So i been using the touch pro 2 since release and i love it. im still a bit new to windows mobile i had change roms before and other things but im still new and still learning. here a list of things i hate and im hoping the mature windows mobile users can guide me for a solution.

1. The phone gets slow just having opera and the music player on. at times it just seems to get slow with messages and emails etc etc.
2. the java client needs to be restarted when using opera mini when the keyword its open.
3. internet explorer as a default browser sucks its slow
4. i cant find a nice twitter app i have pocket twit and cetwit maybe you guys know a better one.

the main problem its the lag seem the more i play with it memory and ram gets slow. so maybe im doing something wrong. i already installed auto clean free up ram and skt tools. thanks in advance

Got my TP2 the day of release and haven't experienced any lags. Have you tried a hard reset?

That's the problem with all WinMo phones. The more apps you use the more they bog down. You should use Task Manager to close unused apps. If you have your email set to check very often it will also get slow. If you don't need email all the time, then set it to check for email manually. Every time you finish using an app, go to Task Manager and close it; otherwise it remains open.

1 - When you notice it running slow, check Task Manager to see which apps are taking up all your memory
2 - It may not be actual programs taking up your memory that causes the slowness, it could be a program that automatically updates in the background(i.e. - Dashwire) that could cause it to lag a bit because it sucks processor speed up a bit.
3 - Skyfire is a memory whore...but it shouldn't be an issue unless you have multiple instances of the same app running
4 - Any apps that you've installed since you got the phone, check to see if any of them try to run at start-up.  On occasion, Photo Contacts will start to bug out on me and never COMPLETELY load until I physically open the app.  After that, it's fine.

Those are the only things I can think of off top.  Hope one of those helps.

Welcome to Winmo :) lol...if the phone gets a bit laggy just check out what apps open are taking up a bunch of memory and close them. It's nice to have multiple things open and multi-task but not to the point where it slows the phone down a bunch.
