Slow messaging app - Thunderbolt General

Hey, ive noticed that the default messaging app is pretty slow to load or send messages. I even tried handcent and got the same issue. It's like a 2-3 second lag when opening the app or selecting a specific message. Does anyone else have the same issue? Wasn't this bad on my nexus :/

I use handcent and its almost instant when I send or load messages. I don't like the stock message app so I never really tried with that one.

Do you have a specific setting to make it faster??

I use Go sms. It is free and pretty fast. The delay could also be happening if you have a lot of messages though. That would slow down any sms app.

The HTC messaging app had been criticized for having this slow issue before, so nothing new. Just use handcent or similar.

Handcent is instantaneous with send/receive, plus pop up text, can't go wrong.

Just switched to gosms, no lag so far

I've had this issue. Actually i've had issues where the entire device gets so slow i have to reboot. This hasn't happened since i changed kernels. I use smartkeyboard pro too, so i reduced the length of time of the haptic feedback and that helped too.

That's why I use go sms.

Anyone having issues with Handcent?

Iv had my evo for a week now and i used handcent on my samsung moment with no problem but on the evo i noticed that if i dont open a message immediatly the phone will stay awake. (screen will black out but phone is still running) Iv verified this in spare parts. I had over an hour of usage from handcent in partial wake usage.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I love the way handcent work and its layout. Iv checked in handcents settings and nothing should keep the phone from staying awake. my evo is stock with root.
I've been using Handcent since I've had the EVO. Like you I came from the Moment too. I've had no issues.

Seems so.I've had no reboots either side from accident holding the power button too long and it rebooting on me... lol
This is an example of people not understanding what issues are. I had to stop your video when I saw it.
The keyboard lags in the MESSAGING app. Not anywhere else. Any SMS client with any keyboard will have the lag. To repeat, the actual bug is "lags when typing text messages." So no, people aren't smoking crack. Just you and several others don't seem to understand the actual issue.
Not trying to dog you out, just misinformation is one of my pet peeves.

Lol.. you still don't get it.. switching the SMS app doesn't get rid of the lag. My point exactly.

Strange... I use handcent and better keyboard fully customized and I have no lag on this or stock keyboard in messaging or any app for that matter
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Well if using handcent fixes the lag, then I stand corrected. I used the default keyboard, gingerbread keyboard from the market, swype, default SMS app and go SMS. All combinations produced the lag after a bit of texting, not just just one sentence.
If you can type out a paragraph using handcent without it slowing down then I will shut up. And thank you for finding a workaround.

Google Voice extremely slow!

Am I the only one who has been noticing this? The app takes several second to load, freezes for a few second whenever I send or receive a text, and pretty much whenever it feels like. This has been going on for weeks or longer, but it's finally pushed me over the edge in annoyance. Anyone know how to fix it?
Googling only showed purple having problems with older version, but I have the most recent from the Market on my Atrix with Kenneth's Gingerbread rom.

Ever think its a rom issue?
Thought about that, but I've had the problem since before then I'm almost positive. Should have thought to add that. Thank you though!

Text Message Issue

So I've noticed that ever since this OTA update from almost 2 months ago happened, my phone has been acting weird with the standard messaging app. When I go to text someone (I know for a fact I'm entering a message to the right person), it automatically sends that message to someone else. Now this hasn't gotten me into huge trouble yet, if you know what I mean lol but its quite annoying! Any advice?

SMS Screen On Notification

I can't seem to find a way to turn off SMS Notifications briefly turning on my screen. It's extremely annoying when I'm listening to music with the phone in my pocket and I get a text message and then it starts flipping through my songs because the screen is on and my pocket is rubbing against the track controls. I can't seem to find an option to turn it off.
Nobody knows?
i think if you use a third party sms app, it will turn it off for the stock app
Yeah, I had been using Handcent but I really like the default app, I just hate how it turns the screen on. I guess it's back to Handcent for the time being =/
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Handcent can turn of the notification.
But I'm sure you already know that.

always thought handcent didnt look right to me. it always felt out of place, but i havent used it in quite a while.
i know that when i used it i was NOT a fan of the ads. GO SMS PRO does everything i want, and then some. does it free, and it looks good with a quality interface.
i will evaluate handcent again, but i doubt it will sway me
No ads anymore. And I use the iPhone look. Does what it's supposed. I don't think I change.
