really slow htc messaging - HD2 General

Does anyone else have the problem with htc messaging where it takes maybe 10-15 seconds for a messaging thread to open?
I use my phone mainly for texting and I have a lot of texts on it even though its only 3 weeks old. So its very frustrating when I click on messaging and then on a thread, its so painfully slow. Is there a way to speed things up or is it maybe a rom thing?
Im using duttys v1.8 rom btw.

Yes, it is insanely slow at loading a thread. I have to export my messages regularly, cause as soon as I pass 100 in a thread it begins. Incredibly annoying!

So I am not the only one with this problem.
Some threads are ~350 messages long, and those are a pain in the bottom to load.

would be nice if someone could help us set a limit for the ammount of messages it shows, just like the old windows mobile 6.1

i have the same problem, but i find a sort of solution.
don't close the message application: click menu--> show all message, and stay here.
From this point there's no lag when you open threads. (like bertus i've more then 400 messages for every threads).

I personally clear them all out every so often (bout once a month) and always save anything important to a note file which is then syncronised with my Outlook via Activesync. But I admit its annoying, I get delay when there is 30 messages... lol

Just a thought but have any of you installed the SMS fix so that you can start a new SMS immediately whilst the list is loading. If not i suggest you do a search for it on the HTC website or on this one.
HTH

i installed it 2 days ago. but where's the difference?
i don't understand what it should do. '

...
Got the same problem.. Apart from the iphone, HTC is loading every conversation you have when you open the sms window.
Example iphone only loads 20 messages in 1 page, then you can choose to see older or newer messages...
HTC MUST make a fix to this soon..!!!! Its pretty annoying that it lag.

The SMS fix by HTC fixes the issue whereby you couldnt start to type a new message until the list had fully loaded. After installing the fix you can start a new message immediately whilst the list loads in the background. Hope that clarifies.
I do agree though that the messaging system in sense needs further work to improve it but this fix goes some way to improving it.
HTH.

tnx manimal i understand now.
Is really frustrating when the phone finishes to load the messages and the focus goes to the last one and you must re-select the type box for seeing what you are writing o.o'

I agree but at least you can make a start. I also noticed that even though the focus changes to the last message if you carry on typing it will insert whatever you have typed when you change the focus back the message input box.

You can type while it loads, yes, but the the typing becomes laggy and it doesn't catch half the buttons which are touched. I have tried to contact HTC about this, but there was no understanding to the issue...

By far and away the best solution to conversation lag is for HTC to do as others have suggested and only have the application load, say, the last 20 messages, or at least allow users to configure the number of messages loaded in conversation view. In truth, it could be less than that. Most of the time, all you really need to see is the message you're replying to. It'd be nice to have a halfway-house which offered this functionality. Like for example if you clicked on reply from the traditional view, it would have an option to show the message you're replying to at the top of the screen. Perhaps there is already a way to achieve this?

+1! ... The most annoying thing about the HD2... Makes me wanna throw it away and go all apple again... but then i look at the big screen

Haha.. yup, me too!
I hope, they will fix it in the next rom update.. So it doesn't load every message...

my longest conversation is around 50 messages because I prefer e-mail to sms, but although I have both sms hotfixes, it's still laggy. I don't want to know what it's like with 350 messages gj htc you failed again

is there a good 3rd party messaging program we can install to deal with this problem?
I actually think they should just go back to the regular inbox instead of htc messaging like on other windows mobile phones. that one is a lot faster although less flashy.

this is really frustrating me and I think I might give up on this great device because of the messaging lag and also because it freezes up on me at least twice a day.
Its too bad because it has a lot of potential.

slowwww and laggy

hi
i was wondering if anyone is having this problems where your g1 is very slow or laggy
i'm constantly getting the foreclose and wait window
it usually happens after a mass text message
when i try to scroll throw my threads it lags insanely and sometimes just freezes up
any idea what to do??
hawwee! nice thanksgiving messages to everyone!
btw, i had same issue. I think from all the posts i've read, you have to delete your message threads if they get long. However, I deleted some large threads (500+) and some smaller 50+ and the messages still lags but is definitely faster...
Is there a hack to save mms and sms on sd card, and if so how would be view them again since now they on the sd card
yeah i've noticed that after having the phone on for a while and opening a few programs and it presumably keeping them open that it just gets really slow all around which pisses me off...i hope someone comes up with a better task management application...or maybe change the number of "open apps" from like 6 to 3 because it gets rediculously laggy sometimes.
is it an issue of having too many txt msgs or is it cause too many apps are open?
i know if you're on the main screen and hold the home button, it shows what apps/tasks are open but you cant close them soo seems pointless
woah cool trick with the home button! i think its both. having a lot of messages slows down the messaging thing definitely...and it probably then slows down the rest of android because it will be one of the 6 apps to stay open.
they should definietly add x's to that home screen task manager thing.
and when is google going to release more updates for this??? i mean real updates not "oh lets fix a security hole"
one of the reasons i got it is because i had confidence in google that they would release feature-packed updates every few weeks...hopefully i'm right? because they still have a lot of things to fix/tweak. we should make a list.

"Tap to compose text" fail....

Hello,
Only started having this problem today, when you select "tap to compose text" it just doesnt recognise it.
I press it say 20 times and it'll pick it up.
It seems more apparent in contacts with a large thread of messages.
Is anyone else having this problem?
yeah i get the same exact thing in long threads. immensely frustrating. also scrolling up and down is very laggy in my long message threads. after ten seconds the scrolling becomes smooth and then when i tap to compose text it does a much better job. i think the leo messages program takes a bit to load long threads and until its loaded it refuses to let you tap to compose text.
this is well known bug.thre are other threads about this.
yeah me too absolutely the same problem....
I get it too, I also still find it impossible to type on lol. I am used to an ipod touch, and im sure my accuracy isn't as bad as my HD2 is making mine out to be lol because my ipod writes fine nearly always lol..
Is there a fix for it? At the moment im deleting my threads of texts every day but i usually like to keep all my messages.
HTC phones are brilliant, but what annoys me is that its left to third parties to fix problems like this, when HTC should be picking up themselves.
Surely cant be that hard to rectify!
Quessing still no fix?
You're guessing right

List the current problems with HD2..

Hi guys,apologies if this is covered elsewhere but search is bringing up too many random similarities for it to adequately solve this for me and after reading the majority of threads in their entirety, times a ticking and I could do with more concrete data before finally committing to this beast myself
I would have thought that by now there would be a single thread listing the confirmed issues that multiple user's have with their device. Obviously the camera issue is well documented but are there other "issue's" ,that could be accurately described as a fault ,that affect many users?
I appreciate that what would appear to be an awful lot of the claimed faults in the Leo section seem to be down to owners not knowing how to do something that the hd2 is perfectly capable of and as such are usually solved quickly by the knowledgeable dudes on here and also that guy's/gal's aren't likely to start posting that they're perfectly happy with the hd2 therein skewing the general perception of its performance when you browse through the threads on here!
let the battle/flaming/whatever commence

What ROM? UK O2 is fine.
I've got a problem with the youtube links. When in opera or IE, clicking on a video doesn't load up the stock youtube client on the HD2.
Nor does the stock client have a log in so you can see your favourites.
I cant find the stopwatch or the timer app, I've been looking for like 2 days I might just be blind. Any ideas?

I have read about this issue but not had it happen to me once yet, I have sent about 40 messages since I got the phone from O2 on Friday and I have received about 30. All of them without issue.
Did you get yours from O2 or is it a sim free model from elsewhere with your O2 sim in it?
I get the "disable all Wireless connectionss" here too. Can't say a typo bothers me, but it's a little surprising.
Sim free hd2, ROM 1.43.405.1 (70124) No other problems i've noticed though, but I don't send all that many TXTs.

Alarm does not work
I can set an alarm, allocate a sound, but the alarm only comes up as a notification. I was late for work dammit!

If you rely on WM to wake you up at morning you are a brave man.
Background intermittent hiss when talking
Well its looking good so far then..till now we seem to have:
A) camera pink blobby issue with a hotfix on the way..
B) sms' doing what they want but not what you want also with a hotfix in the wings apparently..
C) some background noise for a few of you
and it's looking good for me as a camera on a phone is a gimmick,I hardly ever send sms and if the background noise can be heard in my truck it'll have to be louder than its volume
Thanks for the comments guys and if anyone else has any others please feel free to add them on
I've managed to lose my opera's multitouch after a bit of tweaking and program installing, though that may well be my fault....
I also have the calendar bug
And I have a weird texting bug whereby sometimes when replying to messages, when I'm trying to type a message in phone keypad mode, when i press the button for a,b,c only 2 comes up and if i try and press another key, then the same. basically, it only outputs numbers.... its very annoying and very hard to solve!
My 'issues' so far....
Camera, pink, and unusable viewer in low light (almost cant see anything).
Battery life, maybe 1 day at best.
WM tick box's way too small for finger touch.
Volume rocker, doesnt work in 50% of my games/apps including you tube!
No haptic feedback in Opera.
No pinch zoom in IE.
Lag when entering text in sms conversation mode.
No sent sms confirmation sound or on screen notification (sent the same message 3 times before i realised it had actually gone!!).
If used to solve above problem delivery reports stay in inbox like messages so every other message is a DR!
Emails do not mark as read unless opened in WM viewer not the sense UI.
No easily accessible task manager.
Programs do not close on exit but minimize so stay running in RAM.
Screen does not rotate in all menu's/apps etc...
Opening internet based Apps does not prompt you as to how to connect ie:WiFi or OTA instead defaulting to OTA unless you have already turned WiFi on.
Facebook App is nigh on pointless, cannot 'like' anything or see comments left, etc..
Windows Mobile is way to prominent and should be buried deep behind the Sense UI, specially as we do not have a stylus!
Whole UI feels messy being not really a WM UI and not 100% Sense UI.
Thats a brutal unbiased honest opinion!
The phone itself, hardware, asthetics, etc... are all excellent but the OS and UI are a long way from the polished experience I expected from a flag ship phone.
Some of these can be fixed with Reg tweaks or 3rd party Apps but............ we shouldnt have to!

- Battery drain,
- FM radio reception quality,
- Of course, camera,
- Opera : sometimes displays web pages like Google cache: only text, no images/background
Of all listed problems, the only one I have is the camera. Not even the SMS, every time I send a message, it's delivered right away.
I have one more issue for you. After I changed timezone to Russia which don't have AM/PM time division(clock range is from 00:00 to 24:00), I can't create a new appointment later than 12:00, because in the HTC calendar I don't have an option to setup time later than 12:00 This is very very annoying.

I really start to doubt my topaz: text-messaging fails

Hello folks,
I have my topaz for about 2 months now and tried different roms, apps, settings. The reason I bought is was because I found the android interface unattractive, I don't like it. Also I didn't like the iPhone, comparing Sense on wvga next to iPhone; well it pisses the iPhone away in my opinion and it is too expensive for what you get.
I really like Sense 2.5 and windows mobile combination. For me it's sense 2.5 or nothing. I'm a PC fan and i like the way everything synchronizes, the way i can explore the phone and all the modifications possible provided through this forum.
But the one thing that sets me off is the HTC messaging (like always) which is slow and still, i like the windows mobile messaging better. Now either way, I have this problem with the phone that doesn't seem to get solved no matter which rom I use, no matter if it's HTC messaging or windows messaging...
I don't receive many text messages that are sent to me
My GF has sent me 6 text messages all over the day for which she received a delivery notification and I got plain nothing. It happens all the time the last 2 months, beginning from stock rom and radio to the latest topaz sense 2.5 rom and radio.. then I need to explain i wasn't being ignorant but my 360€ cellphone just doesn't show them.. yeaaaa sure. The thing is; when I press All Messages sometimes nothing happens, thats the point where I think "not again" because then the messaging application failed again and god knows for how long it has already been freezing and how many messages I missed.
I'm a heavy texter and texting is just the one thing I want to do..
I'm thinking of selling this thing which I think is too expensive, and going to an android device.
Does someone else experience these problems too?
Mmmm...
I can't see that this has anything to do with which ROM you use. Most of the ROM's here don't come with radios anyway, so you'll need to flash that seperately. It sounds more like a network carrier issue to me. You could try contacting your provider for support and see what they say. Or try a few different radios - there are a number of revisions in this forum.
I've never had a text message issue at all, so I can't really suggest anything else. What carrier are you with?
It's ever since i have this device, already have a new sim which didn't solve anything. I'm with Mobistar. I don't have it with my spare samsung....
While I don't have problems receiving messages, my messaging is also really buggy and takes forever to load and send. I just deleted all my messages and that seemed to solve the problem. You mentioned you are a heavy texter so maybe all the messages are causing your messanger to freeze and lose texts.

Slow Dialer, Contacts and phonebook takes more tha 10 secs to load!!!! HELP

Just got my S$ upgraded to the lates version in my country which is 4.2.2 when I click on the dialer icon the screen freezes for 10 secs and it shows the numbers but when you press the numbers notheing happens and I guess when the program completely loads suddenly all the numbers pop up and aside from that whenever I type in a name in the messages or the contacts menu to look up someone to message or call it takes to long to load that my screen turns black and which I need to go back until I get the proper contact to be able to do some action with.... I know how to lenghten the time before it goes into energy saving mode or for screen to turn back but this is the exact problem I was staying away from since opting to get the Iphone 5... Since this has the best hardware as of the moment but to lag and freeze and sometimes even crash the phonebook or message app is ridiculous..... Sure you can do a lot of cool stuff but if it can't do this and the answer to my solution is to wait for an update just for a simple task of calling or messaging someone Samsung really brought out a half baked product. Hope you guys can help me with this because everytime I want to call or text someone I just do it on facebook a nokia 5110 would do better than this as far as calling and messaging.... Have they focused to much on the advanced features that they didn't fix the most basic elements of the phone. I had the HTC sensation, iphone 3 before that then this.. Since I'm into computers and pro open source I opted to stict with the android... but this is really pushing me to switch to Apple (who I hate but is really efficient at doing things its supposed to) or windows 8.
Help me with this problem so I don't give up on androids for my next phone I'd rather have a phone that is working lag free than the latest phone with the best specs that can't even do what it's supposed to do, basically reducing it to a bar of soap....

Hey this isn't an issue with the phone....its a problem with the update....there are a few things you can try out
1. Go to settings and go to application manager in the last tab....scroll to the 4th tab in the app manager...which is All.....and find your contact and contact storage apps.....clear their memory (note this will delete all your contacts....so backup) and retry accessing contacts as usual.
2. Usually the first step helps...if it doesn't... try to do a factory reset of your phone.....(This will delete all your app data....so backup)
3. You could also try to reflash the same firmware or a better update via odin.... Google and XDA are your friends so search the forums....there are many good tutorials.
4. Finally if you still feel like this isnt the answer...i suggest you to root your phone and install a new custom firmware....lots of good tutorials and roms on the XDA forums so check it out. If you dont know about rooting....approach with caution as this will void your warranty....
So try these out...hope it gave you some idea good luck!!
