What do you mean with slow ? Can you give some examples..

What's the memory status when it's slow, many running programs ?
What rom version, cradled or uncradled, why not try a soft reset first ?

[edit]

the wifi tool does nog enable BT. Id you mean the button on de axims left side, it turns on/off the device you did not manually changed the last time.

I answered to a couple of my friends having the same issues...Almost all of them have lots of MP3, Pictures in their \My Documents folder and use up all RAM...
Please check! and keep your main memory as clean as possible...Move .tsk files (Wallpaper) to storage card...

A06, uncradled, no AS, slow at everything rly, and my docs is spartan (got an sd card for that!) run pocket mechanic to no avail!

Why would this be the reason? I don't have a good understanding of a
memory layout model of X51v, but thought that "RAM" is a separately
allocated area that does not overlap with the area where \My Documents
is stored.

my docs is on the ROM, but it still doesnt hurt to keep it clean!

I owned two X51v (one got lost), the first one was very slow and the second is normal just look like another model. I guess some machines are defective. Call for a replacement if it's abnormally slow.

erm, its a refurb so im not sure where i stand with that!

If it's without any 3th party software after a hard reset extremely slow.. it's probably defect. I Think i had a x3i once with similar problems, the sd-socket was defective (didn't recognized the sd cards either) and it was extremely slow within 15min after a hard reset.

nerdy_me · 05-17-06, 05:53 AM

Sorry to say this but I think your unit's defective. Unless you've hacked the Axim, it should be as good as new after a hard reset. My advice is to do one final hard reset, and remove the SD and CF cards. If it's still really slow get a replacement.

BTW, my Axim was a rather slow immediately after a hard reset, but subsequently the speed improved. Hope it's not a defect, but has anyone else had this problem?

Duke_Box · 05-17-06, 07:43 AM

somtimes it's reformatting the ram after a reset.. that can cause the axim to be slow.. but after a min. or 5 it should be normal..

right, so ive just done the fake server trick, when you say wipe it, could i then run or a backup or would i have to start from scratch?

Just got mine in the mail yesterday. No additional software was installed and it is damn slow, what I mean by slow is the wifi connection. It takes helluva time (up to 15-20 minutes) just to open a simple webpage, sometime the connection even times out.
I heard the wifi performance on PDAs is not great, but not to this extent. I tried hard resets, removing flash cards to no avail.

Am I one of those unlucky chaps?
Any tips?

Try other networking services - for example, accessing your POP3 mailbox - to see whether it's only IEM that is affected, or all networking clients.
