SMS/Text Messages Type SLOW

[jmorton10]

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.

That may be slightly better, but it's not the cure to the problem.

My son was using that ROM when he sold the phone in .

I just wanted to mention that not only am I experiencing slow laggy texting but whenever I type using the hardware keyboard it tends to type some letters twice. It's happening a lot, actually. For instance:

"ddamn this is aa hot mmess."

I tried Vito SMS and texting on that was even worse. I'm using the latest version of MightyRom 4 with EzInput installed and all those t9 options disabled. This is super frustrating.

I noticed that it's only in the SMS program that it has the most lag with. I kind of tested this with MyMobiler, just a remote tool to connect to your phone through a computer (I smashed the screen so I had to use this for a week and figured I'd play around with it.) I opened notes, typed about a paragraph worth of notes from work and it kept up and I type about 60 WPM on a normal keyboard. No typos or missing characters. Then I opened up SMS and did the same thing. More than 40% of the words were missing letters and a few of the words were stuck together without spaces. I swear Viking Mike is onto something with that character counter.
