My axim has become extremly slow. I was charging it, then unplugged it and turned it on, and it hasn't been the same since. any clues?

Have you done a soft reset?

I guess old age has finally caught up with your X5. Time for a youthful X51v!

I've done a soft reset several times, and hard reset several times. This happened like two years ago, I just dug it out again, and was wondering if i could fix it or mod it into something else. and I don't have the money to buy another PPC, I'm a poor working college student living on his own.

EDIT: When you move the stylus around in little circles in some empty space on the screen it speeds up a little.

Don't know if this will help, but hey, it couldn't hurt either! Expecially if you use the internet...

Goto Internet Explorer and goto TOOLS>OPTIONS>DELETE FILES

When I first got my X5, I used up all of my memory and took forever to get anything done....

Hope this helps!

Sure its really slowing down after a hard reset????

Mine was doing something like that.... come to find out I was installing all my software to the internal memory, so it was bogging it down....

Get a SD card and install most of your apps to it.....
