Guest Myke Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 holy crap! I just deleted all these files off my phone and it runs SOOOOO much faster!!!! my phone was lagging when i clicked to check my mail and when i clicked programs and "next" and now it does everything lightning fast! :-O
Guest Dylan Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 Awesome!!! Hadn't seen this before and now my phone is dead fast! Finally!!!
Guest jonnyb Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 A word of warning! After trying this and rebooting, my phone became cert locked again :cry: and on checking the files where back in the startup folder again. After de-certing way back in the old days and surviving the update without having to de-cert again I was somewhat miffed with this!!! Not wanting to hard reset and have to put everything back again I thought I would try the OTA method. WOW first time and in about a minute ;) Not sure if it was just bad luck on my part, but I don't think I will try this again...
Guest MoRFLeZ Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 I've very curious as to what these programs actually do... so I wont muffle around with it until you 'guinea pigs' are done with testing *innocent blink*! So keep the info coming =) I want a faster phone ...
Guest Palindrome Posted April 29, 2003 Report Posted April 29, 2003 Paul, perhaps you would know, or know someone in a position of technical intimacy with the SPV who could clear this up once and for all. By the looks of it there is no real harm in deleting these shortcuts but I'd feel better to know what they did before I removed them. I'd rather not have that dog turn round and bite me on the backside in the future.
Guest Dylan Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 My phone crashed this morning (thanks Activesync!) so I was forced to re-boot. It still seems to be unlocked (tried Task Manager, Bubblets and Speaking Clock which I assume are all uncert) and the shortcuts have not come back. Can't explain what happened to you JonnyB. Weird...
Guest Will Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 IDEAS? Usbcnect SmsClassZero MMSSvc EzPushRouterRegister eloff coldinit AddContact Hope these help. Will
Guest jonnyb Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 All I did was move the entire contents of IPSM/Windows/StartUp (except SmartFaceMgr shortcut) to my PC via ActiveSync. Powered down and restarted the phone (keen to see any speed improvements). This took the normal amount of time but on completion the phone had reverted back to the default orange home screen and you've guessed it, on checking all the unsigned app’s failed to run. I am guessing the registry must have gotten screwed somehow and a default was restored, whether this was down to moving the files or just coincidence who knows..... For the time being I am going to leave the StartUp files alone.
Guest Hax Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 eloff <<???/ I would assume that this will be something to do with the backlight which is most probably an Electro Luminescent (EL) panel! ;) Hax
Guest madu Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 I recently signed up to "The guinea pig team" and can proudly say that removing the whole lot has had no negative effects so far. Not sure as to how better it became but all works fine. Including new contacts and inserting no's, EL switches off ok, no recert, gprs/email work and so on.. MMS - don't use. COLDINIT - isn't it only supposed to run during 1st boot?? Registering the provisional files that is...
Guest Will Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 madu. tried a sudden power off? (ie removing battery while phone on?) I see most of the effects of these files are in checking/repropagating services, or files. to ensure the phone runs. Let us know how you get on. Will
Guest siu99spj Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 Weird. Removed the startup files and no go with GPRS. Put them back and GPRS worked, also have full signal now and MUCH faster finding the Orange signal. Weird... Will play with them when I'm NOT at work (Weekend)
Guest madu Posted April 30, 2003 Report Posted April 30, 2003 will do some benchmarking in a bit... just let me change the homescreen to something better than I have now and add the new alarm plugin to it.... to be continued..
