SMS/Text Messages Type SLOW

[Matt]

I can definitely say that at least DCDs 96 (Win 6.1 ROM) had NO keyboard lag. Haven't tried his new 1.05 yet which is Win 6.5, but about to try it.

After my keyboard finally just died, I fixed the issue by taking it to the Sprint store where they gave me a whole new keyboard and flashed it to Stock Sprint ROM. I've never seen my keyboard work so quickly! I think I will be sticking with the Stock ROM bc it has the best performance in terms of texting. Isn't that sad!?

Bradyonly found a temp solution by changing a file in the windows folder that takes away the count process. (aka it doesnt have the little counter X/160)

Not taking credit for this find, just leading people in the right direction.

This sucks! I'm having exactly the same problem and it's ONLY when using the hardware keyboard in SMS. The retarded T9 pops up which slows the entire thing down extremely slow. I'm using Calkulin's 21051 rom.

I've already did the obvious stuff like turning off the T9 and autocomplete and so-so. Changing the software keyboard doesn't do anything either.

Seriously, hasn't anyone made a cad file that completely removes the T9? I mean for phones like this it's practically useless.

i don't know if this helps any but i noticed that sometimes the slowness is in other applications like palringo as well. not as often but it's still there.
