Sluggish X5

Recently (well for the last few weeks) my Axim will sometimes be very slow to respond almost to the point of locking up. Even soft rebooting doesn't help. For example sometimes I may have to wait 30 seconds too be able to enter my password. Or when I click on the Start button it may be 15 or 20 seconds before the menu pops out. It's mainly an intermintent problem.

Go into your memory settings and see if you have too many apps installed in Main Memory. If so, uninstall them and see if that helps.

Also, it helps to delete temp files such as those found in Pocket Internet Explorer. A utility such as MemMaid can help you with such tasks.

Also check to see if your processor speed is set to max. It may be on the power save mode, which could slow it down.

Thanks for the suggestions. Here is another weird thing. Right now after I was finally able to get into my Axim I had the e-mail open and when I tried to close the program by clicking on X the text entry menu pops up. It thinks I am clicking on the bottom right instead of the top right. I have done a screen alignment but it didn't help. I wonder if this problem is related to the SPB Pocket Plus program. Anyone else had problems with this program?

This sounds like the screen issue seen widely. Does the "keyboard" appear at the bottom of the screen? Does squeezing the sides of the unit help or running a thin card around the edge of the screen? Did you get stuck in aloop during alignment?

If so this could be the problem. Dont panic there is a solution!

Wow, squeezing the sides does seem to help. What is the solution?

Yup that sounds like the problem. The flexi connector issue (as suffered by yours truely and many others). The fix works for me and is pretty simple.
From personal experience you have caught the issue early on. belive me when you get to the "D*mn thing wonk work again" mode you really get upset! Whoever solved this gets my eternal thanks!!!

Thanks much for the link. I found another aximsite thread last night by searching for the word "squeezed". Finding the answer is quite often related to asking the right question. I plan to try the fix today.
