[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
My unit has been freezing up after some use. When that happens, my TenGO input method reverts back to the default tiny keyboard, which of course is unuseable in true VGA mode. I traced the problem to the fact that my browser had stored lots of files within the device and caused the memory availability to fall, depriving it from the programs.

I changed these browser files location to the SD card, and my TenGo input method right away came back by itself. The system also revert back to the normal quick speed.

None of these ideas originated from myself. There are many websites giving these tips.

Changing the IE brower cache, cookies, and history location:

---------------------------------------------------------

The IE working files are by default located at :

\windows\profiles\guest\temporory internet files

\windows\profiles\guest\Cookies

\windows\profiles\guest\history

First, use Files Explorer to create these directories at storage card:

\windows\profiles\guest\temporory internet files

\windows\profiles\guest\Cookies

\windows\profiles\guest\history

Then Use a registry edit tool,go to

\HKCU\Software\Microsfot\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders and change the Cache,Cookies, and History value to \Storage Card\Windows\Profiles\Guest\Temporary Internet Files,..... etc

If you prefer not to edit the registry directly youself, you could alternatively, use SKtools (I use version 3.1.5) to do the following:

Start SKTool, then click Tuning

The first tab shows the current location of the above. Change it to the new locations: ie

Storage Card\windows\profiles\guest\temporory internet files

Storage Card\windows\profiles\guest\Cookies

Storage Card\windows\profiles\guest\history

Exit SKtools

Switch off the device for about 20 seconds before doing a reset. It is important that you do not do reset right away else the registry entry may not be effected. The switching off will cause the system to write out the new registry entries.

With that, its done for Internet Explorer.

Changing the Cache, cookies, and history location for Opera Mobile

----------------------------------------------------------------

Ensure Opera is not running before you begin.

First,create these directories using file explorer:

\Storage Card\Application Data\Opera

\Microdrive\My Documents

Then, copy Cache4, cacheOp Help imgcss skin strtpage style directories to \storage card\Application Data\Opera.

After the copying is verified to be accurate, clean the content in the above directories in the device, but leave the directory structure there (with empty content) just in case.

Then, transfer these files from device to storage card by cutting these file from device and pasting to storage card

-browser

-chartables

-cookies4

-global

-htm40_entities

-opcacrt6

-opera.dir

-operand

-opssl6

-vlink4

Leave these in device directory :

-brwoser

-de

-englihs

-html40.entities

-input

-ja

-nl

-opera.ini

-opera6.adr

-pl

-ru

-zh-cn

-zh-tw Note: I think this list of languages differ from country to country. Notice that I've replicated browser and html40.entities in both location because none of the websites I read mentioned them. I leave them at both location to ensure it will still work, but I'd later on tried removing them from one location at a time to establish where Opera would look for these files.

Make changes to Opera.ini file

----------------------------

Initially, I tried to use Note application to open Opera.ini, but found out that it can't seem to "see" the file. Same goes for Pocket Word. I could'nt find the solution from other website, so I decided to use the desktop notepad text editor to edit it.

a) Establish activesync, on PC, use explore button to copy from device\Application Data\Opera to say the desktop.

b) Use the desktop notepad to open the Opera.ini file, and make the following changes to these entries:

- Opera Directory=\Storage Card\Application Data\Opera

- Help Directory=\Storage Card\Application Data\Opera\Help

- Button Set=\Storage Card\Application Data\Opera\skin\windows_skin.zip

- Download Directory=\Microdrive\My Documents

- Home URL=\Storage Card\Application Data\Opera\startpage\home.html

c) Then save the document as Opera.ini, and make sure encoding is UTF-8

d) Copy back the edited Opera.ini from desktop to the Device's main memory. i.e \Application Data\Opera

Its done.

I'll continue to monitor the device performance over the next few weeks and see if the freezing still happens.
