Frame rate drops with POI shown e.g. Speed Camera

Guys,

Just got my Rikaline 6033 a few days ago and been playing around with TT5 quite a bit Wink

Anyhow, I noticed severe frame rate reduction on my xda II mini running TT5.21 when POI are shown on the map, especially when the speed detectors locations are shown. Anybody experience similar symptom here?

Anything that could be done to increase the performance?

Thanks in advance.

Cheers.

Welcome to the forum, instead of having the Enable POI options ticked for the cameras just use the Warn when near POI option instead, this will put the refresh rate back to a more normal display - Mike

I figured the same thing this morning while driving to work (still playing with my TT ) Rolling Eyes

I had turned off the POI but still getting the voice warning on the speed cameras. Is that the only way around? Is it not possible to 'tweak' it a bit for better display performance?

Make sure you have no programs running in the background and keep the POI's switched off. Also try with Street names on and off to see if there is a difference.

You will see that your PDA has a lower CPU than most of the newer models which are about 400Mhz. If my memory serves me correctly its a 201Mhz CPU on the XDA MINI S as they lowered the CPU to increase battery life etc.

My PDA is the first xdaII mini (not the mini-S) which is based on Intel PXA272 416Mhz chip. Anyway, I don't believe the processor is at fault. The more pertinent issue here maybe is the amount of free built-in storage & program memory. I normally have between 6-11MB free only. Wondering how much you guys normally have?

That's without TOMTOM running.

Is this an O2 device per chance? and if so has the device been configured to load the O2 "Active Interface" onto the desktop? the reason I ask is that I have experianced serious problems when this is loaded I must add that these problems were on other XDA devices and not the one you are experiancing problems with, but it might be worth considering if it is loaded, the unfortunate part is that to remove it requires a hard reset - Mike

Yes, this is an O2 device. However, I've never encountered any O2 "Active Interface" before. When you say 'desktop', did you mean the 'Today' page?

Hi guys, Just thought I would add my two cents worth the XDA mini in the same phone as the Imate Jam and as such only has 64md memory for device storage and program running. So that works out as 32mb each way.

My suggestion it so move all of your program storage to a memory card and thus increase the amount of memory running programs can use. I use to have a Jam and that was how I got it to perform better.
