Hi all,
I'm a new PPC user and I love the customization and features that the phone offers, but I have one major gripe right now that's making me debate keeping the phone. I'm working with a XV6800 and I'm a frequent texter and the slowdown due to what I'm sure are a variety of things is really bothering me.
When I soft-reset the phone, everything is quite speedy, but over the course of the day, my memory starts to "leak" and everything slows down. It'll sometimes take my phone 3 to 5 second to switch from vertical to horizontal when I open the keyboard, another few seconds to open and look at the message, and then once I start typing, the letters drag behind at a speed much slower than the one I'm typing at.
My question is, will going with a stable ROM such as DCD's or Custel's when he releases one and keeping the number of applications I install and run to a minimum solve this completely? I'm experiencing this even after a few hours use with no other programs running, so I don't think that's the way a phone should operate "smoothly." Or am I completely wrong, is this just something I have to get used to and accept? If that's the case, I may be considering the wrong phone.
In addition, what about threaded SMS? Will that have any effect on this text messaging delay?
In summary, I'm looking to get rid of the delay in all of my apps and across the whole phone, not just in texting, but that's the best and most notable example I have. Any advice on speeding it up would be appreciated for these specific issues, but before I run out of time, I want to make sure this is a solveable issue.
Finally, on a separate note, is there any downside to doing several soft-resets a day if necessary? Eventually over the next week or so I want to tweak it to not have to do this, but for now, is that ok?
Thanks!

best thing for a speed is to get rid of the stock rom with custel or dcd's rom has higher pagepool and other tweaks. dcd's is very polished.
the phone is garbage with the stock rom. the memory leak is still an issue and is a "feature" built into windows mobile. i use oxios hibernate to release the memory though out the day. soft resets used to be twice a day with the stock rom, now it is once a week if that.

no downside other than you shouldnt have to do it. the stock rom is just garbage for even making you have to do it.
where do i find the other roms? sorry im new and don't have a whole lot of time at work to search.
I have a Wing and about two weeks ago, I put my first calendar event in it and since, it has been acting up. I deleted the calendar event and it worked ok. So last week I put another event in there I needed and now it runs a LOT slower and locks up when I try to text message. Once I slide it to use the keyboard, sometimes I can put in who I'm sending it to but once I get to the message, locks up. I can't close the program or continue typing. I close the slider and it stays in landscape mode. Every other program on here works well but sometimes slow. After lurking on here, i thought it was a memory issue, program or storage. I've done a couple things to move stuff to the memory card so it shouldn't be memory. I have plenty of space on there and nothing helps. I have an overclock program on here and run it at 228 instead of 186 but nothing changes. I also downloaded MemMaid and have played around with it trying to help but no. Anyone have an idea what could be wrong? Is there a way to reload just the text program to work right again? I don't want to do a hard reset because I have almost 200 contact #'s and I really don't want to lose all those or have to write them down and retype them all in. Thoughts? I know I'm not the only one and after searching/lurking on here for a few days, i'm not finding the help needed. Thanks!!!
forgot to state the facts.
Storage memory 27.56mb free, program memory 16.51mb free. I did delete the MyFavs program which helped dramatically.
Are you using the stock Rom? If so have you tried changing your pagepool? My experience with using the stock rom was disappointment and eventually changed to a custom rom. But I do agree with you it does sound like a memory issue.
Also I would consider finding a Contacts backup program so when it all goes to crap you are safe. There are many options for backing up so I would recommend just using your favorite search engine. But sooner or later your wing will get so unresponsive you will want to reinstall and a backup is a nice option with that many contacts.
I am going to do a backup tomorrow for sure but I don't think it's a memory issue. If it was, how do people have wings working perfectly with 4-8mb and I'm consistantly 13-16? It has to be a software issue which means it can be fixed. Anyone else have this problem? I saw a few people on Yahoo Answers but no one stated a fix to the issue. Beuller?
Also forgot which it just did again is once in a blue moon when I go to do a screen lock, it gives me an all white screen then won't let me unlock it. I have to do a soft reset. Another piece to the puzzle that no one is figuring out. lol
Lately it's starting to do it when I even try to type using IE, say to log into a gmail account or to put in a URL. Somehow the keyboard is locking up the phone all together. If I get a call during a time when it's locked up, it ends up ringing but won't let me click answer or ignore. It seems like it's memory but at all times I have between 14-16 megs of program available with over 26 megs of storage. SOMEONE here has to have an idea, right?
Apparently I've stumped the developers here... time to find someone who can help me.
The stock T-mobile Wing rom sucks... it has memory leaks and it doesn't work very well. Very often, you try to open a program like the camera, and it will say "not enough memory to run" ... or texting will freeze up ..etc...
Best thing to do is install a 3rd party rom...
go here to find one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=349
I personally reccommend ITJE or ASERG roms... I've used both of their roms extensively and have found them to be the most professional, fast and stable.
Awesome man! I will look into them when I get home and will try them out on my Wing. I'll look into the rom you're running because I'm sure it's stable enough. My question is, do any of these roms or are there any plug ins that can let me use multiple schedules on the calendar? If I could have up to 4 or 5, that would be ideal! I use 4 different schedules for work and would like to have a personal one as well. You're my hero.
anyone think this is a stock Rom issue? It's now starting to lock up anytime I try to use the keyboard. No matter the program. Thoughts?

I still use the stock rom, of course, I haven't had any of the problems you do. It acted up when I first bought it, but I hard reset and followed the steps in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326655.
From what I've read, T-mobiles roms are highly inconsistent. (surprise, surprise...) Some work decent if you don't mind a soft reset every morning, and some are just rotten apples. Try the mods and a hard reset 1st, but it sounds like you need a new rom.
Huh?

Hi folks,
Am a proud owner of a new HTC HD2 device with ROM Version 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE. The phone works wonders in all departments (calling, surfing, mailing, etc) but I have one issue since earlier today...
Situation: I installed the SWYPE software for windows mobiles. It is a great piece of software - really ask anyone who has used it - I got addicted to it within seconds to tell you the truth.
Issue: After successful installation and choosing SWYPE as the keyboard, the system works for a few minutes then eventually freezes and has to be reset.
Question: Anyone been through this mini-nightmare? I call it this because for a while I was very happy since my dream came true but it was short lived. Now I have to resist from using SWYPE and all seems ok...
Please do help me out here... I want to really start swyping on my new phone but there seems to be an issue that needs to be addressed
Is this a ROM related issue, a hardware related issue or a software related issue? WHat is the solution?
What software have you got installed on the device? Also have you installed Memmaid yet to auto clear your memory and notifications queue which can also cause lockups?
I am using Swype with no issues at all. Having said that I'm on ROM 1.48 but I don't see why the rom version should be relevant here (I could be wrong).
Will try and keep my eye on this thread but pm me if you need further help.
WB
Firsy and fpremost thanks for your super quick response.
Now, I don't use memmaid but CleanRAM, which works pretty well without issues. Not sure it's a good idea to use more than 1 memory management software. I've replied to your post using my hd2 but this time not using the swype software and guess what... no crashes.
I'm about to try and uninstal & reinstall SWYPE to restablish whether that helps...
I am getting occasional and intermittent lock ups which I have to admit I am attributing to Swype. I had it installed a few weeks back and had a few lock ups but until installing the sensitivity 3.2 CAB recently I found it hard to work with so took it off. The lock ups effectively stopped.
After installing the screen sensitivity fix I decided to give it another go as I liked the concept. This time it is unutterably brilliant, especially for longer and more complex words - staggeringly good...seriously. The speed I can manage is astonishing.
However, I'm back to experiencing occasional lock ups - perhaps one every two or three days.
I'm about to look at updating my ROM with a custom one and have no plans to ditch Swype.
I'm sorry I can't offer anything more helpful by way of a solution, but I can at least confirm that there may be an issue there. I'll report back if anything interesting happens post-ROM upgrade.
Hmm,
Don't know much about Clean Ram but I would advice a tool that cleans the ram AND the notification queues, etc.
Re Swype, are you sure you have installed the version for the HD2, ie WVGA? Also have you set Swype to be your default keyboard using a utility called Sip Change to be found here on XDA?
WB
Would really appreciate your posting the links to the mentioned versions of swype and tools required... I've just uninstalled SWAYPE and will install the correct version & required tools too as soon as you post the links and test the mobile out before going to bed.
Look in the Development & Hacking forum. Actually, better still, use this to search the whole of XDA...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=598952
Works pretty well. You are Looking for "Sip Change" and "Swype WVGA". If you can't find them let me know and I will see what I can do tomorrow.

Thanks for your feedback. We seem to have a few things in common. They include...
1. Installation of SWYPE resulting in freezing the HD2 (or lockups if you prefer)
2. Uninstalling does stabilise the device HD2
Well, as far as I'm concerned there might be a problem here, but then our friend wacky.banana confirmed that swype works well on his HD2...so why ont on our's?
I have a mission...getting to the bottom of this mystery...
I can confirm that swype work great on my HD2 also, I'm runniing swype, sipchange, sense & spbshell together, and though not really stable (a reboot every couple of days) works fine most of the time. The reboots are probably not as a result of swype, it just appears it's common with windows phones, and somehting I'll have to live with. Stability is a BIG issue, especially when compared to my old iphone, in 18 months that needed a reboot less than 10 times, the hd2 needs that or more in a month.
Ok... just installed the wvga version of swype one the xda site and this text is typed... oopsswyped using the software. Now all I have too do is play with the device and find out what happens next...
Will keep you guys posted...
Thanks for your reactions so far...
Alright guys here is the next installment of my monolog... lol
The tips by wacky.banana helped so far. I've managed to install the wvga version of swype followed by the sip change tool. The result is a greater degree of stability after an initial few minutes of nutty behavior by the device. Once I rebooted the mobile things stabilized.
The first battle has been won it would seem.Now we play the waiting game again...
All's well that ends well or a delayed case of disappointment? Only time will tell.
SlidezIT... Hmmm sounds like an option but before I embark on the adventure this is a demo version that dies on you (ends) after a trial period right?
10dulkar,
Now that you have got it working I strongly suggest that you invest in Memmaid to manage your notification queue. If you have any more strange lock-ups it will almost certainly be down to that unless you have installed some incompatible/unstable software that causes you problems.
PM me if you want to know how to set it up.
WB
E Nm,
Thanks for the tip/advice. Currently the device is stable with rom 1.43 (the original that the mobile came with) and cleanRAM works wonders; all this with swype installed of course.
They say, if it ain't broken don't fix it! Enough said really...
Thanks to you all your help and wish you ask lots of fun with you mobiles and a happy new year...
I have a problem with the Swype keyboard not loading sometimes, and also locking out the little keyboard button, so I can not change my input keyboard. NOTE - the phone is operational other than this.
I am convinced it is Swype causing this, as when I have TouchPal set as my keyboard I do not get this issue - however after using Swype, it's really hard to go back to a 'tapping' keyboard, it's so SLOW. Does anyone think installing SipChange will fix this problem, or are there any similar keyboards out there that challenge Swype?
Swype is a bad idea in general for the HD2. I'm completely locked out of mine and can't even do a hard reset.
That's probably due to you installing leaked versions from other devices. You can register for a Beta release of Swype on their website, as I think they intend to release it soon as a standalone app.
i got the us hd2 from tmo which comes preloaded with swype and i can say that texts in general seem to be an issue but mostly when swype is turned on.
if i get too many texts at once and try to use the messaging app it can freeze up sense but i am able to get into the start menu.
sometimes even if just one message comes in if i type to quickly with swype it does the same.
im blaming the combo of swype and the sense messaging app
Freeze issue cause
Strangest thing.
I too love swype.
I've tried TMOUS 2.10 stock, Duttys, HTC-like swype, PPC Geeks TMOUS extracted swype.
All give me issues of freezing etc, especially when in text msgs.
HOWEVER, in TMOUS stock rom, when frozen, if I take out the 16Gb sd card, instant unfreeze???
I put in an older 2Gb sd card, and no problems!!!
Deleting application data on 16Gb sd does not help.
Am doing more experiments.

Swype is amazing .. when it works.
i have tried the v2 version and experienced issues with camera (which i can only assume are because of swype as i havent had the issue since not using that version) which stopped the cam from initialising then eventually cam resetting to defaults?? with low res and white screen when taken a picture - since no solution was available i had to hard reset (this happened about 4 times)
i then installed (and still use) the version 3.9 and the camera issue no longer exists however a really annoying bug occurs sometimes the keyboard takes a long time to work, if i go to reply to a text and the convo is quite big, swype will not let me reply untill its fully loaded the texts (im assuming this.. its very similar to what sms txting was like b4 the sms fix update) if i switch to any other keyboard i can type fine , switch back and still have to wait.
i heard SwipeIT was almost identical, and thus went and bought it (maybe i should have tried the demo) and im not impressed, swype is far superior. im used to doing the loop for repeated chars and you dont do that on swipeIT (if you do it gets confused) , swype gets 99% of what i type and swipeIT seems to not understand more than it does. however swipeIT does not have the bug for sms convo replies so i keep it installed (that and i payed for it so its staying haha)
i accidently installed v2 of swype yesterday when i hardreset and tested the sms and was so happy that the bug was gone (As i didnt realise it was v2) , im tempted to put v2 back on and risk the camera bug
rant over ha
Typing responsiveness is a major issue for me.
Most web browsers, and most apps on the phone, even in texting........the responsiveness of typing is extremely poor.
Let's say for instance, I was typing the word: refrigerator
If I typed it very quick, most likely input would be lost by the 2nd or 3rd letter.
I never had this issue on the iphone
No matter what app I typed into on the iphone(when I had it) text input responsiveness was near 95-99% accurate, even when "texting" lightning quick.
The only time.........I ever get near 100% accuracy when putting text input at lightning speeds on the Atrix is when I "show keyboard" when I am making a phone call.
That's the screen where you get a large keypad, and the numbers are large green squares. Something about the memory management on this screen is perfect, but EVERY single other instance on the phone where I do input, text input accuracy is down near 15-20%...
I'm near the point of wanting to return this phone, because of this "aesthetics bull****"
Does anyone know what in the world could be going on?
It's a stock Atrix 4G with 4.1.83, the latest pushout from ATT/Motorola etc.
Android 2.2.2
Any ideas what in the world could be going on?
get the swype keyboard. I have never had this issue and i type pretty fast. I had an iphone and i can say it is just as fast if not faster.
Google "swype beta" and that will help you set everything up. it doesnt miss a letter EVER for me.
If your running a live wallpaper .. switch to a static one.. are you useing motoblur launcher?
Download an app to see how much free memory you have and what processes are running..

don't google it. just go to anything that has a text box, long press the box, select input method, and change to the swype keyboard. it comes on the phone, and if you try and install the beta over it you will screw it up.
there are many many different keyboards for android, start playing with some different ones till you find what you like.
I never noticed that as an issue on mine. Recently I switched from Swype to FlexT9 (speak/trace/write/tap). The speed and accuracy is really good and I like the predictive text. Also its speech to txt engine is scary accurate. Amazon app store (have to have sideloading enabled to be able to access the Amazon store I believe) was giving the Flex away for free the other day (each day Amazon gives away a free app).
I rooted my phone at one point, then went back to stock after I went to 4.1.83, and at&t unrooted my phone etc...........
Since I am now at 4.1.83, do I have to somehow flash to an older version, to get some of these keyboard alternatives?
On a side note, since I went to 4.1.83, is my phone screwed....ie: no future rooting?
I read the may 18th post on the main website, not the forums here, that the atrix full bootloader unlock/(work around/BL bypass) is coming.....
But has no one noticed ANY issue with the stock keyboard, ie: text responsiveness? its really frustrating.
I've tried SWYPE, and i like it......it is accurate, but I'm very used to typing manually very fast, with no memory leaks...
Are any of the alternatives for all keyboard input on the atrix, as responsive as the iphone 3G/S/4 etc?
for the short time i used the stock keyboard i noticed no issues with it. it's a multitouch keyboard, so it should be excellent.
to get other keyboards just search for them in the market and install them.
swype lets you type like a normal keyboard as well as the swyping motion, you can try that.
you can still root, thought you don't need it for keyboards. just find the gingerbreak method.

I know exactly what you're saying. And the real problem isn't the keyboard but motoblur. The multitouch keyboards on other phones are excellant but on the Atrix its very unresponsive because of the motoblur junk but if you download almost any other keyboard from the market you'll notice that the responsiveness is instant and you can type as fast as you want so hussy give other keyboards a try for the time being.

Swiftkey is another good replacement. I do have the T9 one mentioned earlier but I haven't tried it. As someone else said, go to the development forum and find the easy gingerbreak thread... it really is easy. (Backup your internal SD card first).
The keyboard does seem to be a little bit better on the iphone. I had the Iphone when i decided to find out what all the hype was about. I don't like many things about the Iphone which is why I use an android phone still. My HTC G1 had this terribly but don't notice it on the Atrix, however i used swype pretty much from the time i took it out the box. Just did a quick test to see if i could simulate what you talking about. I seem to mis-type and catch the letter beside the one that i want but haven't missed but a few letters here or there.
However I prefer to swype and my Iphone 4 didn't have that, even third party through cydia. Try using swype or flext9, typing is so old school. I love the flext9 app because I can drive and just talk to my phone and it types my texts for me. I suppose there are many other apps that do this very well also and probably for free. The app also learns to stop suggesting bs words that i don't ever use and inputs the ones i use most often saving me time when replying. I have big fingers and always type the letters beside the ones that i want anyway even on the Iphone, so i don't plan on ever typing anytime soon.
I switched from the 3gs too and had the same issues. Here's what I did to fix them:
1) get rid of motoblur launcher and install launcher pro. After doing that my keyboard got much smoother.
2) Install the gingerbread keyboard from the market. Its free, but the paid one has a nifty feature where you can adjust key size. If you don't want to pay, I suggest rooting and installing gingerblur, which comes with a new keyboard.
Hope these two tips help.
Sent from my Gingerblurred Atrix
The original keyboard is garbage. I switched to 'elite keyboard pro', pro being the pay version. They have an iphone 'theme', that should get you back to a more comfortable place and its very responsive.
I love Swype. I didn't mind the stock keyboard, but i'd say my issue with it was more an apparent lack of auto correct than being unresponsive. I'd notice it i tried to type as fast on the stock keyboard as i did on my iPhone 4, i'd wind up having misspelled words fairly often (probably due to different letter spacing between the iPhone an Atrix). Don't think i've ever noticed an unresponsiveness.
If I am running Android 2.2.2, with 4.1.83(att / motorola patch), which software do I use to root my phone?
There seems to be so many methods out here right now....etc.
Hey everyone, I came from a Galaxy S4 (using I believe Android 4.X for the longest time), to finally upgrading to an S8 (on Android 7.X now), and I'm getting really fed up with the keyboard, so I'm hoping someone more experienced in the matter can help me with. Dunno if these are an issue on the S8, on Android 7.0, both, or whatever, but it's driving me insane.
But first: Using Samsung's keyboard (English US), predictive text is on, auto spell check is on, and I typically use "swipe to type" rather than pressing individual keys. This is also what I did on all my old phones and it's never been this horrible.
- The autocorrect isn't learning. At all. I cannot tell you how many times I've use the words "to/too", "home" and "come", but every single time, I get "top", "hone", and "cone", to the point where I've had to delete the words from the phone's dictionary. Never had this problem except on brand new phones (and by brand new, I mean first day or two of having it, not *2 full weeks later*).
- On top of autocorrect not learning, randomly I'll get 2 separate words, though it's more gibberish like "c be" or something like that. It's definitely not what I swiped and I don't know what I do differently to see such results. I don't even know how swiping can get you two words, let alone when there's no differentiation between short and long words. Again, never had this issue before.
- For whatever reason, some texts/other inputs put a space before the first word. It starts fine, but as soon as I input the first word, there's a space before it. It's minor but with my OCD, it drives me insane and I'd really like it to stop.
So yeah, those are my problems, really hoping someone can help me out, even if I have to download a new keyboard (if it comes to that).
Thank you for your time!
Me too
You have described my frustration to a T. I came from an S5 to S8+ and the swipe/dictionary is driving me crazy. Same things you experiencing. I try to type Saturday, it gives me two words cn.. theiys Makes no sense, don't know where that comes from. I get random spaces, especially if I edit. I can't figure out how to update the dictionary as like you, it is not "learning" me at all. I try to use the word "will" in a sentence and it gives me "Erik". HUH??? It should give the most common word first. I can't imagine more people are typing Erik than will.
I hope someone can explain how to fix/update this.
I type normal words and sometimes it changes them completely.
Earlier I was typing silly and it kept changing it to sully.
Did it 3 times in a row.
Things like that are annoying.
I came from Galaxy S6 Edge. I experience the same behavior with the keyboard as you describe. Annoying to say the least. Maybe it's time to install a different keyboard
try Gboard..... or swifkey

I tried using the default Samsung Keyboard for a little while, but noticed the same issues. Switched back to GBoard and very happy. Not as "pretty" but it gets the job done much better. Biggest benefit is that all my words and such are stored in the cloud with GBoard, so when I switch to another phone (work phone) it still works just as well. AND, when I buy the Galaxy S9 it will work the same no matter what.
I've had similar frustrations with the keyboard. One particular example is when I type "Kara's" the keyboard changes to "Kara s". When I try to correct it, it changes to "Kara 's".
I also sometimes get two words that don't make sense when typing one longer word. I didn't have this issue with the S7 edge.
I have had the EXACT SAME PROBLEM! I'm about ready to throw this tho g though the wi die. SEE? UGH!
Gboard and SwiftKey are highly recommended.
I personally use SwiftKey because it has great prediction in non English languages (Romanian, in my case) and a lot of cool themes.

I agree with last commenter about using SwiftKey, it does remember words properly and seems to be very intuitive.
Sorry for bringing this back to life, but does anyone knows a solution to this issue? It seems to be affecting most common keyboards. In my case I use Swype. Switched from S7 to S8+ and Swype started failing to complete full words, starts creating spaces an nonsense constructions. I've been reading that Swiftkey is also having the same problem.
On the other hand Samsung Keyboard works fine but sucks at recognizing words properly. Thanks!
I'm having the exact problems. Came here to find a solution and saw your post first. Ive also deleted words so they don't come up, I get spaces and other times it won't space. Some words just do not show up unless I type them... I, too, use the swipe feature
Just use Gboard and problems solved. Honestly it's ridiculous.
So no real answer besides switch keyboards? Can you still swipe text on different keyboards?
Swiftkey is always the first app I install on a new phone (or after a factory reset). Just do it, make the switch. You will thank yourself.
Yes, Swiftkey does swipe (I don't use it).
I wanna scream at Samsung

I am having the same problems described above. I'm realizing that Samsung was not careful and thorough to test out it's product before launching sales.
They tell me I must go to Best Buy to have a "reflash" done to the software.
I am SO not the techie. I am becoming an android hater w/ this experience. I have already tried all the above suggestions.
If Best Buy can't help, I may take phone to the gun range for target practice.
