Hello all been a min since I've posted last, but here goes. My text messaging is the only "app" that lags when I use it. Every other app is running fine and is smooth to navigate through. When I goto text someone it starts lagging and is behind quite abit. Itl take sometimes 5 6 seconds to type the word I just swiped. It is the stock messaging app and I have already ran it into safe mode. It does not lag nearly as much there and is pretty fluent. I can only assume its a bad app or something but idk what it could be. I'm rooted stock and every mod I have came from drippler like the multi tasking so I can have every app in the multi tasker, I have xposed frame work titanium back up, Nova launcher and some others. Whats my best hing to do here?

You might have too many messages. Try deleting messages.

try backing up the data for your messaging app with TiBu then going into your system settings and clearing the data for your messaging app. how long have you had the issue. was it like that when you bought it? after you rooted it? after using some of drippler's tweaks?
always post as much info as possible when asking for help.
Thanks guys and no its has just been happening in the last 2 months maybe 3 it wasn't doing it after I rooted, I slowly started to notice the decline in performance after a couple of the tweaks from drippler. I've uninstalled a few apps and cleared cache but not for messaging. I need to back the data up like you said. Ill try that. it will not delete my txts I have saved will it? They are very very important to me and can be used in court so its that kind of importance lol. Ole baby momma drama. Thanks again guys. This forum s always so helpful.

Several times I have edited my app drawer order, grouping apps by type on each page (a page for games, a page for internet stuff, a page for utilities, etc.), creating folders, etc. Then I hit Menu > Save, and everything is fine, until I reboot my phone. Then it loses the app order, and a few apps get seemingly randomly moved to their own pages, so the total number of pages grows from about 5 to upwards of 8 or 9. It seems like the most recently added apps get moved, but not always. I move them all back how they should be, but they only stay until a reboot.
Anyone else have this happen? Or better, found out why? Or even better, how to make them stay?
Really? Does nobody sort their apps? Or nobody has had this problem?

I don't sort them in the App Drawer. I leave them arranged alphabetically grid or list. I do arrange the ones I most often use somewhere on the 7 Home Screens though.
They will not stay. It is an annoying problem. I use folders now to group my apps. And I have my apps sorted to stop the spacing issue.

Still happening on Starburst ROM 1.5, so the problem it's with TouchWiz and is not ROM-specific.
I made a backup of TWLauncher with Titanium, so when my drawer gets really messed up I restore data from the backup (killing the running process) and it does restore my app layout as it was when I made the backup. Not a solution, but a lot quicker than re-sorting 50 apps. If only I could figure out how to trigger a save of the layout...it seems to just do it occasionally and I can't figure out what triggers it (certainly not when the Save button gets pressed...as if that makes sense).
Had anyone replicated this issue on TouchWiz 3.5? (or is it 4.0... whatever the flashable one is that's newer than what ships with the device).
I know what u mean but for me its all good after i fix it a second time untill i change then itll revert to just before i changed
It only happened to me on 4.5 thiugh
Good thing actual tw4 launcher doesnt have that problem

Yes, it's a problem with TouchWiz - I can replicate this behaviour on my S2, factory 2.3.5 ROM without root

Bummer. Guess we have to wait for an official update to get an updated launcher.
are you saving the changes ?
You have to make your changes then hit menu again and save changes.
otherwise they don't stick.
after clicking save don't press anything for 30 secs or so
that seems to do it for me
if i save and immediatly go back it doesn't save

Okay, I'll do some organizing and give that a try.
hi all,
after updating my galaxy s2 from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 with kies, i had the same problem about sorting applications page.
i didnt reset my phone before or after updating with kies. first i tought that i might be about this. i was looking for a solution and i read these posts. without resetting my phone i just tried to delete files of TW Launcher.
Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All(tab)
find and tap "TW Launcer"
tap "Clear data" button.
after that my home screen and applications screen look default.
applications screen sorted alphabetical.
i customized my home and app screen again and till now didnt change anyting, i mean didnt forget the layout of apps.
i wanted to share this little unprofessional solution with you =)
if there is a better way i want to learn.
finally i have a question, after updating to 2.3.5, when i tap contacts, it opens slowly, after 1 or 1.5 seconds lag(black screen) it opens. but not always. it happens just sometimes.
do you have the same behaviour?
sory for my english. looking forward to see your answers or comments.
i tried and there is no problem anymore

14th post,
see my firs post
I'm really surprised I haven't seen more people complaining about it but I guess most are not running TouchWiz.
To re-explain the problem I'm having..
You arrange all the applications in different panels the way you want (after you hit "applications" not the home screen panels)
After turning the phone off and on again Or plugging it in to the computer via USB and removing it, all the applications are a mess again. Not the way you arranged them and there doesn't seem to be any logic behind it.
It's not just the way they were the last time you turned the phone off or the last time you plugged in the USB cable.
I also thought having folders in an earlier panel may be causing later panels apps to get bumped around but I've tried it with the folders in the last panel and I get the same randomness.

Hey guys is there any fix for the sms app lag? when openin the thread it lags and when exiting.
Please note I have around 10 thousand sms but on my old Galaxy S2 I never had this problem so I am also running BAMF 4.0.4 and it was working super when I backed up my 7k texts and then it started to little slow which is kind of annoying now.
Any tips on how to make it the way it was? its only 3k difference and I bet this device can handle 100k or more with no issues
I'm going to throw this out there, I know this is a wildly crazy idea, but just delete a few?
Ten thousand SMS's? Do you seriously need ten thousand?
i pretty much delete all messages every 2 months or so.. having too much does lag a bit time to time
cuz i text a lot.. every month i send at least 8000. so in total i will have 16k messages in the app each month (including receive).

Now my question to you is, does it lag like it does for patt2k?
There's no reason to have that many messages. Not to tell you how to live your life, but it sounds like you need to get one outside of texting. If you seriously can't deal with losing all the messages, use a program like SMS Backup+ (free program, backs it up to your gmail.) Otherwise, lock the ones you want to keep and let the app auto-delete like it should.

Oh I do call and text quite a lot just like the other guy said he texts around 16k sometimes I have the same amount. I see no reason to delete the messeges , but it seems to be little faster with GO SMS
now another thing could the large amount of texts cause the unlock screen lag? like when I unlock and you can see the circle you move to the unlock it like lags for 2-3 seconds. Thanks guys
EDIT: just set to delete each 500 texts and the sms app still lags... the STOCK one would backing up in recovery then wiping everything and restoring help? any ideas? thanks again

Yes the SMS threads lag a bit, more like choppy. Nothing we can do about it, maybe Google could tweak it with an update.
Even trying other apps like handcent, the lag is still there. Oh well.

I've always experienced this choppy scrolling with text threads with only 100 or so messages. Its not you, but you could try to delete some. I don't think that will change things though.
There's a picture of a blue cog wheel flashing in the top right corner everytime I press the power button and view my home screen. Anyone have this issue?
Also, does anyone else have the bug where you try to open a thread (texting) and it just goes back to your page of contacts like 5 times before you can view your thread?
Here are the solutions!

Have you rooted your phone? It has not happened to anyone in this world in Stock ROM.
Look, the Amazing Spiderman 3D Live Wallpaper has a sign in the top right corner when we switch between homescreens. So, I think it might be something with the wallpaper you're using..
OR
It may be some app you downloaded that runs all the time (like a battery saver app) which shows some sort of sign when the screen is turned On and the phone is Awake.

Yes, it happened to me. Not 5 times, but I must say that the Stock Messages app is bad! Very, Very, Very bad!
It'll go away by itself.. At least now it doesn't happen with me... Actually its because HTC One V hasn't loaded all the threads and we command it to open a thread. So, after 1 second when all the threads (the whole messages app is loaded) it takes us back to show the full messages app loaded.
Ah great explanation, thanks man. Any new messaging apps that you would recommend? The phone is actually my mothers with that issue that has been not sending texts at random intervals and wanting htc error reports as well. It has a 3d wallpaper, not rooted and I don't think either of those have to do with the wheel. It's pretty much stock.
Here you are! Messages app- SOLVED !

No. I won't recommend any 'cause I've never seen any! Also, it's not needed! You know... My memory RAM was too low (always 30-40MB free). But when I uninstalled many apps that I never used, with the phone getting faster, the messages app has also got smoother. :laugh:
Now why did this affect the Messages app? --Because I uninstalled apps that took a lot of RAM, my RAM got released much after they got uninstalled. Now I have 70-80MB of RAM free and indirectly this helps the Messages app by allowing it to take RAM and store cache. Now I dont have any problem with Messages app..
Perform the following steps-
Clear the data and cache in Settings-Apps-Messages.
Open the messages app and use it.
Go to Settings-Apps.
Under the Running tab, gently tap on the green area at the bottom right (which indicates your free RAM).
The Running tab will then show the cached processes.
The more the memory is used by the Messages app, the more it gets smoother.
If no memory is used, let me and eveeyone on XDA know.

Is anyone else noticing that their keyboard hangs up a lot? The most frequent occurrence is when I'm attempting to send a text or open the keyboard to enter text in the Google widget; there is a noticeable delay before the keyboard pops up. Doesn't happen all the time, but more frequently then I would like.

Yeah, I'm using SwiftKey and still have the problem. Maybe it's just something with my system overall that's causing lag sometimes :/ I mean there are times where I try to send a text and it takes like 5 minutes because the whole phone just seems like it doesn't want to respond. I noticed the problems after the last system update, things didn't seem to run as smoothly. Then I rooted and installed that 4cyl Turbo Booster kit and it seemed to speed up quite a bit but it's back to being laggy now.

If you did the OTA and didn't do a clean install, I'd suggest doing a fresh install or at the very least a factory reset to clean all the user added junk out and start fresh. Also wipe cache and dalvik and see if you're still getting the lag. Sounds like you got some orphan data in there somewhere.

key board lag fix
I had the same annoying problem. I just found an easy fix though. Just clear the cache on the Swype keyboard. Go to settings application manager all apps scroll down to Swype and clear cache. It's only been a few minutes but I've tested every message thread I have as well as the browser and the keyboard comes up instantly now. Will update off anything changes later on.
Yes Bad lagg right now..
I use the Swype keyboard and I get this once in a while as well, not sure why. I've tried resetting the words that have been saved overtime as well, but never seem to find a way to reset them from every keyboard so I have mistake words like 'sui' show up when I really mean 'so' and I can't stand it. Short of completely restarting the battery to scratch and having to reroot the stock ROM again, I'm not sure what else to do but deal with it.
Was using Swype beta and there was occasional lag but I upgraded to the final version in the market and I haven't had any problems yet.
Never had a non-rooted Android until now (Note 2, 3, 4) and the lag is insane for me. I use Greenify and have it killing nearly everything that is non-essential. I only have GPS, WiFi, basic SPan, and Sync enabled, none of the other stuff. I'll reboot every day or two. I close out apps when I'm done using them, etc. There isn't anything super obvious I'm doing to increase lag. But it's there. Even Contacts force closes every few days. Hangouts does not play nice with Swype. Just to pull up the phone log takes a long time. Any advice or should I just reflash stock to see if that helps?
Thanks, and if you haven't pledged to the root bounty, please do! Let's get this thing solved!

I use Nova as well and my Note is fairly snappy. I have found that every so often an app will either kill battery or slow the UI down.
There are lots of things that can be causing it so I'm on sure if there's a quick fix without really k owing more of your setup. (what's installed, art/davlik, developer settings, etc.)
I personally don't use greenify on a no rooted device cause I couldn't get it to automatically work. What I did do, and it seems to have helped greatly is to block/disable a bunch of bloat with the program at the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2998294
Works great and leaves everything in place so OTA updates still work.
