I've had many different problems with my Droid Incredible 2 lately. Im not sure if these are normal but my phone is far from fast anymore. its actually extremely laggy on the homescreen, switching from panel to panel takes a few seconds. Opening any app takes a good minute to finally launch, and what is very annoying is my messaging app. For example, i could have 3 new texts. I'll open my messaging app, and after about 30 seconds it will finally open, and i'll see my new texts appear and refresh after another short amount of time, then opening an individual conversation takes another small amount of time, then when i go back to my list of conversations, it still says theres a missed text from that person, and it could take a couple hours for it to refresh itself and display a sent text, and it been like this for a couple weeks now. About a week ago, i did a full factory reset, and i have absolutely zero widgets on my phone, uninstalled every application except for Facebook, i havent touched a single setting. What should i do?

Install that. I am sending you a PM with my email and you can send me your log. I will take a look at it and see if I can find what is causing your issues. I had a similar problem a while back. Don't worry, no personal information is collected in the log.
I forgot.. after you get that installed, go ahead and clear the log. restart your phone, go through the things that are causing you problems, and send it. As far as I can tell, this isnt a widespread problem.
I have serious lagging when I try to watch videos I recorded with the phone, after watching one vid its painfully slow to respond.
I haven't noticed any substantial unresponsiveness. I use LauncherPro for my homescreen, though, so I can't speak for Sense home experience. Everything seems pretty stable for me, so it's definitely not widespread.
I mean i can deal with the sense 2.1 being a little slow, but how slow and unresponsive the messaging app is really bugs me, and i dont get why lately, especially after a factory reset

Yeah, the messaging app is really becoming a PITA for me. I've changed all the storage settings and even after I delete all my messages, it's still laggy.

Try out gosms, I find it to be far superior to the stock messaging app
The only problem I have is that my gps isn't as accurate as it was on my Eris.

I've got one, and this is the only problem I've had with the phone . When I have a friend request from Facebook and I accept them it shows up in the fb app that I have but not friend stream . Any thoughts? I have 2 friends in fb that don't show updates in friend stream and I like the app just hate that u can't write on peoples walls so that's why I have both on there .lol

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 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.
Is anyone else getting mystery vibrations? I keep getting vibes when I have no change in network, no new messages or emails, no new reminders or missed appointments. Sometimes it is a brief buzz and sometimes it just won't stop unless I wake the phone up.
I've also turned off vibrate alerts in settings > sound. This is driving me nutzo... last night it started vibrating and I let it go to see if it would stop. 2 minutes later it was still going.
It isn't just with one ROM either... It happened with the "Lite Leak" , Virtuous and Cyano6 roms also but never before I went Froyo. Anyone else getting similar vibes?
Don't mean to sound like a jerk, but are you sure it's really vibrating?
Lot's of people think they feel phantom vibrations.....
Google it, it's kinda funny reading

No, it is really vibrating...it woke me up rattling on my surf board the other night. Since I posted this is went off at 1:50 (short) then every half hour 2:20, 2:50, 3:20, 3:50 with the long vibrations where it WILL NOT stop unless I wake the phone up.
I think it is due to a problem with my contacts. When I saw the schedule on which it was happening I figured it must be a sync issue... Sure enough, "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." Bull crap!
So far I've backed up my contacts from gmail, deleted the contacts. Cleared them out of my contacts app data, reimported them into gmail and allowed a successful sync. Great, I thought...then a half hour later BZZZZZZZ
OK, next shot. manually edited my google.csv to clear any formatting under the NOTES column that said
!----HTC DO NOT EDIT ---
as this was only on people who I once associated with Facebook, and I am no longer subscribed to facebook and reimported, cleared Contact Data and resynced...So far, so good... But I am not so sure it will last longer than an hour.
Looks like killing the farce book tags from my contacts fixed it. No problems syncing and....so far.... no annoying vibraa-a-a-a-ations!

Um hello! Surf Board -> Beach Boys -> Good Vibrations
What else did you expect?!
ever since the google voice update, with the widgets. Whenever I boot google voice the phone locks up for at least a minute before allowing me to click a message thread, then. When I load the message thread it locks up again for awhile before I can finally type the message. Exiting out causes the phone to lag a little bit on the homescreen. Any suggestions or others with the problem?
How large are your sms threads? It has been not breaking them up as frequently (or at all sometimes) as before, once they get above 300 or so for me the lag gets worse.
On the other hand, I've had it lag on occasion unrelated to that issue as well. I don't launch voice from the widget anymore, seems to usually lag more than if I just launch app from regular icon. Don't know why that would be.
Since installing the new version of voice it has been doing this to be all the time. Very annoying but I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I erased all my messaging thread except two and it still lags. Both threads were 15 messages in size
I've experienced this too. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it seems to be a little better.
So randomly my phone will be really glitchy and i don't know why. It's kind of tough to explain, but its like an extra set of hands (not mine) is touching the screen. For example i'll be in the middle of typing a word in sms and it's as if someone clicked on the screen so it stopped in the middle. Or it'll go from my keyboard typing screen to the conversation and then to select which messages to delete. It starts randomly vibrating like it does when the screen is being touched when i'm not touching it. It's really annoying cause it seems to always happen when i need to be having a serious convo lol! it'll just start vibing like crazy and then exit sms go to my apps or just open up the convo and then somehow scroll all the way up to the top! and just random **** like that. it's so annoyinggg someone helpp meeeeeee
Task Killers, Non oem chargers, and/or not doing a factory reset after the gingerbread ota will cause this possibly. You can also try clearing cache for messaging.

What's your OS.stock no stock,what's running in the background.
did you hard reset after update like above person said

Try recalibrating it, if that doesn't work then i'm afraid you'll have to factory reset it.
sorry for the late response thanks for all you're help so far.
i'm running RMK's gingersense. i did a full wipe after installing it and updating it. i did have a lot of text messages so i changed the setting to auto delete after 100 and i stopped using task killer. it looks like its helping it hasn't occured since. thanks for all you're help guys. i just remembered that the battery would get really hot when it would glitch so maybe i just had too many messages for it to handle. thanks guys!!!
This started happening pretty much immediately since I installed the 4.4.3 update late July, and has just gotten worse.
For a single one of my contacts, the SMS app lags HORRIBLY whenever I am doing anything with said person. It takes about half a minute just to load when I click his name, and the phone keeps completely freezing for up to 10-15 seconds EACH letter I type! It's not just the SMS app itself, but even the keyboard freezes up and is unresponsive. I can keep typing and it will apparently actually record the next 30 or so taps and just blaze through them ... then lag for another half minute or so again. None of the settings (how little there are) have had any effect. Once I click send the message also takes a bit before it appears and starts to send. Any action with this contact open in the SMS app seems to lag my phone like a unusable nightmare.
Since this is the person I tend to text the most, I have been tempted to crush the phone in my hand at this point. It is ONLY happening with them, and ONLY after the 4.4.3 update. It's not consistent either; I was still having this issue earlier today, but right now as I wanted to text him again it was working perfectly lag-free.
I know the first response anyone is going to say is to wipe my phone, but with this being the only issue I have, I really do not want to completely obliterate everything and start over from scratch just to fix one person in my SMS app. On top of that, I want to keep my SMS texting history as well. (Plus I would have no idea if restoring a backup wouldn't also restore the issue).
Has anyone else encountered or heard of anything like this? Or has any ideas of anything OTHER than wiping the phone or my SMS history I can try? Considering the app only pre-loads the last 10 or so messages when you open a contact anyway, I highly doubt it's my history. I am going nuts with this stupid thing.
It is probably something in that message thread.
Deleting all messages from that person will surely fix it, based on what you've said.
You can try wiping the messaging apps cache. Other than that, I think you're stuck.
Second the opinion above. If it's only one message thread doing it, seems likely it's something unique to that thread. Too many messages, pics, etc. I used to use Titanium Backup to save messages between rom flashes, back when I cared about them, so a backup app can save the messages, let you delete the thread and see if it still happens with a blank slate.
