Hello,
I remember having a rom which had this htc messaging loading in messages on the WinMo way, in pages with 'older' and 'newer' buttons only showing the last 10 messages.
It made the HTC messaging really fast because now the only thing still lagging is the soft-keybord as it loads in ALL messages on one page and it takes some time, sometimes hundreds of messages i rather don't want to delete.
Does someone know the name/thread of this tweak/fix? All latest roms include the HTC messaging loading in all messages on one page.
I've tried the Zenyee patch to go back to the good old WinMo messaging, which worked fine on previous manilla versions but now it became unusable... it crashes almost every day at some random point (messaging part freezes) not receiving messages anymore untill softreset.. i've got many complaints because of my 'ignorance'
you can sync your phone and can save the messages on the itenrnet. This to unload all the messages because they will get more and more and in the end messaging will become pretty laggy.

Hi all,
I've just got my HD2 this morning. I'm having a problem when trying to create an SMS by replying from the text messages tab.
This particular contact has around 500 messages and pressing 'reply' takes more than 20 seconds before even the onscreen keyboard to load for me to type the reply. I've tried other contacts with less messages, whilst it is quick, there is still a noticeable lag to load all of the previous messages.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Yes. The contacts/text messaging app seems to suffer from a lot of slowdown. I also have the feeling it's linked to the number of messages for each contact.
Saving a contact after editing can be slow as well.
I did a bit of a search...looks like this is a problem with the HTC messaging app in Manila 2.5 ..... sigh........ such a fundamental problem!
Too many people complain about SMS issues. SMS functionality should be one of the very first tests you do to a modern mobile device during Q.A.
At least its still good to know that I'll be able to speak with it.
Same here. Too slow..
Here the same problem. Can somebody make a fix for it please?
Delete all the SMS history with the contact who is taking long for the keyboard to load up.
The reason for this slowdown is that it is loading all your SMS messages with that contact, both sent and received. Hence it takes ages to load up.
1. Go to the SMS screen for your slow-loading contact, wait for it to load
2. Press 'Menu'
3. Press 'Delete Messages'
4. Press 'Menu'
5. Press 'Select All'
6. Press 'Done'
Where is the snapdragon?
man I need to get this Phone,but this seems to be the first real let down ,I use lots of SMS and to me deleting is not an option.
Must be found a work around.
HTC definately rushed this ROM.
The calendar bug, the spelling mistake in the connections settings, apparently the speed is slower than the test ROMs, and now this.
Well the only thing that lags with Touch HD on wm6.5 with Manila 2.5 is the HTC SMS.. That what made be believe I should upgrade my device to HD2. Now that I see that the device is also lagging with a dozen of SMSs... Thanks but I will not buy it unless a solution is found. I have more than 2500 work SMS all business related and I CANT FIND A REASON TO DELETE IT.
DIDNT THEY TRY THE DEVICE BEFORE SELLING IT??
EVEN A NOKIA 3310 CAN STORE 500+ SMS !!
Yes a nokia can store that many text, but they arent in a chat type session, thats why it takes so long because it loads all of them in one hit.

Even with Thread mode off and normal SMS display, it is very slow. Try restoring 200 SMS, it will takes 10 mins. Re-access your SMS menu, you will still lag as hell.
Cannot forgive them for making such a mistake.
was going to get it today
My non HTC device loaded with + 250 messages opens the SMS app.in 2 sec. Replying and bringing up the keyboard is almost from instantaneous to 1 sec,but I need to get a WM phone.
Just one question though:
Will this lag still happen if you Disable the HTC Sence UI and went with the WM 6.5 interface?
I've found a workaround for now..
Use the HTC Messaging app in traditional mode. From there, you could reply SMSes using the non-threaded mode. Once it loads, it's pretty quick to open again.
Still..the major lag is still there when you open a contact with many text messages....this is very dissapointing and could even be a dealbreaker for a few people.
Even my TD1 with Manila 2.1 doesn't have this problem.

NO! the problem it's just in senseUI
In the meantime, let your providers and htc know (mail). htc need to release a proper fix for this.
Manila 2.1 on my TP2 did`t have this problem at all.
To be honest .... 2.5 Manila messaging is crap!
I know this isn't an ideal solution, but it'll do for me (for now), and I'm sure some others will be happy enough with it as a temporary fix.
Use Microsoft MyPhone to get all your texts uploaded and then archive them using the web interface. You can then delete as many as you like off the phone and still be happy that you've got a backup online.
Not a solution, but a reasonable workround for now.
Edit: I can confirm that this works. I went to the MyPhone web interface and archived all my text messages. Then I synched from my mobile and it deleted all the local texts that I had archived (in this case, all of them). I can now edit and select contacts with only a slight lag. It's still a crap amount of lag for such a fast phone, but it's a lot better.
They should do like on the iPhone: when you chat with a contact, you get the last 10-15 messages of the thread. If you want to read older messages you press a button on top of the thread that will then show all the others.
+1!! I do think too that it's the obvious solution!!!! Why the hello do HTC's SMS apps display the full thread of SMS's on their app, it's pretty much useless, and causes lags!!! The last 10 sms's like in Outlokk or on the iPhone is enough!
I don't know what the hell HTC's devs are thinking sometimes....
I just switched over the sense 2.5, I did it to get the better imo people, and calendar tabs, and it finally had landscape support. Unfortunately I didn't realize the messaging tab was so slow when you have a large number of txt messages. I tried zenyee's app which sort of works, I have messaging available through the mail link, but the notification bar jumps to the sense messaging, which lags, and doesn't always show the most current message.
I also can't seem to get the favpeople back up to work either, it won't back up the right number of favorites and seems to fail at restoring them at all. Anyone get these tweaks working or found another work around for them?
anyone got any ideas how to start fixing this?
i use deepshining v8 and i got this to work, but one issue i have now is that my receiving texts are an hour slow
anyone help??
i got it working
to get mms and sms working all i did was install the zenyee diasble htc messaging cab and the dega sense 2.1 messaging...
there is a cab that has both of these together...then i used the mms fix for 2.1 and everything is working properly and fast.
hope this works for you
sms and mms both work, the problem is what is handling them. and for the most part wm client is handling them except in terms of the htc notification bar which sends it over to the htc messaging client. which while a little less laggy with the other patch you mentioned seems to put the time stamp over the bottom half of the message making it illegible.
i've been having problems with my received texts are an hour slow and the notifications no longer show up it just vibrates. the mms also does not work for me
i use the wm messaging client and i dont get the timestamps that you all are taking about. i took out the messaging tab and made the left softkey messaging which opens the wm client directly.
Using Rhodium_AF any ROM version is working flawless with zenyee.
First of all I'd like to mention that I have read the sms thread, but I was unable to find a solution to my problem. I recently noticed that when threaded sms is enabled in the htc messaging app, there is a stutter that occurs while scrolling. The stutter seems to appear at specific places in the scrolling lists for different contacts, but only when there are 15 or more messages. I'm currently running energy rom feb 22 edition, but I have this problem with all recent roms. I dont think this problem occured on the stock rom, but since I probably never had more than 10 messages from any contact there's no way for me to know that now without reverting to an older rom, but I don't want to do that. Is there a solution?
I expecience this too.. Used to have 900+ sms in one thread, and had to archive them all in order to be able to type/read sms properly.
Why don't they just load the first 15 smsand then once you scroll up load the next 15, etcetera? It would save a lot of headaches and is much less bloated than the current way of viewing.
Because HTC are a bunch of dickheads, thats why....
Touche.
The feature set of HTC messaging 1.5 is very good.
However, one can see a lag while you are typing as it tries to load the messages in the background.
Would it not be better if the HTC messaging app only loaded the last 10 or so messages and if one wanted to scroll beyond that, the app can load another 10/20 upon demand. Essentially work like the HTC Album. No need to load all the fking msgs in memory.
Can somebody develop a hack to do that? or pass that message on to HTC?
+1 !!!
Just like on previous version [WinMo 6.1] where SMS where sort per pages [10 per pages], so it only loades the last 10.
1) Why is there a relationship between number stored text messages and delay time between when phone first lights up until I am unable to unlock the phone and read my message? It seems sometimes when I have even 200+ messages stored, my phone will light up indicating a text is being received, but will "freeze" until it has (what seems to be) re-loaded every text stored. Only then, allowing me to access my new text message. So fukcing frustrating...it has to be Sense related.
- No, turning off Sense does not fix the problem either. I'm stock ROM (2nd to latest ROM upgraded)
2) Why does Swype, in threaded mode, insist on having every message load prior to being able to use it? Again, if a contact has 200+ messages in their thread, the phone is useless until all messages have loaded...
I enjoy using the threaded view, because I'm often referring back to previous text messages in my conversations. I can avert the Swype loading by using traditional mode. As of right now, it's either Swype + traditional or no Swype + threaded. I shouldn't feel I should have to choose, am I right?
I realize I can just delete my messages every 200+ that occur, but I reach that in a couple of days. Deleting takes too long too and going through SMS Backup is a too much of a pain if it's not for 1000+ texts.
I know this is cache/memory related. I wish there was a way to transfer the texts from phone storage to SD storage. I'm running a Class 6 too, so I don't think I can attribute slow processing speeds to the card either.
Thanks in advance. I realize this is MOST likely a repeated question. But I feel I haven't been able to arrive to a just answer from searching.
yep, its an ooold problem with no specific fix other than don't save more than 100 or so txts.
tried the latest rom?
I find that using a custom ROM has pretty much fixed the problem of HTC messageing freezing like that for me. I constantly have 1000+ texts in 3-4 threads, and have minimal wait times for messageing to open and let me reply.
Try using the latest TMO USA stock ROM. This ROM seems to have completely eliminated any problems with the HTC messaging app.
I have twitter send tweets from certain users as txt messages to my phone. The thread for twitter has reached over 1000 messages on a couple of occasions with this new ROM without causing significant lag like the previous stock ROM used to
swype is crap I notice that was the problem why my sms app would slow app...I use the regular keyboard and I have over 300 messages with one contact and its still not slowing up, and on top of that I notice I type faster with the regular keyboard....first time I used the keyboard since i got the phone back in june
I recommend a rom without HTC messaging. HTC messaging is still slow wether its stock rom or custom. Why they decided to uber up WinMo SMS I will never know.
