[Q] Writing SMS with swype goes slow - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there
I have a lil question.
Since a few days I use Swype (Version 3.9.10.10.5032 Blackbird)
It's a great way to type very fast, and I love it!
There is only one problem, when I want to write a SMS, then I can use Swype, but my text doesn't appear in the screen yet, but it comes a few seconds later.
In my opinion, the cause is that it have to load in all the textmessages I had with the person I want to write to.
Because when I removed all the messages, then I can write without any problems, but when there are already some textmessages above, then the problem appears.
Does anyone have a solution for this?
Do I need a different version of Swype?
Thanks in advance!
Greetz,
Joshoon

I use Swype Version 2.0.

Thanks for you reply
I made the changes to my settings as you said.
This solves the problem? have you experienced that by yourself too?
and what does the 'Operations' slider actually do?
I cannot test if it works right now, because I need to get some more text messages again, because I removed them all yesterday because of this problem.

This will make the Swype response time faster.Honestly I myself dont have any lag problem despite having many SMS loaded.
Im using the original Swype Samsung Omnia II V.2 and I am happy with it, been using it all the time, however there are many who think that the interface is not so nice.

The interface of Swype? I like that one a lot!
Anyways, my text messages count will increase slowely coming days, so maybe then I can see if the setting helped me.

Thats the thing, v2.0 is fast but the newer v3.9 (which is really built for our phones as it comes from the US HD2) is slower. In theory you would assume this be faster. Besides looking much better with newer features like haptic feedback, multiple deleting capability etc, it simply has a long lag when many SMS's are present.
If you reply via traditional mode its a workaround as it doesnt load all the SMS's however its not a true fix.
Like youself, i couldnt stand the lag anymore, reverted back to v2.0 and its much faster. If i could be bothered there are skins out there like Lessro's and Baly's which make it appear alot better if you like.

Ok thanks!
If 3.9 doesnt work as I want, then I will give 2.0 a try.
First I need some more text messages again

Instructions:
Before you flash you MUST be unlocked. I do not support the unlock process or the software but I can tell you if you follow the instructions at the link it works perfect!
Link to unlocker is here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42503
Download ROM and extract to desktop using WinRAR. Start the ROM Upgrade Utility and follow instructions. Flashes just like any other phone or ROM. Flashing will destroy ALL data on phone. Always sync with ActiveSync before starting the upgrade utility OR place your phone in bootloader mode (Power, VolDown, and reset)
A call to *228 or *22899 (automated activation line) WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE NORMAL USAGE!

Some quick screenshots of apps and home screen.
You will note I added all my extra apps in Sensor Apps and Utilities keeping the Programs folder a little cleaner. You can also see that I mapped Contacts (iContacts to be exact) to the left softkey when on the home page. Thats a must have for me becuase I dont use the contacts tab.
Flashed and running nicely, seems off the bat more the smoothest to date, haven't yet done much customization but from just walking through it, it seems to me that it is actually reclaiming ram from closed apps a bit better, but could just be that new rom feel Did you happen to add the htc update to this one by any chance or will i still need to install that?, all in all impressive as usual. Thanks for your hard work and mad kudo's.
Don't you sleep?
I will be trying the ROM either later today or tomorrow.
I look forward to reporting nothing but AWESOMEness back.
Awesome man, we all really appreciate your hard work. Havent tried out your new Rom yet, still pleased with your Rev 1 . Do look forward to the screenshots though, sounds tempting.
Nice rom! Thanks for supporting VZW TP!
can someone link me the stock vzw rom...not the prerelease that i found on ppcgeeks sticky page, i plan on exchanging vzw tp and receive a replacement due to hardware issue so would like official release. Thanks. I already searched as well...might have missed it tho.
I just put your rom on and love it! I have been installing everything you are putting out. My memory usage was exactly the same as yours. One issue I am trying to figure out is vznav is not working. It was working for me in your previous build but not this one. The error I am getting is that "there was a problem initializing the GPS. Please exit and restart vz navigator."
Any ideas? I set the location to on, I have checked my account and I have vz nav with verizon.
Thanks,
Mike
Very wierd, I just kept trying over and over and finally it started working. I did try starting it at least 10 times. Now it works. Wierd. oh well at least it works again.

That happens when you first instawll and launch it. Typical. Takes me three times and I am good ;c) Has done that on the stock ROM for me as well as my own cooked ROMS. After it initializes and sets itself up its good from then on.
Glad it's running though. Would sound stupid calling the VZNav ROM if VZ Nav didint work! hahahahaha

That is the stock ROM. I now it says pre-relewase but its the same verision that came on the phone. I looked at this very closely before I flashed for the first time. Trust me, you can use that to send the phone back. Many people already have.

It should be a little bit faster. Not a placebo affect if that is what you think. I added some of my tweaks and some tweaks from all over th enet. Nothing major... Just things like glyphe cache, services, etc. I also bumped up the touch sensitivity just a hair. That alone makes the phone feel 10 times faster. A little here and there is all it takes on this phone. Its has soo much potential.
Hey Scott,
Do you have something against the state of Washington?
j/k - FYI Weather tab Washington shows blank for all cities. Not that I live there,... but since it's usually raining in Seattle I like to have that city on there for the graphics of the windshield wiper.
Great ROM - not a huge fan of iContacts, but that's probably just because I haven't used it too much.
When I first powered up - it seemed very jittery and laggy,... but now - after I installed my core apps, it acts much better. I performed NO additional tweaks or anything - just rebooted after restoring all my data and logs.
Did notice that SMS sent notification is BACK,... I have to go find that registry edit and take that out again (very annoying). And Opera is not the default browser (I actually prefer that) but I didn't know if that was intentional or just happened? PIE seems to load so much faster when clicking a link in e-mail,... but Opera has all those neat features.
I like the new look with the new icons and the flip clock! Thanks for that!
Keep up the great work - truly do appreciate it!!
Thanks for that info Scrosler!

I hate the state of washington. No just kidding! I dont know why it did that. I used the same weather database I used in my last ROM. i will look at it tonight.
The reason it seems slow and laggy on first boot is because it is. I dont know if it was a good idea to have TouchFlow launch during first boot and autoinstall but i did.... Heheh... but like you said, after that it is fine. The lag isnt very bad as long as you wait for everything to load first. Thats my biggest challange. Getting the boot time down. Not sure how to make that great yet.....
The flip clock is indeed nice ;c)
Sorry you are not a big fan of iContact. I think I have tried every contact app and liked this one best. I will post the kitchen sometime this weekend and you can always cook one without it. I also need mod my site to include the link to the VC ROM. I will do that tonight. I know alot of peeps use VC but I hate it. Never ever recognizes my voice for anything at all. I dont get it.
Thanks for the feedback and I am glad you are enjoying it!

Cool, here is the cab that I OEM'ed. I dont know how I left that out... My bad!
I also included a cab for Start Clean. This erases your recently used programs from start menu everytime you boot. I love it. I hate the MRU set up.
Would someone with the new rom post some screenshots?

Sleep? WTF is that? No just kidding. I have two modes for ROM building.
Tinker mode which is at my leisure. Sleep normally and only work on the ROM at home. Then there is XDA mode where I litterally dont sleep for two or three days and just keep coooking all night long like a meth addict! Thats usually starts on Friday night and ends on SUnday night around 3:00am Monday morning! hahaha.
This weekend will be chill though. Just going to sit back and wait for comments to roll in to see how I did with this ROM and go from there.

Yeah, you may or may not like this ROM as I did detract from the stock look and feel just a little bit. But on the same note its the quickest Rom yet and has more available memory with no missing features.
I will try to get a couple screenshots up in a few. Sorta busy with crap at work today. Let me see if I have My Mobilier on this work machine. I forget....... Long night last night. hehehehe....
EDIT: Ok I got the home screen and App screen up. Let me know what else you may want to see before flashing....

Use the 2.1 dialer on 2.2?

I just switched from a 2.1 ROM (BeHero I believe it was) to the Elelinux_Froyo_2.2_v1.5 ROM on my Hero. One thing I miss is the 2.1 dialer, you know the one where you could enter for example "2662" and it would find all contacts with the letters "anna" and/or with number containing 2662. I really liked that. Dialer One does the same thing, but it is very laggy and slow.
I want the one to the right:
static.whalesalad.com/i/n1_vs_inc/phone_large.jpg
First I thought it was Sence-specific, but after flashing the above ROM but with Sence included, I realised this was not the case.
Anyone know if this is possible?
Dialer one from market has T9. Froyo is AOSP and it has the default Google Dialer.
another suggestion nubdial
This question has been asked EXTREMELY many times AND it's in the wrong section...
Another suggestion is to post in the right place as this is not development... Lol sorry it just gets on peoples nerves so thought i'd jump in there before someone else does
Lol bummer seems i was too late
Haha...

you can take the dialer from 2.1 and put it in your rom?
if yes you can try with adb filemanager or update.

i had the same problem as i was on elelinux froyo 1.4. i thought that dialer one and nubdial were just two ****ty piececes of software. than i flashed froydVillain and OMFG they both worked brilliantly, no lags, nothing... also everything was just so much better in FV.
i think you should try too.
Yep, i use dialer one and it works perfectly. Another app you might want to try (instead of stock android contacts) is phonebook 2.0. downloaded it y/day and its amazing, syncs facebook pics too. Also shows activity, such as calls, messages, facebook updates, lets you reply. Anyway its way better then stock android contact IMO.
These two apps made me feel a lot better about going to froyo without htc apps.

[Q] Swype lag on HTC messaging.

I've read earlier posts that had the same problem I do, but most of them were old (and hopefully the problem has been fixed now)
Swype makes the messaging lag because the client has to load a certain amount of messages before you can start. is there a way to either fix this, OR make the client not load as many messages?
i experienced the same problem so had to ditch swpye a few months back, great substitute for typing making fewer mistakes savng time so if anyone does have a solution please let us know
nope, apart from regularly deleting your texts theres no way round it....
swype has its own issues with lag though whether its htc messaging or winmo messaging... even right now ads I try and type this reply swype is making me want to smash my face into the phone and scream "why wont you type? why wont you ducking type!!"
Go to settings tab, then More.
then go to 'Personal', and go to 'Input'.
When your input methode is Swype, tap on the button Options.
In the options scroll a bit down, and look for the part called 'Operation'.
Slide the slider of Speed vs Accuracy completely to the left (fast response).
Then tap ok, and it should work better.
Let me know if it worked for you, because they told me here on XDA it can possibly work, but I dont have received enough text messages yet to test it.

Nah, that's how I always keep mine, using it any either way drives my crazy-er! thanks for trying though.
What do you mean, it works exacly the same
had same problem for a long time , only affects swype
On the hd2 their are temp files the msging app uses i noticed its bassicly a giant debug log. When I saw mine after only having my phone for 2 months it was about a gig or so...I highly suggest deleting that. I am not sure if the HD2 opens that or its just an appendage type thing.
the best "solution" I've discovered is just turning off threaded messages. it's kind of frustrating, but there is no lag now...
I've found that custom keyboards are laggy for me too. The best solution that I have found is to simply make my phone faster. when I overclock or install a custom kernel on my phone, it usually decreases the lag caused by custom keyboards.

Good point, but it does not work everywhere. If you open a message from the sense preview it always starts the threaded view even if it is disabled in the inbox. Do you know a way how to disable threaded view there too?

Yes, you're right, and no, I don't. I just have to go through all the shenanigans of clicking everything. To me, it's worth it to use swype, and it's still faster and less tedious in my opinion, than waiting for messages to load.
Now I am using the ShapeWriter beta. It does not lag like Swype, however I really miss the vibration and a few other things. like swyping smileys.
For me, the lag only occurs when I use the newer version, 3.9.
If I use the older version of Swype I get no lag. Don't know what the version is but I attached a screen shot of it.

TXT message limit

I've just realised that there is a 3 message limit before it changes to multimedia.
I wanted to know if there was a way to remove this limit.
NOTE: I know you can dl other messaging app but the stock is good enough for me.

You can go to pulsars rom which has this fix for the stock app. Haven't seen it come up as a seperate thing. You don't tend to see too much work on things like the texting. I always asumed it was because there was little interest in working on something that is already available in several feature rich and well hashed out apps. I was kinda hoping for some tweaks for touch wiz but wonder if there will ever be much happening there for the same reason.
Yeah as krabman said, flash VillainRom 1.1 and install VillainTweaks works like a charm =)
Handcent SMS do the job, too... On stock rom ;-)

Well, nobody ever mentions things like this needing done.
Luckily someone told me about the 10 recipient, 3 SMS limit, so both these are removed if you flash VillainROM 1.1, and then use VRTweaks to take the MMS app fix
Ahem, I did sorta mention in your rom thread that if you were interested in adding a few basic tweaks to TW such as rows and columns it would find an audience with at least one poster. Assuming it wasn't too much work of course. lol
Good, well I have the same problem! 've walked a few things to try! and the exprimentei Handcend, but I do not detect all the contacts! someone already got the solution!?

Most ROMs should now carry this mod. Install CheckROM v6 and download it from the Kitchen app.

Is there a stable Swype (beta?) for CM9?

Hey all, I'm desperate to find a STABLE version of Swype to use with CM9. I've been trying to use the Swype Beta for a while, but each new Swype Beta update has actually made it progressively worse, rather than better!
I have uninstalled the beta, reinstalled, cleared data, etc etc blah blah... however, no matter what I do, the damn keyboard starts screwing up within 24 hours. The main problem I have is that the keyboard has a 60-120 second delay in popping up the first time I try to use it after a system reboot, or when the device starts getting low on memory. So, since I have to turn my phone on and off several times every day (to put it in a locker at work), this delay is killing me when I try to knock out quick emails, messages, or posts during a smoke break. There have even been a few instances where the keyboard failed to pop up at all!
I tried the Swiftkey beta, but that keyboard is just horrendous compared to a working version of Swype. Maybe I'm too dumb to figure out the Swiftkey settings, but the damn word predictions and autocorrection functions are horrible. I find myself constantly having to backspace and re-type entire words one letter at a time, which entirely defeats the point of a swiping keyboard.
As I said, I just want/need a stable version of Swype to use with CM9 on our GNote. If anyone has one, or can point to a good apk, I'd appreciate it tremendously.
Thanks ahead of time!

Did you read the OP? Swiftkey Flow is horrendous compared to Swype (when it works). I'm using Swiftkey Flow beta as we speak -- because I haven't found a working alternative -- but it is VERY painful to use... seriously, it's bad.
I just need a WORKING version of good 'ole Swype...

The android 4.2 keyboard is much much better than swype and now has the swype functionality. Flash that instead - there is a zip floating around here somewhere or i can upload it in a few if you want.
