how to handle wm6.5 text freeze

**orangekid** · #1 (**permalink**) 06-30-2009, 03:02 PM

so almost anyone using any build of any 6.5 rom has probably had the confounded text freeze, when you send a txt message and you cant exit out of the text screen for a minute or two. some say turn power off and back on, but that works maybe 25% of the time. Here's what I have been doing that seems to be working. All ideas on better handlings and maybe even a fix would be appreciated, although no chefs seem to know what the exact cause of this thing is, its still present in the 23001 build:

after you send a text message, hit ok on the top right, then DO NOT hit the X or click on another message thread for about 3 seconds or so, just chill for 3 seconds. THEN go ahead and close out the screen or select another thread. This has been working 100% of the time for me, I hope it helps. I don't know why or how, but it seems to work with no problems or freezes.

i have been on Groovrom5 for the past couple of weeks and have not had this problem...his newest one is fast and very stable.

been using groove5 all morning, it does the text freeze just like every other 6.5 rom, maybe I just have more saved txt threads. I don't even need them so I may just not restore my txt messages on my next pimbackup, let you guys know if that fixes it. I'm gonna go back to DaReeseBoy's 23001, It's the best 6.5 rom I've used so far.

I don't save my text messages beyond a day.

and I'm guessing you dont get txt freeze on 6.5 either?

do you manually delete the threads or is there a "delete after one day" settings?

edit: isnt mightrom a 6.1 anyways? so were you doing this with 6.5?

I just manually deleted it. And I was on MightyROM5 Beta for a while but I encountered a bug with Windows Media Player and sound not working after a while if I got several text message notifications. But it was mostly stable, yet I wanted stability so I went back to 4 Final.

This happens when you have tons of texts in your inbox or deleted items...empty those out and it doesn't happen.

yeah i noticed, but if I want to keep all of my archived txt messages there should be a fix, the processor isnt that slow is it
