speed up your windows phone 10 works 100% and tested

This is as far as I got on my 950xl and gave up after having the same problem as you

same as me with my 950xl

Minimized apps does get restored faster without the "resuming....." after I did this registry edit.
This works.
Thanks OP !
Much needed registry edit for 640XL .

I am using v1.7 of Interop tools.
I had to Interop unlock by Restore NDTKSvc option to allow for registry edits under system.
You can write values and make them stick even if you are using the registry browser in Interop Tools v1.7
Why I am using v1.7 is that it doesn't require any additional files to be installed.

it does, you just dont remember installing them by now

for x50 lumias guys you can unlock it with the latest interoptools go to settings and there's a checkbox below the unlock for older lumias, but I dont know if that is a full reg unlock and maybe you cant edit this particular entry

the "seems faster" thing is probably coming from 2gb phones since I'm feeling like its just a placebo on the icon, but my 928 can now hold the same number of apps as my icon, I'm pretty sure it was capped at half the background apps as the icon before, and they show a quicker black screen instead of a "loading-resuming" when opening from task switcher, thats definitely an improvement, also less crashing

pretty self explanatory really, if your phone is running out of memory all the time, increasing pagefile size will help, specially when it apparently its locked at a paltry 256mb for some reason, nothing new here, but at 2gb there's not much you can do to max that out on w10m, at least not with my usual activities, so 3gb+ guys can ignore this completely

Unfortunately, that function doesn't work. When I tap Continue, nothing happens.

The thing is that 3 GB isn't enough for Messenger Calls, you need a 512 MB Pagefile as well.

This has been proven by more than one user, which makes me wonder it this is related to the incredibly slow startup times in FB and Messenger, bad programming.

My messenger takes 18 seconds to start, and FB a bit more, that's ridiculous.

How about Facebook ? - does it load faster ? (well, Facebook is extremely slow to load even with faster Lumias, like 950)

Sorry I don't use facebook.

Does your 18 seconds include the time to restart the app after it crashes?

My Idol has 4GB of RAM and it's like molasses in December so don't feel too bad.

Edit: I'm not sure that I got my phone unlocked at this point...

1024 MB Paging file does not improve Facebook or Messenger load time on my 950.

No Messenger Call button either.

I finally unlocked my 950 by combining info from several xda threads.

whats really weird is a guy on reddit stating that his fb messenger now shows a voice call button with 1gb pagefile

after playing with it for a while it seems really quirky, sometimes it will show 0 bytes as pagefile essentially telling you there's no pagefile and you can tell by looking at file explorer, setting it at 2048 and so on

btw if your phone is old and you feel the storage has slowed down, this will probably kill it faster, using the main storage nand as ram will degrade it faster than normal, probably a reason microsoft set 256mb max for all phones

The question is how much faster..

 

[slyronit]

Bigger pagefile is helpful in devices with less RAM; I doubt this will make the 950/950XL much faster, as they have sufficient RAM to not depend on the pagefile as much as the lower end devices.

valid paging file size for 950 xl
1792 1792

really much faster
very noticeable increased performance

This is what people need to know, thanks for telling that. I didn't know that.

Go to the Interop Unlock section of Interop Tools
If restore NDTK isn't on, turn it on, and reboot your device

There's no doubt about that. I was just curious if it would affect certain app performance, given that 3 GB of RAM isn't enough for having Messenger Calling for some odd reason. At the same time a 1 GB phone with increased Paging file will get that feature.

So, in theory it seems pointless to try this on a 950, but experience shows that it's not that simple.

No, I meant how much faster the memory degrades, see the quote in my post.

Does this activate video calling too or just calls? When I click on a contact in Messenger without this registry edit, both video and calls are greyed out. I still find this crazy on a 950xl when I have a Moto G 3rd gen budget android with 1gb ram that handles those functions no problem at all. Even WhatsApp video calls on my 950xl are laggy and jittery

DON'T DO IT!!! It will decrease phone internal memory life due to increased read write, it's not worth the risk!

Hmmm, if current paging file is 1792 ... but an optimal paging file is usually 1 - 1,5 times more than RAM, so it could be 3072 or even up to 4568 for Lumia 950 / 950 XL ... anybody tried such high numbers ?

About decreasing of a life of storage (NAND), I am NOT worring about that as I have not ever heard even a single such case. I think that it is just a similar case like with SSDs - it takes years until it could really happen for average users ...

I'm not sure, the screenshot shows a phone in the upper right corner on the Home page, next to the plus sign.

I think it's up to each and everyone. Let's say you have a 520 (do they even run W10M?) and you're about to put it on the shelf just because it's slow, then you don't have much to loose.

Besides, 256 MB is a very small step.

thats what several layers of nonsense does to your performance when you try to emulate something on a completely alien platform, huge inefficiency is assured
