hi guys,

Lets not blame your device to be buggy and switch to another alternative device...why not look at how to make your device more stable???

I have compiled certain rules recommended to be followed after having multiple PMs to ask on how to make the device more stable...so far it works for the guys and I will be sharing with you guys on the rules...


1. Installing softwares at wrong locations
==============================
This will increase the chance of software conflicts...

for example, know what to install at Device ROM and what to install in SD Card...

Today Plugin related (PhoneAlarm, Spb Pocket Plus, Omega Battery Pack Pro), SIP related (CE-Star, Monster Chinese), Task Manager related (vBar, Inclose Mobile, Magic Button), PIM related (Agenda Fusion, Pocket Informant) should go to device ROM memory
Games related and other softwares can go to your SD card...

2. Impulse installation
===================
try not to install too much softwares in your device...by doing so, will increase the chances of software conflicts and also decrease the memory of the device thus directly affecting the performance of the device too...

always remember, install softwares that you use frequently and avoid impulse installing (install softwares, not using and leaving it there for a very long time)

3. Install programs that are WM5.0 compliant
=================================
Its highly recommended to install programs that are WM5.0 compliant...installing non WM5.0 compliant softwares might increase the chances of a software conflicts...

4.Registry Editing
================
Registry editing found in the Tips and Tricks section also helps in improving the stability of the device...

5.Upgrade to the latest ROM
======================
Always make sure that the ROM is upgraded to the latest one...previous ROM might be buggy and usually the latest ROM will fix all if not most of the bugs encountered in the previous ROM...

by following these golden rules mentioned above, I am pretty sure that you will have a much more stable machine...

please feel free to add if you guys have any other pointers to add towards a more stable device...

Would like to add one more "rule":

Use Oxios Memory 1.40 free utility to squeeze out more Ram, it will add to stability of device.

See
http://www.oxios.com/

Additional rule for OEM:
Configure more Free Program Ram like HP iPAQ rw6828/18! It will brings stability to your device.

great softwares, installed and tested :)

yup! great software! installed with no problem! thx

Can this software be used on Dopod 838 pro?

Of course cam. Pls try no harm. So far all who tried it has given it a thumbs up. Free and good utility.

Wow , it works ... ahem ... hey, if crash can come find ya ? hehe...jux kiddin :p

For refund? Since you pay nothing no refund, sorry pal

Additional TIP: Oxios Memory can be binded to your Buttons. I replaced my Record button with Oxios CloseApps and I just press this button to regain lost memory. Haven't RESET my device lately. :-)

Thanks for great tip.

can wm2003 use it? will it crash?

Thanks for great tip

wohoohoo, downloading to try, thanks matey.

eh, where should this be installed? Device ROm or SD card?

I suggest you install it into your device ROM since you most likely will be using it often...

It working fine with WM6 as well.

free one somemore..good

hiya guys.. thanks to rivaldo for the wonderful advice..

would like to ask if there should be a specific location or folder i should create and install my programs if i were to install on my storage card memory?

had tried before to install some apps but found that it doesnt work or the icon is nowhere to be found.. so i had to install all my programs on the local drive itself.. can anyone please offer more advice to me? :)

thanks in advanced

hi clarence80,

you need not create a special folder for installations done in the storage card...for programs, normally after the installation, it will reside in \My Device\Storage Card\Program File\...and normally an icon will be created at Start, Programs...if you cant find it, go to the path that I specified earlier to look for your program...the startup file will normally be there...

Hi clarence80,

nice to see you here haha..

maybe you can list out the apps you are trying to install so members here can advise you.

Hi All,

I just installed oxios memory and i noticed that when i have an application opened and then i go open another application without closing the last one, the oxios memory application closes the last one on its own. Have you guys experienced and is there a way around it? Thanks.

hmm hi rivaldo, thanks so much for your replies.
i couldnt find a folder called program files in my storage card.. thats what i was looking for earlier when i installed programs in storage card..

btw.. i tried many times to play a mp3 with the preinstalled media player, but i kept getting the same message like outta memory.. anything to help this out?

thanks so much in advanced again. maybe i should add u guys in msn. :)

well thanks to your pathway, i might have never noticed this thread, :)

hmm i dont remember what i tried to install, but i remember that there was quite a number.. the latest one was google maps. tried installing but wouldnt work.

any apps to recommend though?

i did the registry tweak, got oxio, and the gprs stopper.

Hi Clarence80,

For softwares i cant really direct you to any that you should or must install, its an individual preference thingy also, for starters you may like to refer to the recommended software list HERE, read through and determine what are your needs and wants before you try it.

it is good.
thump up... Thanks sifu rivaldo
