Some Questions - Motorola Q Forum

williamfletcher · 10-07-2007, 06:30 PM

I owned the original Q and went through 5 before deciding it was time for something different. I installed no third party software but still had numerous problems. I went to the store to buy the 8830 but left with the Q9m because I love the wireless sync option for my personal email. My problem is with how slow the Q is compared with the alternatives. I have been searching the forums for ways to increase the speed and reliability of the phone but still have questions.

1.Do I need third party software to do speed hacks and if so what and where to get it?

2.If I need additional software are the hacks pretty simple? Keep in mind I have never done any before.

3.What are the best hacks? I really don't mind the browser being slow but I hate the phone taking so long to launch programs and do simple things like change between screens.

I do apprecaite any help in advance I have been searching through the post in these and other forums for clear answers to these questions before I take the phone back and get the 8830 that I don't like near as much as the Q.

pyrobling did some Q1 hacks on a Q9, find his thread.. kind of senseless to repeat what he wrote... if you really searched you should have found the answers.

posted on the Q.

Well I figured that might be the kind of response that i got. I did search and it seemed to me that every one so far has ended with people not doing them right or having problems afterwards. I was thinking that since some time had gone by and maybe some tweaks done I could get a clearer response on what to do and how it affected the phone.

I did and I tried to install resco explorer but it would not install on my phone. It said that it was not for my firmware. I would like to get this program working so that I can try some hacks.

Try PHM Registry editor or Total Commander CE. Both are freeware.

will do. Thanks

well I tried the PHM registry editor and it keeps telling me that the installer was interrupted and must be restarted but the same things keeps happening.

Total Commander CE has support for WM6 and a support forum so maybe you should try that.
