| Windows Mobile 5 gives us some important new | | | | |
| features including persistent storage. When I | | | | Now, soft reset your device. |
| heard that there was an upgrade for my HP | | | | |
| iPAQ hx2410 Pocket PC I was eager to upgrade, | | | | |
| along with many others. Unfortunately, the | | | | |
| upgrade has not been smooth for many and | | | | We aren't done yet, although you will |
| performance has been a real problem. But I | | | | probably notice a difference in performance |
| can tell you that the performance issue is | | | | right away. |
| solved by doing the following:*If you are not | | | | |
| comfortable with editing your registry you | | | | |
| should not do so, just get the newest version | | | | |
| of Tweaks2k2* Using a registry editor lookup | | | | Now, you need to stop Activesync from |
| and change the following three values: | | | | periodically starting on it's own. To do so |
| | | | open Activesync on your WM5 device and tap on |
| | | | Menu>Add Server Source. Add any info to |
| HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemStorageManagerFATFSCa | | | | create a fake server sync. After that is |
| cheSize=0x1000(4096) | | | | complete go to Menu>Schedule and change the |
| | | | two dropdowns to "Manual" and tap "ok" at the |
| | | | top right. You can now go to Menu>Options and |
| HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemStorageManagerFATFSEn | | | | delete the Exchange Server setting you just |
| ableCache=0x1(1) | | | | added. Now Activesync will not start when you |
| | | | cradle your device. |
| | | | |
| HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemStorageManagerFilters | | | | |
| fsreplxfiltReplStoreCacheSize=0x1000(4096) | | | | |
| | | | Error Reporting is real drain on the battery |
| | | | and on performance. It is simple to disable, |
| | | | just go to Start>Settings>System(tab) and tap |
| Be sure to choose Tools>Exit in order to | | | | the Error Reporting icon. Change the setting |
| have the settings applied to the registry and | | | | to "Disable error reporting". |
| then turn off your Windows Mobile device, | | | | |
| don't reset yet! You have to do this because | | | | |
| WM5 keeps some things in RAM and by cycling | | | | |
| the power it will write to ROM. | | | | For good measure, soft reset again. |
| | | | Everything should be MUCH snappier!! |
