this will be my first thread in your beautiful site
i have hd2 now 3 months and i useing the original room offered by htc.com but i always find a problem annoy me
i exchange alot of sms between me and my fiance and after a while i feel the function of the sms is slow as everytime i open to compose a message it take time to respond as it keep scrolling till it mark the last message , sometime si have to delet messages to make this work better
anyone can help me or advice me how to solve this problem or tell me about anoter application can be used to avoid such slow performance of htc sms ?
is there any option to save my sms in folders or get it back if i changed the rom ?
I get the same problem this happens when i have a lot of sms that i dont delete , so all you need to do is delete all the old sms.
Do you really need to save all texts? Yes => backup and delete
No => delete
This sounds as my son...... in just two months he managed to collect over 9000 texts, and then complained is was slower and slower (HTC P3300).
BTW what number of texts do you have (just wondering)
Thanks for your reply

100 should not be a problem.
Perhaps you should disable threaded message? (sorts and orders your sms-es, could be why it takes so long)
Here is a discussion about backing up sms and wich tools to use.
Have you looked at your memory usage?
try to keep your memory as low as possible, perhaps that speeds up things.
(If memory is almost full, phone will get slower (swapping).

My phone was starting to get extremely laggy at times. I had thousands of text messages, so I deleted them all (it took hours). And now my phone is fast as hell. Not sure if this has been said before, but it might as well be repeated because I was getting really frustrated and didn't realize storing texts could slow my phone down that much.

And call logs too.
BTW, there is a free market app for deleting text messages in groups called "Delete Old Messages" - snappy name, eh? You can tell it to "delete everything older than 60 days", 30 days, etc. It works pretty well, even on stock Sense phones that are choked with text messages. If you have thousands and thousands of them it will go slowly, but in an unattended fashion - that's way better than deleting them thread-by-thread. It also has a progress bar so you can tell whether it is making any headway.

Ok first of all, hi ! Yes im the latest annoying newbie but I will try to keep my annoying questions to as few posts as possible.
Ok so the Galaxy S 2. My dear god I love this phone but sweet Jesus its driving me crazy ! It seems that to use a smartphone today you need to be a member of forums such as these or a degree in techstuffthatjustsoundslikenonsensetome.
For the life of me I cant believe modern smartphones do not come with a manual. I remember my old nokias of a decade ago came with small books to guide you through what was basically calling and texting ! These days...nothing and the manual from Samsung is hardly any better than the 'leaflet' that comes in the box. Anyway rant over but after exploring for days and searching on tinternet for answers I still cant solve a few issues I have with this phone so please any help would be a god send.
1. Vibration level. Is it me or is it crap ? My old 3g ( goodbye forever Apple ) could practically take me across a linoleum floor if i sat down but i just dont feel it when its in my pocket. I have it up to max but have missed every call so far !
2. Sms notifications. I have installed Go sms pro which is a great little app and i prefer it over the stock sms. However i cant stop getting sms through from the stock app as well as go sms pro ! I have uncked all available boxes in settings for the stock one but still getting them through, its driving me nuts. How can i receive texts only through go sms pro ?
3. Contact photos. Just cant sync them with facebook at all. when i try all i get is two each of the same people in my contact list, one for fb and other with phone details etc. All i want is a bleeding picture next to my contacts Am I missing something very simple or is this a good example of companies alienating the average consumer with 'harder than it needs to be' technology ?
And lastly
4. Web page autofit. So if I double tap on text it should autofit right? Well all it does is zoom in. I have tried all different settings, double tapping at different speeds etc and it works about a third of the time so I just dont know what im doing differently those times ! Do you have to tap on a specific part of the screen to auto fit or what ?
Anyway I hope your not all lighting your torches by now, I have looked for the answers ( and looked, and looked ) but to no avail and tried the suggestions from similiar questions on here but alas my love / hate relationship with this phone continues.
For many of your questions, a good old fashioned search would have turned up quite a few answers.
Just saying.
But....
This seemed to deal with your fb questions.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088385&highlight=facebook+contacts
As for question four, have a search for 'text reflow'.

Thank you for your reply. With respect, as mentioned in my op I have searched for the issues raised and read the thread you linked to however my problems persist.
Does anyone else see the vibration level as an issue ? It does seem very low to me.
Yes, the vibration issue is a big problem for me too. I'm coming from an iPhone 3GS and before that I used a Nokia E71. Both of those phones' vibration would wipe the floor with SGS 2.
When I first got it, I kept searching in the menu for a setting, but there was only one for haptic feedback strength, not notification vibration.
I'm just hoping a future firmware update will fix this or a code will be revealed where we can set vibration strength.

i think this is a bug with the SGS2.

wait so text reflow DOES work for you sometimes when you pinch to zoom, then double tap that text and it fits the screen? cause most are saying it's not working on the SGS2. but i tested the samsung infuse last night, and it does in fact work like normal. so is everyone here not performing it correctly?
what i did on infuse, load a webpage, it loads zoomed out. i pinch to zoom to a desired level, then release. text goes off the screen edge. then double tap the text i zoomed to, and it re-formats to fit the screen.
we assumed this does not work on teh SGS2.
Feeling your pain, dare I say starting to think I wish I bought a htc sensation.
Come on, the facebook issue is a joke. I dont want multiple contacts of the same contact, ok ive merged them now, and hidden other fb contacts. That is until I want to send a txt, whoa they are all there again.
Sign out of fb, merged contacts disappear.
I just took this stuff for granted on my aging htc topaz.
Can't get any 3rd party launcher to display photo wallpaper properly.
Reader hub, sns etc, what a load of...
Page rendering/text reflow, taken for granted.
Hotmail, can't sync junk folder unless using exchange, which only downloads first part of email, click to load more.
Could go on.

Thank s for the replies, at least im not being a noob when it comes to these issues. its actually a relief ti know its software bugs and not me !
As for the double tap method i can confirm it DOES sometimes work to autofit the text. that is why i was getting frustrated when most times it does not work. i thought i was tapping a different part of the screen or some thing. i double tap in and out about six or seven times and then it will suddenly autofit.
im really hoping they sort the message notification bug out. as for Facebook i spent an hour earlier saving pics from fb, tra nsferring them ti my ohone and then adding my contacts pics one by one. pain in the arse but its done now.
typing this on my s2 has reminded me of another annoyance. the bloody full stop being so close to the space key i always have about 6 full stops in every sentence.

Better keyboard. Just get it. Or multi-lingual keyboard. Either will solve that problem
not sure why someone mentioned the "double SMS notifications" is a bug because it clearly IS NOT
you just have to go into the STOCK MESSAGING app, go to settings and UNCHECK "Notifications" (its at the very bottom of the settings)
I have Go SMS pro installed as well and only get ONE notification from SMS pro when i get a SMS - none from the stock messaging.
If the notification box is checked in the STOCK messaging app then you will get a notifcation from both the stock app and goSMSpro
I think it was very difficult to fit a bigger vibration motor in a smart-phone so thin like SGS2.
I guess we will have to live with it as is.

Is it me or anyone else having issues with whatsapp.
Sometimes it just does not notify me of a new msg, until I open the application (whatsapp). Probably, I guess its a glitch on the application side and not with Windows 7.5.. just comfirming, if others too are facing the same problem?!
same here with kik (whatsapp like)
if the lumia is on standby mode I receive new messages only when I unlock the screen and open the app
hmm.. seems like windows stops the installed application on standy mode... as the integrated mail system works fine.
I don't know if it's right or these apps aren't mango optimized
I have spotify streaming great even with the screen locked
same here ... i also think the start up is very slow
I have noticed this problem after the whatsapp update for group chat...
alright so its almost confirmed its the problem with the software and not our windows mango.. hope the developers tries to fix it, if its fixable..
how is the battery drain after installing whatsapp.
I had installed whatsapp sometime back on my Nokia E71 and it completely trashed the battery (I mean 100 to 0 in 2 hrs without even using the phone sometimes)
So is the version of whatsapp for wp7 better to battery
well Haven't noticed any significant drain..
I didn't notice battery draining but i have some issues too. It does notify new message also when the application is closed but when i open it i can sit down and wait till the next day to see the new message. I can say after a month experience that it works very bad.
WhatsApp for WP7 is glitchy and I think it does impact the battery. The developer really need to fix and optimize it better.
Yes, it seems to eat up the battery like crazy. My Lumia has pretty mediocre battery life already, but WhatsApp makes it even worse. Today I unplugged at 100%, sent 5 messages, received 7, and then left it alone. Less than an hour later I came back to find that my battery is now at 85%.
Not to mention that messages (on EDGE, mind you), take at least 10 minutes to deliver/receive. On WiFi it's almost instantaneous.

battery is still great after whatsapp.
have you ever used an android? battery does not last more than 24 hours.
anyway lets hope dev fix whatsapp asap. some times i do not receive new sms till i start application.
Not sure about the battery issue. But I did notice a few things about WhatsApp.
1. It does receive messages when its lying on my desk, if you have the tile for this enabled. Not sure if works with Tile disabled.
2. It only picks up Windows live phone numbers, and not FB phone numbers, even though both numbers are visible in the contact list and available in other apps, e.g. Voxofon, etc.
3. Battery issue, yes it does seem to consume a little extra battery with this app.
IMO, the app is not really optimised for WP environment, and is just a quick place-holder port onto this OS.
I really hope they update the app to fix the issue with accessing the FB numbers from Contact list.
EDIT:
Another suggestion for WhatsApp developers will be to use an IM service gateway, so that the WhatssApp messaging can be integrated into the beautiful messaging system in WP by just adding an account into the email/accounts menu.
This will allow users to seamlessly switch from text to WhatsApp to FB and so on, without losing the thread.
There's a new update for Whatsapp.
Another Problem.. dont know How did i missed to mention it, the first time...
is anyone able to open the received pictures from whatsapp..?!!

Yes, pictures send/receive works fine. If on G it takes forever, fast and seamless on 3G/WiFi.

You can't, stupid Windows OS doesn't allow it for some reason.
Same to my phone
its really annoying with all IM programs... a slow 3g makes it even worse, if you are lucky, you can read the push notification, if you are not...well then you have to wait 5 minutes to read it
WhatsApp is crap on WP.
But it's not that bad for me. Push notifications always work. I get the messages quickly. Thing is when opening WhatsApp it can take like 5 seconds for the message to show up in the thread. Laggy as hell.
For that reason I have switched to Kik Messenger. Works much better on WP than WhatsApp.

Whatsapp is indeed extremely poorly coded. I'm still wondering how it passed the certification considering its general sluggishness,its ugly design (come on, look at the thread bubbles) and its high CPU utilization (it really taxes the battery a lot).
I noticed the delays can either come from the network (slow 2G or 3G, or simultaneous 3G+Wi-Fi poor handling) or Whatsapp servers. The worse I've seen is 12 hours delay (overnight in fact). The notifications work just fine though.

I don't see why it is an MSFT issue. The OS is way more reactive and polished than Android. They're tons of quality apps - Whatsapp isn't just one.
I have whatsapp and have no issue with it, over 3g or wifi
For a few months at least now my galaxy ace has been having numerous problems - The main one being that most times when I receive a text I'll get it 3 or 4 times. I put up with that for quite a while, thinking it might just go away - I was wrong! After trying a few things that didn't work I decided to flash onto a different rom... whilst that seemed to work I started having other issues with the phone, until at one point it wouldn't accept my passcode so I couldn't get onto the phone, and so I did a reset, which fixed that issue. But after that I soon reverted back to the stock rom to avoid it happening again, and I have the same issue again where I receive texts multiple times, but over the past couple of days I also find it nearly impossible to write a text message! I'll press on the typing area, and when I type nothing appears... I fixed this in the end by downloading a task manager and killing just about everything - at which point it types (so I've established that it's down to the RAM usage) now the weird aspect I've found with my RAM is that despite nothing running it never goes below 200MB in use out of the 290MB.... Surely that isn't right? My phone runs incredibly slowly no matter what is happening and it's driving me crazy!
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I regret buying this phone so much now, but can't afford a new one at the moment
If you don't care about your data like sms, and are able to reinstall all ypur apps (use titanium backup for example), flash a new rom or the same if you want. It should be really faster, and then take care of your phone, restart it every one or two days to clean cache, don't install too many apps, our phone is not made for intensive use.
Hit thanks !

Hi, I'm backing up at the moment - Do you think it'd cause the issue again if I also back up/restore my data as well as the apps?
I'm backing up now, so I'll let you know how it goes!
Thanks :fingers-crossed:
I think it would be better to not restore all datas, only those that you need (game data and stuff like that) but not all system data. For contact sync with google, for sms use sms backup, but don t restore everything !
Hit thanks !

That seems to have helped with the texting issue! Thanks, hopefully it won't come back again in a few days!
ram usage above 200 is i think normal...
i have 40-45 apps installed on the phone..and ram usage is always just around 200 mb..
but still my phone runs very smooth..
if u want lesser ram usage, i suggest u should use an app called autorun manager and block some apps which constantly runs in the background..!!

Yup it's normal
Mine was 230 all the time before using rafael kernel with domscript supercharger and crossbreeder entropy generator and now
It's 170
It's normal don't worry
Otherwise install the above things like I have done
