The only thing I like better about the professional layout is the clock.

Works fine, except for some memory creep.

I have Oxios Hibernate, but after it's been on a few hours I still experiences about a 6% memory creep (I boot with about 59% and over time get to around 65%). Oxios clears about a meg of RAM (or is it ROM?), and killing ActiveSync clears another percent point or so, but I'm just curious to know if anyones found a way to either prevent the creep or clear up the gain?

I have very few issues with the shell itself. Beautifully designed and works like a dream. I think my only complaint (aside from the creep) is that I much prefer iContact over the shells contatct manager.
I also noticed that after the device has been on for a little while I had trouble editing a calendar event. I would click on the event to edit the title and it would close the editing screen and kick me back to the homepage. After a hard reset it no longer did this.
Same with a game I have called Another world. The device had been on for several hours and had experienced some memory creep (about 6%). The game hung and the D-pad seemed functionless (on my Titan 6800). However, the hard reset button still worked, and killed the program for me. I performed a hard reset and booted the game and it worked fine.
I believe the memory creep is causing issues with these programs.
Anyone else?

Also, I am very much thinking of getting a TouchPro. Does anyone think the added RAM, ROM and Processor speed would change this, or could this be a beta bug (the shell is still in Beta, correct?).

Thanks again!

M.

I'm experiencing the leak too. I use SK Free-up RAM and Oxios, and neither bring me back to where I should be. That ranks #1 among my grievances with this software:
  1. Memory Leak
  2. Recent Calls - when clicking on a contact in recent calls, it shouldn't automatically dial. That's annoying
  3. Screen lag on rotate is awful, only because it slows down the rotate for every other app as well!

All said, I have made the switch from TF3d and don't think I'll be returning anytime soon. I love this! (RUnning TouchPro on VZW)

Just a hunch, it's more professional looking?

guess that kinda takes us back to the iphone vs ppc thing. one is cuter then the other...but when it comes to usability, one if definitely blowing the other smooth out the water, imo.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 
lulz, does anyone else find themselves pulling their device out of hibernation just to play around with the shell? Thank you to everyone who has helped so far!

Is anyone else experiencing a lot of random device wake-ups with this shell? My Touch Pro wakes up once every few minutes sometimes and this only started happening after I installed MS3...

That just happened to me about 5 minutes ago. First time I've noticed it though.

Thought everyone might be interested in this link from Spb. Apparently if you purchased Spb Mobile Shell 2.x before and still have the key you can get a free upgrade to Spb 3 when it is released.

I totally agree with one & two. I'm not getting the lag however.

It doesn't automatically dial when I do that!!! It brings up the other nice menu where I can choose to sms/mms & call etc... If you mean clicking the contacts in the recent calls in call history in SPB Mobile shell 3...

It's funny, mine isn't doing that either now but it definitely was at one point because it annoyed me too......

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 
Ok I've found the explanation... Apparently if you got an unknown contact (thats not in your contact list) in your call history and you click it, it will immediately dial, otherwise it works fine...

Check a few posts down in this thread:

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 
could someone or the orignal poster, please tell me how to change the rotation background??
not the lifestyle but the background when the carousel is spinning.
like above! :)
i want the matrix!! :)


edit:

nevermind...i think that only possible with the 6.5 roms...cause spb keeps the theme of 6.5 :(

but if im wrong please tell me! :)

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 
I used to use MS 2.0 on my Touch, then switched to TF3D when I got my diamond. I'll probably switch back to MS 3.0 when the bug free version comes out...but:

Does anybody else have an incredible delay when they try to switch to the email screen? Everything on the whole program is very fast and smooth except this. When I push the email icon from the professional screen, it takes about three seconds to switch to the email screen.

Running MightyRom 4.8 on a Touch Diamond and Seven for push email.

Thanks.

New release didn't take my old MS2 reg. key. Must be a typo. Only recent purchase gets free upgrade.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 
the leaked build was 6362 .. well the one i have...

i am guessing we can go to settings.. spb mobile shell.. then right soft key ... and select backup settings...

then uninstall and reinstall SPBmobile and then go back to same option and now select restore settings...

has this worked for anyone?

Their site is really busy right now but I got my copy purchased. One thing I have noticed so far is that the replace the start menu button works now. I had other build installed. I did not remove it, I installed the retail copy over it. During this process it said had to remove the other version. It did keep my settings though.

Looks like they've fixed the missing "phone profiles" icon in the latest release. I just installed the latest and I'll poke around a bit more in it.

On the Palm Treo 700wx, this doesn't do a lot of things - for example, that 3D "cover flow" type thing it does for layouts simply crashes the program for me and returns to the today screen.

The callhistory flip, etc doesn't work, and neither have I seen the Facebook integration. Gotta install the new version that Coz just put up.

Re: SPB Mobile Shell 3.0!!
 
Ok i am totally convinced that this spb 3 is the way to go. Now with the new release everything seems to be working great. I did notice it seemed a bit faster as well. Ok so my next step is I want to flash with a very clean rom with 6.1 that doesn't have tf3d. I say 6.1 cause I don't think 6.5 id quite ready yet. I have tried juicy 7 as well as the new might mike 5 and even though they are quite impressive I am not sold yet. Can anyone give me some ideas here... Thanks

By the way, I am using a sprint touch pro.

I really started to like the new TF3D from the TP2. Too bad I am switching to this, permanantly.

Are you installing the EXE via ActiveSync, or the CAB from the device itself? Sometimes if you mex the two up you get that error message!!

It is a bit slow, but I can live with that I guess!! I do dislike the way all the icons we setup in the lifestyle (who thought that name up anyway???) get all discombobulated when you rotate....it takes a while to orientate myself to where all my apps/contacts are when I rotate the screen (I understand why it does this, but it does take getting used to)!!
