Does it also happen when you reboot youre phone? If not, you might be running out of memory. If there is a update availble for youre phone, its always adviced tot do a upgrade.
Yes when i reboot my phone i still have the same problem :-(

Well, then i am not able to advice you further. Maybe as you stated you should clean-up some text-messages. Or do a factory restore or update. But the last two suggestions are really drastic. You loose all youre data.
Hope some other member is able to help you
Did you notice this issue after installing a certain application?
If push comes to shove try TouchPal.
Free app on market.
i have the same issue sometimes. even after the rom update, or even moreso.
many times putting in text will be laggy and i have to wait. this wasn't the case in the beginning so i'm wondering too what is causing this lags...
install a app manager (Taskiller) will do and post the list of running apps, I suspect there will be something running in the background that is the culprit.
yeah i sometimes get the same issue - especially annoying when typing and I press the space bar, and it doesn't register the spacebar.

I fixed this by re calibrating the keyboard to my finger.
I came on here tonight to ask about the very same problem and found this thread.
My version of the problem is slightly different:
Usually when I've just turned on the phone texting is OK. After a while it becomes very slow and laggy, I mean glacial. If, for example I receive a text and want to reply straight away I'll hit 'reply' and it will take several seconds for the text entry screen to appear. Then the keyboard is laggy, literally two seconds delay after hitting a key before the letter shows on the screen.
Sometimes though, it will start off slow, like I just said and then half way through the message normal response will be resumed.
I did have Touchpal installed but this became very, very slow. Reverting to the standard keyboard improved things but still very slow as described.
I thought maybe it's something running in the background slowing things up but how can I tell what's running? Is there a good app for monitoring running apps?
I've just installed taskiller.
Amazing how many bits and pieces are running really.... anyway, killing a few running programs has improved things just now.
I'll keep an eye on it.
hi yeah i had the same problem as you when i was using the modaco rom
but then i changed to the updated rom
HTC Generic 2.73.405.5 with radio 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
on this website... first post
http://android.modaco.com/content/h.../03-09-hero-roms-radios-in-update-zip-format/
and all was fine
You will have this problem with many phones... On the hero it does not lag that much imho, it just takes a while to load many messages, like 100 and above will take a while, and sometimes the keyboard takes a while to load, that is true and I can confirm the same thing here :/

Well, when it is slow it is glacial on mine!
If it's misbehaving it can be five seconds from hitting the messages icon to actually getting anything on the screen, then a further five seconds after selecting the appropriate thread, then two or three seconds to get a useable text box to type into and then each letter takes a couple of seconds to register in the text box.
It's taken me a couple of minutes before now to actually get a two or three word reply sent off! Irritating in the extreme when you're really busy and just want to fire off a quick text.
I think you haven't updated to the lattest release of HTC for the Hero?
Then do so since it will fix your problems.
As people said here if it has to do with apps running in the background this is much better handled on Hero.
Android OS keeps all apps that you start in the background and begins to close apps if memory is getting short.

Mine's the T-Mobile G2 variant which I'm keeping stock (for the time being). The latest HTC ROM update has not yet been released by T-Mobile!!!!!
The problem I constantly get is some keys registering as a long touch, so I get the secondary symbol instead of the letter I intended. I press the key as long as all the others, but the phone seems to hesitiate for a second, then insert the symbol instead of the letter.

I sometimes get this also, but only in combination with the slow behaviour described above. If the phone is performing at normal speed then the long press problem doesn't occur.
Seriously unimpressed so far.
This thing has hung 5 or 6 times at least today (day 3....) and about the same yesterday
If this keeps up, I'm binning it and reverting to HD
Unbelievable!
What did you do ? Any pattern ?

Not much info there, my pictures hang up... on the wall everyday.
What are you doing? What have you been doing? Is it due to memory being full (as apps aren't closing)
Maybe I'm not hip to the slang but what do you mean it "hangs" or "hung"?
You must have a duff unit!
Well mine has been completely spot on!
Maybe its something you have installed causing issues? Try uninstalling things one by one to see if that rectifies any problems you may have.

"Hangs" means "crashes" or, more precisely "becomes completely and permanently unresponsive to anything less than a soft reset".
Possibly - and yeah, I know, that's next port of call TBH - it's just really pissing me off at the moment - NONE of my other HTC devices have ever behaved like this.
Just for the record, I've figured out exactly WHAT makes it hang - I open file explorer and navigate to the 'Windows' folder - bang....I get the rotating four colours and it's back off/battery out AGAIN
Thus far I've only installed Kinomaplay (which ISN'T behaving as it should IMO....although it performs it's media functions perfectly)
Coreplayer - which works ok
SPB Time - again, works 'ok' (both are really f..king fiddly to use/setup with this screen - which is ANOTHER thing I'm not impressed with at all - I've had an iPhone in the past - [capacative] screen response was perfect - this one?? have to jab at it several times sometimes to get the desired result and accuracy just isn't good for smaller targets)
One thing I have noticed is - I've only installed those 3 programs but almost all the device memory is used up!?? Unsure if that would cause an issue with it hanging and I've had loads more than this installed onto mt HD and was nowhere near the device memory limitations.
Hmmm....

I really would consider that you may have a duff unit. There are loads of peoeple on here who advise the screen is too responsive! Plus the lack of memory sounds like the biggest issue.
When you navigate to the windows folder, do you actually let it load or do you just leave it? Reason I ask is that there are thousands of files in there and it does take a while to read them. It did on my HD anyway.
Seems like when reg edits have been done to get task manager working how we are all used to it, should be working better.
Oh, software is made for resistive screens so some presses wont register as the software is more than likely looking for a more presice tap rather than a finer splodged over the actual area its looking for a response in. Should be fine later down the line when more things are brought to capacitive screens.
Hope it all works out for ya
That is true - the menus are a little small for finger use - so it will be a case of waiting I guess.
I removed all the progs that I'd installed already (includng 'microsoft my phone' - forgot about that one)
Screen is very responsive most of the time - but then sometimes it just seems to space out- almost like you catch it off guard - not what I'd expect frankly
It does eventually load the windows folder in explorer - but it takes about 2 1/2 mins to do so - no other folder does that to it, nor any other action - and it wasn't doing that up until yesterday
Hard reset next [if i can figure out how...] - if that doesn't yield significant improvement then it's back to TCR for an exchange (provided some more units have turned up by now!!)
Cheers though
Definitely a problem there, my windows folder loads instantly.

+1 ...... Mine loads in a split second
My phone doesnt hangs, but my /windows folder takes about 1/2 minutes in load.
No problems here either. One recommendation though for those with slow file list loading: try to enable and up the caches (which are stock) with Advanced Config. You will gain some more speed!
Hard reset and we're back to full speed again - I guess it was one of the programs that was screwing it up - thanks all for the 'benchmark'
I'm a bit suspicious that it was kinomaplay, as that was [occasionally]interfering with other operations by overlaying itself on top at times and was hard to get out of that loop as the 'X' [close] box wasn't always *really* there (only shown on screen but no actual function)
I might try it[kinomaplay] again - only this time try and figure out why it associates itself with image files that I'd rather the OE windows prog opened.
Thanks for the tip on Adv.Config Tnyynt - TBH I'd not tried to load that one yet, I'll try that in a sec though (it was a godsend on the HD)
There was definitely something funny going on with the memory space on the device, as after the hard reset I'm back up to '116MB free of 181MB' - whereas, even once I'd uninstalled all that had been added - and deleted additional ringtone wavs - I only managed to get a max. of 53MB available showing.

Sounds like Kinomaplay is searching and associating with files in the background. I think it may be set to do that by default but you can tell it not to in the settings - only trouble is you may have to wait for it to do it's thing as not sure if you can interrupt it. I got so fed up with the programme on the HD I trashed it - lovely interface though
Strange thing with Windows folder loading, with the "normal" Explorer it takes my device a very long time too (first few times did a soft reset because i thought it was hung also), but with Total Commander explorer the Windows folder is there instantly, sounds like Explorer runs into something, just have to figure out what though.
Crazy . . . . . . . . . . .
Mine takes just a split second to load windows folder!
But it crashes 2 - 3 times a day! Without doing nothing! When i try to unlock it, screen wont go on! Battery off, here we go again! And i got the no sound problem.. After 3-5 calls, i car hear what others are saying but they cant hear a word from me!! This is happening all time.. (tested all this even with stock rom and no apps installed or any tweak etc..)
I read here in the forums that other people have similar problems..And in italy the distribution stopped because of defected rom??
Some say it heppened in france too.. (allthough i live in greece, i got mine sent from france, expansys headquarters..)
So maybe its roms problem? Or just me having a possible defected device..?
Any of you with freezing problems etc..??
Some hangs and freezes in here too, latest was this morning when I had my phone plugged in the charged over night. I tried waking up the phone to check time so I press the power button: Button lights go on but no image on screen, had to take out battery and restart the phone.
Also I have had a few random hangs that required a soft reset too. I have installed the Electopia demo and the OpenGL speed tester. Also installed .net compact framework 3.5 because an app from marketplace said to require it.
I hope HTC takes care of this issues in an upcoming rom update! Otherwise the phone seems fine, although maybe a bit slower that I've seen in the pre-production reviews and videos which is odd...

I noticed that the hangs have something to do with the charging of the phone,no matter if its via usb or power pluged. Thanks for confirming though.. This is MAJOR issue for me..You think that your phone is ok in your pockets but it is shut down!!
About the sound problem i mentioned before?
Knock on wood my HD2 is rocksolid for now! Everything is fast and stable!
Even when typing at normal medium speed I find the keyboard will completely ignore/miss a letter or two at fairly regular intervals. I've tried editing the registry to lower the initial delay value down all the way to 1ms, but the issue still occurs. Is there a known cause/fix for this? Thanks...
try either of the last two cabs found here

Thanks.. I took a look and the issue I'm having seems to be a bit different from what those cabs address. Rather than oversensitivity or extra unintended keypresses, my screen/keyboard will semi-frequently (every 20th word or so) just momentarily become unresponsive and completely miss about two letters of keyboard input.
It's like the keyboard just locks up for about half a second and doesn't even display the little popup letters over the keys at all, and when it un-freezes it doesn't "catch up" or realize that two more letters were typed in the meantime. so if you were trying to type the word "keyboard" you would very likely end up with something like "keoard" as the two missing letters are just skipped completely.
Normally the sensitivity of keyboard and touchscreen in general is very very good and I only have to touch very lightly to get a response. 19 times out of 20 this is the case with typing on the keyboard no problem. Just every here and there semi-regularly a couple of letters will invariably get skipped, again without even displaying the popup boxes over the keys, and I'm not even typing particularly quickly either.
Are there any cabs for this issue..?
Just following up to my thread here from almost a year ago. I've tried multiple roms from XDA, as well as registry tweaks and fixes, and still cannot solve the problem. Does anyone NOT experience this problem, ever..? If you don't, could you please tell which ROM you're using, and what (if any) registry edits you've used?
It is completely impossible for me to type any medium-length sentence on my HD2 without at least a couple of letters/keystrokes being missed and ignored entirely. Every time. I'm willing to try anything but I desperatelty need help, as this one glitch renders an amazing high-end smartphone totally unusable for me...
What ROM are you using now? I am running the T-Mobile 3.14 ROM and I have similar priblem with my keyboard but not near as bad as you say you do. I have not tried tbe reviztry tweek hou mentioned previously in this thread.

Currently I have Dutty's ROM installed but I've tried multiple other ones including Energy, Elegancia, Laurentius etc, and the problem is always there, so I don't think it's the fault of any of the ROMs. Either I just have a bad unit, or all HD2's do this to some extent and the vast majority of owners just consider it an acceptable quirk and don't bother complaining about it.
The touchscreen on my HD2 is extremely responsive and fast in all other scenarios, and even when typing most of the time, so I dont think it's defective per se. It just seems that with a good degree of regularity the phone/OS decides to completely "pause/freeze" for a half second or so before resuming normal operation. So brief an instant that it isn't noticeable under any other cirumstances except typing on the keyboard, where it's long enough to eat up anywhere between 1-3 keystrokes depending on entry speed.
It's really a shame, because the Leo is in many ways the most powerful, super awesome smartphone I've ever used, but because of this one utterly intolerable bug it sits on my shelf totally unused, currently in favour of my Sony Ericsson Aspen which is far less powerful, but at least reliably useable for typing.
I'd be willing to buy another HD2 if I really thought it was my specific unit that was responsibe, but right now I have no dependable way of knowing that.
Have you tried other keyboard applications?
I found this cab in my sd card.
I remember it worked in my Topaz.
Give it a try.
I will give the cab a shot tonight when I am back at home, thanks. I have indeed tried alternate keyboards such as Resco and a few others, with no change or improvement, so I don't think it's the HTC IME keyboard specifically at fault either. My guess is that the whole screen is becoming unresponsive for that half second or so, not only the keyboard. It's just that it's only noticeable/irritating enough to be an issue when typing, because I have to constantly stop and go back to re-enter letters that were ignored along the way. It's a real dealbreaker for me on an otherwise outstanding device.
Do I take it correctly that you yourself never, ever encounter this issue when typing on your own HD2? Again for the record, it's not a matter of my typing too lightning fast for the Leo to keep up with. Even typing at moderate/regular speed (2-3 letters per second) the missed key issue occurs regularly.
I tried the cab but no luck unfortunately... I really wish I knew whether it was a problem with my specific unit or a model-wide issue that just doesn't get mentioned that often.
Is there anyone reading this, who has an HD2, and does NOT ever encounter this issue of typed letters/keystrokes being missed? Is there anyone out there who can say that their HD2 catches every keypress, every time without fail?
If this is true and applies to you, please respond and let me know! If there are units out there that are totally free of this problem, then I will not give up hope, and will try to replace mine. But I need at least a confirmation or two that some human on the planet somewhere has an HD2 that does not experience this problem...!
I've got an HTC Hero, it's GSM, ever since new I've found the keyboard to be incredibly frustrating. There's quite serve lag in many apps, typing in forms in some webpages is nearly impossible. Even the built in apps like SMS have lag. It's worse in landscape mode too. Sometimes it'll even pause for half a second mid key press and register that as a long press on that key (although this might be scanning for wifi, because bluetooth audio seems to hitch at similar intervals unless I turn it off)
I've tried countless different 1.5, 2.1 and 2.2 ROMs, with and without Sense, some are slightly better but they all suffer from it.
I've Googled it and surprised to find I don't see any other complaints in the internet about it, finally I've decided to post a question here. I would be guessing hardware limitations, either digitiser or the processor is just too slow.
Would be keen to here other people's thoughts on this though, has anyone managed to fix it?
Edit: I should add that I have the vibration on key press off already.

No lags here. Have you tried using lower overclock if you tried Froyd, since it doesn't need overclock to get higher speeds. I run on stock speeds, and have no lag issues using any keyboard in particular.
How bad a lag are you talking about? The hardware should be more than capable.
EDIT: hold on, are you meaning the keyboard is laggy. I think this is just the keyboard itself. Try something like ultra keyboard or swiftkey?
Yeah, the keyboard is laggy, I can almost type twice as fast as it comes up on the screen when it's at it's worst (usually in a webpage typing in a form). I haven't tried either of those keyboards, but I've tried other keyboards including the standard 1.5, 2.1 and 2.2 ones with the same problem.
This is a Hero issue, Froyd is a good rom works to reduce the lag for me
With the new cronos 1.3.0 all lags are gone. I had this issue with all roms before too.
Sent from my HTC Hero
A lot of us have had the device for at least week now so it would be a good time to post impressions after a bit more hands on time. I’ll start...
10 days in I’m still glad I got it but there are plenty of things that could be improved. I’ve been on HTC phones (Desire, Desire Z) before this running at different times standard HTC Sense ROMs as well as various versions of Cyanogen Mod and AOSP based ROMs. My views after 2 weeks of use:
* Loving the fact that Samsung appears to be treating this almost like a developer phone (ala Nexus) in terms of open bootloader, availability of source code etc. I’ve said my goodbyes to HTC precisely because of this.
* Based on the frequency of updates Samsung also appears to be focused on addressing issues. They are one if the first out of the gates for Gingerbread updates to their existing devices so I’m hoping they continue to focus on delivering on the latest versions of Android.
* Touchwiz is not as invasive as HTC’s Sense. It improves on stock android in many ways. My first Samsung phone so I can’t really speak of improvements over previous versions of Samsung ROMs but so far I don’t hate TouchWiz but I do find that they seem to take a lot of inspiration from Apple even when the standard Android implementation is better in some cases (I didn’t hate HTC Sense either but I did find it too far from stock for my liking). Having said that there are some totally brain dead decisions that Samsung appear to have taken which I just don’t get:
1) Default home screen on the left instead of the middle. Why copy Apple on this one when Android’s default makes so much more sense. I love having frequently used apps with a swipe to the right and an agenda widget on the left so I can get to both with a single swipe. Now I have to pick one.
2) Fixed icons at the bottom. I understand Phone and Apps being fixed but not messaging and contacts. I’d like to change those - hell, even Apple lets you change those. *** NEVERMIND *** See posts below. It CAN be edited.
3) Lock screen - talk about making something worse - this one takes the cake. Thank god for widget locker.
4) Dialer logs - I don’t want my SMS messages to show up on my phone dialer logs. There is no option to just view all calls without the rest of the stuff cluttering it up. (Yes I know I can switch to Dialer One but apart from this one major issue I actually like the default Samsung dialer).
* Wireless - Everything wireless about this phone has issues. May be a function of how thin it is but my experience so far:
1) Phone - Much improved after the latest firmware updates but data connection can take a while to latch on when moving out of WiFi coverage and sometimes just drops out for 5-10 minutes at a time for no apparent reason (even when the phone shows five bars in a strong signal area).
2) Bluetooth - The headset I have is not working well at all. Quality seems fine but every few seconds drops out or gets noisy for a second or so. The same headset works perfectly well with the HTC devices as well as with an iPhone.
3) GPS - Sometimes flawless but lock time is definitely a lot slower than the HTC devices. It also has a tendancy to lose lock a lot easier than the HTC devices. Other times it jumps around all over the place before getting a lock. Lots of weird behaviour here.
4) WiFi - Where other phones get weak coverage this one gets none. If you have strong WiFi signals everywhere you use the device this is not an issue. 5 Ghz also performs significantly worse than 2 Ghz.
* Battery life - It appears this phone has only 2 gears. A low gear for phone / SMS / push mail / browsing where battery life is excellent but then kicks into hyper-turbo mode if you use Flash video, games or anything taxing where it burns through battery life in no time. You can easily get through a whole day with power to spare if you stick to only the basic activities but best to use everything else while plugged in.
The reality is even with all these issues, I couldn’t give this device up. The power and speed coupled with the slim form factor and gorgeous screen are just too damn impressive and all the problems pale in significance. I might have had buyers remorse if the HTC Sensation was coming with an open bootloader and a slimmer profile but at the moment I don’t see anything that compares. I’m just hoping Samsung can fix some of the problems I’ve listed in software.
Regarding fixed items at the bottom: you can edit them from within the applications screen.

2) Fixed icons at the bottom. I understand Phone and Apps being fixed but not messaging and contacts. I’d like to change those - hell, even Apple lets you change those.
You can change those - Go to app drawer-> menu -> edit -> and drop the app you wants.

Nice honest and informative post. Most of the issues will hopefully be fixable once we start getting some custom ROMs I'm hoping. Or hopefully fixes direct from Samsung in regards to GPS, WiFi, and 3G. I guess time will tell.

Very puzzling that Sammy would have issues in key connectivity areas on such a high profile phone. Wonder if they''re all antenna related? As you say, hopefully not, and it's all solvable with SW.
Homescreen order
C'mon guys - it's not that hard to reorder your homescreens...
Just pinch zoom (helicopter mode) longpress & drag.....
Hope this helps you...

C'mon guys - it's not that hard to reorder your homescreens...
Just pinch zoom (helicopter mode) click & drag.....
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The issue isn't re-ordering. It's changing the default home screen from the left (on TouchWiz) to the middle (As on stock Android / Sense etc)

in the old TW, it allowed users to change the default home screen. I have no idea what happened to the new TW

After my first day with this phone I switched to the the ADW Launcher, Samsung really didn't think the TouchWiz launcher through - not only the default homescreen being on the left, but also the fact that Apps in the drawer aren't sorted alphabetically.
I used to own the Samsung Galaxy Vibrant. It's disturbing that Samsung is still not getting the GPS working right!

I'm on the latest firmware but it's still pretty buggy...
I've tried switching to launcher pro but I still get crash reboots and loss of sound.
Last night I entered the pin and the phone just reboots.
I also loose the clicks on the pin screen. When this happens you have to reboot go get audio back...I tried playing an mp4 video with no sound when it was in this state and it just said unable to play. Of course it worked fine after a reboot...
So pretty buggy at the moment
mine has no bugs or what so ever, after 2 weeks of used i can never compare it to other phones performance either android or iOS,i used both before but this one is simply way above them..
no built in stock music widget was a dissapointment for me as well as the horrible lock screen style and the lag during wakeup..apart from that this phone is really amazing..but touchwiz needs some serious thought...

Agreed that this phone is as speedy and steady as the HTC Desire and iPhone 4 that I have owned. The trick to all these phones is that if you play around too much with settings,tweaks,launchers you are likely to get problems.
