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 guys I finally got around to rooting and freezing some apps last night on my X2. However, now I'm having texting problems. They seem to go out fine but they rarely come in. Also, I sometimes get a FC error saying the application Text Messaging ( process com.motorola.conversations has stopped unexpectedly.
Also, when texts do come in about 75% of the time I get two of the same text. This may be a chompsms thing since it was doing this before I rooted.
The list I used can found by googling "X2 freeze app list" and it's on androidcentral. (i can't post links, sorry)
Can you guys help sort this out? Thanks!
I've looked at the list and its sound. None of those apps should have caused the issue you are experiencing. You mentioned a 3rd party messaging app? Do you still have the stock messaging app?

Yes I sure do. I haven't removed anything, I've only frozen apps. I went halfway through the list and just froze a few at a time but stillgot the random FC's. I'm not sure what to do now..
I would unfreeze everything and see if you still get fcs. If you do it might be your third party app. If not then freeze just Verizon apps and freeze the rest one at a time, that way you can discover the problem by process of elimination. I personally think the third party app is causing the problem but hey I could be wrong.

If I don't freeze anything then I don't get any fc's or problems to speak of. But that kind of defeats the purpose of buying Titanium Pro and the phone is much quicker when I had a bunch of the bloat frozen. I'll spend some more time freezing apps slowly but the problem is that the fc's don't happen happen every time even with the same list of frozen apps so that makes narrowing it down very difficult. If you have any great ideas in the meantime let me know, thanks!
Sure thing I will keep it in mind

You can freeze the datacollection APKs, but just know that you won't have any battery statistics and some data push features won't work either. If you freeze datacollection without freezing the 3 Suggestions APKs, you'll get a force close on the RuleChecker at startup.
I kept the social stuff mainly because the stock ROM doesn't integrate the Facebook app like stock Android, so in order to have your Facebook contacts sync'd with your phone contacts, you need the blur_facebook.apk authenticator, and to keep the status updates intact when receiving a phone call from a contact with Facebook data, you need some of the social apps (mainly friendfeed.apk). I disable the social messaging notifications from the Messaging app in the launcher, as the official Facebook app provides notifications, and I don't need two.
If you don't care about that stuff, just remember that the stock ROM expects many of the authenticators to be there, mainly Facebook since stock Android also links with Facebook. You may get force closes when trying to open or edit a contact, or when text messaging contacts.
Here are the APKs that will cause FCs in the contacts area (opening or editing a contact):
blur_activesync.apk
blur_email.apk
blur_facebook.apk
blur_yahoo.apk
I kept blur_picasa and blur_youtube as I wanted these sync'd in my gallery.
blur_xxx are authenticators (used in the Accounts page)
Blurxxx are actual programs
Sorry about the length, but some things need to be explained so everyone can understand these things.
Thanks for the very long and detailed post Jason. I'm also trying to get my extended battery calibrated but the Battery Calibrator app doesn't seem to be working.
I will definitely get to work on that app list but with just those few that I had listed I wasn't able to get into my contacts without a fc. I don't see how everyone else is doing all these things so easily but I'm struggling. Is it possible to have a bad root or something?
I didn't read all of Jason's post, so forgive me if I repeat something, but I use Chomp and have run into something like this, but only if I freeze the default messaging application. If I freeze it, I can send text from Chomp, but not receive them. Unfrozen, I can send and receive fine. As much as I'd enjoy freezing the default app, I've just disabled the notifications from it and hidden it from view. I know I was able to freeze it without issue when I first got the phone (back on FroYo), but, since updating to GB, it causes issues.
I've seen problems when my mother sends me a text where it doubles the text, we are both in VZW and the text itself is doubled on her end, so could it be VZW?

Forgive me if mentioned or answered I didn't read...just saw this while at work
did u happen to freeze email engine or authentication?
That will mess up texts
I can't remember now for sure but I think I froze Corporate Sync Authenticator. Would that affect texts? I need to get some more time to play around with this but it's so darn frustrating, I thought this would be pretty straight forward. I also still can't get my extended battery calibrated. I get the blinking red-light after about four hours off the charger

Our phone will NEVER read an extended battery correctly
no matter how many times u "calibrate" it.
You gonna want to use a battery widget and keep an eye on the voltage left.
I believe around 3700 is pretty much dead and u should recharge.
Corporate email may have had something to do with that text issue.
It sounds more likely that it is the third.party message app giving u issues.
I know when I used go sms and I froze stock message app I entered the APN and SMSC #'s or something like that manually ((I forget exactly what I entered...but I had found what needed to be entered by digging around in root explorer somewhere)) for it to pull messages and send correctly....
good luck...
If I have time later ill browse around and see if I can locate what I did before...

Yeah I have had mine go lower than 3700
I meant that when it starts to go under 3700 it seems to drop faster also
so its a good idea to charge up when u get under 3700 since its a BAD idea to let a Li-on battery drain completely....they work better and last longer if u start charging when it gets to around 15%...
Thanks for clarification motcher
Thanks for the input guys. Unfortunately I just can't seem to freeze anything without getting force closes. So I guess my root was all for not :/ boo.
Is there a specific battery widget that you would recommend? Or will any do?
When i first got my X2 I had a problem with sending double texts and not being able to open a thread once it had 100+ mesages in it. I would have to delete the thread for it to be corrected. I rooted the phone and tried freezing and unfreezing a bunch of apps and it still gave me problems. Both when i was stock with very few apps and rooted. But when i flashed minimal x it seemed to quit. Ive been running Eclipse and now CM7 and havent had anymore issues. Btw the problem with the text wasnt just one phone. This is my second X2 and both had it till I put a rom on it. Im sure there was something simple I missed but I still dont know what.

I might have to give CM7 a try. This is just complete BS. I rooted in order to freeze and apps and calibrate my battery, neither of which I can do. So now I have a stock phone with a pointless root :/

take a stroll thru booked's sticky in development section to see what's available
Yeah I saw a lot of people raving about Eclipse. I was going to install that but for some reason while I was reading up on how do it I got scared off. Convince me it's easy
How long until the new rom comes out? Is it ICS?
I've looked around for an answer, but I can't find it anywhere.
First of all, I have an HTC EVO 3D GSM.
I've had it for a few months now and noticed that the messaging app takes longer and longer to open messages.
The more texts there are, the longer it takes.
However, today the phone wouldn't open any threads, it would just get stuck on the "loading..." screen.
It's driving me insane cause I can't reply to any texts.
After that, all my contacts got wiped, no idea why. So I restored a v-card, however the contacts pictures didn't come back.
I'm considering doing a hard reset, but I really don't want to, because I've done it so many times with this phone. It's actually been causing me too many problems.
Does anybody know a fix to this texting problem? I'm willing to try anything, however I don't want to use a third party app for texting.
Should I just do a hard reset or will the problem come back after another month?
Thanks in advance.
TLDR. - I can't open messaging threads on the phone, it gets stuck on "Loading..."
How many messages were in your app before it started doing this? I find any time you get more than 1000 texts, it starts to run slow. At that point you should delete all your threads.
However, since you cant even get into it now, you may need to clear the data from the app in settings-apps-manage-messaging-clear data.
I would honestly do a factory reset. Or you could possibly have a malicious app on your phone that is causing those issues.
Evo3D.
Hate to bump this, but some people may find it useful.
The problem was that there were too many messages, so I used the app "SMS Backup and Restore."
If there's more than 500 messages, the app gets slow.
I had about 15000.. which explains why it kept freezing.
Thanks for the help.

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
I'm new to this forum so I really have no idea what I'm doing. And I'm not crazy smart with my phone. I have a Droid Eris and it's super slow. Everything runs slow even when no applications are open. I dont have a lot of apps open because I have the task killer. I got rid of all my texts too and deleted a few apps. When I go to call someone, it's delayed for about two minutes and finally calls. I also have problems with text messages, sometimes when I go to text back I'll type but nothing will show up in the box where I'm typing. I was reading about roots and such, but I have no idea how to go about doing this or changing everything so it can be faster. I need some serious step by step information as I'm not familiar with all the terms and what everything means. I've seen a few posts about this but don't understand it at all. Please help!
These phones are not fast period lol my fiance uses one and i rooted and flashed many roms to it and it still has a lag....shes running cm7 and its better than the stock rom but still laggy....even on froyo its laggy but guess that what we get using a 3+ year old phone

Is your phone rooted or unrooted? If rooted what ROM are you running?
Either way, when's the last time you deleted a bunch of old text messages? I think I've read that when you have a buildup of a lot of old text (and especially MMS) messages, it can slow your phone down.
If all else fails and you're running the stock (unrooted) ROM, you could try a Factory Reset. The phone will be just like when it was new, so you should back up your apps that you have installed, and their data, if you feel you must, then after the Factory Reset only add things back a little at a time. I find that once your phone has less than 40MB of RAM left on a regular basis, that it really causes it to slow down tremendously.
Anyone experience a super laggy keyboard with Nils sense 4.0 ROM after updating to v2.9? I dont have 10 posts, so I can't post in the developer thread, but I have tried a clean install. It works fine at first, then after 5-10 texts, it gets super laggy again. Same thing after wiping the cache and delvik cache. Any ideas?
used alessfun
bump to increase my post count so I can go ask my question in the right thread. 10 posts before being able to post in the developer section is retarded.
and the captha images are too damn hard. Takes me at least three tries every time.
Okay, Im on attempt number ****ing 10 to post this. This is retarded.
I am not experiencing any lag and no one else seems to be complaining. Could be sync or some app running in the background. Look at running apps and anything you have installed.

Thanks NilsP,
I dont have anything installed yet. Ive reinstalled 2.9 twice and never installed any other apps. Yet after a just a few texts, the keyboard goes to crap. Everything else is super fast. It is only the keyboard. And it only seems to be in the text messaging app. I just downloaded handcent to see if it was just the stock app, and its laggy in both. But not laggy at all in the gmail app. I dont understand it.
Btw NilsP, Ive been on this ROM pretty much since day one. Have never had a problem with it until now. It is amazing. Just not sure why in 2.9 the keyboard is laggy, but only in texting apps. Nowhere else.
How many msgs do you have in app?

According to handcent, maybe 350 total. I limited it to 200 sms per convo and 15 mms per convo but no help.
A little update, its not laggy ALL the time. But it is about 95% of the time. Maybe like one text an hour, it works just fine. I do send a lot of texts, but it was never like this before 2.9

Nothing in 2.9 would have touched that. Try deleting all msgs
Also first try clearing data in settings - apps - HTC sense input amd messaging

Tried all of that. It worked great for about an hour, (47 texts all together, I sent maybe 20) and its laggy again.
Is it possible my sd card is causing it? I formatted it (after it got laggy) and it helped like everything else, for about an hour or so, but if I plug it in to my laptop and mount it as a disk drive, it works just fine. So, it seems as long as the phone cannot access the sd card, the keyboard works great.
Well, I am about an hour in with a brand new SD card and so far so good. Ill post again a little later. Everything else I tried lasted just about an hour, so Ill give it a little more time before I call this solved.
Several hours later and 200-250 texts later with 20 or so MMS and its still running smooth. Guess there is something wrong with that SD card.

I had an issue like that with my old OG droid. Once I replaced the SD card, BAM. System ran fine. I modded the heck out of it though and pushed it to its limit
I too am on the Business Sense and love it! Like Butter! I use Swiftkey keyboard though. Way better than stock and well worth it, IMO. But the main reason I rooted and loaded was for Google Now. If you haven't tried it, you should. It is fast and accurate.
Yeah... your SD card is most likely dying. Sorry man.
If it is your sdcard make sure to send it in a get a new one. They usually have lifetime warranties. (SanDisk does)
I have done it twice no problems.
