Sorry for bringing up an old, old thread, but I'd thought I'd start here rather than cluttering up the official hack thread.

So I get my new Q9c yesterday, find this site, and I'm feeling pretty good about myself. So I find this official hack thread...nice work, fellas. Piece of cake, right? Not for this newbie.

After several frustrating hours I run through Mobile Registry Editor and then tried Resco and BOOM! I can edit the registry. Took a few tries but I got it to work.

My service provider is Sprint. As noted above, I have the Q9c. I tried the first speed hack but when I got to the registry entry I ha, I think, only two options:

(default) (value not set)
and
limit 0x10000 (65536)

Do I need to edit one of these or is the limit line telling me that the device is already set at 65536. I think it's telling me that it's already set,but being new to reg edits, well, I'm not sure. Can anyone add some insight?

Also, did the second speed hack and worked great. Changed the value from0 to 4096 and now my screens are flying by...

Thanks, y'all.

One thing I can't understand is why this wouldn't be a default setting if it improves usability so much.

Very easy even for a newbie like me.

Has anyone done this? I'm being cautious and would like to know if any of you guys/gals have tried this hack yet be fore I try it myself. It's supposed to increase the responsiveness of the Q.

Should I change it to 65535 or 32768? Is there some kind of con to making this change like battery life?

start with the lower #. Some say it reduced battery life others don't. Increasing the cache size did more for me than the other.

So cache to 4096 should be set? I don't really realize a difference.

I noticed some, had a bunch of stuff loaded on Q and not much free space at the time. Haven't redone it after the last master reset.

Oh well my Q is one day old so that's probably why, haha.

Worked like a charm. Many thanks! BTW, for those of you who had trouble using the above listed reg. edit software. Download PHM editor. Worked for me when the others wouldnt (maybe some vista conflict?).
