WM6.5 MAPI / SMS performance
 

WM6.5 sucks for a number of reasons, but the killer is undoubtedly the horrendous performance of the MAPI subsystem. Once a few hundred texts are built up (which can easily happen in half a day) then it grinds to a halt. It shouldn't take 5 minutes to delete 300 texts. That's just ludicrous.

Are there fixes for this? Do any of the custom WM ROMs out there address this problem, or are they more eyecandy and shell / GUI improvements?

I don't really have an answer for you, but I find myself able to stack as many texts as I want before deleting.. I never get any bogging down or what not.. Try OC the phone and see what that does for you..

this is an issue .. but not as big as your making it out to be . right now I have 1224 texts stored on my phone , I cleared it up last week . I only see a small lag in opening up my conversation with Sarah , as that conversation has the most texts . I don't think its that big an issue . like it was stated , OC or have a Mort script clear the texts out every night or so .

u could try a 21916 rom (sharkie,vin,userROM,LEAD ROM). These roms do have the SMS lag issue but it doesn't last long and it only does it the first time u open each long thread. u could also try a 6.1 rom, this version of the OS doesn't have the lag at all.

I'm running Android because the texting issue is, and always has been, so bad. I've been using a TP2 for over a year as my main phone, and have had two (one new replacement under insurance). So I know this isn't a problem specific to one device. The problem happens regardless of what texting software I'm using, so it's clear it is in the actual database and messaging API in which the messages are stored and retrieved.

Let 500 messages build up from one person. Then delete them all and see how long that takes. Then go into the delete messages folder and permanently delete them and see how long that takes. It takes mine a matter of minutes.

Re: WM6.5 MAPI / SMS performance
 

yea really looks like a bash thread especially with how he worded everything.

Re: WM6.5 MAPI / SMS performance
 

Well if op wants to vent or bash its his thread so no harm imo, you gave him fix so its his choice to try that or not.

And let's not assume anything about the OP. He could just be genuinely frustrated. I experienced what he's talking about back in my winmo days. Always did a hard reset to fix it.
