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 don't get it. The only time I've ever had a problem with texting going slow was when I had VistaHide installed.

I don't have ANY lag when text messaging or e-mailing anymore, other than maybe an extra half a second to let WM load up the messaging app, but when I'm actually typing, the screen goes as fast as I do, and I type pretty fast on it.

It has to be either something user-installed software related, or maybe just something that us MightyROM users don't experience, but I haven't had this issue in a long time.

Does anyone else think this is possibly an issue with the used characters calculation? In the SMS application, the only thing thats different from say Word Mobile or an email message is the calculator in the menu bar that tells you how many characters are remaining. This seems to be the only difference I can see. I also noticed that during times of lag, the character counter blinks. The longer the lag, the more it blinks... somewhat indicating to me that maybe it is the culprit. Has anyone experimented with ways to turn this off, or move it so somewhere that might be updated more often (as far as I know, the WM taskbar is slow to update, it has a lag of a few hundred MS... combine that with a dynamic battery gauge such as VistaHide and I can see where it would slow to a crawl)

I just switched from Threaded to Classic texting mode and the calculator moving from the taskbar to the bottom of the text input area made no difference. Maybe theres a way to just shut it off completely?

I use SSK's newest ROM and use the physical slide out keyboard and I have typing lag, so I feel your pain. I have autocorrect, and autotext or whatever turned off...

It is definitely annoying!!

Merdin's 6.5 has no lag either (it's the first ROM I've ever been able to say that about)

I think someone should look into this... He could be on to something

and ohhhh myyyy, what happened......no lag.

not for nothing, but I don't save texts, I delete them throughout the day and I still have lag...

I am by no means an expert, but has anyone tried sms160.cab yet? especially for those of you with custom ROMs

I guess this would only apply to sprint phones, but worth a shot
