Is anyone else experiencing this when attempting to reply to a sms message.
The message 'Tap to compose your text' appears but it wont let me 'tap'. I have to wait for about 10 seconds before tapping the screen actually allows me to compose a reply.
Yes, I have delays in the text messaging app. It is very laggy. I can be typing and press a key 3 or 4 times before it registers.
Cheers, I've just figured it out, the issue only happens when I have lots of messages to load in a conversation. It doesn't occur when its a short conversation with one or two messages in.
i think its a known bug keep your conversation list down by backing up on myphone is a suggestion i read somewhere, then you can delete on your phone without losing them completely
hope thats helpful
yes its all do do with the amount of messages in the "thread" but even if i've got say 100 messages in a convo ....whys it lag so much ??? its only loading kilobytes of info... and for the spec of the phone i find this poor coding very annoying !!!!!!!!!!!!
if you look bottom right of the screen (just right of the paper clip) you'll see a thin grey line decreasing . When that's finished you can tap and type. And yes the more sms you have the more the delay.
I have the sams problem. I have over 500 texts under some contacts. and It's a big waiting game to answer a text.
I dont understand why HTC have choosen to load ALL texts. the last 20 would have been enough.
In the new ROM 1.48 the problem is the same.

Oh man, that sucks was hoping it would be fixed there
I'm actually beginning to get a little dissapointed by the official rom
I love tweaking stuff etc... but having problems with something every other phone handles perfectly like SMS is ridiculous.

you are rigt.100% right mate.i am so pissed off about this.
Has anyone actually fed this into HTC to make them aware of the issue so they know it is everyone who is complaining and not just a select few?

Well, I've actually reported this today, as I am sick of it
I wonder if HTC uses their own phones they make...
I think they made it for people like me who delete every sms at the end of the day. Don't get mad, just a joke but that's really what I do unless I need to keep it for reference in which case I copy it to an alarmed note.
It's a rather strange issue. I have several lengthy conversations (not 500 messages long, of course, but with dozens of them), and all but one load instantly and the keyboard pops up also instantly. One of them is incredibly laggy, although it's like 10 messages long. The only difference I see is that the other person has a contact picture attached and she is my wife.
Perhaps is there a way (cab, setting, ...) to makes auto-delete messages after a certain limit (for example, delete messages when there's more than 50...) ? Already looked in settings, but didn't found that..
Here are work-arounds for the SMS lag problem...
Option 1:
when the SMS conversation is building (the gray bar is shrinking), just click the SEND button. It will prompt "This message is blank...", then click No, and it will go back to the SMS conversation -- but this time, there is no lag and you can start typing after pressing the "Tap here to compose text"
Option 2:
if there is one or two persons that you exchange lots of SMS with, put them as a Quick Link (to SMS) on the front page. That way, when you press the Quick Link, it starts a direct SMS composition without dialogue, and thus no lag.
Can't wait till HTC properly fix this!
Enjoy!

I have used several iterations of PocketCM, 0.23 being the last one before going to 0.24. I uninstalled 0.23 properly and put 0.24 on. For some reason it's really flaky when it comes to showing the message threads. It will display correctly that there are text messages for a certain person, but when I click on that person, it will either say "No Messages", or it will only show some of the messages, usually just the most recent one. If I go back and forth enough times, it will show all the messages, then if I go back and forth again, only part of the messages (usually the most recent ones) will be there. Same goes for messages that I sent, they show up right after they have been sent, but when I come back right after looking at the contacts, the messages that I have written will have disappeared, just to come back again along with all the others at some time later.
PocketCM is installed in device memory.
I have cleared out all my messages just to make sure nothing was corrupt there, so I am working with all new messages.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled it.
I have used different themes.
I leave it running in the background at all times so that the longish initial load time won't slow my phone down.
Am I the only one with that problem, or has anyone else encountered this.
I have a Sprint Touch with the original 6.0 ROM.
Thanks for any help!
i have seen this too....only on one contact...the one person i have a picture set for that i also sms with....why don't you post this in the pocketcm thread???
Which one? There's quite a few....questions like these usually get lost in big threads like that
Did you have the same problem with an earlier version of PocketCM? All my previous versions worked fine as far as that was concerned.
I get the same thing too. its intermittent. im sure it's a little bug they'll fix soon..
Ok cool....thanks... thought my phone was going crazy or something!
mine as well. i've opened a thread in tene's forum: http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?15,10912. Please post a comment there so he know that it's a common problem.

no...this started with .24 for me....does this happen to you with contacts w/o pictures?....it seems to only happen to me when i have a pic with the contact..
I think you're on to something...same deal here, only happens to contacts that have pictures!!

I deleted the contact picts and i have not had a problem since.
But...but....I want my contact pictures in there, that's part of what makes this app so cool...especially with the mirror effect! I hope Tene can fix this when he has some time!
Now I believe this is something that has been happening since 1.5 and its a little annoying, I wanted to check with you guys to see if this too is irritating to more people.
now to send a new Text msg, I type the first couple letters of the name and wait for the possible contacts to show and select, now what irritates me is that not only do the mobile numbers show up but also their home numbers, now I know that technology has gotten better and that on some cases home numbers can receive text msgs(verizon fios customers I believe has this feature). but 99.999% of the time you are only texting mobiles.
so the 1 million dollar question, can this be modified so that it only shows mobile numbers ???
I've looked at the settings for messages and didn't find anything there, if you guys have found something please let me know.
im running dc 2.1 rom, but I've seen this on all roms used on my hero.
Im trying to remember if aosp has the same issue, maybe some aosp guys can check for me.
I had the g1 before the hero and I dont remember having this, but well its been a while.
Thanks.
I believe it just pulls up all contact information for the contact you're entering. It WOULD be nice if it had a smart feature to just show the mobile number, I agree. But I don't believe there's a setting for it.
Handsent has this functionality in the settings...

Yeah, but I think he's talking about the default messaging app.
I dont know if everyone is aware but Sprint has text to landline. Anytime you send a text message to a landline Sprint leaves a message. Ive been using this feature for the past 6 months. It works in english and spanish. Not perfect but good enough. Im guessing its included on the simply everything plans Because I did not request any service like this. Anyway:
The Default messages app is limited to 10 contacts at a time
There also an issue with spanish characters like ó,é,i,ñ, etc. Well, its not a android issue, is that most other phones do not support these characters and the whole text message gets messed up
If I was you I would switch to Handscent.

Handcent is a little intimidating at the beginning. Play with the options for a while and you'll get the full potential.

This is because Carriers supports Text to landline now, were you can send a text to a home phone.

But you don't have to. Works great "right out of the box"
Might just want to enable notifications from handcent and disable notifications from the Messages app.

I agree. I meant intimidating because the amount of options that are available for modification.
ok so this phone is the best phone i have had.. except who ever tested the text messaging app must not have alot of friends..
i get about 20 people in the list of messages and my whole phone messes up..
i click one guy and the message gets sent to the guy at the bottom of the list.
you gotta really watch out, because it has the right name but the wrong number.
when i click messages from someone with more then 20 it takes 20 seconds to load them up and sometimes when i go back to the today screen the phone crashes..
sometimes i hear the text message sound and i have no new messages..
come to find out the message went ON TOP of the list from that sender.. not on the bottom.
sometimes the indicator that you have a new message never goes away, even after you read it..
anyone else having huge text problems?
first of all great title
im completely with you mate the texting on this phone is a joke
who's clever idea was it to load every single text every time you want to send 1?
plus the keyboard lag is a royal pain in the ass especially as im a fast typer
i have had no problems with sending texts to wrong people however, i think, maybe some people are having a real laugh at my expense..
i hope it gets fixed soon
i just dont understand how an iphone, with some 400mhz processor is 100x smoother than this phone
there must be some real fault somewhere

that was really funny.
ROM 1.66 fixed much of this, but still known bugs remain - as reported in this forum.
You were lucky not to be around in Dec 09, when you had to soft reset every time you sent an sms which got 'stuck' in the Outbox!!!

The HTC messaging app is not meant for hardcore text messagers. To stop it from loading every message, you can tap on a message then hit back.
One of the solutions is to disable the HTC messaging and use the default WM6.5 threaded SMS. Google search "disable HTC messaging" and look for Zenyee's CAB to disable it, then look in the WM Theme forum here to find some nice looking WM SMS themes.
The other solution is to disable HTC messaging and use something like BsB Tweaks to enable SMS classic mode, which takes you to an older version of the SMS app when you tap on a message in the messaging tab, that doesn't lag like the new one does, but it doesn't look as nice.

I send 100-150 texts a day, and receive just as much.
I never have any problems.
i use full QWERTY and texting speed is quite nice. I mean, multi-touch keyboard would be NICE, but it gets the job done for now.
As much as TMOUS stock ROM fixed lots of glitches, it still doesn't beat most of the ROMs cooked by chefs here.
Try flashing (at your own risk, of course), then see how much your phone has evolved.
Have you tried changing it from conversation mode to traditional mode?
Menu, settings, traditional mode
are there any different messaging clients which can be used instead?
hey so i have the stock rom..when i click on a text message can click the area it says to tap to type. the phone freezes and wont let me text then like 10 seconds or so sometimes if i start using the swype it works but doesnt show what i wrote until i re click the screen. anyone have problems with swype and texting with it freezing and not showing what you type? any fixes for this? i have tried to uninstall/reinstall swype and still same problem.
i have the same issue..... :-(
its not swype, its the long pause a lot of people get when they have a lot of txt messages, The screen can take a few seconds to load them, and nothing happens on screen while it does it, and then it selects the last message.
lol .... with all that memory hd2 comes with u think it should have that problem? pathetic... have same problem.. want to know how i fix it? i turned off the phone and went back to iphone 3gs .. thats the way u fix it...

hehe, thats one answer, my own workaround is to not store loads of messages, , blimey, most of mine get deleted as soon as ive read them. Never understood anyone that wants thousands of messages like some people do.

Same here.
I flash my phone so much that I never have that many text lol. But I tell all my customers who come in with slow phones to delete all their text at least once a week. There is no reason to keep them longer than that. They just sit there and take up space and slow your phone down. If you really cant part with them back them up to your computer then delete them off your phone.
Yes, just delete previous text messages and problem fixed! It usually starts doing that when you have like 60 previous messages on 1 contact
I have heard already of this android bug from the Google nexus one forum but now it happened to me too. I had maybe 6 sms threads in the stock android sms application. I sent a question via sms to one person and it appears in the right thread. I get an sms back from another person answering the question. The second person who answered is one of the 6 threads actually in my sms application. This is really a serious problem....
Google has a serious problem to fix. I can't imagine if I sent a text to the wrong person. This is why I won't touch the stock messaging app. Handcent all the way.

Don't feel so safe in the google forum thread people with chompSMS and Handcent could reproduce the same problem. So it's much deeper in the android system.
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=39b5123a94a7a99a&hl=en
strange, this happened to me once and i text a lot (at least 3k a month). does anyone know if this is unique to the n1 or happens on all androids?
I ran into this too. It even appeared like i sent it to the proper recipient. I got a lot of wtf?'s later in the night. Did a power cycle to fix it and everything has been cool since I've updated.
My G1 used to do this also, I was starting to think I was alone on this one.
Im not saying the problem doesnt exist, or putting you guys down at all etc, but in my 3k texts a month ive never seen this yet. I guess the closest ive come is trying to quick press a thread added with rotating the screen at the same time = possibly click on wrong thread, and if in landscape you dont see the previous text.
I don't text too much, but I have noticed sometimes the conversation drops off after I send something, or at least I thought I was sending something.
i've never experienced this issue yet either, and i've used handcent since day one just because of this. but i cant imagine the trouble i would have if some of my texts went to the wrong person. seriously.
its possible i'll never know if someone got the wrong text and just never told me...

I never rotate my phone to landscape while texting, so I can exclude this theory. I also realized if you want to copy paste something into a sms it always jumped back to the wrong thread....not satisfied....I text my coworkers and friends and absolutely don't want a mix up of recipients.
This happened to me friend's nexus one today. He was running CM RC1
this also happened to a friend of mine with galaxy s.
This is disastrous

It is. I think a lot of people are not aware of this problem. I you only text things like "how are you" you would probably not even realize that you get the answer from the wrong person. If it is delicate some wrong recipient would probably ignore the message instead of complaining. So you never know if it by accident went to the wrong person...
Note to self: be careful what you text until this gets fixed.
people with the original droid also had this problem occur on their phones. its gotta be something with android OS...but what could it be that google hasnt found at this point.
I find that if I text something, then go back to the main message list and try to open another conversation before it has finished "refreshing" it will open a random thread instead of the one I intended to. As far as I know I have not sent a text to a wrong contact. To give you an idea of my usage I have used 2841 messages and I have 10 days left in my billing cycle.
I don't text enough to notice a problem like this, but I'm guessing Google Voice is immune?
Thankfully this bug hasn't happened to me yet (that I know of). Someone hand me the biggest piece of wood you can find (keep your wood jokes to yourself ) so I can knock on it.
