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.
Hey all, tried searching for this but found no one else having this issue. I have an issue when sending a text/email or using the keyboard. Randomly while using the spacebar, the spacebar will move approximately 10 spaces and then close out of the message. It may be associated with the common Vibrant lag- that could be whats causing it. It happens with all keyboard apps - swipe, better, stock android and swiftkey. Anyone else having this issue? Its hard to describe..
Right now I have stock vibrant. Got it bricked during the ji6 update and I'll root and modify it after 2.2 is out. My PC is old and couldnt handle the odin software!
Thanks for all your help everyone!
I have a strange problem - I have LauncherPro (with customized dock icons), BobClockD3, and MinimalistText, running at DAS Bamf Remix 1.6.3. I get notification sounds but then when I go to open my phone, they do not show up in the top notification bar and I have to go to messages/Facebook/or whatever to see that I got a new message. I am not sure if this is due to LauncherPro because I noticed it after I installed it, but I tried checking off the "Missed call count/Unread SMS count/Unread Gmail count" under Preferences -> Dock Settings, but since I have customized dock icons, I am not sure if it will work or not... I even tried unchecking them, but I still do not get any notifications on the top of the my phone, which is strange. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? Any help would be appreciated!
Other phone information that may prove useful:
Android Version: 2.2.1
Baseband Version: 1.16.00.0402w_1
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.21.bamf_4.4.7-g21c0620-dirty (by a adrynalyne #1)
Build Number: 1.13.605.7_Das_BAMF_Remix_1.6.3
Software Number: 1.13.605.7
Nevermind, after a reboot and re-installation of LauncherPro, everything seems to work fine. Strange that it happened... Oh well. Thanks anyway!
Actually, now I have a slightly different problem but it still relates to notifications (so I did not bother making a new thread). On LauncherPro, I checked off all the notifications in Preferences -> Dock Settings -> Dock Notifications. The Gmail and the Phone ones work - when I have a new mail or missed call, a little red bubble appears next to my custom icons in the dock that tells me so. However, for SMS, it does not appear. I believe I remember it appearing one when I first used it, but it has not appeared since. Any idea on what I should do?
Also, is there an app or a way to make it so when I get a text, the screen on my phone lights up? Thanks! Any help is appreciated! (Sorry for this noobish questions)
Bump (still cannot find any solution).

i have the same problem with the same setup. haven't found an answer yet either.
I mean, it's such a small problem and it really is not a big deal, but since I have noticed it, I have been trying to find a solution and since I cannot find any, it is just eating at me now, haha. It's like a personal mission to try to fix this problem.
same here. do let me know if you found a solution.
i'm thinking ill uninstall launcher and see if that might be the problem.
thanks
You mean uninstall and then reinstall or just uninstall completely?

dont know what is the cause. i unistalled launcher pro. still with no positive effect.
This is strange... I am going to continue looking. Do you use the default messaging that comes with the phone or do you have an alternative app for SMS messaging (like Handcent or something like that?). I am thinking maybe a different messaging app might work with Launcher Pro, but again, I would have to experiment and test it out... Although I do like the stock messaging system, I would want to try to keep that.
Bump - does anyone have any advice on the problem?
Go sms pro will light up the screen when you get a text. It works well for me. The other problems I am not sure about. I have the same ROM with launcher pro and no problems
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Go SMS Pro? And you are able to see notifications on the bottom of Launcher Pro when you receive a SMS? I was looking around for a new messenger system, but I saw Handcent, Go SMS Pro, and a few others and I was not sure which people think is the best. I guess it is personal preference and I will give some a try... Thanks! Does anyone have any opinions on Handcent vs. Go SMS Pro vs. others?
I am going to try Go SMS Pro after I try to update my radio/try on a new kernel in the next few days, and I will let people know if that works or not.
EDIT:
I installed Go SMS Pro, relocated that shortcut on my dock, and after a few items and changing the icon around and putting the SMS Notification off then on again a few times, it finally worked. I feel maybe the HTC Messenger gives the LauncherPro dock problems at giving them notifications when messages come in? I have no idea. I like Go SMS Pro though, so anyone reading this, I recommend it. Thanks to everyone who helped!
My keyboard randomly stops working it let's me press buttons but nothing shows up I have to press the power button a few times till it works please help

I've had similar issues, but seemed to only occur when using a new input method or on reboot. I use swype and once I switched to the Evo swype apk, the problem stopped. Probably doesn't help your case, but I know you're not alone.
I know this may not really fix your problem but really just provide an alternative solution, you could use Swype. Swype is much faster (in my opinion), and you still have the option to type normally with it. You would have to download the beta from Swype's Website, it doesn't take too long to register for the beta.
I have had this problem too in the past. I'm just curious, do you use handcent? The only time I've really seen this happen for me is in handcent's popup windows, but I have no idea why it happens, and honestly, it doesn't happen often enough for me to want to try to figure it out. But I feel your pain, when it does happen, it's quite annoying :/
Happens to me all the time... I use Smart Keyboard Pro.
See my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1132927
Wish I could figure this out. I type super fast and it's starting to get veryyy annoying.
Wow so does mine LOL I thought. I was crazy.

Ya i had major problems with this on the stock keyboard. I also had just general problems with lag sometimes in the stock messenger app, as well as receiving duplicates of text messages. I formatted the cache partition in cwr and used the gingerbread keyboard in the market and have since have had zero problems (so far lol).
Same Here!
I'm having similar issues. When I "wake" my TB up and try to go in to type a text message, email or any other thing that uses the keyboard, the keyboard shows up and allows me to type, but nothing shows up on the screen.
I've tried using the GB keyboard from the Market (which I REALLY like), but no matter what I try, I seem to have a problem. I thought it might be WidgetLocker interacting badly, but uninstalling that doesn't work. I thought it might be because I was using Go SMS Pro, but uninstalling that didn't work either. I went back to using the stock keyboard (which I really DON'T like), but to no avail. The only thing that DOES seem to work is to reboot the phone.
This is getting a little ridiculous! I don't want to have to reboot this phone every time the keyboard decides it doesn't want to work! Anyone have any advice?
Just FYI, I'm not rooted. I haven't gotten that far yet. The only thing I've done that isn't stock is to run Go Launcher as opposed to Sense. And this issue was happening when I was running Sense as well.
New to this forum and seeking some help(obviously)
Had this phone for about 3 weeks now and I love it. I just have one problem with it.
In the stock messaging app, Kik, and a couple of other apps, my keyboard will occasionally freeze. Android keyboard, LG keyboard, Swype... They all do it.
But I can still type on it, it just won't show me a "live-shot" of what I'm typing. When I press the back button(hides keyboard), all the text that I typed would show up. For example, if I type/swype "I like cake", it won't show anything in the text field until I hide/exit out of the keyboard. Then it all the text shows up at once.
I've tried everything I know of. I've done a factory reset on the phone, I've disabled keyboards, I've uninstalled apps. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! This isn't a huge pain because a restart temporarily fixes it, and this phone only takes like 45 seconds to reboot. It's just annoying since it happens several times a day.

Never happened to me....Are you stock, rooted, unlocked....if so what ROM/kernel are you running. It helps when you post as much information as possible so we might be able to determine if its something we can help with. That happened to me on my old Infuse ALOT, but i was flashing multiple ROM a day just playing around....

this is strange I have had no issues regarding this whether I was stock or otherwise. If you got it from best buy take it back and get another, I have gone through 3 LGOG until I found one that didnt have strange issues. But I also got mine early. Maybe some of the senior members have had this issue. Good Luck
Thanks for the replies. I'm not rooted and I've installed all the updates they've sent out so far. I've looked online and I haven't been able to find anyone else with this problem...
I got it from AT&T(They matched Best Buy's price for me!) and I have to go there in about a week to get a credit on my bill, so I'll just ask them to try to figure out what's going on.

Swap that out when you go. Good luck !
I fixed it. Apparently one of the few apps that I did not uninstall was causing the problem. Tesla LED(Flashlight app) was causing the keyboard to freeze. I have no idea why... That app has nothing to do with the keyboard. But I uninstalled it, installed another flashlight app and haven't had a problem since Tuesday night.

Hahaha, no problem, man! I installed Tiny Flashlight + LED and added the widget to my home screen. So now all I need to do is tap the widget and the flashlight turns on.
Ya, so I havent downloaded any flashlight app, yet fairly frequently, in messaging, web browsing, and the like, my keyboard stops displaying input (sometimes even gestures in web browsing, such as swiping to move around the screen freeze too). The words and other things i change, such as where in a web page it is focused does take effect after hitting the menu key on the phone. Typing also seems to work regularly in landscape, but im not used to turning it every time i type and id rather not get used to it. It happens with the Android keyboard as well as the LG one, and might be related to the similiar freezing the google voice and swype brought, but im fairly positive i completely uninstalled those, so idk...

Hey guys I just notice this as well fresh from the att store, although I've only seen it only once. So I'm 100% sure it's not due to rooting/bootloader unlocked. My suspicion is some sort of memory leak in the LG keyboard service (it's loaded as well even though you're using android OS). I clear both keyboard data and reboot, never happened anymore since then.
