Has anyone ever had this happen before? I'm getting it a few times a week...
I'll be working on something and all of the sudden the top and bottom curtains change. It will say Messaging at the top with the X at the top right corner and then give two soft key button options at the bottom curtain. I can't remember what they were, but I'm thinking Delete and Menu. It just randomly pops up with no window. I can click the X and it goes away. But what is the deal?
I believe this is a problem with sense 2.x I had this problem on my tp2 when I upgraded and flashed roms, and my wifes tp2 with the stock update. one of the many reasons I switched the phones back to tf3d... that and the memory leak issue with every single instance of sense 2.x
its a nice shell, but its just too buggy, and it doesnt really lend itself to productivity.
This happens to me on my stock Tilt 2 all the time. Even after a few hard resets.
I thought it was just my TP2 that had this issue.
I've deactivated Sense 2.1 on my unbranded HTC standard 6.5 ROM but the messaging window (top and tailed) still appears.
I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that I have the phone set up to check for emails every x minutes and that is when the window 'overlays' the existing screen being viewed.
If someone knows a fix, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
I always thought it was because I deleted tmail.exe from my startup programs...

Does anyone have a problem with a slow lagging keyboard while typing text messages. I noticed it after I installed the Black 2.5 rom. I have installed the keyboard mapping fix but that did not help the lagging issue.
I been typing like crazy today on my 8525/2.5 with MSN Live Messenger. Seems very fast to me..
I had the same delay...Can't remember if disabling the word completion took care of it or installing the memory performance cab from JJ that took care of it. I'm banking on the memory performance cab though.
I have noticed this issue a little bit, but if I remember correctly Ive had the problem even before isntalling any of the roms, and it only happened for the first set of characters that I types (usually the first word).
Has anyone else noticed this with the standard wm5 roms?
I've experienced the same issue.
I wonder if it was one of the patch cabs that I installed cause I have not seen a lag at all [yet]. Perhaps it is just waiting to pop up on me.

Are you talking about the pop up keyboard?
I think what the OP was taliking about is that when you first start typing with the pull out keyboard there is a slight lag, like with me, I'll start typing - it hesitates - and then it like catches up. Not only that but the screen even goes dim for a moment .
I don't remember if I had this issue before or not.
Nope, I was talking about the pull out keyboard. Seems to work very well so far. I just retested it in Work and in MSN IM.

Oh well.
I'm not going to concern myself too much with it, because I'm hoping by tomorrow I'll be running 3.0
Similiar typing issue here on 8525
I've noticed the same typing issue using both Black 1.2 and Black 2.5 were it often lags or simply skips a letter (usually "h" after "t" leaving "te" instead of "the" or "s" after "i" leaving "I" instead of "is")
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 8525 keyboard fix cab, but it does not help.
Two things I have noticed:
1.) The typing problem does not seem to appear until several days after I flash the ROM.
2.) It really only seems to affect the Messaging app. (When I type into PIE forms or Notes, the problem does not seem to exist)
Definitely did not have this problem in WM5, so I am hoping that the problem will be gone in Black 3.0
this is a real problem. I have experienced it with all wm6 roms I have installed. I have a strong feeling its related to the suggested word list that comes up....but this is a rediculous problem for us to have to deal with and should be fixed. I also agree that its limited to the messaging app.
Ezra
yes the problem i was originally talking about is with the messaging app only. i have no problems in word, or IE. I have the memory performance cab installed but noticed it before that as well. does anyone see a difference with the suggestive words disabled?
Put 3.0 on Hold

I'll PM JJ and ask him to hold off on the release of 3.0 until he's sure we won't have this issue.
Just Kidding. .
I actually started a thread about this a while ago but titled it in reference to skipping keys because I type so fast with the thumb keyboard that the device cannot keep up and omits some of my key-presses. However, someone suggested something that I had tried with WM5 (but it didn't work then) but hadn't thought to do with WM6.
Go to Settings>Input>Word Completion(tab) and change the "Suggest after entering" setting to something such as 3 or more letters. I have mine set to 4 letters and have zero problems with skipping or slow typing unless in a third party program such a TomTom.
a little out of topic...
but after changing to black 2.5 my time zone seems to be weird....i had tried to set it to GMT+8 Singapore time....but after a while it will change to another country thats GMT+8 but when i change it back to GMT+8 Singapore time.....it will be one hour early.....
I have the slow keyboard problem too.. Its making me mad.. And the black2.5 rom seems to slow down a heck of allot after a week or so use.. Any ideas why would this be aswell?? I only have 4apps installed.. One on today screen and rest only when i use it..
a slow keyboard is one thing, but skipping letters is another. (This issue pertains to not only Black, but also Custel, LVSW, and Dutty)
The thing is, when i text message, i start typing immediately after the window pops up. But for some reason, it lags, and then when it catches up i notice that my first 3 words are so are all butchered cuz letters were dropped. I didn't experience this issue with my MDA Vario / 8125. The worst that would happen is the text would lag, but would eventually catch up to my typing. And it WOULD NOT drop any letters. With the new wm6 roms for hermes, im noticing lag and letter dropping. I've tried the suggestion of even turning off autocomplete, and setting 1 word, 2 words, 3 words, and 4 words. Still having the same issue. I opened a thread about it long ago, but it just got closed because they "supposedly" deemed it a fixe issue. Well its not!
To clarify: I'm not trying to bash any of the rom chefs' work, as i am very thankful for what they do. But it would be very nice to have this issue addressed and fixed.
Has anyone tried changing the Up/Down Control repeats....
Settings/Buttons/Up Down Control?
I put mine up to max, and seems to have fixed my problem....
@ **Milo**
Hi and thanks for the sugestion , i tried it and my slow typing issue has gone. As an experiment i switched the rate back to where it was (about one third of the way up the slider) and its still gone. It seems switching the slider up to max cleared whatever setting was causing the slow down.
Im going to leave the phone on standby for a while then try it again to see if this has any effect on it.

Hi All,
Using official htc sea wm 6.5
1
=================
Anyone encountered this so called memory leak before??
Try this:
Lock screen by going Start (honeycomb) then lock
I noticed if i lock the screen memory uses up ALOT whole faster... within half a day it hits to 78% used... When incoming calls, screen does not show, but phone vibrates, i press the answer and phone picks up ok... other functions like sms and emails works ok, but alot slower too.
2
==============
I'm also using a mp3 ringtone though.. not such if this caused it, i have actually shorten and compressed the file already, was 7mb, drop to 3mb to 1.8mb now to 1mb...
I noticed when calls comes in, the screen does not lag that much (earlier issue does not happen in this assumption)...
3
==============
Camera application if activated in my pocket (Mis-press, i current assume so..) for unknown amount of time, i notice it and close it.. applications fail to launch properly...
Bottom menus (the phone(left), camera(right) on home screen etc) all dont work anymore.. it jus does not display out properly..
Top menus (close button etc) also does not display properly.. say i press start button (top right on home screen), the top menus bar changes to light blue, but honeycomb on main windows does not come out. No close button on top right either, but i can still close it (looks like not rendered properly of sorts)
TouchFlo3d works still though... i can rotate around phone, contact etc etc
4
==============
Memory uses up alot faster... after i soft reset the phone.. memory hovers at 50%, within an hour will go up to 61% odd.. but stabilizes... phone can be used ok..
5
==============
There are occasional random crashing of god knows what.. sometimes during sms i notice theres a popup of errors in some service of sorts... notice happens during sending sms mostly...
6
==============
Screen auto changes between landscape and portrait mode, sometimes it auto recovers, else, i need to slide out keyboard for awhile, wait for it to stablise, then close keyboard. Not sure if this is the result of taking out from the lather pouch??
Anyone noticed or encountered all these before?? HELP!! ; ;
Program installed:
==============
Google Maps (Update)
Batti
Carmin Mobile XT
Windows Live (Update)
NoPushInternet
MarketPlace
Youtube (Update)
WorldMate Live Installer
WorldMate Live
SKTools
MySoftReset
All programs have been there more or less for a few months already... The programs indicated with (update) means i updated further from default.
Is this a software thingy probably that a hard reset could solve it, or this is more like a thingy that needs to go into service center??
1. That sounds normal. I was using the official HTC WinMo 6.5 ROM a while back and I remembered that the RAM usage stabilized at around 75%. This is regardless whether you use the lockscreen or not.
2. Don't know what you mean...
3. Sounds like a one-off thing. Can you replicate the problem consistently?
4. This is normal. Goes for all WinMo devices.
5. Sounds like an issue with your carrier's network.
6. My best guess is that the magnet on the pouch is affecting the screen rotation.

Are u using any mp3 ringtone? Does it have any issues if we use a big mp3 as ringtone??
Noticed if i use a big file, when calls/sms comes in, phone will "lag" and vibrate with no display of incoming call...if you press call(pickup) button, it ok ok..

I use a 1MB mp3 file. Works fine for me. But I can see that it makes sense for there to be a lag if a large file was used. Lesson here is: try to use small sound files for performance!

one thing..
for issue 3, its happening at random.. happened maybe a total of 3 times... i do not actually see a pattern as or yet..
for issue 5, i get this Microsoft error that says some process has crashed and need ask if i want to send the report to microsoft or not.. dont think this is related to carrier..
I upgrade my phone to wm6.5 after the tmo stock rom is released, and am happy with it in general. However this is still one bug, which I searched but couldn't find anyone talking about it.
The customized notification and task manager drop menu will disappear after making phone calls using either speaker phone or sometimes with bluetooth. The problem is, it's not reproducible, but happens at least once for every three phone calls like that. The only way to bring those back is a soft reset which is kinda annoying. The only conflicting software I can think of maybe the smartlock I used, which is used to automatically lock the phone during standby or in the phone conversation.
Does anyone have a similar problem? I had similar problems when I was using wm6.1 stock rom (before the upgrade) but not nearly as bad (maybe once in 20 phone calls).
Thank you!
I had this problem when I installed a taskbar that technically wasn't for stock 6.5
This happens with the stock rom without any other taskbar installed.
Looks like no one has the same issue?
I've had it maybe not show up all the time without a custom taskbar installed, but never had to reset to get it back again.
Finally figured out this is actually associated with the smartlock I'm using.
Switched over to csdevctrl and symptom seems gone.
The best I can describe it is when opening a text from the notification bar it brings me to the top of the SMS thread, which can be quite long sometimes and the only way around it is to back out and re-enter the thread to get to the most recent message.
I love how smooth this phone runs, I can deal when resource heavy applications freeze for a bit or have bugs. However when simple phone based applications do things like this I kind of twinge.
Any help on either what does this or how to fix it?
Is this stock? Never had that issue? Maybe try deleting some or all your txts? I know the stock app gets flaky when you have a ton of messages on your phone
sent from a phone
i get that same thing when i have 200+ messages in a thread. its somewhat annoying.
It's happened with stock and in skyraider now
Easy trick that works for new when that happens: hold menu so the keyboard pops up, bringing you to the text field at the bottom.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5.3.
I have not run into this problem since I have been using Handcent for SMS.
have this same issue, and this is with stock 2.2 from big V.
one thing i've found to get around it though is backing out of the thread and then re-entering will put you at the end normally and also if your typing and bounce between the 159 and 161 character count, not tapping back and just changing orientation a few times will set it straight again and you can continue editing the message.
Will say, i've got threads that are 2k messages long and even then its a hit or miss thing to the point where i cant get it to happen right when i'm in front of a big V tech. :/
i get that occasionaly and i get a glitch where even if i click on the sms notification it still shows it in the bar.
Hi
I've had my HTC One X for amost a month and I absolutely love it.
However, I've encountered a few issues with my phone.
Firstly, whenever I restart my phone or power off and turn it back for some reason the icons of some of the apps that I've added to the homescreen either display the green android icon in its place or the icon of the app is showing what it should but the name underneath the icon disappears. On eway to overcome this problem is to delete the icon from the homescreen and re-add but this becomes a bit tedious after awhile.
The other issue I have is the multitasking. More often than not, when I'm switching between apps it often restarts the app rather than leave it where I left off. This is quite irritating at times. When I had my HTC Desire, which served me well for 2 years, I never had this problem. Apps will stay open and not restart. Is this an ICS, HTC One X or is there something wrong with my phone.
Has anyone else had the two problems that I've outlined.
My phone is Grey, HT23. Fortunately I do not see the corruption banding problem on my screen.
Thanks in advance
