[REF] SMS Thread Loading Time - WORKAROUND

While playing with my HD2 I discovered a workaround for the SMS thread loading time/tap to compose delay. This is VERY bodge-job, but also goes to prove that the HD2 is MORE than capable of loading long conversations quickly, but there's just a coding error on HTC's behalf.
Firstly, you might want to time how long it takes you to open a long thread normally. With one of my contacts I get a whopping 21 seconds.
Ok so here's the simple workaround:
Open up your SMS thread
Straight away, hit the send key/button
It should ask you if you're sure you want to send a blank message - wait half a second or so (dependant on your thread size), then press "No"
Tadaaa! Your thread should be FULLY loaded, and you can begin typing
If you don't wait half a second or so before pressing no, it seems to give a graphical glitch which keeps the SMS slider faded for a little while and doesn't allow you to tap to compose as quickly.
My guess is that by fading out the SMS thread with the confirmation dialogue, you are essentially disabling the graphical loading bar/transition of messages into the thread, and as a result, the loading time is FAR quicker.
I think it goes to prove that the problem is a GUI coding error.
Anyway, I hope this helps others until HTC get off their backsides and fix this.

Thanks.
The same can be achieved by clicking on one of the loaded messages in the thread so that a menu pops up..then cancel out of it.
Alternatively, when on the HTC Sense message tab, click ALL Messages and just open the message you want to reply to.

Thanks cool method

Its also mentioned in tip 57 in the hints and tips thread.

No pop up messages

during my one month hd2 usage i havent found any annoying issues with it, however there is one issue that i would like to have - when sms/reminder is arriving it would be great to have it on screen straight away like in other phones - is it possible somehow?

Ah yes, +1, that small icon at the top is not enough :S

settings - menu - all settings - sounds and notifications - notifications tab - scroll down events to 'message:new message' - tick display message on screen

..but still - the notification cames from wm itself not from built in manila notification

ahh I see what you mean, but I dont see the issue. The message also appears in teh message tab of manila, with an unread count, so whats the problem?

maybe i am old fashioned, but on my old iphone, se w910i each message that comes in popup as preview on the home screen - this is the problem

Give it a try, send yourself a message, then jump to the home page. Its not a problem at all, and doesn't look out of place against the manila skin.
*update* oh right, i just re-read what the OP wants and this is slightly different, this just shows the message, it doesn't access it (so you can't reply directly)

Time delay on text reply

First of all, I have the US version of HD2.
When I receive a new text message, I click on the text itself. Then click on the white space that labeled "tap to add text" to reply. Now it brings up the keyboard on the bottom of the screen. When I start typing, the texts don't usually show up on the screen right away. Sometimes the phone will freeze. Do any of you guys have the same problem? If so, how do I fix that?
Thanks in advance.

::bump:: any feedback on this would be great

happens to me also, i noticed if you click 2 times to add text it usually prevents this.

Issue with new SMS/Text Notification - Postcard icon

Hi,
I am hoping that you could help me with these.
The first is a minor issue while the second is really starting to annoy me.
When I get a new SMS/text message, the normal yellow envelope appears in the notification bar. I drag down the notification bar and read the text message. However, if I just press the menu key to exit the messaging application, the yellow envelope stays there. However, if I exit out using the back key, the yellow envelope disappears.
As of about 10 mins ago, when I get a SMS, I now get the yellow envelope and a second white envelope about 2 seconds later. The white envelope will only disappear when I press the Clear button in the Notifications bar.
I cannot figure out how to get rid of the second white notification envelope.
Edit: I have since realised that it is in fact a postcard icon.

I've noticed this feature too...it doesn't seem to clear the notification unless you drill right into the text message...ie click on the speech bubble.only then will it register as being read.bit annoying but can cope with it.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Did you instal any 3rd party messaging clients? I have never seen the white envelope before

think the white envelope is an e-mail

I can defo put up with this alright. By the way, you don't have to drill right down into the message. Just pressing the back button to exit out of the message is sufficient to clear down the yellow notification envelope
It is the second, the white notification icon, that is driving me mad. I can only get this to clear when I press the Clear button.
I just looked at it closer. The icon is actually a postcard.

I am pretty sure that I haven't. I just looked at it closer. The icon is actually a postcard.

I assumed too but it triggering everytime I get text message.

I figured out that it was "Beautiful Widgets: Pack 2" that was causing the problem.

thank you so much, because this was driving me crazy... i had reset my phone like 5 time because of this

How to change SMS alert ?
Hi everybody!
I want to create a custom SMS notification sound for selected persons on my phone.
When I can change a SMS alert for specific person, it's change for all...
Is it possible to do ?
I have tryed create specific folder with media for each person, but it doesn't work
Thanks

New sent/received text messages are not showing up.

sms text messages are not showing up in the main conversation window. how ever they are being received to the handset and i can read them from the notification to a certain amount of characters and i can see the latest message before the main conversation window.
nexus 4 android 4.2.2.
First bug is more important to me.
Second bug is a software screen error (it is not the screen itself that is at fault)
I have small moving lines just below the clock. it shows up all the time 2 or 3px height and from battery to the right of the screen. seemingly random moving lines. blue/black. any rotation/screen shot still shows this error so as i said it rules out that its a screen issue/dead pixels.
- see attachment.
note: restarting my phone does not fix any of those two bugs.
p.s. my english skills are not great so sorry about grammar.
Thanks in advance - James.P
