Guest BeyondtheTech Posted January 10, 2005 Report Posted January 10, 2005 Trying to make the best of both worlds, I decided that perhaps the MPx220 is worth taking another look at if the memory management issue could be resolved. After all, with Cingular's Media Works Unlimited, I want to keep Agile Messenger open all day to send/receive IMs, while using the phone, surfing, playing games, etc. Then, it dawned on me - why is the Audiovox SMT5600 with an apparently older revision of WM2K3 running things better than the newer MPx220? The answer is in a couple of registry keys. MPx220 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LowMem] "ResetDivision"=dword:1 "ProgramMem"=dword:32 SMT5600 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LowMem] "ResetDivision"=dword:0 "ProgramMem"=dword:96 After forcing in the SMT5600 settings on the MPx220, I ran Agile Messenger and connected. Then, I ran Internet Explorer. Launched Agile again, and same copy of Agile still came back, still connected. Launched MSN Messenger. Launched Agile again, still accessible and running. Launched Tasks, Contacts, Calendar, File Manager, Resource Management. Returned to Agile Messenger, still running! Using these new registry settings, all these programs are running simultaneously, Agile Messenger is still active, connected, and accessible! With the original registry settings, Agile Messenger would get lost in the memory and a new instance of Agile Messenger would launch, and not be able to connect because the original copy was still connected. I may have just forgiven the MPx220!
Guest domer Posted January 10, 2005 Report Posted January 10, 2005 So, what software did you use to edit the registry? Any recommendations?

Guest BeyondtheTech Posted January 10, 2005 Report Posted January 10, 2005 PHM Registry Editor (crashes often) ChrisOn.NET RegEdit.NET (works great) Smartione (remote registry editor on the PC, nice!) So, what software did you use to edit the registry? Any recommendations? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I may have just forgiven the MPx220! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If this is what it looks like it is, I could kiss you! :D Okay. Maybe not. My girlfriend probably wouldn't appreciate that. :D But thanks nonetheless! Edit: Weird. I have even further different values. "ProgramMem"=dword:18 "ResetDivision"=dword:0 That might explain why my programs always close so soon. :x Edited January 11, 2005 by Sogarth
Guest Sogarth Posted January 11, 2005 Report Posted January 11, 2005 Works lovely! :D :exclaim: One catch: Don't forget to reboot the phone after you make these changes, since it looks like they don't take immediate effect. Other than that, great!
Guest nobznss Posted January 12, 2005 Report Posted January 12, 2005 Works pretty good from what I can tell. GOOD WORK!
