I had a threaded application that also came with a soft key , but it took up too much memory, so i just downloaded extreme text yesterday. This program is pretty good so far, but it isnt integrated wit the factory texting system, which means I will have unthreaded messages if i open the stock texting program, So i will have to open extreme text everytime i want to see my threaded text. . I dont have a problem with this , but extreme text doesnt disable the message sent notification and its not free.
Can any of you guys recommend a better threaded texting application, preferrebly a free one with a today plug in?? HELP
Search for the "palm threaded sms" in the forums. Some people have probs with it but so far on my hermes its been really good for me.
when im reading a text message in touchflo, i tap the message and it takes me to another touchflo messaging thing tht takes forever to load. i liked how my old TP took me to the windows threaded messaging and it loaded much quicker. any way i can do this?
i usually just click all messages and click on the message i want to reply to.
I got my TP2 yesterday... i noticed a huge lag in responding to text messages once i added all my TP text messaging history/data to my new TP2...
It takes like 15 seconds to load all the message history when i tap a text message in touchflo in order to reply.... on my touchpro i just taped a textg message and 4-5 second later im in threaded messaging ready to reply. This was way better... maybe someone can figure it out with a reg edit or something
I am trying to narrow down why some of us are having SMS lag. Lets say when you send or receive SMS, your phone lags for a few seconds to sometimes a minute. I have tried a few ROMs and still have this small amount of lag. I believe it might be the radio I am using.
TP2: TILT 2 from ATT
ROM: Feb 7th NRG Sense 2.5 from 21XXX
RADIO: 4.48.25.20

I had some SMS lag on my stock 6.1 tmobile ROM, but it doesn't seem to be there anymore after I ran the fix to kill the "sent" notification. I can't find the cab for it just now, but you can find it easily in the forums here.
EDIT: I have radio 3.45.25.14, just fyi.
Thanks. I disabled that. Are you using Sense 2.5?

I just switched to Sense 2.5. I haven't been using it enough to experience this lag, but I noticed when in a text message and switching to landscape I freeze up on occasion. I have to make sure the text screen is fully loaded before sliding my keyboard.

I have the sms lag with official T-Mobile WMO 6.5 and Sense 2.1. When I exit a chat it hangs for 5-10 seconds everytime. I also get lags after sending SMS's. I didn't have this problem with stock 6.1.
What are the chances we get a hotfix from HTC/WMO?
I've had the sms lag with every Manila 2.5 ROM I've tried. Starts out nice and quick and then after about 3 days it's very laggy. Deleting text messages brings it back up to speed usually.
Otherwise no lag here, specs in signature.

It's simple...the core code for the sms app is crap. Like Toleraen said, if you clear out your messages it's good for a few days...or less depending on the volume of text messages that you send/receive. I send/receive anywhere from 100 to 150 messages everyday so my tilt2 doesn't take long to start lagging. The problem is within the windows mobile code. The sms code has been crap since winmo 5. I've had the treo, mogul, tp and now the tilt2 and they're all the same...lag lag lag. That's why you still see the lag even in cooked roms. I don't believe any of the core code is re-written in any of the cooked roms (correct me if i'm wrong). The problem for me is that I need to keep all my text messages (for business purposes) so I will ALWAYS experience this lag. Either way, you shouldn't need to constantly be clearing out your messages for your phone to work. With all the text messaging people do these days it needs to be a daily task, and who has time for that. Microsoft needs to re-write this app and make it more efficient. BTW, htc released a hotfix for this "sms freezing" for the tilt2 and I installed it on my tilt2 and it didn't make a bit of difference.
So, if anyone out there has actually found a real solution to this, please share.
BTW I have an att tilt2 with the stock 6.5 rom.

I think a lot of the reason I don't experience this is because I keep my sms storage trimmed almost all the time. I too need to retain a lengthy history of texts, I just use a solution that stores and backs them up off-device in a way I can quickly reference via a PC...any threads I'm not actively using get backed up (manually), singly or in batches, at least once a day. There's a number of tools that can do this, I personally use MyPhone and Jeyo Mobile Companion.
If your need to keep the messages also dictates that you need them on-device at all times, then you might want to see if any of the SMS apps available for WM have the ability to save them in an accessible format elsewhere on the phone, like in a folder on the SD card (ideally).
This obviously doesn't solve the root issue (which I agree is endemic to WM...the same exact issue occured on my Wizard and my dad's TyTN), but it's a fairly painless way to sidestep it

I also use a couple of tools to back up my messages (jeyo mobile extender and mIQ live) so I guess there really isn't a need for me to keep my messages on my phone. I just don't have the time to sit there and trim down my sms storage on a daily basis. Deleting messages is also a slow process on winmo. It just annoys me that something this simple and easy to reproduce passes QA and gets released to the public. It shouldn't be up to the consumer to find workarounds for these bugs. Ultimately I think it comes down to trying to keep up with the competition. Microsoft and HTC are trying so hard to keep up with the iphone, blackberry and now the droid that they've really eased up their QA process and let things like this get passed QA just to release a phone. From my standpoint, they're not doing themselves any favors by doing this.
I text about 100 times a day as well. That is sending and receiving.
I was thinking that was the problem too, and as it seems a lot of us that have experienced the lag have a lot of text messages.
It sucks because I like to keep all my text!
This never happened on the WM 6.1 on my Tilt 1 though.
Coming near a conclusion that it is the major amount of text we have guys?
With my GF thread we probably have about 1000 something text messages over the past few months.

Yeah I didn't have the text lag with 6.1 either. I find it quite odd and annoying.
No lag in SMS, see signature for specs.
I also get a lag with the latest mighty rom but its mostly a lag when replying to a text message or even trying to close the window for text messaging it takes 5-10 seconds at times to close. I thought it was something with the software < i wish there was some time of program to overclock how fast the sms software works

How much text messaging do you do on a daily basis and do you regularly clear your inbox?

I text about 500 a month (based on my bill) and I keep a clean inbox. I delete it every few days.

This is why you don't get any sms lag. I do 500 every two or three days and I don't ever delete. I need to keep my messages for business purposes. I have software that backs up my messages to outlook but I like some redundancy. Either way I don't have time to sit there and clean my inbox on a daily basis and I shouldn't have to. With the volume of texting that I do I would have to clean it every day to keep my phone from lagging. Winmo stores an "unlimited" number of text messages (provided there memory available), yet the phone doesn't work properly if the inbox is too large. To me, that's a feature wasted. If you're going to give a phone a feature, make it so that it works.
Tmobile 6.5 Rom Mine lags all the time. I'm not patient so i soft reset most of the time. it is pretty annoying

Same here.
Is there a 3rd party application that can be used? The only thing I can do to stop the lag, is to run traditional mode, which is not what I want. (HD2)
I disable the HTC Messaging service and use the WM client.
You can still use the HTC messaging from the contact page of a person, but it sets the WM as the default
See my post here and try it out if you want.
Theres no lag at all.
I still get the lag after I send a message and exit out of the screen to go back to sms inbox, anyone find a solution yet?
Hi all, I read the other thread on this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568361&highlight=text+message+limit) and figured I'd start a new one rather than resurrect that one out of nowhere. I understand the whole "Manilla only shows 25 texts while the others are actually saved" thing, but does anyone know of a way to get all of them visible on the manilla interface? I'd much rather see 1/x number of messages on the sms tab than 1/25 just for the sake of knowing how many texts i have stored.
Thanks
I dont think this is possible, and I am not exactly sure that you would want this because Manilla Caches the messages, i could be wrong though, but if it does cache the messages, you would be very unhappy with your device's performance. I send about 500 messages a day, and recieve a little more than that, messages are about 5k each, thats about an additional 2 megabytes of cache, sounds like a little, but sense struggles to run as it is.
I'm using my G2 rooted with Cyanogen, and I just deleted all my messages in the daytime. However, I'm a heavy texter and rarely delete my texts, and at the end of the day my phone has like 300 messages and is slow as **** when it comes to responding.
Does anyone else have that same problem in their phone? I also have the iPhone 4 and its smooth as silk with about 20,000 texts in 4 months (once again, I'm a heavy texter). I'm thinking about letting go of this awesome device if I have to delete my texts every other hour.
go to the sms settings and have it auto delete after any amount you put. for me i got to delete after 75 messages per recipient. obviously it deletes the oldest text first.
