SMS/Text Messages Type SLOW - Page 3

I have to agree. I followed everything in this thread and still have a massive lag problem. I never leave more than one task open. It is my one and only complaint with this device actually. Otherwise, I'd consider it a near-perfect device.

Perhaps I will try a plain ROM with no XT9. I have disabled it, cleared my words, upped the delays settings via registry, etc. etc. but it still is a massive problem for me, as I text more than anything on this device.

So yes I agree. Its been months with no fix. I have tried everything. It seems that people either are just not seeing it, or living with it.

These are the things in my Startup folder, if this helps anyone find what might be making it so slow:
-AEBPlus
-batti (I stopped using vistapanel which I liked better, I noticed no difference)
-GAlarm Reload
-poutlook (of course)
-Sensor Lock
-Voice Command

See any similarities those of you still suffering? Perhaps a mod could merge these two threads

Like someone else said, this only happens when SMS typing, not during MS word or Opera or any other program that uses text via keyboard. Not sure what else to do other than to switch roms. Not sure what else is stable other than Mighty Mikes though, seems to be the choice of most.

I am using Juicy 4.7 right now and I personally think the lag is much more tolerable on his ROM. I was using Mike's ROM up till a couple days ago and switched. I will use Juicys for awhile until something bigger and better comes out that beats his.

It works better with some ROMs than others, but it still is awfully slow. It simply is driving me insane.

Despite my best efforts, it seems to persist. A lot of people have tossed the usual "try this CAB" or "have you tweaked the registry" suggestions, which it sounds like a lot of us have already tried. The issue persists, and is confined solely to SMS composition.

My son is a texting monster, I have never seen anybody faster on a T9 phone keypad.

He had a TouchPro for exactly one month before telling me "I absolutely hate this POS, it's almost worthless for texting"

Last night, he called me & told me he sold the TP & went back to an enV 2 so he could get back to texting the way you're supposed to..............

So a little light in this tunnel of slow texting darkness. I have done all the .cabs and registry tweaks and am fairly keen on tweaking HTC phones. But this was new and I over looked it but in the Settings > Input area there is a button for OPTIONS.... Opened that unchecked everything in there. at least a 50% increase in speed, however still lags slightly it is way way way faster than before I'm sure after a soft reset it will be even better assuming their are T9 words cached somewhere. Just a thought for some to try and for those who have already done this we can still look for new ways to speed up the texting.

Sad thing is, I'm just like that. I'm serious when I say I do at least 14,000 a month, and my Touch Pro (despite being an amazing multimedia phone and a great flagship HTC product) drives me completely nuts when it comes to SMS.

It really isn't anything related to the keyboard itself, since it seems to be fine everywhere else. Just... that one screen.

I can't believe this isn't a bigger issue. Nobody discusses it, and the fixes (all of them, trust me, I've searched the forums) don't fix the issue. First person who strips out all of the XT9 seriously is going to be my personal hero.

Useless bump, was simply a placebo though it's back to its slow ways.... It's only decently quick texting for the first hour or so after a soft reset. Someone needs to fix this!!!

Try out the ROM Juicy 4.10 and see how texting is. I typed out 170 text messages and my 170 text message kept up with me pretty damn good.
