are all htc phones laggy with the messaging app?
i had a blackberry before and as soon as i opened up a set of threaded texts on it i could reply.. i get that stupid 'loading' screen every time i try to open up a text conversation for at least a second or two.
with every rom/kernal update (been running das bamf remix since it came out and am on 1.6.2 now) it seems to stay as slow as stock.
i tried handcent and it seemed better but my notifications got messy so i didn't keep it.
any recommendations?
Atm0, I haven't seen any issues with the messaging app. How are you running with your the rest of your apps? whats your ram usage like? Have you tried BAMFs Desensed ROM or Tesla Coil?

I installed Launcher Pro Plus on Das BAMF 1.3.2 and whenever i open up the phone/dialer the call history that normally displays behind the keypad is blank. If i select call history from the bottom, then switch back to the dialpad, the history will be displayed. Its a pain to have to switch back and forth every time i bring up the phone. This doesn't happen when using Sense as the default launcher. Anybody have any idea what causes this or how to fix it? Thanks for any help/ideas!
I am having this problem too, really irritating.
dbu over in the development forum posted this:
Note: there seems to be a little bug with all 3rd party launchers where if you you hit the phone button and the dialer pops up, the contact list is blank and the smart dial does not work. To remedy this long press phone, select a new application and restart Launcher Pro then add the phone back, you may also have to open up the dialer and try to dial a few numbers and delete them and the contacts should appear. Not really sure why this happens.
Going to give it a try and see how it goes.

I did it yesterday and it fixed it. Just change the icon back to what you want after and you should be all set. I haven't had an issue since I did this.
How's LP running for you? I was using LP paid, but after the last update, it runs like complete crap for me. (I'm on the BAMF ROM too).
Sense runs perfectly, but LP is laggy and FCs a lot. Makes my TBolt feel like my old G1, ugh.
I have been experiencing the same problem with Launcher Pro. Even stock my phone still did that. Like it was said above, type a number in and delete it and your recent calls will come up. I haven't installed a custom rom yet, I'm just running the stock root rom with the 1.4ghz kernal. It doesn't force close or run slow for me. I prefer it to sense.

Mine is a bit slow when I get texts and Handcent pops up. The screen unlocks, the window pops up, and it takes a while until the sms sound plays. I have been able to reply to the text and send it with time to spare before the sound plays. That's the only lag I've had really. I may try using the stock app and see if that clears it up.

Use the fix I posted earlier.

It worked for me.
The fix worked! LP has been running great (im using tesla coil 1.1 with drod's latest kernel).

I finally had to give up on LPP for now. Sucks too because I had my phone set up very nicely. I ended up with more issues using Handcent and LPP(with Das BAMF rom) and I tried GoSMS(hated it) and the stock app(also hated it).
I'll keep it loaded on my phone for now and see when it updates if anything changes.
I'm not using LP but handcent works fine for me.

I looked through the comments on the market for Handcent. Apparently there are a number of people experiencing the same issue I am regarding the lag. Maybe I'll uninstall it and reinstall it. If it's anything like a computer, it will work flawlessly after that.
The famous SMS bug where your text messages go to a different recipient bit me last night, using the stock HTC mms app on an old rom. Using handcent or a different 3rd party app usually makes that problem go away. The new roms (i'm flashing BAMF 2.0.5 right now) all feature sense 3.0 mms apps, do these solve that sms bug or no?
I have had many bugs with 2.0.5. The camera is on like at least a 5 second delay, if it doesn't FC first. I get MMS out of order and I am currently in the process of going back to 1.6.3 until these minor flaws get worked out. I would love to keep 2.0.5 on my phone but I need it to be reliable and stable and have all of the phones features working properly.
In by no way am I knockin the work of team BAMF or their work. As a matter of fact I love it. Just like a little more options and customizations available for my phone. I am going to continue to flash every new update for BAMF GB but just want something to fall back on until the final is released.
This is only prevalent in a previous version of gingerbread. Should be patched in 2.3.4.

Meaning what exactly? All versions of GB are 2.3.4?
This doesn't happen all the time but when I send an sms to a friend who I have sent plenty of messages to (more than usual friends) there is a lag in the animation when I send it. I have tried limiting the number of messages per thread and that did not help. It also doesn't seem to matter if there are a lot of apps open. It is very annoying and hopefully can be fixed. I am on the stock 2.3.5 firmware (KI3) but this has been happening since I got the phone. Any suggestions?
No one else has this problem?
I did when I first bought the phone, however after updating to 2.3.5 it dissapeared. I stopped usng it anyways, prefer handcent
i noticed that in 2.3.4 which i updated yesterday.....i tried to delete the conversation with lots of sms and it was smooth again, it wasn't doing so in 2.3.3. they fix one thing and another goes off, classic!!

I fixed it actually by taking off split view. So far so good.
Hi, after using my HTC Hero since it was launched I finally recieved an SGSII at work.
I really love the phone, and have been able to tweak most things to my likings, but the iPhone-wannabe-ish SMS thread viewer is definately not to my taste. No big issue, ofcourse, but I'm still posting about it in case some of you skilled Android-hackers/users have an easy solution. On my Hero I really loved the look of the SMS app in FroydVillain (Froyo) and Decked (GB). I'm honestly not sure, but I think they both ran stock unthemed SMS apps. Black baground, white text, clean interface without those silly bubbles. I've been trying to do a Google image search but haven't found out how the stock SMS app really looks in ICS so I don't know if the cartoonish iPhone-bubbles are from TW or AOSP.
I dont want some bloated and ugly SMS apps like Handscent or Go SMS that I've heard cause problems like duplicate sms-es.
Also, since the phone is my eployer's I want to avoid flashing/rooting it, so simply installing mms.apk from a different ROM is not possible afaik.
So, any suggestions? I guess I'm sort of hoping someone already compiled a binary/apk based on mms.apk that can easily be installed and used as the default messaging app.
Hey folks,
Anyone have slowness within apps like handscent or chompsms? I thought it was a problem with handscent and switched to chomp but still have the same problem. When I go to open up a thread it stays on a blank transitions screen for a good 5 seconds at times and bouncing between conversations it loads them so slow. I have a stock untouched phone and just wondering if it is just me or what. I have rebooted and it does not seem to help. I guess I should use the stock app and see how it goes huh....

What helped for me on my OG evo 4g is that I disabled defaults for stock messaging app. Try that and tell me if it helps.

That is the first thing I do....it is also slow in ChompSMS. The default messaging app works fine. It definitely has something to do with 3rd party apps like Handscent and ChompSMS.....oh well.
I've been having this problem too. I am running Mean ROM 5.9. I was using Handcent. Since the problem starting happening, I believe in the last month or so, I've been switching between that and the stock messenger to see which works better. I just uninstalled Handcent in case that was a problem. It doesn't seem to be helping so far though. Maybe I'll try a restart.
I'm running the Viper 4G ROM and I started having this problem like a month ago using Handcent. It sometimes takes almost a full minute when I first try to open the app.
I think this could be an issue with the Facebook contact syncing. See here.
