HX4700 Lag and choppy scrolling

ORSalesRep · 01-09-05, 01:12 PM

Hiya all

I have a iPAQ HX4705 and have noticed that after a soft reset that upon tapping on the start button, there is a lag before the main pull down menu appears. I noticed when selecting to go to the programs screen and scrolling down through the icons of available program that it seems to scroll choppy. These issues only seem to occur initially after a soft reset and after one time they seem to clear up until I either soft reset again or the unti sits in the powered down stat for a few minutes and then they are back for the initial attempt at either.

Has anyone else seen this or know of a solution?

Thanks
Steve

Welcome to the site!

Sounds like your Main Memory may be bogged down. Typically a soft reset won't fix lag problems as this is similar to rebooting your PC.

I would suggest backing up your PPC and then doing a hard reset, this should remedy the problem.

I have done already tried a hard reset as well, but the problem seems to re-appear.

Steve,

Get ahold of this product Memmaid or a similar one(this one seems to be the most popular). It will clean out your entire system, bad links, registry, duplicate files, ie cache, ie temp files. Plus you can set what you want on startup. It's a great tool. Not sure on the limitations of the trial download, but it's well worth the $12.

Note, I can't guarantee this will fix your problem based on the info I have. Sounds like your main memory is bogged, but maybe not.

hi

Do you have any of the ipaq backup options running the background.
ie
Battery monitoring
backup schedule
If you have then switch these off and see if itmakes any difference.
