Threaded SMS - I Dont Understand - Page 2

In my experience, I couldn't use my phone without it. The built-in SMS is DRASTICALLY slower than the threaded SMS, so if speed is your complaint, I'm not sure why you have a problem with the threaded SMS. Otherwise it's a notable improvement over the built-in as far as organization goes, and I'd have a hard time going back to a standard phone's way of handling SMS.

As noted, if you don't like it, you don't like it. That's fine. There's no special tricks to it. What it is is what it is, and what it is is a much better form of SMS than the crappy, slow, built-in SMS.

To each their own I guess.. I prefer the default sms (non-threaded) as well..

I prefer smoke signals, but that's just me.

It is absolutely not faster. The program takes substantially longer to load. I use it too, but speed is not it's key.

I don't think he means the initial time to launch the app being faster.

Once it's launched you can just exclude it from closing out.

Are we using different threaded SMS apps? I'm using the one codyppc provided a while back. The load time for the built-in text messages is painful, but this one, which is a process and does NOT show up in running programs, is snappy and responsive. I can use X-Button to end all tasks, then hit the button for SMS and, at most, it takes two seconds to appear, and the text messages respond instantly. It took at least twice that to use the built-in SMS functionality, and each message was a chore to load.

Yes, you can.

However, you will not find a link here because Palm asked us to remove them due to this application being their intellectual property.
