Mobility Site - View Single Post - Pocket PC Slow start-up?

froggy_doddy · 10-09-04, 03:19 PM

I've had my X30hi for a while now. My wife has one too. I switched from PALM to PPC and love the pocket pc operating system, except for one thing: GOD, IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO BECOME USABLE ONCE TURNED ON. With Palm, you turn on your unit and your ready to write. With Pocket PC, it's like you have to wait a good 15 seconds for things to load everytime you turn it on. This happens even when the device is set at 624Mhz. It's so annoying. Is it like this for everyone? When I turn on my PPC, I want to start writing or browsing RIGHT AWAY! I don't want to have to wait for the device to "become ready". After that first little while, the Axim is blazing fast.

I'm trying to figure out if maybe I have software on my Axim that's causing this or if this is the case with all Pocket PC's? (I hope it isn't!!)

Please let me know.

Thanks
