8gb microsd). Gotta clean up stuff and move as much as i can to storage card...

Re: Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

Hmm i was told the vogue could only read up to a 4gb card.

isnt the i730 a nextel made by Motorola?

EDIT:
ahh you mean this one: http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=667

get rid of htc's crap and install spb mobile shell.. 500% speed improvement right there. -m

Re: Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

Nope, I have a 8gb microsd card in my vogue.

Re: Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

yup. sorry i abbreviated. good phone back in the day.
and i'll also re-confirm that the 8gb microsd does work in the vogue. and i believe that is the highest they make -- so i'm curious to know, since that's and sdhc, if future hc cards such as a 12gb also work... i guess 8 is good enough. i'll never use more than that - i dislike a phone as an mp3 player due to buttons/control, and since you need that ugly big adapter, i'll probably never try with the vogue. so i'm stuck w/ the two devices.

Re: Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

i had mobile shell on my samsung... i dont know, it's cool and all. maybe i'll have to spend some time customizing it..... i honestly don't see myself using the cube much. the launcher is great on the htc home plugin.

the one thing that i like about htc over mobile shell is the look.....and... being on your today screen w/o a script ... and the weather is the real clincher. so pretty. again if i take the time to customize mobile shell....maybe, just maybe i can get it how i like....IF and only IF it's really that much faster like stated here.

Re: Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

I've been running an 8gb card w/ no problems. -m

Re: Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

I WISH!!! I have even tried the kitchen very plain, with no office, htc crap, or anything else and still slow response... for example, try scrolling upd and down fast your programs screen. Than try the same with settings...

Somehow this would not happen with the alltel rom modified to make the other vogues capable of GPS. There's something else going on.

Re: Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

i noticed increasing some of the settings for cache (glyph cache, file system, disk, etc) did make a noticeable difference. i would sometimes go a little bit above what people were saying when adjusting those. 8kb instead of 4... and 16kb or 32kb on some settings even.

Re: Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

Can anyone else confirm that spb mobile shell speeds things up? Does spb 'replace' the windows mobile shell or kind of run on top of it (eating memory up in the background)?

Re: Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

No, that's not the case. I've been running with a 8Gb Sandisk card as soon as they were available, and I'm looking forward to the 12Gb cards.

Re: Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

Have you considered a bluetooth headset? I've been using the Blueant X5 stereo headset http://www.myblueant.com/x5_stereo_b...hones_a2dp.htm since I got the Vogue last November, and love it. Volume control, next/previous, and pause/play controls on the headset, so you don't need to access controls on the Vogue itself, plus bluetooth eliminates the use of the adapter. Only drawback I've found is if you're watching videos, there's a slight delay as the audio is sent and received, so the lips don't quite match the speech, kind of like watching a bad kung-fu movie.

Re: Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

curious about how much bluetooth drains battery now.... would love to consolidate....just number one roadblock (aside from the headphones which this is a great solution for by the way) is battery life.

Re: Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

Yo, you dont have to use the ugly adaptor. Just plug in the headphones but put the usb prop. backwards.

Re: Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

the say what?

Re: Making the Vogue as fast as possible ?? all settings?
 

Well, I don't know how to give a defiinitive answer to that one, but subjectively, I haven't noticed a significant drain on the battery by having bluetooth active. Nothing like when you turn on the GPS feature, now that does suck the battery dry pretty quickly. I've flown for hours listening to music on the Vogue with my bluetooth headset, and haven't had any problems with the battery. One nice thing about the Blueant headset I mentioned earlier is it uses the same mini-USB charger that the Vogue uses, so you'll have a 2nd AC charger to keep around, and can use either charger for both devices, if you want to "pack light".
