Texting is an ordeal any help?

On the newest modaco .. i find the htc_ime is really laggy when texting it makes it so difficult to text sometimes ! Does anyone know any fixes for this ? Even when ive used taskiller to kill all the other tasks it is still so slow. Please don't advise better keyboard i didn't find it helpful.

wipe & reflash

I tried that .. nothing .. epic fail... do you get decent texting speed?

i had this prob with many of the 2.1 roms, a pause between typing would be seen as a long press. making texting a real ordeal
i went back to modaco 3.1
all is good now

Yes, many 2.1 ROMs have this lag, but none of the MoDaCo ROMs .. they work perfectly!

I know it sounds stupid, but are you sure you'r using MoDaCo 3.1? I have never had any lag on the ROM at all. Even the keypad/keyboard. Where as that was laggy on stock 1.5 Sense and all of the 2.1 roms. But since i flashed MoDaCo all is good.

I am possitive i am using 3.1 ... i have always had this problem its been so laggy texting like ... if i write three words it will only be half way through the first word when im finished and il be waiting and generally when you rush it gets confused and starts changing your words to weird longer ones.
thanks for the thoughts thought but keep them coming! Come on

Im using modaco 3.1 and the only time mine ever gets laggy which is very rare is when my wifi is on. Otherwise texting runs like a dream or hero excuse the pun. I have read by turning the "vibrate when typing" off in the settings helps supposedly to speed it up a little. Otherwise i recommend like others before me, to do a full wipe and reflash also backup any important files you need to keep i.e nandroid etc that u have on the sd card and format it. Also wipe ext 2 or ext 3 if you are using it. As I had to after installing 3.1 as i found it a bit laggy in areas. Good luck.

completely removed ext partition remade it installed rom and still same lag... havent even put old stuff back on simcard..

Try this, install and use Advanced Task Killer there's a free version in android Market. Maybe you have an app that is hogging all your cpu just kill that app and try your texting. Although you shouldn't have since u wiped. Unless u installed any apps after that. If no joy hopefully one of the experienced devs could help you. Hope you get it sorted.

Tried taskiller aswell as that one damn..

You're not alone! I too suffer from obscene lag when texting at times (running MCR 3.1). I can type 6 or 7 words before the first is displayed and then watch them slowly appear. I also suffer from typing a word and it'll either be in all caps or the first few letters will be caps and the rest lower case. Oh and it can take forever and a day to actually open a message or flick between them with the widget.
I have two solutions when this happens to me, first off is reboot the phone, that quite often solves the issue, at least for a while. The second solution is to delete some messages. It seems the more messages you have, the slower the messaging app reacts. I deleted just over 1400 messages this morning and seem to have gone back up to full speed.
One other thing to note, if you are receiving / have just received or are sending / just sent a message, the app will be quite slow, or at least it is for me.
Florida.

tried deleting all the messages etc i think its the HTC_IME itself and not the messages... anyone know anything about that?

i encountered typing to be a little laggy, found that the phone is low on resources. something is running at background causing the usage to be 99% but i can't find any apps doing that (btw, im using smart monitor). typing also lag in ak notepad
when i go online, everything seems back normal. it seems that the phone is running some update or trying to... after going online, the lag is gone
the lag will happen again after every phone reboot

Any developers know anything ?

Anyone else having lag problems on the their Desire

Hey all,
I got my desire this morning, and i don't know if its just me, but everything takes a long time to load up e.g. time, weather, calendar, text messages, email apps.
Is anyone else having this problem, or should i return the phone.
Thanks for your help

i had a problem with the market on the first day. the market was very slow. after 1 day it is working as normal. maybe the phone need some time before everything is working fine

I think it depends on your perception of lag. I feel my device slows down momentarily sometimes when navigating through long lists and opening some applications as you mention. I thought at first it might be a problem with my device but have since had it replaced (because of dust under the screen not this) but I still notice it the same. I think I just expect everything to be instantaneous given the 1Ghz processor inside but to be honest it doesn't bother me and I imagine most people don't notice any slow down at all.
As an example, just now selecting the option to add the HTC Clock widget to the home screen there is a noticeable pause before it comes up with the options to choose widget style.
I would be interested in how quickly the Photos application loads for people though, it takes a good few seconds for me (around 4 seconds sometimes) to load the summary view with 'camera shots', 'all photos' links etc. I've replaced the memory card to an 8gb Sandisk Ultra as I thought the read speed of the original could be the cause, but it still takes the same time.
None of these things effect the usability of the device in practical terms though.

Market / Weather are possibly lagging due to Network speed rather than phone speed. They have to DL data to the phone.
Others like Email may be refreshing when opened causing lag.
My messages app (Handcent currently) only lags when I have many hundreds of messages saved. But it is noticably better than chomp at handling the same volume of messages.

I find the phone lags when it is installing stuff. And by lag I mean delayed responses to my input.
I also find that certain apps can load up and then cause the phone to stutter. I haven't found out exactly which apps but it's always solved with a soft reset - just turning the phone off and on. Either that or it's forcing the phone to store too much on the SD card.
Maybe I'll find the offending app when I have more time.

Random Restart

So far today, my Evo has reset itself about 4 times. That is within the past hour and a half. I've had it since Monday and had no other issues with it doing this until today. The only app that was added in the past 24hrs was the Wireless Tether for Root app. I don't know what or why this is happening. I've just uninstalled Unrevoked, Superuser Permissions, the Overclock Widget, and the Wireless Tether to see if that is causing the issues. Anyone else have anything similar to this happening?
Also, I changed the "always on mobile data" setting to off yesterday. That increased my battery life dramatically. I was able to leave the phone on for a solid 11hrs with it still having 60% charge left. Then today, before I changed any settings at all, unplugging the phone from the charger for about 2hrs has resulted me in being down to 45% battery. Could mobile data always on being off cause the rebooting issue?

Same thing was happening to me when I unchecked that. Checked it back and all rebooting issues went away.

Since I posted that message I had two more reboots. Just ticked always on mobile data back on and am waiting to see if that stops it...
EDIT: No more reboots since reenabling mobile data always on...weird

I've had the always on data feature turned off since day one to conserve battery life and i had not experienced the random shut offs until yesterday. Since yesterday however my phone has restarted itself no less than 20 times. Several times while I was sleeping so this is defiantly a real problem but I dont think its related to settings. ill be contacting HTC tonight

I have had always data off, ticked it on this morn. And started getting the reset issue...

Random restarts are often indicative of the battery not sitting in properly.
Remove the battery. Scratch up the contacts. Insert back firmly...

I am also having this same issue. I turned my phone off this morning because i wouldn't be using it and then i turned it back on in the afternoon and then my phone just started randomly restarting itself. There is no rhyme or reason to it. It has just been happening all by itself. It has probably happened 10 times in the last 4.5 hours.
I took the battery out for a minute and put it back in to see if it will stop the issue, but i'll have to wait and see. However, when i did turn the phone back on i got a weird pop-up message on the main screen that said something to the effect of, "Operational failure, please use su command." Then it faded away. Anyone know what that means?

As mentioned above, turning always-on mobile back on, took care of my restart issue.

I'm getting the same issue. At first i thought it was ATK, so i uninstalled that. Then I though it was lookout, so I disabled that. But it still keeps happening. I have mobile data off too, but for days, and it hasn't affected it one way or the other.
The odd thing is, I was running xiiLive Lite last night streaming the radio all night, and my phone stayed up the whole time, while plugged in (at least 8 hours).
I don't know what the deal is, but my phone goes about 24-48 hours without a spontaneous reboot, and then it will start doing it 4-6 times a day. Anyone have a good logging tool would be nice, as I'm somewhat new to Android.
Thanks!

I had mobile data off for a few days with no reset issues. Then I installed a few apps from the market (not the ones you mentioned) and then the resets started. I uninstalled the newest apps but the resets kept happening. Then I turned mobile data back on and no more resets in the last 24 hours.

my evo is randomly rebooting and I never modified the settings that some of you are talking about. My also gives me random issues where when i try to open an app it will open for a split second and close? I am also having my phone lock up on me several times a day and i have to pull the battery to reboot it! I took it back to the sprint store and they insisted on reloading the software on the phone and it made no difference.... does anyone have any suggestions or similar issues?

I had the apps closing after a split sec too but I found out that it was for apps that didn't play nice with the snapdragon cpu; like the Gameloft game Nova and a few of their other titles.

for me its stock apps like the navigator, video player etc. I am thinking i might have a defective unit.

Yup! That does sound strange! Did you root your phone? I'm rooted and all the stock apps that I've tried, seem to open and work fine.

nope! not rooted, 100% how it was out of the box. Luckily my pre was still active so i video taped it freezing up and stuff so im going to show the tech at the sprint store so hopefully they can order my replacement.

I also have a fully stock phone, some apps installed, but none recently, and yesterday it rebooted itself, twice more today.
I haven't changed the settings mentioned earlier, and haven't done anything I can think of that would cause the rebooting.
I am also having issues where I can't get an IP address on my wireless network, but I'm not sure it's related. I just noticed these 2 problems in the last 2 days, and it's the only thing I can think of that's out of the ordinary from the weeks prior to this happening.
I think I'll take it to Sprint tomorrow and see what they have to say.

Keep us updated on what happens. It seems to take a day or two for symptoms to start, but when they do it goes crazy rebooting!
...more discussion on this issue has been going on here too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=702379

I'm not a professional android user and don't know much about it yet, but mine's rebooted a few times as well. I haven't rooted my phone but the ONE thing that seemed to have resolved the continuing issue is doing a hard reboot:
Menu > Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset
It's been 4 days and hasn't rebooted since.
EDIT: It's been 6 days now and still no reboots.

Angry Apps Eating my RAM!
I think what everyone is missing here that maybe the root of the problem is low memory.
I'm not talking about storage on the SD card. I"m talking about the memory the OS has to run.
I've fought long and hard with this low memory problem seeing as I have owned a g1 for almost 2 years.
THERE IS NO REASON THE EVO SHOULD EVER GET DOWN TO UNDER 30MB OF SYSTEM RAM!
I equate this issue to the same issue many people had with Windows computers and applications that start up in the system tray! We don't need most apps to run in the back ground on start up just in case I want to use it. The few seconds of time it shaves off of starting up the app is not worth the slower OS boot up (applies to Windows mainly) or the major slow downs they cause the OS's to have.
I don't need Sprint TV running on boot!
When I used a clean slate scene I still have all of these same issues. Random reboots, slow OS and apps, ect.
I have no idea why Android would allow that much RAM to be used for background apps. I don't understand why we have no way to see what programs run on boot unless using a 3rd party app.
Most apps are so crappy that they run in the background all the time and have no way to toggle if they run on boot and I'm not talking about apps that modify something all the time I"m talking about apps that ONLY need to be running once you open them. An example would be Swipe, I understand the need for that app to run on boot. It modifies the OS keyboard and would need to be running in order to work correctly when ever you enter any text field that pops up the keyboard for input.
An example of programs that don't need to be running on boot or should at least give you an option to toggle boot start up are; Sprint Navigation, Sprint Updater (No idea what this is for), Updater (Android?), Sprint Zone, doubletwist, SprintTV Widget (I'm on the clean slate profile with NO Widgets), VoiceMail (I use Google Voice, is this needed?), Sprint Football Live (It's not even Football season!), MP3 Store (I have yet to use on the EVO but is running just in case, thx), as well as many others.
I have 35 apps running in the back ground! WTF? Thanks ****ty app devs and bloatware Sprint!
Have fun try to find options for each app and figuring out each service to know what it's tied to so that you can have a phone that it powerful and run smoothly.
It really shouldn't be this hard or as much of a pain...

This is where I am so lost with Android. I read many blogs saying Android does not need a task killer and using one will only make your system slow down. Well I tried one anyway because it's in my Windows Mobile nature to do so (old habits....). I noticed that I too had 35 or so apps running in the background and I thought that doesn't sound good, I wanna kill them all. But then what Android pros keep telling me is to let them be and that the OS will kill them as needed. But from what you're saying, it sounds like the OS doesn't always do a good enough job. So my confusion and learning process of Android continues......

Samsung apps: Task manager

See there's another new Samsung app... a task manager.
Have installed and it's pretty nice...

weird it's not showing up in America
are you on Euro ROM ?
i make it a daily habit of checking for new freebies from Samsung Apps

I discovered what I assume to be the samsung Task Manager when I flashed to JM5 /Samset 1.9e. The icon is a little computer tower with a pie chart next to it. Think it came wired into JM5, since its on my second app page WAY before anything that came in Samset.
Honestly speaking, I wouldn't trust it. Not because its a bad app or anything, but in my experience its clunky and slow and uses a lot more RAM than my other task manager, and it can only see actual apps, not services, and finally it doesn't show 'RAM Remaining' it just will tell you (234mb/326mb) which I find to be annoying. If I could get rid of this I would but I can't find its .APK.

They are talking about an update within the Samsung Apps application. Yes, every ROM does have the task manager but this is an update.
I don't understand why you find the RAM display annoying; it shows you how much RAM is not in use. Isn't that 'RAM Remaining' or am I not understanding something?
What do you find clunky about it? The interface seems simple enough and it seems to load everything instantly when ever I press a new tab. I wouldn't use the widget personally since you can just press 'Back' on your phone (multiple times) to exit an application and it won't appear in the task list while giving you your RAM back.

I have had to do 2 factory resets and I am sure it is down to the update for task manager (Android 2.2 firmware). It causes the phone to go into a continuous FC loop on startup just after the big S screen. Can anyone else confirm this on theirs as well please?

I'm honestly more interested in an app that kills all those damn Samsung auto started apps that I never use, but just hovers in the background taking up RAM.
Anyone know of such an app?

yup it was there, now it has been taken off it seems.

Yeah, in the UK... It's not showing in the Samsung Apps anymore but it's installed and seems to work ok, not had any issues since installing it.
After reading various articles on task killers and Android I've stopped using them anyway. Just find this useful for seeing how much space I've got for apps...

i think they figured out many people were complaining about it after the upgrade
possibly a bug that escaped QA

O.K. I have tested exhaustively and can confirm that on my unlocked UK SGS running Android 2.2 as installed via Kies this app 1.14 definitely is the cause of my problems. To reiterate. The phone works OK untill re-start at which point it gets to the big S logo gives a longish vibration and then after about twenty seconds gives two longing'ish vibrations the logo fades and the screen stays blank with the vibrations continuing every 20 seconds or so. I think it is called a "closed loop".
Reinstalled everything and completely set up the same way without this update and everything is perfect. Even have a stereo FM radio :-D

Thanks, I guess my phone did not come with that app (got the Vibrant from Tmo). I can download this app somewhere?

downloaded it yesterday
2.1 stock no probs so far

Mate, the issue is only on the Froyo beta that leaked about 3-4 days ago , so happens on 2.2 only ! IT relates to the pre-built task manager and its 1.1.14 (or whatever) update that appeared on Samsung apps.
I do confirm that IT causes issues sending the phone in continious FC loop, so DO NOT INSTALL IT !
I had to do hard reset last night after installing it. Phone worked great until I decided to reboot. Then it just sat on the "S" and in a few the screen went dark with the phone vibrating every 10-20 secs and touch keys lit.
See posts #5,#10 from Tehpriest - I had the same thingy going on last night and I know of two more ppl having the same

Yes I can cconfirm its deffo not for the 2.2 Froyo that appeared earlier.
I've been through the loop of flashing back to basics and restoring the SGS twice in 8 hours. Teach me not to read about stuff before I hit install.

Every Rom becomes slow after a few months?

I tried out both CM9 beta and AA only to reflash after a month due to performance issues with the rom, just things like opening up handcent, contacts etc the phone would often hang for half a second. I figured that ICS was just not meant for our hardware so I'm now running CM7.2 and after 2 months of solid use, the slowness is back. Is it my hardware that's stuffed or am I just getting impaitent?
It seems as soon as you flash the phone, it is super fast for the first few weeks then it just goes back to its old sluggish ways. Any one got any ideas? Or should I just wait another 2 months till my contract is up and replace my old girl.

You should reformat your storage to 4ext. Also, try wiping cache and app caches (for example maps, sms etc.) once in a while

On all phone I tried its the same thing.
on the moto milestone is the worst since its an old device. When I reflash a new rom, its really fast again.
It does it on SII and my DZ also.
Its like windows, more you use it, slower it will be.
GO SMS can take 5-6 second to come up. Fresh rom is instant.
On my DZ I tried to use it a maximum of time before it crash. After 300 hours without rebooting, the device was barely unusable. I cant take calls because it was so slow that I had time to miss it. I had a big delay between sound and vibration. Open opera takes around 20 seconds, etc.
And I love to keep my phone clean : no app running, no widget, no live wallpaper. I run sdmaid, and clean my cache often, but it didint help.

May be a app you are using causes this. App which eats up ram+swap etc. What are the apps you usually use.
and with most roms, its better to restart the phone every once in a while. I usually restart once every 2 days at least.

Thanks for the responses. I tried clearing the App data and it made a little difference at first but now it appears to be slow again, not always just at random times.
I don't use many apps, just Handcent for messaging, Contacts, Camera and Tapatalk. They all seem to hang when opening at random times.
I agree rebooting helps, usually when the slowness becomes too much I'll reboot and things will be a bit better for a day. I try to reboot at least once a week.
Hmmm I have an old iphone 3GS as my work phone, its older then my DZ and still performs better, which makes me think that this is a software issue rather then hardware.

Your phone is no different then using a computer. Reinstall an OS and you suddenly have a super fast computer. How well you can maintain that OS depends on how fast it degrades or if at all.

I use SDMAID pro it is great at cleaning up application files. It keeps things running smooth.

That would be EXT4
The system partition is formatted by the updater script on every system installation.

There is no reason for it to slow down, except possibly if you are installing something that slows it down. Might want to go through all your software and try to figure out what it is that is slowing you down.

Same problem, but after uninstalling some apps the system run like new flashed rom.
Is ext4 a big performance improvement?

4ext recovery control i believe allows the reformat to ext4
apps like Facebook or chrome may also slow your phone down

It's usually the apps you installed that causes the slowdown. I kept my phone clean, with only essential apps that I need to use and it's performed the same throughout the whole year.

hi
ive got the same problem, i have 4 droid z's, was using miui roms at first but when i get calls sometimes i cant pick em up, go sms takes 5-6 seconds easy. the lags r random and usually go away when i run memory booster. This lag free instance lasts for only like 10-20 seconds though. The problem is finding out which app is causing this sluggish behaviour... are there any apps which can help in tracing out which apps are averaging more memory?

apps that are "memory boosters" or "task killers" or whatever should almost never be used. more often than not they just bog things down more and end up doing the opposite they are supposed to. watchdog (found in the market) will help point to apps that are using your cpu, not just whats in ram. (most of the time it is best to let android kill tasks for you) you can also run a logcat to see what processes are going on in the background. a little google searching or using the search button in xda here will turn out loads of apps that are known for memory leaks and slowing down phones

ext4 may actually make performance worst if journalling is enabled as it is constantly reading/writing to your sd card. If you mount it without journalling then maybe it is better
