[Q] Froyo 2.2 SMS Lagging Issues?

Tried looking for another thread and didn't find one..maybe it's just my phone..
But has anyone else noticed a significant lag;
-Switching from one text conversation to another
-The Please Wait sending stays on longer than it used to etc
I'm rooted, nand unlocked, running stock 2.2 rooted, deodexed.

I've noticed the same thing. It seems to almost be worse than it was before. I hope they fix these annoyances.
Also does anyone notice that sometimes when you select a text message in the list that it will actually select a text at the bottom of the screen instead?

I had these problems on .3 but once I got the RUU for .6 the problems disappeared. Factory reset?

Yes, this is true - but it's not unbearable. In fact, it's a lot less long than an iPhone 3G just loading the main SMS app. Like.. a LOT less long.

I have this same problem. I am using handcent and it will lag every once in a while for no reason.

Agreed. Mine lags pretty bad too. Especially when typing. I think I'm gonna factory reset.

No need for apologies! I didn't get a solution!
My thread focused on the screen being mis-calibrated when selecting an SMS about an inch from the top of the device.
It SO annoying.

Lord, yes! I had to reset to the 2.1 ruu in order to download the update. Since 2.2 my sms is ferociously slow. If I'm writing a text and one is received my keyboard will freeze for a few seconds as well. Hand cent is better than stock with this, but far from how it was prior to the upgrade.

You know my friend had the same issue. He had to do a hard reset (wipe) and then it was all fixed.

By hard reset/wipe do you mean wiping all caches, then reflashing rom? I'm using a rooted stock froyo rom for the evo. Thank you for the help.

keyboard not working at times?

seems like everytime I open a text message and go to respond, the keys dont work. I can feel the haptic feedback but no text is entered. I have to exit the app and reenter.. Its not only in Messages, but all apps. Other buttons on the screen seem to work, but the buttons do not.
anyone else been noticing this?

Yup!
I've noticed it most typing in the text box of forums... though it is inconsistent.

Yeah mine does that too and it takes a few seconds to get out of the loop then it can type again. Kinda weird wonder if any fix to this.

Keyboard Issues
+1 to this issue
One exception: My keyboard is typing but it doesn't visually show what I'm typing. When I close the keyboard and reopen it the words I typed then show, but nothing typed further will show unless I close the keyboard and reopen it again.......Again this issue is inconsistent.
I've only had this issue since the 2.2 update.
Anyone got a fix yet?

is anyone running the Overclock widget? It seems like once the message pops up "overclock widget has been granted superuser permissions" everything returns to normal... until I go to respond again ahhhhh

i have the same problem i was wondering if anyone knows how to fix it i thought my phone was goin bad really quickly because i like just got it a couple weeks ago but i dont know what the deal is
if i goto messages i can press all the keys and nothin comes up and if i go to landscape the box is gray and i feel it has to kick in later
another problem i have been having is when i click on to call someone itll call them like 20 seconds later instead of immediately anyone else get this problem too?

i find that if I turn the phone into landscape mode, click the bubble, then turn the phone right side up again.. It works... seems more like a software bug then anything.. or something to do with the sensors.

My friend's Evo running stock FroYo has had this problem. I haven't seen it, but I am running a custom rom. I wonder if that makes a difference.

Have u guys tried a different keyboard? Like the Droid x keyboard?

I'm on fresh too and I notice this bug. Only in messages though.

I'm running stock froyo and this happens quite often to me as well. If I wait a few seconds after I notice nothing typing on my screen it will eventually catch up and let me type normally again. This happens daily.

[APP] Words with friends

Out now in the market, but has major issues right off the bat, notably no sound or notification settings. Sort of ridiculous to launch without those!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

The lack of notifications kind of sucks. Been playing it and aside from those, there doesn't seem to be any other bugs.
I do get a visual notification in the status bar but without audio, its a pain.

It keeps giving me a force close error. Anyone have any idea why? ive uninstalled plenty times, and even cleared the data. problem persists.

Email the dev

After using it for the past few days, I do get FC's on a fairly regular basis. Not so much that it makes it unusable, but definitely enough to make it annoying.
I've read some other threads and this is one of the 'bugs' that needs to be ironed out. Hopefully they have an update for these bugs soon.

It'll get updates,don't worry.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

The first time I installed it was plagued with all kinds of crazy stupid bugs and connection errors.
I uninstalled and reinstalled, and notifications etc. are working so far. Haven't used it a ton yet.
I can say that so far the UI etc. really isn't very good. and FULL PAGE ADS after every turn? extremely annoying. Considering how annoying they make it with ads, im surprised theres no paid version too...

I'm sure there will be updates. Question is when. Did take them a while to get the game out on Android.
I read on their website that a pay version without all the ads will be available in the future as well.

Update now available via the market...
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

Update fixed many issues with closes and errors, and gave options menu for sounds and notifications.
My current issues are:
1) Even when phone is on silent, the game sounds still play
2) I'm seeing some pretty serious battery drain issues since installing the game, even though I have the notifications push at 30 minutes. I've used other scrabble-type games for a long time with constant push notifications and never had battery drain like this. I feel like the crazy amount of ads really wastes lots of battery.

The update has definitely brought on some improvements but there is still a ways to go.
I still do not get any audio notifications. The visual popup works in the status bar but nothing audible. (Yes sounds are checked in settings and volume on device, both ringer and media is up)
I'm not getting as many FC's as I was before, but that doesn't say much as they were all too common at launch.
I have also noticed the battery drain. Not sure what exactly is causing it. Over the last three days my game play has been about the same. Day 1 drain was very bad. Day 2, it was normal. Day 3, very bad again. We will see what today brings...

maybe i'm missing something. I can't get this thing to stay open at ALL. it always FC's on me before I can even do anything. I've tried on both CM6 and CM7.
Any ideas? I've emailed the devs twice.

Seems like a mixed bag for everyone. I'm sure they've gotten 10's of thousands of e-mails. Gonna be a while before its stable gotta just wait it out.

I can get audio notifications when it pops into the status bar, only it doesn't seem to be effected by the sound status of my phone, so I just turned it off for now.
I have also noticed battery drain. I've been making maybe 20-30 plays per day maximum over a few games and my battery is just tanking. Words with Friends shows up in my battery status chart as 3%-5% of battery (which in itself is bad that its actually a quantifiable amount of battery drain), but I know its gotta be draining more, even with notifications on a 30min timer. I've been using WordSmith (very similar) for a few weeks now with push notifications and way more plays with no effect on my battery life so this is a Words with Friends issue.
I should also note that the last few times I've opened the app, something regarding the banner ad at the bottom of the page crashes, and blankets the whole screen with an HTML error. Sometimes it disappears and the ad blanks out, but other times I can't do anything about it. I don't think this is related to running the adFree Android app, but who knows with the level this app is running right now.

So you think it has something to do with adFree? I'm not sure about that as it works sometimes and not others, and it used to work fine before the update and now it doesn't. Cuz sometimes WWF will load just fine with a black bar at the bottom (per usual when u have adFree installed) and I can use it fine. But i'd say about 2/3 the time I get the full-screen HTML ad error. I haven't seen this happen in any other app ever and I've had adFree for several months now. Really weird.
Decided to just uninstall. Really not worth the hassle.
Noticed instantly after uninstall my battery stopped draining. Hope they fix the issues.

I had the same problem. What I did to fix it was to go into AdFree, and hit the "Revert" button, and that seemed to fix the weird HTML errors. Hope this helps!

Adfree was causing issues for me to, I had to revert my host file and reboot for it to work again.

Is it just me or is does this app rape the battery 8/

that's lame! I'm noticing more and more apps using the same kind of ads that wwf uses, so I hope AdFree gets an update .. =/ i hate having ads

[Q] Auto resending random old text messages

i did an task 29 on my phone, flashed the 4.49.25.17 radio (also tried different radio's, did not make any difference), and then flashed the latest simplicity rom.
as the the title says, my friends are complaining about getting random old messages i already had send them before.
for exaplme: this morning my girlfriend said: how can it rain there its the sky is clear here.. i asked wtf? i never said its raining here, so then she said i sended that to her
then i looked into my sent items, i saw nothing but i can remember sending 4 days ago something like that, so what my phone did was resend an message from 4 days ago.
and this happend with every other rom so far.
I can't re-create the problem because i dont know what i causing it.. and its also just random messages.
I do know that, people only get resended messages i have send to them before, so for example, my girlfriend does not recieve any old messages i have sended to someone else.
But as you can all guess, this is kinda anyoing and i was wondering if any one else is having this problem?
btw. i tried running frx06 with success and i dont have the text message problem on there, so i can assume its an problem in windows mobile?

bump? its really anyoing lolz

I've had this problem b4 when switching between WM and android????????
I wish that I could help more but I don't know of a fix Sorry

Try checking your outbox/sent items and delete the message or resotre to factory defaults to fix the problem.
Had the same problem before.

nope, its not fixed, my friend got yesterday 2 old messages again..
btw. it happend while i was writing an text, and i pressed the "FN" button to get the "<" symbol (i was making an heart lol)
but when i pressed the FN button, the symbol screen did not popped up but instead the message list (in threading) scrolled up a couple messages.. right after that she said that she got some old messages from me..
is this maybe the cause for it? the not correct loading of the symbol screen that causes message resending..
it btw. happend before that the symbol screen would not load (never made an problem of it) but now come to think of it, i think those times they also complained about getting old messages.
This "second" problem of the not loading of the symbol screen happens randomly, when it fails to load i just exit the message screen and open up the message screen again and then the symbol screen just loads fine.
(sorry for my bad language, its not native =] )
hope this clears some things up..

Hmmm, never had this happen to me before, except the old messages part. I would wipe the system to start fresh, that should work. Backup anything you need.
I also have a problem with the FN button, it shows up but when I choose a character, it doesn't appear in the text screen.
That's why I perfer android on this phone lol.

Ah, wait I think there's an option in the messaging app in winmo saying clear sms/account or something like. But try that ?
Battery life is good for me 7 hours full use, try wistilt 2 kernel. My camera works but rarely use it.

[Q] How do you turn off screen wake from texts?

I just noticed this recently, whenever I receive a text, the screen wakes from it. Does anyone know of a way to disable this? I looked all over, can't find a setting for this.
Stock, unrooted (not rooted).
edit: would like to avoid using apps (i.e. go sms, handaccent)

I believe it's built into the framework of the rom. You could try using a third party or android stock sms app and deleting the samsung one, but you'd have to be rooted, and it may cause issues. I use google voice for my texts so I dont have any screen wakes for texts.

thanks for the reply, but i would like to avoid using a msging app, if at all possible.

i dont' know what you mean, my screen doesn't wake when i get a text or email?

Really? Does anyone else have this problem or know what I am talking about?
Are you using the stock messaging app? Are you running stock, unrooted? These are my circumstances, if it makes a difference.

Yea I have the same issue (or functionality not sure which) but I know if you root there are mods/roms to turn that off. I have not tried any though. Good luck and I would be interested in your resolution.

I'm stock and not rooted and my screen only comes on when I receive a text. Not on email.
Thank goodness I don't mind my screen turning on for text or it would annoy the crap out of me.

Actually you are correct, screen wakes only from receiving Texts, but still rather annoying nonetheless. I'm kind of getting use to it by now though.
